  • 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.

I'm wondering why 149 people bothered to vote if they don't care. I'm also wondering how many of the people who answered one way or the other actually understand the meanings of the terms "evolution" and "creationism". The fact that 31% believe in a combination of both seems to suggest a lot of people are getting "creationism" confused with "creation" and quite possibly believe that evolution = atheism.
