  • 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

To be more precise, religion rarely even admits that it is in error.

And it's usually a little slow on the uptake -- it took the Catholic Church about 350 years to admit that they might have overreacted on the whole Galileo thing.

Exactly what I mean. I can't think of another time when religion has said that it was wrong.

I am talking about the Bible, not religion. No one has been found to be qualified for that job for almost 2,000 years. People have been searching for error in the Bible for 3700 years and no one has found any error. Copy errors perhaps, but not original error from the original authors. There could also be translation issues. The Bible, the Word of God is backed up with all the authority of God. He watches over His word to perform it and to do what HE says He is going to do.

So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.



*sigh*.... Ok, lets start from the beginning.

Rather than going through the whole thing, I'll make it easy... Please find something in the book of Genesis that is scientifically supported.

The creation myth is wrong, the origin of life is wrong, Noah's Flood is wrong, the tower of babel (diversity of language) is wrong. etc...

None, absolutely none. I have studied this for years and years.


You've studied The Bible, or science for years and years?

You couldn't possibly have studied both, or you'd be completely aware they don't line up.
