• 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.

Wood boat?

Most people think Noah's Ark was a ship -- but the Bible never calls it a 'ship'.

It was actually a submarine.

Notice that it is described as having 'one window' (periscope) at the top:

Genesis 6:16a A window shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above;

... thus the Ark was not subject to the stresses that would have been placed on ships on the surface.
Are you sure about that? :confused:

It's a Poe ... a joke.

To clarify, what makes it a Poe is the notion that it's no more or less asinine than some of the other "theology" you sincerely try to fob off on this forum.

I'd say my worst theology beats your best science any day of the week; but we're just throwing opinions back and forth, aren't we?

Pull the other one, it has bells on.

Trust AVET to make a totally indefensible statement everyday.

Of course you'd say that; it's classic you.

but we're just throwing opinions back and forth, aren't we?
Perhaps -- except our opinions have facts to back them up.

On the other hand, Embedded Age, Noah coming from New Jersey, and flood waters sent to Neptune to warn off would-be rebel angels are, among your other doozies, completely lacking in any kind of factual support.

After all, if you had anything vaguely resembling a fact, you wouldn't post "challenge" threads like this one demanding that the rest of us prove your fairy tales for you, now would you?

If you have better explanations, I'm all ears.

At least I put Mr. Noah in [what is now] New Jersey; others say he didn't exist.

If you think he existed, then you tell me where he lived.

Or perhaps you don't have the guts to speculate?

I don't deal in facts, I wasn't called to be a scientist.

You aim to amuse -- and you aim well.

Facts supported by moving goalposts.

What moving goalposts? How about you provide some facts of your own for a change, then?

If you have better explanations, I'm all ears.

Mythology. Done.

At least I put Mr. Noah in [what is now] New Jersey; others say he didn't exist.

Well, there's your better explanation right there -- he didn't exist.

If you think he existed, then you tell me where he lived.

I don't -- hence my better explanation.

Why are creationists too lazy to do their own work -- or any work, for that matter? Even you, AV, demand that the rest of us prove your fairy tales for you.

Or perhaps you don't have the guts to speculate?

I don't need to speculate -- I deal in facts -- you don't.

I don't deal in facts, I wasn't called to be a scientist.

You weren't called to be anything, AV -- you called yourself to be... well, whatever it is you want to call yourself.

I sincerely hope you consider yourself entertainment -- everyone else does.

Do you have Biblical verses supporting the statement that we should not pay attention to the physical world?

Thanks.
My ... you dragged that one out of mothball, didn't you?

I'm glad you did.

Here ya go ...

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.


And let me clarify that it is: "Don't pay attention to the physical world, over what the Bible says."

The Bible is part of the physical world. So your last statement is self-contradictory.

This thread is from 2011. I was reading from the start.
I noticed how you edited it to make it say what you wanted it to say.

Let me clarify that for you: people, don't respond to this guy! He's an internet troll out to flame the world of science and embarrass his own faith with his open displays of ignorance. He thinks he's being a good 'witness' but is about as annoying as that group that turn up to homosexual funerals and oh-so-lovingly shout "God hates gays!" He's about at that level.

My advice? Do the WORST thing possible for an internet troll. Rob him of his audience, and just put him on your ignore list.

That's a little extreme.

My ignore list is difficult to get into; only the cream of the crop have that honour :p

Wake up, newbie.

Some of these guys have put up with me here for almost seven years now, and although they may not like me particularly well, they have respect for my faith ... and dare I say, some even learn a thing or two.

You, on the other hand, come in here displaying a short fuse; and I have a feeling you're not going to get much sympathy from even my antagonists.

(I could be wrong though. ;))
