• 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.

Cogent criticism of quack ideas isn’t bad-mouthing biology
The criticism can't be described as cogent due to Answers in Genesis fundamental errors and distortions about evolution. The mischaracterise it as only a violent struggle between individuals for supremacy.

They completely ignore the value in cooperation or adapting to unused niches as evolutionary advantages.

Given that AiG won'tr even examine evidence that they are incorrect (their statement of faith won't allow it), I find any assertion about the evidence of actual research scientists suspect at best.

Well, if indeed they have misrepresented the very argument they claim to refute then their attempted rebuttal should be rejected as you say.

Not the victims.

We're not talking about the victims.
The muslim victims of IS bombings, don't agree with IS jihadists either.

Doesn't change the fact that IS thinks they are fighting the good fight.

No need! I know them by heart.

In that case, you should know better.

There is nothing scientific about seriously flawed ideas.

The most solid theory in all of biology, isn't flawed just because you think so.

Pieces on evolution coming from Aig only ever falls. Flat on its face.

You misspelled "lies" and "propaganda".

So let's just agree to disagree. :)

BTW

Thanks for the spelling corrections. They are typos. Let me return the favor.

Please note that you are attempting to use fragments as a sentences, are failing to capitalize a proper noun, and are using commas improperly. The following articles will prove helpful.

Also, the expression: "....only ever falls" is nonsensical.

Nope. It's pretty factual that AiG is not a go-to source for anything honest or accurate concerning biological evolution.

The entire organization's business plan is based on arguing against it - no matter what.

As their very own "statement of faith" clearly demonstrates.

But the mindset is still there.

How many people had to be rescued in 1865 from rich people whose conscience was stunted by thinking like an evolutionist?

How many people had to be rescued in 1945 from scientists whose conscience was stunted by thinking like an evolutionist?

How many people had to be rescued in 1965 from average people whose conscience was stunted by thinking like an evolutionist?

How many people need to be rescued since 1972 from the medical profession whose conscience is stunted by thinking like an evolutionist?

Reducing people down to genes and tissue and molecules can lead to holocausts.

This is what happens when technology advances over Bible-respecting individuals.

I once worked with this little scrawny fellow at a dental lab who interpreted my Christian reluctance to reply in kind to his persecutions as weakness and unworthiness to be working there.

"Only the strong survive!" He kept chanting.
