  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

An interesting analysis of the word "day" in Genesis

Evidence for an earth older than 6,000 years?

This has been gathered and covered so often, there is no reason for me to compile the list once again. Here are a few sites for you to peruse which set out most of the evidence:

http://www.reasons.org/resources/apologetics/faqs.shtml?main#young_earth_vs_old_earth
click on "age of the earth" and you will find a number of articles on the subject.

Also you might want to check out this online book "A New Look at an Old Earth" here: http://answers.org/newlook/NEWLOOK.HTM#New

Also, this is a good summary as well:
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-age-of-earth.html

The point is so clear that some Creationist groups have resorted to the "appearance of age" argument. This position concedes that all the evidence does, indeed, point to an earth billions of years old, but that God just created it to look old.
