• 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 to choose between creation and evolution.

What I have objective evidence of, is that it takes a human thinking mind for them (and you) to describe their perceptions of me .. (and my mind, in order to describe my perceptions of them). Thinking that they exist independently (eg: as 'fans') from any of those minds, is just a belief.

Man is made up of body, soul, and spirit.

The spirit is fed by the word of God and grows in faith.

Roman 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

What you call a "religious a priori belief" is, in fact, the Holy Spirit enlightening her.
Thank you for confirming that the post of Cofee4u was misleading.

I also don't have the time (college, post graduate education, fellowships, field work, etc. would be necessary), or the money needed.
Actually not. There is plenty of study material available for free on the internet. From college level textbooks in PDF over youtube series "Evolution made easy". There are seminars available and lectures.
Yes, that requires time, but no money.
