  • 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.

My OP was a bit off target. It was a bit tongue in cheek, but had a great deal of honestly and desire. As the thread progressed thinks became a bit clearer.

It boils down to an argument about claims about existing doctors of life sciences being deceitful or myopic.

More created origin doctors of life sciences, less accusations of deceit and myopic.

Penn? That is the ivy league university from which my mother received her nursing degrees. It is fairly local, and I spent time on campus as a kid. I would love to creation discussions with on campus college people.

Idk, the thread was a weary spur of the moment thought.

What better way to defend the position of created origins than to provide credible evidence. Hands on evidence, not empty distortions of other people's work.

Sure. But there is no such evidence. And what do you expect from people, even if they manage to get their phd, who start their "research" with their conclusion already formed in their heads? So formed, that they'll assume their research to be wrong if it doesn't agree with their a priori beliefs?

There's a reason why the scientific community simply ignores these people.

It's the same reason as why proponents of a flat earth, geocentrism and stork theory are ignored.

Well, I try not to be deliberate in my ignorance. When I believe something is true, I push it. Often, I am humbled to find that I was wrong in my tidbit of knowledge. I immediately push to share how wrong I was. Sometimes, it involves an apology.

Nothing wrong with pushing something if you believe it to be true.

If you are choosing to push something in the scientific community, they will ask for objective support for your position, because that is how science works.

Of course, this is where the creation/science discussion typically breaks down.

I believe something is true from memory, experience and trust in some authority. Any of these things can wrong.

A lot of things can be wrong, this is why science relies on the great equalizer; empirical evidence, that doesn't lie and is not bias towards any one side.

Some believe something to be true based on faith beliefs and others do so based on objective evidence.

At the end of the day, people pick which one suites their fancy.

Some are successful at having faith and evidence as their fancies in life. They don't have to conflict.

This I believe as truth, based upon trusted sources. Jewish, Christian, and Buddhist sources.
