Creationist Forum?

[Underdog77]

Here's something that may come to happen (hopefully). I just thought it would be interesting for a vote on it:

If a creationists only forum was created would it be good and/or beneficial?

I myself believe it would. I am a YEC and especially lately I have been getting tired of people with other views intruding on conversations that are aimed directly at creationists. It's like we can't even have a civil conversation without it turning into a debate because someone else wants to throw their undesired two cents in.

So vote on it .

Also, if I some how missed a possible answer, I'm sorry and just post your answer for all to see.

Hello Underdog. I am sorry that your conversations have been intruded upon. When I see a thread that says for creationist only, I stay out--because of respect.

 

[Underdog77]

If that's true I respect you for that. I'm sure you can imagine how frustating it can be to try talking to each other and then someone, over and over again, starts a debate out of it. But thanks anyways !

Yes, I do understand--it is disprectful and hurts the good name of us TE's

No! Your wrong and I can prove it.

Only kidding , I am strongly in favor of a creationist only forum my only concern is the level of popular interest. If a forum like that does actually make its way onto CF I would be a regular.

Grace and peace,
Mark

Only if evolutionists get their own forums, too.

 

[Underdog77]

fine by me. Talk to Erwin about it.

What the heck would we do with our own forum? Science doesn't exactly need an "amen" section. Creationism, on the other hand...

Heck you're losing the vore currently, kind of funny really.

 

[Dracil]

Hey, we can't just let the prey run off!

Kidding aside, if you guys can prove Creationism is its own Church (the only divisions amongst the Christian section of the forums, besides age and gender), then OK.

 

[Micaiah]

I think the idea has some merit.

Having observed what's being posted in the "creationists only" thread on this forum, and left uncorrected out of respect for the OPer's wishes, I think such a sub-forum would be an absolute goldmine of misinformation and oft-repeated nonsense. Much pietistic mutual backslapping, with a very poor light/heat ratio.

The Cosmogony forum on TWeb is perhaps the worst moderated & intolerant board on the internet. It is basically a board where Safarti of AIG can insult anyone and everyone without fear of retribution because DeeDeeWarren the owner of TWeb allows him to do this. But anyone else voicing any opposition is thrown off the board.

what is the exact site?

If a "creationist only" subforum were to be set up on CF, it would probably be prudent to carefully define what is meant by "creationist." If the term is defined the way it typically is in dictionaries, it would probably include virtually all persons who believe the universe was created by a supreme being or other similar entity. If, on the other hand, it is defined the way it is typically used in these CF forums, it would probably be limited to YECs--and possibly to only those YECs who think the universe is less than a particular age (probably somewhere in the range of about 6000-12000 years, though it might be wise to include that in the definition if the principal objective is to limit discussion to only those whose interpretations were precisely the same).

Here is an attempt at a manifesto that I believe most YEC's would agree with :

Christians who believe the plain teaching of Scripture are called YEC's (Young Earth Creationists) because they believe the heavens and earth were created in six days, ie six rotaions of the earths sphere.

Genesis is Scripture and the original manuscripts were therefore God inspired. 2 Tim 3:16. Texts available today, while not perfect, are a very accurate record of the original manuscripts.

The plain meaning of Scripture is to be accepted with consideration given to the context. Genesis is a historical, eyewitness account of Creation.

Since Genesis is God inspired, it is a truthful, and accurate in all that it asserts as fact.

Genesis plainly states that:

The heavens, earth and all living creatures were created in six solar days ie one rotation of the earth's sphere.
(List references)

Genesis 1 gives a chronology of the account of creation on each of the six days.
(List references)

Death came as a result of sin. There was no death prior to the fall.(List references)

Everything created by God was good.
(List references)

Adam and Eve were the first man and woman created by God. They were made from the ground.(List references)

It is important Genesis is understood by Christians to be an accurate historical record, because it forms the basis of many of our Christian doctrines, including salvation.

God did not use evolution to create those lifeforms we witness today, as that would erroreously imply:

Death and sin existed before the fall,


Creatures were able to change from one kind to another,
Creation took many millions of years.


​

God is infinite. His word is perfect, and He cannot lie. Any problems man encounters trying to reconcile Scripture with science are due to man's own limited understanding and fallen nature.

 

[Dracil]

Hmm, looks like no YEC can prove that Creationism belongs in its own church. Very well, I vote NO. On the other hand, if Theistic Evolutionists, OECs, and so on get their own subforums here, then it's no longer a Congregation thing, and I would be fine with that.

The truth of God's word is bigger than any denomination.
