• 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.

Exactly. It is so typical. And if that doesn't work you watch, this all will take to ad hominem attacks that will lead to shutting down the thread so that they are free from having to present evidence for their claims.

Notice that you are also shifting the focus away from the complexity, functionality, and purpose of naturally occurring systems that were produced by natural mechanisms.

You haven't provided any evidence for the design we see in the complexity, functionality, and purpose of natural systems being produced by natural processes.
Which is why Dawkins states that you are gullible for accepting the appearance of design.

I'm pretending to not see the face just like others pretend that seeing a face in a cliff or a tree is equivalent to the function and form in systems within systems.
Either way, is that an actual face that is seen in that cliff, or an illusion?

Yep, I ended up erasing it. Didn't think it was worth responding to.

Do you realize that sexual reproduction refutes that argument?

Oh Davian, aren't you so clever.
Patterns are not the equivalent to what we are discussing here and you are trying so hard to make it that simple. Sorry, not in anyway equivalent.Sorry that sounded snarky and it wasn't meant to be.

What evidence? That is what I am waiting for here. He did a great job speculating but no evidence is given for any of it.

Give me the evidence that Dawkins gave for the evolution for the eye for instance.
All Dawkins deals with is the eyeball.

Since you are comparing the helicopter rotor to the bac flag, perhaps you could point to the turbine engine that is running on kerosene within the bac flag.
