• 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.

I'm sure you do think that. But since you're unable to give any reason for your belief, I don't see why you expect anyone else to care about it?

If I don't have reasons on anything, I will not have faith on it. Even creationism can not be proven by sciences, I do have many scientific reasons to support it. As long as my reasons are not shaken, I really don't care if you accept it or not. I am not arguing on your faith, but on your science. If I could sit in your Sunday School class, I will certainly try to make your class stall.

You have outdone yourself Juv.

You do know this argument is not a valid one.
Juvenissun, if I make an argument, I think it's a valid one. If you think it isn't, make a counterargument.

Physics and chemistry are different from geology and biology. I am sure you know that. You are comparing apple with ... may be a peanut.
So what? Do you have a point here? Common descent makes predictions: it tells you what you're going to see before you see it. Chemistry and physics make prediction too; they also tell you what you're going to see before you see it. If you think there's some fundamental difference between them, some fundamental reason why the predictions of common descent shouldn't count as evidence, you'll have to come out and say what it is. So far you haven't.

No, you're not arguing with my science. You're trying to suggest that my science is wrong, without committing yourself to making any actual, verifiable claims.

In which case one of the pastors would have a nice, gentle chat with you. You're free to disagree, but you're not free to deliberately disrupt a class. They give me the microphone for a reason.
