  • 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.

Creationist have problems with evolution because evolution makes sense.

My taxes and your scientific colleagues say otherwise.

No, they don't. Your tax dollars go to the Island of Guam treasury, not the US Federal Government, and as such have never been used for any of the trivially small number of tax dollars that went to SETI.

What's more, your tax dollars are supplemented by my tax dollars to keep that island you're on from turning into even more of a useless wasteland than it is today. In other words, I (and all the other actual US taxpayers) pwn your sorry little speck of dust in the ocean; deal with it.

Actually evolution makes no sense. The fossil records point against it, carbon dating has been shown inaccurate, all the "missing links" like Lucy have been shown to be fakes, and there is no continuing of evolution, that being no new species walking out of the jungles and just showing up. Not to mention that the Second Law of Thermodynamics goes completely against the evolutionary theory. Now that being said can I prove creationism anymore then you can prove evolution with out a shadow of a doubt? The answer of course is no. Evolution and Creationism are both theories, and can not be proven by the Scientific Method. The only difference is faith.

Incredible.

And as a Bible-affirming, evangelical Christ-follower, I find this recitation of creationist distortions of science embarrassing. (I'm not entirely certain that this is not a Poe-player pulling our collective legs.)


We as Christians believe in a God and his Word, and therefore believe what is said by faith..

True.


Just as one who believes in evolution believes by faith, since there is no hard evidence, that we evolved.

False. I'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume that the poster is merely repeating what he has been told by Ken Ham, Kent Hovind, Ray Comfort, and other evidence-deniers who fail to respect what God has revealed to us in the created universe. I refuse to accept the logical result of their cherished traditions which demand interpretations of scripture which defy not only the Biblical text but the abundant evidence throughout creation.

Sadly, there was a time in my life when I naively accepted their nonsense----but careful study of both the scriptures and creation itself turned me away from their love for tradition to what God has actually revealed. God is not a liar. He does not fill the universe with evidence for events and processes which never happened.
