• 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.

Cool school.

I didn't see anything in those commentaries about making excuses, but you're entitled to your own perspective.

Maybe in ignoring the fact that your interpretations could be faulty has led to you being 'puffed up' with pride - thinking your opinion is superior to anyone elses.
Well, for the record, I'm approaching this from the perspectives of cosmic evolution, theistic evolution, and Gap theory: none of which I believe in.

I'm sure you, on the other hand, as an atheist, take that even further and reject YEC, OEC, Day-Age, Apparent Age, and Embedded Age.

But if it makes you feel I'm being puffed up with pride, go right ahead.

Who's puffier?

Approach it from where you like, if your intial premise is faulty "a day = a millenium" you are unlikely to be successful.

I'm sure you, on the other hand, as an atheist, take that even further and reject YEC, OEC, Day-Age, Apparent Age, and Embedded Age.

Yep, we can agree on that.

But if it makes you feel I'm being puffed up with pride, go right ahead.

Thanks.

Denton - whose area of research is retinoblastoma - was wrong.
Denton has at least dropped this particular argument, since he must recognize that it was wrong. Apparently those who use his argument don't care.
