  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

There is no evidence of evolution, there have been lies like the Piltdown man etc.

What is the proof of chemical evolution?
Did you even look at the site I linked to?

Oh, and there is no such thing as "chemical evolution."

Well when you know God, it becomes a different story. It's not longer a bad idea.
No, it still is a bad idea. It makes you more susceptible to accepting other things without proof, no matter how disgusting/bad/wrong those things are.

You would have to prove how it would make someone more susceptible to accepting other things before you just make the statement. I said know God. I didn't say think He exists or something.

What about all of the wars that have been started in the name of Christianity? Obviously, the Christians that started those wars were easily convinced that whoever they were fighting against was evil.

Also, how can you "know" an invisible being? That makes no sense at all.

Are they biblical? Which ones?

Saying, "I'm a Christian" doesn't make you one. Just look around America for the reality of that.

I don't expect it to make sense to you.

Anyway you haven't proven that it makes anyone more prone to believing things that aren't true.

You're trying to use the "No True Scotsman" fallacy on me? Really?

And if it doesn't make sense to me, how can it make sense to you?

Um no. I'm using the bible on you. Nice try though.

Is that like an insult or something? How can I have something you don't have? You should be able to answer this one on your own.

Do you even know what the "No True Scotsman" fallacy is? It seems like you don't.

More attacks without any substance. I said my view was with scripture. Let's leave it at that.
How is that an attack? It honestly seems like you don't know what the "No True Scotsman" fallacy is. And my point does have substance, since you committed that logical fallacy a few posts ago.

Lol ok. You just don't get it. I said that it doesn't work here. I'm using scripture against you and then you argue by saying I don't know what it is.

And my point does have substance, since you committed that logical fallacy a few posts ago.
Proof?
