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

Explain how a simple cell evolved into a higher organism capable of reproducing itself given all the factors against it (time, environment, etc). How that orgainism changed from reproducing by iteslf to reproduce in pairs. Then, find another organism with the same characteristics but opposite sex in the same geographical area in the same timespan. The odds of that happening are just not possible!

Good thing the theory of evolution never suggests these things. You are using a strawman. Before you try to use your logic against the theory of evolution you might want to read up on what it actually says and familiarize yourself with the work in the area. That will prevent you from putting forth strawmen and looking ignorant of the subject.

Populations evolve, not individuals.

The idea of evolution does flatly contradict the Christian doctrine of redemption though.

Think about it:scratch:

Death came through the sin of one man- adam

Eternal life comes through one man- Jesus Christ

There was no death before adam sinned. No millions of years of death and mutation! Evolution and Christianity cannot co-exist!

Redemption doesn't require a Fall, only that we are Fallen. You don't need to point to Adam to prove our need for redemption. A simple look at ourselves and others will suffice.
