• 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.

Well then, there it is. There is no way one can give justice to, or do serious study of anything, let alone the complex nature of evolution, with a mere 2 minutes here, 6 minutes there, while multi-tasking at the same time. Until/unless you are able to set aside and dedicate a certain amount of time per day or week, exclusively to the study of evolution, all you will have is vague, fleeting snippits of thoughts on the subject. And then, to enter serious discussion, with people who have spent their entire lives on the subject, micro-biologists, archaeologists, geologists, paleantologists, zoologists and others, seems like a childish prank, and is hardly taken seriously.

Yes, I have Faith of a child. And I know of no one here I've been speaking with who are any -ogists. I guess curiousity isn't worth the effort. Sorry, no more talks about evolution as again, it takes a genius to understand.
And you think this is serious!?!? LOL!! Curiousity, not devotion.
Thanks :clap:

(btw as a child, I sure do bring up some interesting threads hence the 140-200 replies nearly EVERY time.) You guys are all following the questioning of a child! You got it dude! Way to read right down to the bottom of me. How ridiculous.

I like you, unworthyone. I like your wide-eyed approach to life, your honesty about things unclear to you, and your willingness to learn. These are good traits in a person. Don't ever lose them. ;)

Thank you. :cool:

Why does everything have to be so serious all the time? Where is the fun in life? That's why I don't like the elitists attitudes. I'm a moron, now please help me understand. Just because I don't know doesn't mean you shouldn't talk to me. It just means you know more about evolution then I do. Big freaking deal!

Whoa, unworthyone. Let's calm down a little and take a deep breath. No one is calling you a moron. My last post complemented you. Let's just leave it at that, okay? :)

ok Bear, another question. From a believer's point of view, what does your faith tell you about the theory of evolution?

From a believer's point of view, I believe in, and the Bible validates, that God created the universe, and all living things.

What about it?

I know that you understand evolution thoroughly, but what did God tell your faith, your heart, your soul about evolution.

Convince me of what you believe about evolution. Convince me just like the way God convinced you. Understanding evolution from logic & theory is one thing. But understanding it from a believer's point of view is another.

If you believe that God and evolution can co-exist, then someway, somehow, God convinced you of that, right?

I guess what I'm asking is, tell me how God convinced you to believe in evolution?

Evolution is our reality; it doesn't need a divine mandate anymore than the changing of the seasons.

Reality? What reality is millions of years of theories? You might see 4:

??? = 4

But you don't know if it's:

2 * 2 = 4
2 + 2 = 4
1 + 3 = 4
2 * 8 / 4 = 4
4 - 4 + 4 = 4

Evolution is having the result and try to make the best[/]guess what really happened. Well, I give you a result of 4, now try to guess which formula I have for this result.
