  • 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 explains mutation, change, but doesn't explain origins.

Yeah. No one said evolution explained the "origin of life". Evolution explains how life changes. The origin of life is the field of abiogenesis.

Historically speaking, Christians & Jews have contributed to science, medicine, inventions, technology, & discovery since the dawn of time: we don't realize how indebted we really are to them.

And during the Islamic Golden Age, Muslims made some amazing progress in math and science. Doesn't mean Islam is true.

Evolution is like driving in a car.
Ya -- from Boston to L.A., down a road that has maybe one yard of pavement.

The rest is missing, but we're expected to take it on faith that it was there at one time.

But truth be told, evolutionists now describe the beginning of the universe as a 'big expansion,' not a 'big bang.'

But since scientists don't like to change some of their terminology -- (it makes them look bad) -- they still call it the 'Big Bang.'

So we did change our terminology - and then we didn't?

At what point did you think about what you were typing?

(Incidentally, it wasn't the terminology used by supporters of the big bang theory - it was a name coined by its detractors which stuck)

That's why we still have 'flying squirrels,' instead of the more accurate 'gliding squirrels.'

I'm sure even creationists can cope with it.

Not that I know of.

I mean -- I haven't been to cholerage in years, but I still believe it's called the 'Big Bang theory,' is it not?

I think you guys plutoed 'zero gravity' to 'microgravity,' but that made you look efficacious, not mistaken; so that got the green light.
At what point did you think about what you were typing?
Before I typed it?
(Incidentally, it wasn't the terminology used by supporters of the big bang theory - it was a name coined by its detractors which stuck)
How'd it come to stick? did you guys bring the glue?

Oho, you're funny.

I'm not really a cHURRRRRRRRchgoer myself.

but I still believe it's called the 'Big Bang theory,' is it not?

Generally speaking, yes. Technical name is the lambda-CDM standard model.

I think you guys plutoed 'zero gravity' to 'microgravity,' but that made you look efficacious, not mistaken; so that got the green light.

It was never a mistake. Gravity is effectively zero in certain environments.

No need to be so literalist.

Before I typed it?

Apparently not due to that obvious contradiction you made.

How'd it come to stick? did you guys bring the glue?

Sometimes even ignoramuses get lucky.

Where evolving is claimed to extend beyond starting with the created kinds, it is a lie. Yes, evolving happened. It happened to created kinds and all within a YEC time frame. The usual connotation and meaning of 'evolution' goes way beyond this.

No proof exists for Granny Bacteria mother of all living.

Disprove evolution and you get a Nobel Prize. The committee is waiting for your wisdom, if any.

Do you think communicating via a scraped rock medium is science?

The application of a good grade of pigment to the wall of a cave may well have taken years to perfect. In a real world scientific kind of way. Finding a good parchment process was a matter of trial and error much like Thomas Edison's work. :)

Interestingly enough, every single one of the authors above not only agree that evolution did happen, but also that it is the process that gave rise to the human species.

Evolution is like a car but who made the car?
They says we are star stuff, that a lot of the elements that make up people come from a star. Every element burns at a different color. So they can look at the light from a star and see what elements make up that star. The older the star the more complex the elements are that makes up that star. Brian Cox has some videos on youtube that explains this subject.

That explains stars & things, but doesn't explains origins.
