• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Just that even "science" believes in the supernatural.
It does not. Science only accepts things for which there is sufficient evidence.

These days, science can fully explain almost all of those things, but there remain some exceptions. The singularities at the centre of black holes are a famous example. This doesn't mean that these singularities are somehow outside of nature, or somehow contradictory of the natural order. They're just something we haven't yet fully worked out. Given the accelerating pace of our discoveries and advancements in understanding, it won't be long until we do.

That video was terrible. "I'M THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD WHO PREDICTED THIS!!1!" He clearly doesn't know a thing about astronomy. I hope this kind of video is not where you get your information on science.

Regardless of the terrible video, do you deny that the paths of the stars in my GIFs show they are orbiting something very massive and dense, but which is not visible to us?
He referring to a paper and he did predict they would find nothing. Now if he the only one I seriously doubt it since there are others who thinks black holes are nonsense.

Is there stuff in space we don't know anything about. Of course but I don't believe the universe revolves around our intellect.

I see.

So, do you deny that the paths of the stars in my GIFs show they are orbiting something very massive and dense, but which is not visible to us?

Science is a field of study. As such, it cannot "believe" things. Its up to the humans who do the science to also choose to believe things such as the supernatural.

if moon is round the only scientific way i could find to explain why moon would be gravity:
the forces of gravity are pulling all the matter to the center of the moon evenly which cause a sphere. if that is why moon is spherical it means there is no chance the earth is flat. unless, you know, magic.

I don't know about the moon, but obviously the Earth cannot be flat. If it was that would mean the elephant it sits upon has a flat back, and we all know the back of an elephant is curved. Quod erat demonstrandum.

But wouldn't this mean that the Earth is trunk shaped, rather than spherical or pear-shaped?

Gravity is indeed the reason the moon is round. The gravity of the moon is sufficient to overcome the resistance of solid rock and force it into a spherical shape.
