• 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.

"No, but it makes it easier to swallow. If I remember my childhood correctly, church was pretty much exactly the same, week in, week out, year in, year out.

The instructions for brainwashing are the same as hairwashing: rinse, lather, and repeat.

Funny, I would have said the same thing about public school and evoultionary theory. I remember questioning it and seeing my biology teacher (AP) fly off the handle and tell me I was a fanatic for saying, "maybe its wrong, shouldn't we make sure its right by looking at all the facts not just certain ones." Very enlightening. Started me on the path where I found the theory to be wrong :)

I strongly suspect this is because you were never schooled. But please, feel free to disprove my suspicion.

If you want us to take your anecdote seriously, please provide some support. Otherwise, it's just as credible as your supposed Chemistry degree which doesn't require you to know about radioactivity or timing.

Funny, how you're still bitter after all this time......

Funny, how you completely avoid making a useful statement and instead make a bizarre accusation.

Please do so. I would be very relieved if you were correct about at least one assertion you've made.

Newton would have "rolled over in his crypt" at the comment you have made.First look at theory,is it worthy of thought,test it'what are the results or implications

Evidence 3: Vestigial structures in animals

Just as evolution can, over time, create new structures in animals, it can also eliminate structures that are no longer necessary. For example, the fossil record shows that whales evolved from mammals that returned to an aquatic lifestyle. However, the whale still grows "legs" in a way, but they are stunted and remained internal in the animals. Snakes are the same way. Both snakes and whales have vestigial pelvises, which cannot be easily explained without the idea that the animals evolved from ancestors that had legs.

Prediction: no species will have a vestigial structure that was not present in its ancestral species

Falsification: since birds (and feathers) evolved on a separate ancestral line than mammals, finding vestigial feathers on a mammal would falsify common descent. We should never find any invertebrates with vestigial backbones, and we should never find reptiles or birds with vestigial mammary glands. We do, however, find vestigial structures in many types of animals, but none that would falsify evolution.


This is one of the most ridiculous holes in the theory of evolution.

1st Off:There is 0% PROOF that any of this occured.

2nd: It is LOSING and not ganing which is the opposite of evolution!

In Christ,

Somethings very wrong with the gap theory but one stands out above the others.Adams sin is what brought death into the world,before Adam sinned there was no death.also God said he made the heavens and the earth in the beginning,which was the same time he made adam and eve only 6 days later.

Well IMO i don't care what the so called god from the bible says, there is no evidence of a god. See a planet takes billions of years to be formed. Look at the planet Venus. A lot of people believe that Venus is how the eath was when it was a few billion years ago.
