• 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.

Well, I've asked for evidence that the moon was created ex nihilo; and I've gotten 16 pages of nihilo.

I'm going to go ahead, per my OP, and assume you guys cannot produce any.

The reason for this thread, is that I intend to QV people to this thread from now on, instead of my Apple Challenge thread.

In effect, it replaces my Apple Challenge.
Because
What would you accept as evidence?

Absolutely nothing --- there isn't any, in my opinion --- and never was.

What do you intend for this thread to prove? What I mean is, it's not proving anything, so you'll have to make something up. What is it going to be?
I use it whenever I see anyone asking someone to show them evidence (or 'proof') of creation.

I have always contended that the Creation Week left no evidence behind, and that God did not use science to create this universe.

Evidently you guys agree with me.

How do you get that out of people finding your "challenge" asinine and pointless?

This sort of "logic" doesn't impress anyone but you, AV. It's entirely silly, and a bastardization of rational thinking. Well done, you have sunk even lower than before.

It´s a linguistic game. An old salesman trick: get the customer to agree with something seemingly obvious without revealing the hidden meaning. He won´t deny something that he just agreed with.

Of course "we guys" agree that God did not "use" science (how do you do that, I would have to ask?) in the creation of this universe and we also agree that the creation week left no evidence, don´t we? We do not believe these things are real, so they could not "use science" or "leave evidence", could they?

But this "agreement" fails at its central point: it is not what is done by the object in question here, it is its existence.

Or it is eqally evident that AV agrees with "us guys" that the Invisible Pink Unicorn (oops, did I just mention the one who must not be named here?) did not do the same horrible crimes that the Christian God did?

It is the famous question of how to stop beating your wife when you are not married.

Lack of evidence is one thing. Evidence of something else is quite another.

Shameless.

I refer you to my last post in this thread, which you also didn´t "dignify" with an answer.

It is a linguistic game, nothing more.


Or how about you showing me the evidence that you were cloned from A.E. Neumann? What does it mean when such evidence does not exist?

Show me evidence that I sneezed and the Moon popped out and went into orbit around the earth. I will believe you if you say there isn't any.
There isn't any.

I will take your word on it if you say that none exists.

The moon is no older than when you sneezed.
