• 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.

thought up by scientist, so their absurd spinning ball of water would be believed.

science and religion are partially right, neither is totally right


hence any extreme view is misguided


which can be seen, at least partially, by either side

There's a lot of droll posts out of Emmet
And I can't see a way we can stem it.
His words seem so vague,
Just as nice as the plague,
It's the price that we pay when we slum it.
Thank goodness one of the motivations for the creation of this subforum is to isolate the rest of the site from lousy poetry.

I never speak about religion in general unless that is the topic of discussion. My frame of reference is always the God of the Bible and what is stated in the Bible. And if it is about creation, that is usually contrast against sciences created version.

Unless i am discussing Bible passages against the metaphorical view of the Bible, which then it is basically Bible only.

you could say Bible is one side, science is the other


with the same logic, neither is correct, both are correct


each is partially correct……

To the one, we are an odor of death and demise; to the other, a fragrance that brings life.

only on an assumed spinning ball do you need pulling down.

If Newton's first law applies...
and if there is no force pulling down...
then objects should travel in straight lines after they leave a ramp. (Apart from a little air resistance that would slowly retard their motion until they hung motionless among the clouds.)

we still don't know what is causing gravity


nor is it necessary to know

Spacetime curvature induced by the presence of masses and energy. It's been around for a century.
