  • 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.

Oh, I have offered a ton of evidence. Above and beyond the call of duty. It does not matter to me though. I do the research and share it with others for my own edification and education. So I can learn more about God and the word of God. If anyone else gets any benefit out of it that is fine. If no one does that is fine also because like I say I do it for myself because I have to be content that what I say is true and that there are no contradictions. I am fully convinced that the Christian life is the very best life to live and I would never ever want to go back to not being a Christian. I know beyond any doubt that God answers prayer. The Bible talks about the effectual feverant prayer of the righteous availeth much. Now this is five words and that is a lot to deal with. I try to explain the meaning of ONE word to people and they do not seem to grasp the concept of what just one word means. So when you put five words together like this I can see where it could be difficult for people to understand what they need to do to receive an answer to their prayers.

Christians require very little in the way of words because they are so powerful and have so much meaning. People want a lot of words yet we are told: "When there are many words, sin is unavoidable, but the one who controls his lips is wise." prov 10 19

"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart". heb4:12

"For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; 11So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it. Isa 55

Isa 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; H6743 and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
You really don't seem to get how this whole evidence thing works. Like your article on sacred prostitution. Yes, it was evidence, and yes you posted it, which was great. Unfortunately it had absolutely nothing to do with the thing we were discussing. This missing of a vital demonstrative step seems a common theme with your evidence. Not trying to be rude, but you do it a lot, and then seem to get upset that other people don't see your point. Just so you know, it's frustrating from the other side, too.

Gen 8:4 "The ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat" In Syrian tradition, as well as in Quranic tradition, the specific summit of the "Mountains of Ararat" where Noah's ark landed is identified as Mount Judi in what is today Şırnak Province, Southeastern Anatolia Region, Turkey.

We have two words here: "cultivate" & "till". This is the same word in the Hebrew: "Abad" Adam was the first to cultivate and till the ground. Although God planted the Garden. Adam tilled the ground and cultivated the plants that God provided for him. The plough represents one of the major advances in agriculture.

Genesis 2:15 Then the LORD God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it.
Genesis 3:23 therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken
Genesis 4:2 Again, she gave birth to his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
Genesis 3:17-19
Then to Adam He said, "Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life. "Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field; By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return."

We know Adam lived 6,000 years ago. Farming was actually progressive over time. They would collect their seeds and throw them out in the mud in the spring. Something new began with Adam. Science calls this the agricultural revolution or the Neolithic Revolution. By the late stone age the stone tools were fairly effective, then metal farming tools were developed. The transition from the stone age to the bronze age was in Mesopotamia where Adam lived when Adam lived there.

Is there someone else living in the same place Adam lived at the same time that Adam lived that you would like to propose as the first person to till the land? Of course when you till the land you can keep flocks because you can feed them. This is the beginning of cities and the beginning of civilization.

"Agriculture advanced to Europe slightly later, reaching the northeast of the continent from the east around 4000 BC. The idea that agriculture spread to Europe, rather than independently developing there, has led to two main hypotheses. The first is a "wave of advance", which holds that agriculture traveled slowly and steadily across the continent, while the second, "population pulse" theory, holds that it moved in jumps.[15] Also around 6000 years ago, horses first began to be domesticated in the Eurasian steppes. Initially used for food, it was quickly discovered that they were useful for field work and carrying goods and people.[16] Around 5,000 years ago, sunflowers were first cultivated in North America, while South America's Andes region was developing the potato.[8] A minor center of domestication, the indigenous peoples of the eastern United States appear to have domesticated numerous crops, including tobacco.[17]" WIKI

It is a defense mechanism. If they keep saying they have presented scientific evidence, they may convince themselves of the same.
I said there is an abundant overwhelming scientific evidence. I did not say I would do your research for you. I just said you will find an abundance of information if you were to take the time to look. Which you do not seem to be interested in doing.

This is like a hidden treasure. If I said there is GOLD in California or GOLD in Alaska and you said I do not believe you. Then I would say forget you. IT'S every man for himself, go get your own GOLD. The Bible is a hidden treasure. If your not interested I don't care. There is plenty to go around for everyone. If you want to prosper that is up to you. If you do not want God's blessing and prosperity that is your choice to make. If your happy and content with your life and what you have wonderful. This is for people that want more then what they have and are not content with where they are at.

Great. Adam is not Noah.

I know what you say, but I believe most here, are more interested in what you can demonstrate.
