  • 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.

How is it logical, to attribute actions to a being that can't even be shown to be real - let alone that this being did anything at all?
The same way it is logical to demonstrate gravity, by observing His effects:

Christian churches & edifices; hymns, carols & songs; organizations, programs & debates; Bibles & literature; martyrs & followers; iconography, bumper stickers & greetings; websites & bookstores; Christian time (BC/AD).

Dinner doesn't come "into being", in the sense of poofing into existence.
Your dinner is merely a rearrangement of existing materials

You are confused again. Never said dinner poofed or refereed top it in that sense.. Rearrangement? of course. Existing materials = the ingredients I mentioned. What are you refuting there, lol. I already mentioned something about choosing to miss the point, but if you are afraid to admit someone creating things is the only way things come into existence by man so it makes perfect sense, creation brought the universe into existence, that's up to you.

Of course we could always go with, something expanded and here we are. :rolleyes:

No. The point is about things "poofing" into existence. That simply doesn't happen. Conservation of mass and energy and all....

That's OK, starting to like the expanding thing better anyway...at least is fresh materal/more comical. :)

Who "creates" snowflakes? Ice? Rain? Steam?
It's funny, because even a child would realise that no "who" is present there.

What?? No "who" is present right now either, but you still see the text I'm writing....ridiculous.

Funny how you are having a conversation with yourself here.

Guess that beats trying to address it.....cop out

How is it logical, to attribute actions to a being that can't even be shown to be real - let alone that this being did anything at all?

Beats the heck out of expansion. How is it logical? I already explained. If you refuse to see the logic as expected, so be it.

Where did I try to "disprove" gods?

Perhaps you should try and stick to the things I actually say...[/QUOTE]

Perhaps you should realize it doesn't always revolve around you...general comment.

BTW, do you believe the God of the Bible exists?

Care to repost it?

Posted and reposted....If you were paying attention and reading the thread, there was no way you could have missed it.

If you are refering to the word as it is used in non-scientific context, then you're just in error, because in "big bang theory", it IS a scientific context.

Huh? You're actually telling me what context I can and cannot use now? Some of these claims you're making are just weird...more once sided rules, I guess.

Scientists cover their tracks well.

Nebraska Man, for example, is considered a "hoax," not a "mistake."

The Pluto vote in 2006 was a rigged vote; which was clearly brought out on this site.

To think, I missed you when you were on haitus.

Now, Kenny!

Don't you know they're entitled to their opinion, just as we're entitled to their opinion?

It's when we don't give in and agree with them that the spirit of persecution is awakened.

Just as weight occurs when gravity is resisted, ridicule (micropersecution) arises when their science is resisted.

I haven't had time to read the whole thread but can anyone direct me to the post where some original creation research was presented?
You want to research the miracles creatio ex nihilo/materia???

Me? No.

But I'm sure creation science must have done some research somewhere and had it published in a peer review journal.

I see a lot of opinion pieces online or apologetics but no research.

Here is the criteria for getting an article peer reviewed:

What Is Peer Review?


In academic publishing, the goal of peer review is to assess the quality of articles submitted for publication in a scholarly journal. Before an article is deemed appropriate to be published in a peer-reviewed journal, it must undergo the following process:

  • The author of the article must submit it to the journal editor who forwards the article to experts in the field. Because the reviewers specialize in the same scholarly area as the author, they are considered the author’s peers (hence “peer review”).
  • These impartial reviewers are charged with carefully evaluating the quality of the submitted manuscript.
  • The peer reviewers check the manuscript for accuracy and assess the validity of the research methodology and procedures.
  • If appropriate, they suggest revisions. If they find the article lacking in scholarly validity and rigor, they reject it.
· Because a peer-reviewed journal will not publish articles that fail to meet the standards established for a given discipline, peer-reviewed articles that are accepted for publication exemplify the best research practices in a field.

SOURCE

I'm pretty sure a creation science article wouldn't get past the second step.

Big bang theory is a scientific theory. That's just a fact.
I'm informing you that you are incorrect by implying that it is not.

You can ignore that if you want, but you're simply going to miss the fact that you're wrong.

As the famous saying goes: you are entitled to your own opinion, but you are not entitled to your own facts. Facts are facts are facts.

Big Bang Theory is factually a scientific theory. To suggest otherwise, is simply factually wrong.

Big bang theory is a scientific theory.
Indeed. And one that was first presented by a priest, no less. A priest who was a brilliant scientist.

I already mentioned something about choosing to miss the point, but if you are afraid to admit someone creating things is the only way things come into existence by man so it makes perfect sense, creation brought the universe into existence, that's up to you.

Where did those goalposts go?
This whole thing started by the phrase "coming into being", originally in context of "poofing into existence out of nowhere".

If you agree that such a thing simply doesn't happen, and that everything that "comes into being", is merely just a rearrangement of previously existing material, then we are in agreement and can put the point to rest.


What?? No "who" is present right now either, but you still see the text I'm writing....ridiculous.

You seem to be getting lost in your very own points.

Let me remind you of your own statements... i'll bold the relevant passages:

Sure, drop in anytime, I'll make dinner. I'll create it and it will come into being. IOW, after created, it will "be".

Then you will claim "how did the ingredients come into being?", which will of course tell me you chose to miss the point.

The only way things can be is if they are created, we have irrefutable evidence that is absolute fact. I create, you create, happens every second of the day and in zero of those seconds, minutes, hours, weeks, years does anything come into being without that...NEVER on it's own. I wouldn't even have to explain this to a child.

So, your point was that things don't "come into being" without someone creating them. As we have agreed upon above, "coming into being" merely means the rearrangement of already existing materials (like cooking dinner from pre-existing ingredients).

Then you boldly claimed that the ONLY way that things "come into being" is when someone "creates" it.

Snowflakes "come into being". So does ice and rain.
So, who "creates" those snowflakes, ice and rain? Or do they rather form just fine on their own, without any "intelligent entity" being involved in their "creation"?

At least have the intellectual honesty to admit that your point clearly is to generalised and that it simply doesn't add up.

I'm fine with you admitting to it and then rephrasing your statement in such a way that it accomodates for things that demonstrably form without any intelligent intervention.

But clearly, your point as written is not correct. Have the courage to admit it.

Guess that beats trying to address it.....cop out

Address what? You formulated a statement in my name - a statement I didn't write, and then addressed that statement. I don't think you could argue a strawman more blatantly then that.

Beats the heck out of expansion. How is it logical?

You mean, aside from the data that shows that the universe is demonstrably expanding?

Perhaps you should realize it doesn't always revolve around you...general comment.

Then don't formulate statement in my name.

BTW, do you believe the God of the Bible exists?
I have no reason to.

Posted and reposted....If you were paying attention and reading the thread, there was no way you could have missed it.

Is it that hard for you to include a link to the actual post?

WOW!

And you guys think you're qualified to argue against creationism?

'Out of nowhere'?

Try "out of NOTHING."

The specific term is creatio ex nihilo.
