• 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.

From faith to fact.

It never began. You make allegations that you never back up. In order to start a conversation, you need to supply some evidence for your allegations.

I agree to disagree.

Darwinian Evolutionary Theory (despite the scientific understanding of the word) is actually no more than just that, as far as I'm concerned.

You can believe it, that's your choice. I don't believe it, that is my choice.

Have a nice day.

Because Darwinian Evolutionary Theory does not answer all the questions it claims to.

Don't be coy. Why don't you cite a couple of examples?

As I said, both Creationism and Darwinian Evolution require faith.

Repeating an inane thing doesn't make it any less inane.

Why is it so hard for some folks making a claim to use the multi-quote function, find the post where they supposedly addressed the issue and quote it elsewhere? That would take less time and four or five posts reiterating that they "already addressed that".

Because that would deny her the chance to deny she said something or allow her to say that she said something.
It's sometimes called 'wiggle room', being trapped in so many corners make some believers masters at it.

Because Darwinian Evolutionary Theory does not answer all the questions it claims to. If you put your trust in it, there will come a time when you too need to say "I don't know."

Instead, however, you continue to claim that Darwinian Evolutionary Theory provides conclusive answers that are, in fact far from conclusive. And many Evolutionary Scientists have questioned this Theory as well.

As I said, both Creationism and Darwinian Evolution require faith.
But that simply isn't true. As I said before, we accept evolution because there is evidence strong enough to warrant its acceptance. It represents our best understanding of how life on Earth diversified over time, giving us the species we have today. I have never suggested that you should accept evolution on faith, because it doesn't require faith.

For questions on which we are still ignorant, such as the origin of the universe, I have never invoked faith either. Instead, I have said that we should acknowledge the mystery that still surrounds that question and continue inquiring.

Criticize it all you want. It's completely your choice what you do or don't do with the Bible. No one gets to make that choice for you. (Or for anyone else.)
As I said before, that is what 'dogma' tends to imply. You accept the doctrines of your religion as incontrovertibly true, but it appears that you won't allow yourself to honestly question them.
