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.
Faith.

how so? You don't think intelligence can be created out of random, so how do you think intelligence is formed?

IF it is a fact that only facts can be demonstrable and independently verifiable, this is not a fact unless you can demonstrate it and independently verify it.

Explain to me how this relates to facts needing to be demonstrable and independently verifiable.

natural process is random, if no body is designing it, it is all random, they just need to follow laws of physics, but everything else is random. You are just siting there and let nature push those chemicals around.

It is axiomatic that facts need to be demonstrable and independently verifable. I fail to see why this needs explanation.

As a native Chicago witness of the Bulls dynasty, this disturbs me.

only to a certain degree. What we think is demonstrable and verifiable can only be done within certain limits, i.e. in physics we know we can't measure anything accurately (only to a certain degree) because to measure something, you have to hit it with something (a ray etc), that will move the subject you are trying to measure. And when you get into quantum physics, nothing is for certain, just bunch of probabilities.

I've actually hinted at this before, so I'm not sure what you're trying to prove.

How did we attain the truth behind the axiom that a fact need be demonstrable and independently verifiable?
