• 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 hate to say it, but P&LS and C&E are becoming a ghost town.

Yah. But you kind of let us down in that last thread though. They showed you some scientist lady with some bouncing balls and you didn't even claim the video was doctored by atheists or anything. No relevant Bible quote offered for disputation. Hope you're not going soft on us.
Let's invite our friends, Romans, and countrymen here for some good conversation.

Seriously? Catholics too? ;)

Don't worry.

That thread was one of my few science-only threads that I have posted here in the past 10 years.

I'm not planning on getting down out of the saddle ... you can count on it! ;)

What's a "P&LS and C&E"?
Physical and Life Science and Creation and Evolution

Two subforums here I love to haunt.

I think you're kind of out on a limb. What if science starts bolstering Christian claims more and more? (I think it already is.) Then you'll have to change your "take a hike" position someday.

You are correct.

If science wants to claim that Job mentions electronic communication, Isaiah mentions the universe expanding, and the cosmic microwave background is Shekinah light, then I'll give my caption a second thought.

Especially if science builds an apparatus that can do this ...

2 Kings 6:17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

Well I was thinking of other things, but okay.

I always wondered why there was so little overlap with the Origins forums and here, and I was just looking for Origins and can't find them. Do you know if they're gone?

Origins?

I'm sorry ... I don't know what forums you're talking about.

I think it was called Origins Theology, a subforum within General Theology, then within that there were 2 or 3 more, one called Theistic Evolution, can't remember the others' names. You know Mark Kennedy? He was in there there a lot. WiccanChild too. I thought you were in there once in a while.

Oh, now I remember.

Ya ... I didn't frequent those threads much at all.

I focused mainly on P&LS and C&E.

C&E have a ghost town because nothing new has been added for years. People are still trotting out the same old points they did five years ago, and the other side refutes them with the same song and dance.

And physical and life sciences talks about a lot of things, but little science. Either you see threads that should be posted in C&E, people try to prop up their own pet theory of how stuff works (in spite of the scientific evidence) or they try to prove or disprove some god concept by scientific findings.

It has been a long time since I've seen a thread on here that shouldn't be posted either in conspiracy theories, C&E or apologetics.
