  • 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.

Holy Creation REALLY Holy

Reminds me of the 'hyperbolic crocheted coral reef' in New Scientist last week

It's a Calabi-Yau manifold -- really important in String Theory stuffs. But anyway, I was just pointing out the fact that -- it's really quite succintly said in my signature, nearly every argument against modern science there is stems directly from misconception... I can't believe these people think that respected scientists have spent their entire lives on a crusade to hide the 'flaws' in their Big Bang, abiogenesis, and evolutionary theory in order, and in sole purpose, to undermine religious views.
Technically that's a 2D representation (with false depth) of a 3D projection of a Calabi-Yau manifold. Revenge of the nerd. ^^

While I generally agree with evolutionists, I have to point out that many respected scientists have effectively spent their entire lives on crusades to undermine religious views. Furthermore these respected scientists do so (mis)using the tools of the Big Bang, abiogenesis, and evolutionary theory. From the point of view of a Christian, to whom the enemy is not merely flesh and blood (Eph. 6:12) - or at least from the point of view of some Christians - is it not altogether likely that the theories thus used as tools are in fact deeply flawed, and that those respected scientists are desperately hiding those flaws in order to continue their crusade?

Or think of it from their perspective: they can't believe that evolutionists think that respected scientists have spent their entire lives on a crusade to hide the "flaws" in their white hole cosmology, runaway subduction geology, and baraminology, in order to, and solely for the purpose of, promoting religious views.

There is an interesting and deep symmetry to your argument: as much as you think those people are ridiculous, they have a case to think you are ridiculous too. Let's not attack people. Let's examine the facts. That is always the way to go.
