  • 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.

I know very well that I'm new here but I have a question though.

Why start a thread or post in the "Creation Science" forum in the first place when it winds up here anyway? Seems a bit unneccessary to me altough I posted there before noticing. I could be wrong but I see no point.
What's it for?

Please explain. :help:

Hello Beowulf, :)

Suppose you are a creationist who has a question for other creationists.

You post it, asking for the creationist answer to it.
As well as creationist posts, a number of theistic evolutionists reply, knocking the whole theory rather than giving the answer you seek.

It has in the past led to much irritation and distress, on both sides of the debate.

We asked Erwin for the creation sub-forum, to enable us to ask a specific question of a specific group with similar views.

Now the evolutionists can only post "fellowship" posts and not "debate" on the creationist area, and likewise they have their "home" too where we must return the favour.

We can all get together freely for debate on the main "origins" forum if we want to hear the other side of the debate.

Hope this helps you understand why this has been arrabged.

God bless, Susana
