  • 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.

Easy post to oppose the idea that evolution and Christianity go hand in hand.

All to often I run into Christians, some even pastors, that think evolution and Christianity go hand in hand. What I came up with is a paragraph that makes direct points on why Christians should not accept evolution with links to AIG for more indepth information. Let me know what you think and if there would be any improvements I could make to it. I plan on just saving the post in a text file so I can copy paste when ever needed in the future.


I don't have a problem with evolution since it doesn't happen except with varation which doesn't add any new information. That means you'll never get a 1 cell creature to make it's way to a human even given billions of years. Evolution and the Christian God don't go hand in hand. A young earth wasn't really a big issue with Christians until Darwin made the idea popular. Before then most Church fathers believed in a young earth. Genesis clearly shows creation took place in 6 - 24 hour days. Evolution teaches death and suffering before the fall of man, this is wrong. Evolution has a totally different creation order then that of the Bible. Evolution doesn't hold up to science we observe and in fact requires faith to believe that it really happened. Why Christians would accept a bad idea like evolution when God clearly tells us how it happens is beyond me.

thanks for all the links, that helped out a lot
My pleasure. This forum should be used as a resource for Creationists to become better equipped to share the truth with others. Also I hope that evolution believing lurkers will also read what we talk about and that the Holy Spirit will work in their hearts on this important issue. The arguement with the church fathers is one I would like to see Creationists use more when talking to evolution believing Christians. Even though Church fathers are fallible it still is important to understand what they believed.
