• 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.

  • 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.

IF you only knew that you set yourself up. I live in the civilized world. It would appear that you live in an uncivilized world.
Basing the age of the Earth on human social centered developments sure isn't the way I'd go.

I have a few tons of rocks.

That is the way the Bible goes. So much so that there people who believe NOTHING existed before Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden 6,000 years ago. Of course we know that there nothing does not exist, but that gets lost as a pun. We can say that in regard to the known universe. We do not know outside of our universe if there is something or nothing but there is a lOT of speculation as to what there is.

Meanwhile, back on topic: would anyone who accepts micro-evolution, but denies macro-evolution like to tell me what are the disitinguishing features of the two - not in terms of consequences, but in terms of proposed mechanisms?

After I saw the YEC creationists claim that Tyrannosaurus ate melons before the fall or that spiders ate fallen leaves, I do not think they are thinking things through.

Its just a bunch of nonsensical statements, similar to the Flat Earth views.

We tend to think the finite is very small and the infinite is very big. So it all goes beyond our ability to be able to perceive or understand. Perhaps in the macro, microm, yec oec, people are limited in what they can see or comprehend. An infinite God is greater than the ability of finite people to be able to understand. I wonder about the animals and how much do they really know. Perhaps more than we think they do. Sometimes they fight a lot and sometimes they all get along. When they are not trying to eat each other. Pretty much the same as us.

The world we live in is only 5995 years old. The year begins at the Fall Equinox. At first that was in Oct but now it is in Nov.
The Fall (or autumnal) Equinox is on September 22 or 23, not in November.

Nothing is impossible for God. Everything is relative. Adam and Eve DID live 6,000 years ago. Noah was a real person with a real ark and real animals all of that is true if you want to deny it or not. It is intellectual dishonesty to deny that the Bible is true. There was 4,000 years from when Eve transgressed to when Mary birthed Jesus into the world to pay the price for her sin. Mary really was the "seed" of Eve. All of that is true.
Where is your evidence?
