• 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.

How is it that creationists cannot accept evolution as fact

When they accept other scientific theories such as:
  • Theory of relativity
  • cell theory
  • atomic theory
  • plate tectonic theory
  • germ theory
  • etc.
Evolution is both a scientific theory and fact.

No it is an observation with a wrong conclusion.Because there are creatures which seem to be linked to humanity,does not mean that they are in the way you think.There is no doubt that the earth is very old,and that life had existed here for a long time too,but I am sure that the humans made in God's image,us,do not have a direct link as you seem to assume. It is a common problem with those who are not inpired by the Holy Spirit to see only a part of the puzzle,the material part.I could tell you more ,but I bet you have not read the bible by a good modern interpreter,which is much more deeply layered than you might think.
I myself had only gleaned the surface while I went off to study other
things,and was brought back by the Spirit not the intellect which by itself is very decieving. I asked to be shown the truth,prayed for it,and although I have other knowledge it is meaningless ,even deadly without God's Light in it.Scientists who deny Creation and God are living on the edge of darkness.Most of us live in the Light,which has been given to us whether we 'believe' or not [or rather ignore it or not],but when it is withdrawn you will realise that all your facts are 'dead'. It is this which is the ultimate 'sin',thinking that God is not in his Creation,in the material ,as well as the spiritual.Go to a place, or look on a face ,where God has been rejected ,and there you see the ultimate nightmare.As the world becomes more and more 'secular' it dies.It always has in the past and is doing so now.Only those who let down the 'blinkers of the heart /mind will continue.:idea::D
Ps a good book to read as a start is '' The Jesus I never Knew'', by phillip yancey .
