  • 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're on the same page here on everything except your first sentence.

can one type of animal totally change to another. What dna has been mutated to a totally different species?

Evolution doesn't work that way. It's not an overnight process: a dog doesn't one day pop out a cat or vice versa. Evolution also isn't something that occurs to an individual. It happens to a population.

Evolution doesn't propose that modern species spontaneously become another modern species. Chimpanzees don't all of a sudden become humans. Rather, in the past (modern estimates put it at 6-7 million years ago), the population that would eventually become chimpanzees diverged from the population that down the line become modern humans (among other extinct species).

I don't blame you for the way you are but you might want to look elsewhere for your guidance in the future because the people around you are not doing you any good at all, it's time you started looking out for yourself.

can one species of animal cross breed with another?

Not successfully. Species can only successfully breed with other members of their species. That is the definition of species. When two creatures can no longer successfully breed (that is, produce fertile offspring), they are no longer the same species.

Pretty much.

Where does it originate from?

Social bonds becoming stronger as humanity evolved. The stronger your attachment to someone was, the less likely you are to let a smilodon eat them, especially if they were carrying your young.

Okay, where does compassion come from, forgiveness?? Morals?Laws , marriage? From a group sitting in a circle?

Altruistic reciprocity. aka I'll watch your back, you watch mine. It was important to look out for each other in order for people groups to survive.

Think Maflower Compact.

Don't ask other people about it, think about it yourself, use a little common sense, you live in a community, what works best for the community?

If evolution is correct why are we made so different. If we all started from the same thing would't we all be the same, same dna, think the same. When and how do we become different with our own dna?

No, that's coming from an athiestic, worldly point of view. Compassion comes from God. I'm talking about loving a brother when he does not love you in return. I'm talking about forgiveing when they don't deserve it.

Compassion comes from the human ability to empathize, to put ourselves in other people's shoes. We treat others how we want to be treated. I don't see how this requires a deity. Care to explain?

If evolution is true then we should all be different. Mutations occur in every generation so that no generation is identical to the last. Sexual reproduction mixes these mutations even further. If evolution is true only identical twins (i.e. clones) should be genetically identical.

But we will never change species right. We will always be what we are right now. Human. When did an ape change from being an ape to being human? Also if we have the same ancestory can an ape carry a human child and vice versa?
