• 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.

Someone? Well, I'm thinking my oxygen is made by plants, like the ones outside my window, and that plants were around for many years before us oxygen-breathers were. So, we evolved to breathe oxygen because its a good thing(tm).

Building an arguement on the assumption we were created puts the arguement on a shaky foundation at best.Where is your proof that we were created?Foundations must be based on facts,not assumptions.

If we evolved from monkeys, how come monkeys still exist?
Becaus evolution does not mean a species replaces its "parent" species. If the Parent species is successful, as well as the new one, it's likely that both will will exist.
