• 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.

Evolution can never be science.

And we are to believe that you are special and you are able to break this code?

Can you demonstrate your method in how you break this code?

Nothing special about me. Even Atheists receive from God, they just do not honor Him and give Him the Glory for the many benefits they receive. He makes His Sun to shine on the Just and the Unjust. There is no code, just a basic understanding of very basic science. Maybe a bit more deep than most people are interested in exploring. What does common sense say? Should God bless those who honor Him or should He bless those who dishonor Him?

The Kabbalah is a religious concept that has no relation with evolution. The fact that you can create some pattern and then apply meaning to it does not make that meaning inherent in the pattern. Try again.
I do not create the pattern. Science tells us that Atoms are made up of protons and electrons. I just said that for science to work you have to have both evolution and creationism. Just like the Atom needs protons and electrons. When science quits being neutral is when Science quits working and there a lot of worthless science out there that is defunct and does not work.

I guess you would have to demonstrate, that any benefits one receives, come from a God.

Ready, go.

That is more subjective then it is objective. It all depends on what we dedicate to God to bring Him Honor and Glory.

Sometimes I write down what I am thinking about and share my notes with people. This one is a little difficult to explain if people can not figure it out for themselves.

The Gnostics thought they had access to a special knowledge, not available to lesser mortals. That is where the name comes from.
Everything is available to everyone. The Bible says seek and you shall find. I was looking for something and I spent a long time and I could not find it. Then I prayed and I asked God to help me and within minutes I found what I was looking for. When we get to the end of what we are able to do, that is the beginning of what God can do in our lives.

Well, you should first learn about the subject you aim to dismiss before hitting the "Post" button.
TOE is the most scrutinised and peer reviewed scientific theory of all time and has come out unscathed for over a century and a half.
If you believe you can refute TOE then write a paper; have it peer reviewed and go collect your Nobel Prize! Not to mention that you will become the most famous person worldwide.

The significance is that God is always true because He watches over His word to perform it. Man is only true to the degree that he is in agreement with God. You can always count on the word of God no matter what the infidels, skeptics, scoffers or atheists have to say. Because God is always true.

... I was going to take a stab at it but I'll just call it what I see it as: gibberish.

And yet people unfortunately confuse God with the Bible.

If you can not demonstrate objectively, it is meaningless to me.

You can believe what you like though.
What has been proven is that faith in God is beneficial. Just like positive thinking and the power of suggestion is very powerful. God is testable but science does not know how to test for God.
