• 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.

If AIG is right and evolution is really "de-evolution" (that is, traits are lost, but never gained), does this mean everything will eventually evolve into single-celled organisms?

LOL!!  If evolution happens the way creationists say, then yes, that would be the logical conclusion.

However, since that is the logical conclusion from the premises, creationists use that to say that deity interferes and provides the complexity to keep this from happening.

But the premises are flawed and therefore the entire argument is GIGO -- garbage in, garbage out.

Hehe I like that "GIGO -- garbage in, garbage out" do you mind if I use it sometime?
