• 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.

How can they possibly be hated? Folks like Mr P.A.Lucas Ph.D. have already graduated to a very comfortable form of biblical exegesis, but when you look at it on the large scale, it's not even isolated to these two. Today you have emergencies like "Religious Naturalism" advocating a philosophy where religious people should look at spirituality bereft of super-natural elements.

Darwinism is more or less a set-it-and-forget-it mechanism. Once you plant it, if you can plant it, you will get the uncontrollable debasement of texts, the aformentioned contradictory hazard in the form of religious naturalism, or full on materialism. So how can you hate people who not only spread it, but are already within the ranks you are trying to infiltrate. They are an invaluable asset.

Then why do you still troll around in the sciences sub-forum? You of all people should know that evidence is the cornerstone of science.
Since when do I claim creationism is science?

AV your apple challenge is a flawed comparison. If you conjured a rotten apple with 2 weeks of measurable bacteria, mold growth and decay on it. Then claimed it was created an hour ago it would be a much more accurate depiction of young earth creationism.

You're still begging the question... why are you in the science sub-forum if you don't accept science?
For the same reason you're here discussing creationism.

We can show you everything SINCE then.
AV, what would you say if you heard a reverberating boom, saw a big crater, smoke rising from it and debree raining down? Would you REALLY say 'there has not been an explosion!' just because you didn't SEE it?

I'm not comparing my apple to creationism -- I'm comparing it to creatio ex nihilo.

Again, if you want to, go ahead and assume it's blue, has a MADE IN JAPAN sticker on it, and squirts lemon juice.

Just answer it, please.

Nonetheless, the evidence is there. Anything proposed as an explanation for reality must explain why it is there.
Reality can take a hike.

I'm talking about the earth on Day One of the creation week, coming into existence outside of the realm of science, by a process called creatio ex nihilo.

And, as we all know, Genesis has absolutely nothing to do with reality.

thanks for clearing that up.

Yes, so you keep saying. And we keep telling you we have information about the time before your supposed day one. So how do you reconcile that? Did/does God lie?

Before Day One, God is -- that's it.

John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
