• 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.

  • 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.

Exciting new book

My thesis supervisor just published a new book concerning transitions in vertebrate evolution:

http://www.iupress.indiana.edu/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=41508

It explores the evolution of major clades of vertebrates, including the first tetrapods, amniotes, amphibians, snakes, birds, whales, and mammals. The evolution of skeletal tissues, and the mechanics behind such change is also discussed. I've only seen some of the galley proofs, but this book will certainly be a must-read for anyone with an interest in vertebrate evolution. Just note that the writing is rather technical.
