  • 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 False? Absolute proof inside.

As Cambrian was one of the first sedimentary layers put down during the Flood then of course those other life forms could have avoided being overtaken at an early stage.

Really? Then please explain why there are no terrestrial fossils, plant or animal in any layer of Cambrian strata on the entire earth.

Um, there are numerous fossils in cambrian rocks...

Full quote? Because, with all due respect, I imagine this is a quote mine.

It most likely is. Its a cherry picked set of quotes by a journalist from an interview with nothing else from the interview shared. The article in question was done by the New Scientist and the actual topic was about Horizontal Gene Transfer and how the Tree of Life concept is becoming much thicker and more bush like as a result. Of course it also got picked up, repeated and tweaked even further by the Guardian, the Telegraph and others. Resulting in our friendly neighborhood quote mining creationists taking quotes that are already a bit off in their original context and then using them in even more outrageously false ways.

Of course New Scientist has also earned themselves something of a reputation for sensationalism to sell magazines so its unfortunately not unexpected behavior.

Here, have a scientists view on the whole thing The Death of the Tree of Life is Greatly Exaggerated

Perhaps what happened happens during the early stages of a world wide flood.

You are the one who made the claim and needs to explain why there are no terrestrial fossils in your claimed first layer of the flood.

Exactly Far too many to support evolution as well.

You are obfuscating. There are no land plant fossils or land animal fossils in Cambrian strata. To be the first layer of your flood there would have to be some.

Perhaps they just moved to higher ground and waited for the next sedimentary layer to get caught up in.

Two problems there Tas.

1. Trees, shrubs, plants growing with roots do not climb to higher ground.

2. You said the first layer was Cambrian. If you have a first layer, then there is no place to climb.

Has there been a simulation of the effects of a world wide flood on a pre world wide flood world? If so I suggest you look for your answers there. If not would you like to finance me to do one?

Tas, I am more than familiar with the mechanics of hydrological processes involved in a flood. Hydrological sortation is a result of laminar flow. The strata we see that you claim to be from a flood does not laminar flow. You are just making stuff up and we all know it.

No The Flood is real. I read about it in Genesis
How many world wide floods have you studied?

Fossils and the strata they contained are off topic in this thread? I don't think so chief.

your implications are to rebuff the Bible not creationism, it's the motive.

That is a false accusation. And I will let you know right off, if you are going to get personal I will not hesitate report you. I didn't even bring up the flood. I was making the case that such a flood could not explain the fossil record.

Understand?
