• 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

No part of history is "testable".

Though we can use scientific methods to test what happens THIS AFTERNOON, we can only make assumptions that conditions were the same "yesterday." Even in lab settings, conditions might change from day to day and throw off the final result.

Oh really? You would say its impossible to find a test to see if people have inhabited Africa for more than a hundred years?

No test possible to see if Wisconsin ever got glaciated?

You don't even have to go that far.

It's impossible to test if a car drove through my lawn last night!

You are so right! We will call Sky in as a expert witness for our defense if we leave a big mess all year long ! Garbage piling and rotting, just any kind of wreckage in the house. When the landlord complains and wont give us our deposit back we will say we didnt do it; you cant prove we did; in fact it happened in the 6 hours after we left. i burglar did it' I've heard of that sort of thing.
