  • 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.

Creationism and evolution.

Why not just teach biology sans evolution or creation(ism) and let the students decide for themselves which is more likely? "Natural selection" is just as mysterious as God's spiritual creative force. Biology was successfully taught long before the ToE arrived on the scene.

Because creationism is sacred.

AND the False Theory of Evolution is the biggest Lie ever dreamed up by people who have REJECTED God's Holy Word as True. Evolution, in the simple sense, is nothing more than changes within His (Jesus) kinds and Their (Trinity) kinds. Today's scientists had fallen into God's Snare which He set with the Flood.

As they are falsely teaching our little children their fantasies, they are caught in the Trap which exposes their False Teaching that Humans evolved from the common ancestor of Apes. They have stumbled over the Fact that Humans were made long Before any other creature, on another world, which was totally destroyed in the Flood.

Scripture calls them the Scoffers of the last days as they become "willingly ignorant" that Adam's world was clean dissolved in the flood and our Cosmos will be burned. ll Peter 3:3-7 God Bless you

Actually believers don't need to support creation(ism) with scientific evidence. It is enough to expose the impossibility of evolution happening, leaving the only alternative....special creation.


I love how you managed to use a false dichotomy, an argument of incredulity and ignorance, and shifting the burden of proof... all in one statement!

You earn 4 combo points.

There is no Islamic version of creation. They made an incomplete copy of the Genesis 1 and 2, and it becomes very ugly.

It has many of them - they are called science books. Even if mostly you ignore them 95% of the time. Do we need to discuss finches that all interbreed and the scientific definition of species?

Evidence?

Apparently you can remain Christian and accept evolution too, just ask the Pope. So your second claim means what exactly?

You aren't aware of christians who claim that you can't be a "true" christian and accept evolution?

It teaches them from the first concept that we are animals

We ARE animals, regardless if evolution is true or not.
We're not plants, are we?


- and hence crime rate, single parents, divorces, has risen out of proportion to population increase from the year after it was implemented. It tries to recruit every person that goes to school. So your argument for recruitment means what exactly?

Please post a single study that supports this wild claim.

The Bible doesn't threaten you with hell either. That's simply another mistranslation of the original Hebrew.

So, would you say that an atheist can go to heaven?
Or do you belong to some denomination that doesn't believe hell exists?


No, you just threaten to take away their career prospects and tenureship instead if they openly profess faith in something besides evolution.

Not really.
When people are incompetent, they get fired.
When a doctor doesn't believe in germ theory, he gets fired. For good reason, wouldn't you agree?

It caused an entire nation to believe they were racially superior to every other race - and gave them the right to wipe out all those inferior races.

I'm pretty sure that that was a case of extreme nationalism coupled with some good ol' anti-semitism, facilitated by 2 millenia of christian prosecution and demonization of jews.

Not sure what you think the connection with biology is.

Isn't it survival of the fittest? Doesn't evolution teach that I could be better than you, more evolved? That perhaps you are inferior to me?

No, it does not.
Perhaps you should inform yourself.

I mean, it all depends on that random mutation does it not? Doesn't it teach the weak and infirm or diseased should be eliminated so they do not pollute the bloodline, just as the animals would do?

No.

Evolution theory is not prescriptive. It's explanatory about what goes on in reality.
It doesn't say what "should" happen. That's like saying that germ theory means that humans "should get sick".

That's complete nonsense.

Oh no, then it's ok to make moral judgements correct? But just where you believe it should be applied and nowhere else, right?

Applying it to strawman is kind of silly.

Bumping this for you, you seemed to have missed this post:

Since when is creationism banned?

You are allowed to believe in creationism, correct?
You are allowed to teach your kids creationism, correct?
You church is allowed to teach creationism, correct?
No one stops Kenny Ham from preaching creationism, correct?

So, show me how creationism is banned.

Keep going and explain, what about the specific origin of Pluto is important to science, from the creationist perspective.

Lets see if you can tie this together, or are willing to.

None of the existed models can explain features observed on the Pluto.
So, the implication by Creationism is NOT ANY WORSE, but could be much better.

It is not banned YET.
But if there is no resistance, then it WILL happen.
