• 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 once let us all try to be honest.

All I'm doing by making up this slideshow explanation is demonstrating how the earth can be a sphere, yet still be presented to someone in a moment of time.

All people are doing by saying that the flood was local is demonstrating how what an entire society perceived as their "world" can be flooded, yet the that would not represent the entire planet.

This "society" -- was it made up of hybrid angels & humans?

If you don't know, or claim it isn't on principle, do you mind if I take your post with a grain of salt?

No, and neither were you.

So you know what that means, don't you?

I'll let the Bible break the tie.

Yep, and the Bible says nothing about angels hybridizing with humans, so I will keep my version.

First of all, you want your interpretation of scripture to "break the tie," not "the bible."

Secondly, I have to ask why we should accept the bible as a source for determining anything about nature or the physical world.

Not knowing your interpretation, do you mind if I go ahead and use mine?

We all know it is [even creationists know] but just how badly in your opinion is creationism damaging the USA?
short and long term.

The first thing that springs to mind is education.
Hi, consol. :wave:
