  • 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

Not at all --- from Someone Who stopped its rotation, and even later, reversed its rotation?

AV; what you are saying is fine in the context of magical mysticism, because it allows anything that you can imagine to be true.

However in the context of science it is nothing but bull excrement.

We know how solar systems form by observing many at different points in their life cycles, i.e. the same way we know acorns grow into 200 foot high oak trees.

Mars was Earth like for a longer period of time

showImage.aspx


(NASA and the Hubble Heritage Team) :: According to many studies, runoff from precipitation ceased by the end of the Noachian Epoch, which spanned the first billion years of Martian history. But after studying HiRISE images of light-toned layered deposits on the plains surrounding Valles Marineris, Weitz and her co-authors concluded that equatorial regions may have remained wet for a much longer period.

Though scientists have yet to find alien life on distant exoplanets, much about those planets certainly seems alien — especially the weather.
Now researchers have developed a model that can explain some of the bizarre weather patterns seen on other worlds.
Because many exoplanets orbit so close in to their stars, scientists think they are often "tidally locked," or trapped in position with one side permanently facing the star's light and the other side in perpetual nighttime. Somehow, heat gets transported from the daytime to the nighttime side of the planets, though how this happens has not been understood.
The researchers found that fast-moving jet streams could carry warm air from the sunny side to the dark side of a planet. To account for the temperatures measured on planets such as HD 189733b, these streams would have to be speeding along at 7,000 mph (11,000 kph).

*Can you imagine something moving at 11000 km/h? Me neither. Thus, the speed is impossible, and the theory falls flat on its face.


I took the liberty of bolding everything attesting to the crappiness of science. it is nothing but guesswork and pathetic speculation !!! Work on that. Your myth holds no water.

I was going to answer that, but I do believe you are being ironic.

Exactly, with nothing to revolve around you have some explaining to how it got to revolve around the sun and on its axis. Let me guess, <insert miracle here> moment?

Well, a little nudge could have set it in motion, I'm sure.

A nudge from what, where, how, when, by what forces? specifics, details we need if we are to objectify this claim of 'a little nudge'.

Absolutely not --- science says otherwise, and the Bible doesn't disagree.

But the Bible is pretty clear on geoprominence, isn't it? If we're to believe that the Earth is the most important object in God's infinite creation, why isn't it clearly centralized?

After all, science shows us that the Earth is a small pebble of a planet in the boondocks of one arm of one of several billion galaxies -- doesn't sound all that special to me.

WOW --- I aughta rep you for that one!

God put it right where it belongs.

If the earth was at the center of the universe, the constellations would be different --- and we're not gonna go there, are we?

God put it right where it belongs.

By right where it belongs, do you mean in a galaxy headed for a one way collision with its larger andromeda galaxy? Some lazy and neglectful design there.

If the earth was at the center of the universe, the constellations would be different --- and we're not gonna go there, are we?

What the heck would that matter? After all if God can do it this way or hypothetically any possible way and make the constellations appear as they do now regardless of Earths location, what difference would it make in the abstract? This is a circular reasoning. In the end you'd still be up on your pedestal bemoaning the perfection of it all.

Perhaps you ought to -- but you won't.

God put it right where it belongs. If the earth was at the center of the universe, the constellations would be different --- and we're not gonna go there, are we?

And had God put the Earth at the center of the universe, how difficult would it have been for Him to move a few stars around accordingly?

Besides, the constellations are different -- different from what they were at the time of the Bible, anyway.

LOL --- God makes it clear how the earth is going to end, and believe me, Andromeda is not going to do it. You can file this under SCARE TACTICS --- along with everything else from Asteroid Collisions to Y2K.

I'll just assume He didn't check with you first, before He placed the rest of the universe around the earth.
