• 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.

I apologize

And I am sick and tired of wblastyns flaming immature remarks, he makes the atheists look good, what a poor witness.
What immature remarks? I was only saying what Dayton did, he showed YEC's are inconsistant in their beliefs, he took the Bible literally, which lead him to the beliefs in geocentric earth, etc and the YEC'seven said he was wrong.

Was it because I said Dayton showed the YEC position to be stupid? I called YEC stupid not you. It's not my fault you can't disconnect yourself from your beliefs and take it so personally.

No one else has ever said anything to me like that? Everyone else - are my remarks immature, sorry if they are :(

In fact I am so sick of wblastyns attacks that if I wasn't a Christian I would cuss him out royally and tell him where to stick it. :)
:rolleyes:

He has nothing to offer but ridiculous uninformed attacks against the Creationist position, that I try to overlook him and deal with the people that really know something about the THEORY of evolution.
I think my remarks are informed considering i used to be a YEC.

The fact that you capatilize the THEORY part suggests you think evolution is "only a theory" which shows a lot about what you actually do know.

I would fellowship with atheists before fellowshipping with this guy, unless he stops his BS and respects people, hes a poor example of a Christian IMO.
You opinion of me means nothing, which I have already said.

Anyway, if you have such a problem with me then just put me on ignore.

If you are not a YEC, to what theory do you subscribe?

Would you care to elucidate, by any chance?
I believe that evolution is God's process of creating all the different forms of life on this planet.

I believe Genesis is not a literal historical event, but rather a poem of Creation which basically says God created everything and it was good, as opposed to the Babylonian gods who created everything to watch it suffer.

that would be, they believe in God and so on, but they believe that God did it through natural laws rather than insertion of a cosmic finger to overcome the problems.


Thank you, Jet Black. You explained that cogently and in an extremely polite manner, too.
While you're at it, why don't you explain the Plan 9 From Outer Space theory? ;)
