  • 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.

Sorry, but you are flat out wrong. Let's take the first one. How is evolution contradicted by thermodynamics? Show us.

I would be shocked if she could even tell you what the laws of thermodynamics are. All that is nothing more than a parroting of something she's been told, not something she understands.

She copied it off of a creation site. Big surprise!

I don't think you guys realize that EVOLUTION is a belief and SCIENCE is science!

Sorry, but we aren't buying what you are selling. Show us why evolution is not science instead of making bare assertion after bare assertion.

MACROEVOLUTION is NOT OBSERVABLE and has NOT shown species changing into COMPLETELY NEW species! It is unscientific and has no grounds for it!

Macroevolution is not the production of completely new species. Macroevolution is descent with modification.

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can be transferred from one form to another. This law confirms that creation is no longer occurring but it also implies that creation occurred at sometime in the past! In today’s world, there is no creation of new matter and energy rising to higher levels of organization and complexity as evolutionists would have you believe.

Because the universe is constantly losing usable energy and never gaining, one can reasonably conclude the universe had a beginning—a moment of least entropy. That is, a time of minimal disorder with a minimal amount of unusable energy—a time when the First Law of Thermodynamics did not apply—a time of creation when systems were rising to higher levels of organized complexity. This is no longer occurring today.

According to Scripture, the moment of least entropy is fully described in Genesis 1. Applied to the whole universe, this is a fundamental contradiction to the “chaos to cosmos, all by itself” nature of evolutionary doctrine.

Scientists don't agree with you. Nor do science funding agencies, scientific journals, national academies of science, scientific professional associations, museums, philosophers of science, historians of science, the Dewey Decimal system, the Library of Congress or any major university in the world. They're all under the impression that evolutionary biology is part of science.

Macroevolution is not the production of completely new species. Macroevolution is descent with modification.
I feel like this point in particular often confuses creationists. The clearest explanation in my opinion is showing a diagram of a tree of life, and explaining shared ancestry, and how descendents will never stop being related.

There's a strange expectation that dogs turn into cats for some reason. Maybe it's that iconic diagram of a chimp turning into a human? I guess all those "fish jumping out of water and spontaneously morphing" videos don't help the confusion either...

Shame on you to disrespect someone, yet again!

First law states that matter and energy can't be created or destroyed, nothing new has been created, only at creation week.

Second law states that energy is decaying or running down to a state of heat death. Usable energy.

Come on, no insults man. At worst, attack the belief, not the believer.

Even if it is, the source is what is in question. Find a secular one that says the same, at the very least.

It is just a reliability issue.

Who cares about the source!! READ the facts listed!!!

I have come across many "sources" that say the same thing.

Just look at the facts, gosh.

You are just full of wonderful things to say, aren't you?

Do you have something useful to say?

Sure, plenty, but if god has a plan for everyone and events like that happen, it means it was in god's plan, does it not?

If you have plenty of secular sources that say the same thing, then post them. A weak source will weaken the evidence it presents, even if it all was true.

It's scientific fact Sarah

No, those are laws. Scientific facts are different from scientific laws.

Shame on you to disrespect someone, yet again!

First law states that matter and energy can't be created or destroyed, nothing new has been created, only at creation week.

Second law states that energy is decaying or running down to a state of heat death. Usable energy.

I'm curious - can you even name the other laws? Did you even know there were others?

They aren't facts, as they state them and their claims are not supported with objective evidence.
