  • 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.

Data never changes. You may add more data, even more accurate data, but the old data is still data. So, in reply to AVET's little quip....data does not change, though the data in new published articles is certainly new data. Theories may change, on the other hand. As I (and others) have pointed out ad nauseum here, science is self-correctly, while religious dogma (eg creationism) is not. Which should we trust, AVET?

I see what you're saying that observations never change, even when we get newer, more accurate ones and that makes sense. This seems more of a semantics or definition of scope issue than anything, to be honest.

Probably the data you were talking about when you used the word "data" in that post in this thread.

No wonder you guys think the bible is consistent. You can't retain more than a posts worth of information at one time.
Yeah yeah, if someone is clear what they are referring to I can bury them in data. It might not be the kind they like, but I deal with what is available.

Saying it has been demonstrated doesn't mean it actually has been. How has those things been proven and demonstrated? How has it been proven that jesus actually did heal people?
It was observed and recorded by solid folks. How are your baseless doubts proven and demonstrated?


And how do you know they never believed the earth was flat? I find it very strange that you honestly claim that your ancestors never claimed such. What made them think the earth was round, and how do you know this?

Who said we need to chose between round and flat? Maybe different folks had different guesses. Looking out over the sea, one may have noticed that there is a sort of dip. Some may have put 2 and 2 together. If it keeps bending and bending it must be round.




I'm just confused ?? You talked about some data, and i have no idea what data you are talking about
In regards to what topic? Give me a hint and I will try to cook up some data for you!

Evidence or gtfo
Evidence that creation exists is creation exists. Part of creation involves changes. Changes in life. Those changes were not known by science to have taken place in our set of laws. In fact the record of the bible indicates fast changes occurred. There is no evidence that the present slow changes are the way changes happened. So unless you have evidence that the state was the same, and the changes likewise, you are already out. Hows them apples?

baseless doubts? I don't have doubts. I know the god of the bible cannot exist. You do know that over 99 percent of scientists accept evolution right? There's no controversy at all. And I really mean at all. You just say it was observed and recorded by solid folks ( so that's the people who wrote the bible?). How do you know those people are trustworthy, or that the intention was for people to read what they wrote, literally




Who said we need to chose between round and flat? Maybe different folks had different guesses. Looking out over the sea, one may have noticed that there is a sort of dip. Some may have put 2 and 2 together. If it keeps bending and bending it must be round.

You said without a doubt that your "people" did not ever believe the earth was flat, and seeing as almost EVERYBODY back then believed the earth was flat, I find it strange that you go with the least logical option. The least logical being that they figured out the earth was round without the proper tools. You decided to go against what is most likely





In regards to what topic? Give me a hint and I will try to cook up some data for you!

Listen! read your orginal post. YOU talked about some data, NOT ME. So you tell me what data you are talking about. You didn't even specify what this data was supposed to prove. IF it was data for the proof of god, data that proves evolution wrong? data that proves the stories written in the bible? I HAVE NO CLUE, as i'm not the one who wrote (the data is there)

Evidence that creation exists is creation exists.

That is the most ridiculous circular argument I've ever heard. By that logic, i can claim anything I want simply by saying that something which exists is only able to exist provided what I want. For example, only the Flying Spaghetti Monster can create gravity, thus the existence of gravity is evidence that the noodly one is real. See the problem?

Part of creation involves changes. Changes in life. Those changes were not known by science to have taken place in our set of laws.

EVOLUTION HAS BEEN OBSERVED.

In fact the record of the bible indicates fast changes occurred.

The record of the Bible is irrelevant to this discussion.

There is no evidence that the present slow changes are the way changes happened.

All the evidence gathered in the real world supports evolution.

So unless you have evidence that the state was the same, and the changes likewise, you are already out. Hows them apples?

You've already been given evidence that the state back then was the same. You are deliberately ignoring it. You are a troll.

Please stop using the word "data" when your really mean "conjecture and speculation based on my own flawed intepretation of scripture." Thanks. :wave:

I see the problem for you, yes. Not me. You want to say gravity happened along for no reason in particular? Either you know, or do not know...them's the choices!!!


EVOLUTION HAS BEEN OBSERVED.
SO WHAT!!!!!!!??? So has reproduction, another created trait.


The record of the Bible is irrelevant to this discussion.
Only in your head. It is relevant to all things at all times. Not negotiable.


All the evidence gathered in the real world supports evolution.
So? Since that doesn't involve genesis, who cares? If you want to defend your imaginary timeframes good luck with that!

There is no evidence the state was the same, be honest.

History and bible are data. The science that shows continents moved is data....etc. There is lots of data to interpret differently than evos want to interpret it.
