  • 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.

The picture was created by a random, mindless, meaningless, purposeless and directionless process, wasn't it?

Not a bad photo for pixels randomly arranging themselves here and there.

Not that one, but this one was, if that's what you are looking for:



And if you think evolution is "directionless" and "random", you don't know what evolution is.

I'd still have the question of what was providing the impetus.

I asked a simple question that required a yes or no answer. If I put you in a time machine and you witnessed evolution giving rise to humans with your own eyes, would you believe it? Yes or no?

Yes.

If I put you in a time machine and you watched the death, burial, resurrection and ascension of Jesus, would you believe in Him?

(This is a fun game)

Oh, speechless when faced with a random, mindless, meaningless, purposeless and directionless process? My job here is done today. Good night.

LOL. A snowflake is evidence that humans are the product of a random, mindless, meaningless, purposeless and directionless mechanism acting on a single life form from long long ago?

I gotta admire your faith, as misplaced as it is.

No, a snowflake is evidence that random, mindless, meaningless, purposeless and directionless processes can and do produce something complex. And this defeats the center premise in your argument. But I gotta admire your faith, as misplaced as it is.

You're equating a snowflake with a human?

Only in the world of Darwinist creationism.

Ok let's try it for the third time. How do you think teachers in science class should explain the diversity of life?
Just
By presenting facts and not guesses and suppositions.
Sigh Let's try it for the fourth time, What do you think Science teachers should teach in class concerning the causes of diversity of life on Earth? What should be in the lesson plan?

Any facts which identify the cause for the diversity of life on earth should be taught in class. The facts should be supported with evidence.

You are still avoiding the answering but OK. Can you describe a few of the "facts that identify the cause for the diversity of life oh earth? In other words what can we teach our kids that you would approve of.

No, I've answered the question over and over.

Again, teach the facts which are demonstrable and based on observation and experimentation. You know, science.

From Google.....

"sci·ence
ˈsīəns/Submit
noun
the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment."​

One 'fact' that shouldn't be taught is the 'fact' that humanity is the result of only, totally, solely naturalistic mechanisms acting on a single life form from long long ago. There's no evidence for such a creationist worldview.
