  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

No. That is a given. Total power to Jesus and believers soon.

Nice little revenge fantasy you've got there -- too bad that until/unless it happens, people who actually work for knowledge will still consider you insignificant.

Developments are taking man towards the realization of intelligent design, and that's just one example.
That's quite a paradox. If God exists and His intention is to make men know about His existence there would be no point of having faith. We would just know from the moment of our birth.

If you finally got thru, and all illusions were finally shattered, would you be pleased with what you had accomplished?

That's nice. Feel free to let us know when you have evidence that can be used in a scientific hypothesis.

Perhaps you know of another kind?

He might be a German or Scandinavian. I am not sure about English, but in Nordic languages the distinction is normally not so great. German pools it together as wissenschaft - or knowledgecraft, wherein both the humanities and natural sciences fall. This is both a terminology I like and dislike. In my opinion philosophy, psychology, anthropology and the like - while useful and worth a lot - could more aptly be called opinioncraft or if you wish some form of sophism than knowledgecraft.

Why? We deal in knowledge. Certain knowledge. Quantifiable, definable knowledge adhering to definable and concrete laws. They do not, and personal opinions, feelings, desires and perspectives have a wholly different role. Alas, at times people in the opinioncrafts try to apply their paradigmatic worldviews on the knowledgecrafts. Consequences can be such as the following:
E=mc2 is a "sexed equation". Newton's Principia (a "rape manual")

I do not think it impossible that Greg is pulling such a fail.

What Darwin is implying here is that we should take it based on natural processes like birth, not with data as the defining factor. Here you can see that natural processes must take precedence over data in refuting occasions of overlapping metaphysical activity.

No, actually. Here, I see you claim stuff about what dead Darwin was implying. If you are correct, then we owe all things to "natural processes"! In other words present nature. Not very deep. Not very original. Not falsifiable. Not biblical. Not intelligent. Not interesting.

Now, rapid evolution from created kinds in the different state past is interesting. We do not know at all that it involved natural processes we are familiar with, such as birth..are we? Maybe the animal itself changed. Now that is fast. Better to stick to what we know when spouting off science claims. How evolution worked we do not know in any detail, by means of present state science.

It's a brave new world.

Not the product of a floundering narcissist.

Cartoon physics?

Like this?

The Gospel of the Brothers Warner 3:6-25 said:
3:6 And lo, when the road runner did stop at the edge of the cliff, the coyote did not
3:7 and he kept going forward unto his doom, for his rocket skates did not stop.
3:8 But instead of falling, he remained held in the air, as of a great unseen force had a hold of him.
3:9 And when the coyote did behold that he was not supported by solid ground, his face developed an expression of grief
3:10 And only then did the force holding him let him fall
3:11 For that was the most humorous time to do so.
3:12 And in the moment before he fell, yea, even as his feet had begun to descend
3:13 The coyote held up a small sign upon which was written Eeek
3:14 For that was the sound of his dispair.
3:15 And then he fell, each part of his body stretching out before it too fell into the abyss.
3:16 And his head, being uppermost on his body, was the last to fall.
3:17 And then he was gone.
3:18 And he met the earth with the sound of a coyote falling from a great height.
3:19 And the road runner beheld this, and he saw that it was good
3:20 But he knew that his foe was not defeated forever, for that would not be funny.
3:21 And so the road runner saith Meep Meep, and then he made that strange popping noise with his tongue
3:22 And he raneth away into the distance, running into a large trompe l'oeil of a tunnel that the coyote had earlier painted onto the wall
3:23 But instead of smackething into the wall, he continued through the painting as though it was a real tunnel
3:24 For that was the funniest way to end the episode.
3:25 Th-th-th-that's all, Folks! Amen.
