• 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.

Yes it does. It's a warpage in Spacetime.
Explain that. Lol.

See, no matter how far they go, there's always that irritating little kid, who keeps saying, "Why?"

I am a first time poster so please bear with me! I have always been suspicious of the, seemingly, blind assumption that there is a magical force forcing us down to the Earth - surely there is a greater power at play here?

May this be the devil's will trying to bring us to the darkness? God's might keeping us above ground and, ultimately, winning the battle of good and evil.

What do you think?
I think it's a name for an observed phenomena that follows the same principles over and over again. You could call it something else, but it wouldn't change the result.

Okay. Here's a video that explains it very well. It's got animations and everything.

You do not realize the limits of science
You have been unable to demonstrate any limits.
As I said galaxies should fly apart
I suspect that your knowledge of cosmology is insufficient for you to be taken as a valid source on how galaxies should and should not behave.

Many galaxies should fly apart simply due to the speed at which they spin: conventional estimates of their mass indicate that there simply should not be enough of a gravitational pull to hold them together.

I don't know, but this is turning science into a superstitious belief.

You seem unaware of the existence of Dark Matter.

Like I said, your knowledge of cosmology is insufficient.
