  • 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.

Number one, it is easy to make a book coherent when you can A)read what the authors before you wrote, and B)pick what books go into it.

Number two, the bible hardly has one single theme. The early books have rules for a jewish nation and a vengeful god, the later books are the rules for salvation and a loving god.

Number three, the bible is hardly free from contradiction. Here's and easy one for you - has man seen god? Because the bible gives two different answers to this question.

Man has not seen the TRINITY in its enterity. Man has seen Christ (both pre and post incarnate). No one has seen the Father. Those that have seen Christ have seen the Father. Jesus is God in the flesh the Son of GOD and Son of Man. So man has not seen GOD (the 3 in one together); however, man has seen one person of the Trinity. One essence in three persons together, no man has seen...

That site is debunking creationist arguments. The sentence in question comes from Hovind, not a scientific journal. The author of the webpage is asking for sources to the claim, not providing them. In other words, the claim is unsubstantiated.

Right below that is another gem from Hovind:

Our blood antigen "A" is most similar to, not the chimpanzee, but the butterbean.

It doesn't take even a grade school education to know butterbeans don't have blood.

Butterbeans must contain antigen "A"...

Great, then answer me this LittleNipper...

James 2:22

You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by the works.

Notice that it says faith was completed by the works. I guess works really are necessary to have a functioning faith. This verse disproves Protestanism entirely. (Which is why Luther tried to get it thrown out of the Bible, incidentally.)

This thread has just convinced me to take down my YEC label in my profile, congrats Nipper, I don't want to be associate with these sorts of "points."

I'll do that as soon as a stop crying from laughter.

Do you now admit that humans have been proven to be related to Orangutangs, since that picture shows one with a beard? Hey, it's your logic that requires this conclusion.

You need to do your own research in order to be a YEC. You can not depend on the considerations of others. Just as my salvation will not save you...

What the ...? Firstly, the largest religion in the world is uncommon according to you? Second, commoness defines a religion? Therefore belief in gravity is a religion? Belief in air is a religion? I can't make heads or tails of what you've posted here. It makes no sense at all.

Roman Catholicism is a religion. Methodist is a religion. Baptist is a religion.
Only a person who knows he is saved forever and always through the death, burial, and resurrection of the LORD JESUS CHRIST by the Grace of GOD is a true Child of GOD. That percentage is small indeed...

Interesting...I guess according to your man-made formula for salvation, St Paul was not saved either...

"I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me. Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then every man will receive his commendation from God." - 1 Corinthians 4:4-5

And I guess that for a small fee we can all join this exclusive club that you, and a select few (who interpret the bible the same way you do) belong to.

Wake up chief, you're part of a religion, no matter how much you try to twist it.

No, actually Roman Catholocism, Methodists, Baptists - they're all denominations of the same religion - Christianity.

Well according to the logic of evolutionists, this species of ape should be the closest relative to humans. Can they demonstrate this? If they cannot then there is a problem... Evolution should move along collecting dominate traits. If beard growth among human males is a dominate trait, it should be a prominate trait among our closest relative... If this breed is not as close as another without the dominate trait, then evolutionists have a problem...

I'm impressed. According to my logic-o-meter, you're now making about as much sense as a random word generator.

In that spirit, here's my rebuttal of the above:
