• 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.

Yes, just as you ignored my question.

I don't know what question you are talking about, as I said in the post you were replying to.

Fair enough?

No.

Don't feel too bad, I'm ignoring "what?" guy too. Guess I'm just not in the mood for it all today

Then perhaps refrain from posting, until you are in the mood.

That's par.
Sorry.

I'm not here to read big, long Chatty Cathy posts.

For one, it makes me think you've got something to hide.

If you can't make your point or answer a simple question in a sentence or two, then I get suspicious.

If things are complicated, you disregard them?

This news is going to surprise nobody.

I'm not interested in five screens worth of why someone doesn't accept evidence for God.

It's enough just to admit you don't accept it.

Holidays, churches, martyrs mean nothing to atheists and scientists.

As everyone no doubt keeps telling you, those things are evidence for the existence of religions, not for the truth of any particular religion. Nobody is claiming religions don't exist.

Logical fallacies?

Gotta say, some of you are entirely to dependent on that term, as well as a few others. Sorry but is just doesn't cover everything like you think it does.

For instance...it doesn't answer the question.
So what? What if the question is never answered?

Not a single one of them requires the laws of nature to be suspended.

And that has led you to what conclusion? See, with no explanation to where the laws of nature originated, you have very little, so might be a good idea to realize you can't use the laws of nature to explain where the laws of nature came from because at one time there may have been no laws of nature.

Which of the hypotheses for the origin of life requires 'nothing to come out of nowhere'?

Which one doesn't?

Because beliefs that can't be objectively supported, and based on arguments from incredulity should be discarded.

Not the ones I'm talking about.

JOY TO THE WORLD is not evidence for Buddha.

CHRISTMAS and EASTER are not holidays to celebrate Allah.

April 1st is not ... (skip that one).

JESUS IS MY PILOT does not testify of Hinduism.

The SALVATION ARMY was not started to venerate Charles Darwin.

Et cetera.

We're not trying to explain where the laws of nature came from!

We're trying to explain where life came from. If we can do that without having to drastically change the laws of nature, then our explanation is much more likely to be accurate than one which does require such changes.
Which one doesn't?
All of them. Not a single serious hypothesis for the origin of life requires 'nothing to come out of nowhere'. Only one 'explanation' for the origin of life requires complex acids and sugars to magically appear out of nowhere, and that's your explanation.

I enjoy a lot of your posts, some even have a weird logic, and you are certainly consistant, but I'd give this one up if I were you, it makes no sense.

(BTW: 3,478,111 posts - I'm impressed and saddened at the same time.)

Ow, I dunno about that....
- Holidays: an excuse to sleep in and/or party
- Churches: art in architectural form; cultural heritage

I consider both quite meaningfull...

Even some martyr stories, I can appreciate in terms of the romantic / story telling value.

AV, the world isn't as black and white as you seem to think it is.

I thought you were talking about the origins of life?
Not the origins of the laws of nature....


Which one doesn't?

All of them.

For all intents and purposes, as far as you are concerned, I have. But you have to understand you aren't the only poster here.

I'll take that to mean: "I don't wish to continue talking to you, because it hurts my case..."
