  • 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.

So you are Zaius' sockpuppet? That is what one user seamlessly carrying on another's conversation generally means.

Because you clearly don't understand biology, and the idea of you thinking you are better qualified than the entire scientific community to determine what is scientifically valid is hilarious.

Because presumably you like improving your mind. Generally, being educated is regarded as a virtue. I do realize there are some odd ones who disagree and literally lionize ignorance...

Of course not, the stupidity of idealizing groupthink and intellectual repression is left to religious fundamentalists, not scientists. Scientists disagree on various issues regularly, that is how a consensus is reached.

Very funny… maybe

Death is the champion of evolution. Simple logic is all that is required. Please apply some.

Survival of the fittest has an opposing dynamic “death of the unfit”. I reached that conclusion on my own (an accomplishment of average intelligence).

Oh God you're seriously getting your information on biology from youtube videos? That explains a lot.

No, you are wrong. A basic education is all that is required. Please get one.

An average intellect minus a basic education in biology apparently.

Disagreement must carry the approval of the intellectual community otherwise you are a religious fundamentalist. What could speed up the identification process? Maybe a tattoo on the forehead….Atheist approved.

Anyone who would pose either of those questions is unlikely to derive any benefit from either a textbook OR a scientist.

And anyone who would assume what the poster is trying to imply by linking the two questions has some enormous obstacles to overcome before any progress will be possible.

You opened this thread… So get to it… please respond… Pick one…

“Still I would like you to at least take a shot at really answering some evolution questions “begging an answer”. Lets see… no molecular mechanism for evolution, no possibility of random chance assembling life, fossil record shows most species are stable, C-value paradox remains a mystery to evolution, evolution cannot explain epigenetics, not enough mutations to show common descent from a Homo Pan divergence, Haldane’s dilemma still unexplained , no new real species or novel functions added by evolution, Fruit flies in captivity still remain a stable species after 40 years, ERV’s are not pathogenic viral infections maintained in the human DNA… etcetera.”

Just pick one please… an in depth discussion on any one of these or maybe you bring one up. Don’t add more misrepresentation to the already burdened reputation of the evolutionist.
