  • 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.

Ok so assuming evolution(macro/common ancestor) is correct, isn't it...weird?

What if there was a new species(Rhinocat) that just ate humans? Imagine a Rhinocat coming in and eating your mom...

Your mom provided energy so that the Rhinocat could perform life functions.
Maybe, but so are you apparently… and I’m not going to deny your existence because of it.

So tell me.. if a bear or a shark ate your mom (providing it with energy to perform life functions) would you still think it weird?

The only weird thing is your imaginary rhinocat… which wouldn’t be weird anymore were it real. There are lots of weird animals that are real. What does this mean to you?

Ummm... no. In fact, it's so darned simple and straightforward I honestly can't imagine how people don't get it much less try to argue against it. But... that's just me.

I don't see how this has anything at all to do with evolution. Really, I don't.

As I'm sure many many hominids have for carnivorous species for millions of years. Of course, those that were eaten before they became parents were naturally unselected.

Uh no, but one would wish it would stop; it would mean a lot less flus and colds for me.

No stranger then selective breeding that's been going on for ages.

Not understanding how human eating carnivores affects evolution....? But evolution is more sane than believing some man built a large boat and put all the animals in there and the human race of today sprung from his three sons and daughter-in-laws (ew, can we say major incest here? :sick: )

You know what's really weird? An apparently mostly hairless hominid who walks upright on two legs. Now that's an animal kindgom oddity. :p
it is..
Although by what standard is something odd, and something not? every species has characteristicss unique to itself, and others that are shared by one or more other species.

Now I see the light. If Rhinocat eats my mom, then evolution cannot possibly be a scientifically valid theory.
