• 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.

I'm always hearing how evolution did this and that for the benefit of Mr. Kite.

Are there any examples of where evolution went wrong?
Pick any extinct species.

Once again, you demonstrate that you don't actually know how evolution works...

From the perspective of the rest of the planet, that would be us I think.

Evolution is a theory that explains certain facts about the natural world. Just like gravity explains why water flows downhill. There's nothing 'wrong' about it. That flowing water might result in a flood that destroys a town, but the water could not have done otherwise.

As noted above, evolution has produced many non-optimal solutions. These are not examples of evolution going 'wrong', but evolution working the only way it can work.

If I swallow wrong I can almost drown in my own saliva.
Keep your chin up! I'm sure that if babies can master swallowing, you can too. I have full confidence in you! Now go! Seize the day!
