• 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.

Fossils do not need Evolution to be created.

DNA does not need Evolution to be created.

Phylogenetics does not need Evolution to be created.

Comparitive Anatomy is not a thing.

Adaptation comes close, but it is no guarantee.

Diversity is not a thing.

Speciation is not a guarantee and is also the opposite of adaptation so you will have to pick.

Extinction is extinction and a product of Death, unless you are going back to pre WWII Evolution.

Honestly I wish you had tried to answer the question and not just fired off a bunch of things you hope it might be.

Just to repeat, we are going with the idea that Evolution is a force, so what is it that it "forces" "upon us"?

Honestly, I wish you thought about the subjects in your topics a bit more before posting dozens of them, they are starting to pollute the forum. But we don't always get what we want, do we?

The idea that evolution is a force is wrong.

Fossils do not need Evolution to be created.

Evolution does explain why we see the fossils we do see.

DNA does not need Evolution to be created.

Evolution does explain why the DNA sequences of offspring differ from their ancestors, and why the DNA of separate populations diverge over time.

Phylogenetics does not need Evolution to be created.

We observe that evolution does produce phylogenies.

Comparitive Anatomy is not a thing.

It is an area of study, and also an activity.

Adaptation comes close, but it is no guarantee.

Evolution is adaptation.

Diversity is not a thing.

It most certainly is. Just look at other human beings. Guess what? They have a diversity of characteristics.

Speciation is not a guarantee and is also the opposite of adaptation so you will have to pick.

We observe speciation happening, and it is not the opposite of adaptation.

Extinction is extinction and a product of Death, unless you are going back to pre WWII Evolution.

And?

Honestly I wish you had tried to answer the question and not just fired off a bunch of things you hope it might be.

Perhaps you should try to take your own advice.

Just to repeat, we are going with the idea that Evolution is a force, so what is it that it "forces" "upon us"?

Evolution is not a force.
