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.

Expanding Mind
Evolution is an accepted fact. The Bible and science (including evolution) do not contradict each other. The evidence for evolution is overwhelming. Natural selection (carried on for millions of years), can produce new "kinds". The fossil records shows the progress of life on earth. Vestigial organs (whale's leg bone, etc.) show that current life was once much different.
I believe that the first few chapters of Genesis are figurative. Teaching that they are strictly literal may actually turn scientists and other educated people away from Christ.

St Augustine wants a word with you:Andrew said:OK sorry, thot you were one of them monkey bizness evolutionists, judging from your post.
i said that cos my pastor said that. so i didnt just talk of my head. so my pastor may be wrong, or the site may be anti-creationist. dosnt matter.
"Often a non-Christian knows something about the earth, the heavens,
and the other parts of the world, about the motions and orbits of
the stars and even their sizes and distances,... and this knowledge
he holds with certainty from reason and experience. It is thus
offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk
nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based
in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such an
embarrassing situation, lest the unbeliever see only ignorance in
the Christian and laugh to scorn."
