• 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.

Do you really think that by using the word "relationship", that you've changed anything? It's still about an omnipotent being, credited with the creation of everything including man, who makes all of the rules and offers rewards for following those rules and punishment for not following them. The word "relationship" changes nothing. Every interaction between one unit/being and another is a relationship.

Yeah... Christianity is not a religion. Right. And I'm the Queen of England.

What crazed lunatic is feeding you all this tripe?

The oddity is that the entire BIBLE comes together as ONE complete piece of literature without contradiction and with one single theme--------the divine gift of salvation.

Its called redaction, look it up. Its not hard for all of the books to fit together if all of the contradictions were fixed.

Apes and humans are two different species. We did not come from them and they didn't come from us.

Apes are not a species at all, but a superfamily more accurately called hominoids, to which we humans do, in fact, belong.

Will you now retract this Nipper now that we have those lovely pictures Notto posted? Do you now accept that humans and primates do share a common ancestor?

I suspect Nipper will hope this thread goes away.

I say we bump it for a while, and occasionally with those pictures again.

I didn't find butterbean info but on http://freespace.virgin.net/karl_and.gnome/donthavetoignore.htm I found this sentence, on this site are links to his sources "In fact, we share 92%- 94% DNA with bacteria" So are you saying bacteria are almost as close to us as a monkey?

You realize that a random Internet site is not necessarily the best source for scientific information, yes?

If you want to know the genetic comparisons for various organisms, your best bet is a published textbook on the subject, or better yet, published scientific research in journals.
