• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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 is not science, its a religion

Badfiah, since I know you won't take the time to read the book, I'd like to share with you one of my favorite passages. This is from a part of the book in which Paine is showing--using the text of the Bible alone--that the supposed authors could not have been the actual authors, and thus, the Bible is without merit:


Keep in mind that this was ONE example of why Moses could not have been the author of the books that are attributed to him. One example out of many. So, which is it, Badfish, in this fallacy-free book of yours? Was Moses the author, and thus a liar, or was he not the author?

Badfish, I am not refuting God but bad science used to promote God.

Bad science is a lie, and a lie should never be used to help bolster God, for it will be shown to be a lie and make those who put it forth look bad and thus God look bad.

I just did, all possibilities fit one of these catagories

No you didn't prove anything. You listed the three, but offered no proof or explaination as to why they cover every possible event.

In your opinion, either "man," "universe," or "creator" created the universe. What about "martians," "rabbits," "kittens," "chaos," etc? I'm looking for a discussion as to why those three choices fully partitian the realm of possibilities. Just because you can only think of three, does not mean that you have considered everything.

keep in mind that #2 still gives an out for evolutionists, as it is a theoretical posibility that the Universe created itself, whether by matter/ anti matter collision, or drwn from another Universe, or any combo.

Actually, evolution fits with all three you have presented, since (biological) evolution does not deal with the origin of the universe, only the origin of the diversity of life.


My assertion is that the Universe was created by some intelligent being, it is mathematically more probable, and mathematicians always trust the math.

You haven't even shown it is more mathematically probable. Since, even if those were the only three possibilities, they don't each have to be equally probable. For instance number two could have a 60% chance of being true, and thus the universe not being the product of intelligent creation would be more probable mathematically.

Your agument needs considerable work.

I gotta go to bed, thanks for the chat Rufus and Hazy, have great night! Thanks for the links and thoughts, I do listen and am a free thinker, so don't label me a closeminded Christian.
See ya's tommorrow,

I haven't done that Lewis.

How do you witness, as a Christian. I haven't seen you witness, only refute those that TRY to make a case for God, if you can make a better one I will read about it tommorrow, goodnight and God Bless all!

Hazy, your post is duly noted and I will check into this. Goodnight.

Very witty, why the useless reference to GTX? And why go back and edit after I post?

A Christian wouldn't put down a brother by using a useless reference to my non staff alias?

Christian huh? Your style and unchristianlike quips have hypocrite written all over it.

Hello, I am also GTX, big deal, get over it, move on, don't disrupt topics with useless inanities.

There is no science to promote God. I just said it can be deduced to creation by math.

I don't know about a GTX fiasco from last night. I'm sorry if the timing was off.

I didn't that you were hiding that you were GTX, nor even that you really were GTX. But how many creationist christians, from CF, do you know of who appeal that they are freethinkers?

You can do it yourself, make a list of all known possibilities of the creation or appearance of the Universe, carefully put them all in one of the 3 catagories.

But where is the mathematical proof, that those are the only three possible categories? Just because we can't think of one that doesn't fit, does not mean there isn't one conceivable.

Wait I can think of one.

Three headed pink rabbits from Mars created the universe a half eternity ago with the aid of the divine river.
