• 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.

Just For fun!!!

I'm fairly certain most of you know that I believe that man was created, rather than evolved from something else. but that's not what this post is about. This post is mostly intended to lighten things up a bit and have some fun with.

If evolving from an animal, what characteristic do you wish you could have kept, and why? feel free to pick and choose whatever animal you want.

I wish we would have kept a prehensile tail, I think a tail would come in handy for dusting, and holding the phone while I tried to do dishes, etc....
 
kk... nice idea, but I'm not sure if GMI will allow it -- hey GraftMeIn, does it have to be limited to organisms that are likely to be found in the human line of descent, or can our more distant cousins be included too? If so, I may need to change my vote... I'd like one of those blow-holes like the cetaceans have!

That's actually a tough one. I would put in a vote for low-light vision, or claws; cats rock.

The feature I most miss is the disconnection between "pain" and "suffering"... but I suppose someone wrote a story about our encounter with the knowledge of good and evil. :)
