• 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.

  • 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.

Is there a recent comprehensive book on the evolving of hominids and when each group left Africa?

See, now that was funny.

But I find geraniums more insightful.

Geraniums can be, since they're still evolutionarily geared for production and self-reproduction. Still. Our biological classification seems to be abrograting its desire for survival.

It'd be a real shame if a book like John Reader's, Missing Links [a book I have], never gets another chapter added...

You young folks! In my day humour was meant to be funny. Perhaps, because I was a geologist, your jest has fallen on stony ground.

What do geologists call a benzene ring with iron atoms replacing the carbon atoms?

A ferrous wheel.
