• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I'm going to have to disagree with you. I believe Einstein does as well.
No, he didn't.

Likewise, I have no evidence that an atom exists either. We have never observed an atom - what we have observed are signals from various types of instruments designed (in accordance with our understanding of the MODEL of the atom).
That's evidence.

You're three world borderline "troll" statements do you no good.

A. Give evidence to support your claims or counterclaims.
B. Provide links if needbe.
C. Address the entire argument. - a simply "no" or "false" to me is nearly the equivalent of an Ad-hominem in that it insults my entire argument. I'm willing to accept that I'm wrong, if you can provide some proof. Give me a link where Einstein denied the possibility of an intelligent designer. Einstein was certainly not an atheist.
D. Show me evidence of an atom. I suggest you take an upper level chemistry course, methods course. Simply reading a book on Viscious Intellectualism by William James might do you some good as well.

If you can't do any of this, I see no reason to continue this discussion so that I can be pounded w/strawmen and ad-hominems.

You made the claim that Einstein believed there was, or may have been, an intelligent designer. I have never seen any statement from Einstein to support this. Like I said, you first.

I also have no evidence of black hole evaporation.
