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.

They consider any change to be evidence for evolution. The world is filled with change. Lot of people change their underware at least once a day. Is that evolution?

That's not evolution. Read up on the definition and write again with that in mind.

I've given it some thought and in a nutshell as yousow so shall you reap.

The spirit branches ous to all creaiton (multiverse) seen and unseen. Instantaneously. Ehat you experience is feedback, higher dimensional, instantaneous. Conventional linear evolution is temporal and therefore too cumbersome a branch of "religion".

My advice: if in doubt change universe, if in danger do good.

Click to expand...
I agree with 95% of the conclusions of science.

For example, I agree with science that the earth is 4.57 billion years old; but not for the same reason.

Of course, I have to agree with how it got that old, or that's not good enough.

I have to agree it grew that old, and I won't do that.

Maybe the earth has been around the sun 4.57 billion times.
But at one time a year was a lot shorter then a year is now.

No reason to argue with science. They are convinced they know what they are talking about. Even though there is overwhelming evidence that they do not have a clue. Even they admit they only know three or four percent of all there is to know.

If I did my math right, that means that each year was 0.00008 what it is now.

And if I do my angular momentum correctly, that means the earth, if it was in the same orbital path then as it is today, would have had to be 80,000 times the diameter it is today.

(I think.)

Not necessarily, but in the case I mentioned it's good to see young earthers being educated by believers with a more adult understanding of their religion. It's more likely to get through to those of them who aren't hopelessly lost.

I can't remember right offhand, but I think I got moderated once for telling my brothers and sisters in Christ what I thought of their 'adult understanding.'

And we'll just leave it at that --

Nothing more?

Why, I would agree with your description. Evolution is not always efficient. It is not intuitive. It has to work with what was there previously. That can make it convoluted and unnecessarily complicated.

But, like these funny machinations... it works.

So you are, for once, correct.

But "nothing more"? Tsk tsk tsk.
