• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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 do think it's off-topic though. As this is my thread, can we please get back on topic?
Just fyi --- here's a reminder of your title: Are Creationists Afraid of Debate?
This is a topic about debates, not a debate per se. It's in topics like the "Varves Only" thread, and many other focused and specialized topics started by many regulars around here, there's relatively few creationist participation in those kinds of debates.

AV, instead of your patented "/thread" line maybe you can use this icon next time:

That's what the OP notices too. Get it now? :thumbsup:

You have been invited to a formal debate and the offer still stands. You guys shy away from debates where you will actually have to debate on the issues which is why creationists get tired of the childish antics and just stop posting.

This is not a substantive argument, it's a lot of foolishness.

On another level it could be classic projection.

Have a nice day :)

I'll debate you on any topic related to GEOLOGY, GEOCHEMISTRY, or CHEMISTRY you want.

You send the invite, I'll take you on.
