• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

You mean like the moon being "a lesser light"? In the real world, the moon produces no light of it's own, and is in fact, completely out of the suns reflection several days a month.
Irellevant. No one said the moon glowew of itself. In fact it is an illustration of how we reflect God's light.

Well, no one with a first grade education, anyway. Unfortunately for you, bible says otherwise.

How nice. Terrible hermeneutics, but nice.

The moon gives off proprietary light.

The moon gives absolutely zero light. Sorry, but your hermeneutics and understanding of science are only slightly better.

The theory of evolution would have to conflict with the Bible to some degree, because it keeps changing. At least parts of the theory have already been falsified and shown not to be true. The Bible is the absolute truth of God, it is eternal and it does not change.

That is a half truth (or less) if ever I heard one. Like every other scientific theory, the theory of evolution is modified as necessary when new evidence demands it.

You make a great point, however, JohnR7 hasn't posted here in years.

"Christianity and science are opposed...but only in the same sense as that which my thumb and forefinger are opposed - and between them I can grasp everything." ~Sir William Bragg, Nobel Prize for Physics (1915)
