  • 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

Jewish scholar, Ben Stien exposes a tendency (on the part of academia) to expel anyone talking about "intelligent design." It seems, Evolution will not tolerate challenge. Numerous case histories of professors that were terminated for this exact reason.

Worth watching as Richard Dawkins, prominent evolutionist, makes this absurd statement to Ben Stien:
BEN STEIN: "What do you think is the possibility that Intelligent Design might turn out to be the answer to some issues in genetics or in evolution?" DAWKINS: "Well, it could come about in the following way. It could be that at some earlier time, somewhere in the universe, a civilization evolved, probably by some kind of Darwinian means, probably to a very high level of technology, and designed a form of life that they seeded onto perhaps this planet. Now, um, now that is a possibility, and an intriguing possibility. And I suppose it's possible that you might find evidence for that if you look at the details of biochemistry, molecular biology, you might find a signature of some sort of designer."


It's interesting to see the final chapter in this debate. Dawkins admits that God did create the earth, but he was wearing a space suit when he did it.

A friend likened this to the Chuck Norris joke, "Chuck built the log home where he was born." Dawkins is a hoot. Who knew he had a sense of humor?
