  • 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

Not angry, just passing on information. What did you read that came off as angry?

Ah! So you are a teenager!

Maybe you're not angry, but you are kind of angsty. When I was a teenager, there were angsty atheists who were rebelling against their Christian parents and there were angsty Christians who loved picking fights with those angsty atheists. Angst everywhere. Angst!

Perhaps. But my God's bigger than me and has everything under control, so when it all boils down, I'm extremely happy.

So is the existence of the Loch Ness monster a belief or a non-belief?

Religion means a set of beliefs, a set of guidelines for one to live by, a lifestyle, perspective, attitude, towards things. Religion means one's lifestyle. We all have it but some people try their best to rid themselves from such a label because they want to be associated with other people.

Most people use the term religion in it's strictest definition to only mean a belief into supernatural things of some sorts. Yet, a belief in the unprovable unseen world is only one side of the coin: the other side is a pledge to the seeable & provable world of science, technology, & things like that.

And the irony that you used a simple keyboard to transmit your message about the absurdity of science around the globe (in an instant!) is duly noted.

God allowed science. He allows His folks to use it. Knowledge that is good comes from above. So called science, that is, where 'science' is used to claim godless alternatives to creation, is NOT science. It is falsely called science.

Darwin didn't make my computer.

He has everything under control. The only question is are we with Him or against Him. Do we go along with the program or do we fight with Him ever step of the way. As we do seem to have free will.

If God has everything under control, and you fight against him, that would mean that God controls your fighting against him.

Michael Jordan doesn't control everything in a basketball game but he is the finisher of the game: his team will win.

Wow - this thread moved fast in a day. Did we finally conclude that evolution was a lie while all the other discoveries of science (germ theory, electromagnetism, aerodynamics, etc...) were ok because they didn't contradict our sacred book?

How come?
The Antichrist will use it after demonstrating abiogenesis ...

Revelation 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

... to get the world's scientists to take the Mark.

Once the world's scientists have the Mark, they will convince the common people to take it -- (science is very convincing).

Again, this is just my opinion.

The Catholic Church teaches deistic evolution. That is, it acknowledges evolution but affirms that God is the originator of the process.

I know an evangelic Christian who is also a biologist. He has been trying to disprove evolution for years, but he tells me the evidence, especially recent developments, is too strong.
