  • 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.

Are they really, but it is my friend, you have obviously been saturated with all the scientists have said regarding this matter that you cannot see beyond that.

I think for myself. I examine all available evidnece to draw the most logical conclusion. There is nothing beyond all available evidence. Instead you ignore what proves that you are wrong and then make pointless one-liner responses.

Amen to that! Imagine the nerve of some people, actually turning to scientists to gain scientific knowledge...

What were they thinking??? :help:

No disagreement there except, after the flood, things have changed a bit, but then no major changes would have occured.

Except for the utterly inexplicable disappearance of several billion cubic miles of water, no major changes indeed.

Suddenly I now realize the fact of my faith. Theism is the representation of all that is impossible. Science cannot prove nor disprove a theory that believes that all things are possible. Through theism we can prove that something is possible because of this. If this is so, let us believe what is written so we might not limit an almighty God. We must remember that he is impossible to impress without faith. Jesus was actually in awe of a human with great faith.

If this is true, then trying to prove a miracle from God is futile. His reasoning behind not providing evidence? To find who is faithful and wise? Also, it is futile to prove that a miracle never occured through God. It is impossible to say that an all-possibility being cannot do something. All this is true only if you believe in the God.

I am not saying that a miracle is impossible to prove with scientific discovery. I am only saying we as christians should not alter a miracle into anything less than miraculous.

Since you wish to introdcue "miracles" into a scientific discussion, I beleive it is now time to introduce you to the theory of Last Tuesdayism.

God created the entire universe, exactly as it is, at exactly 10:27 AM last Tuesday, complete with bogus geology to make the Earth look 4.6 billion years old, a bogus Bible to make people believe it was 6000 years old, bogus human history to make us think we've lived on this planet for 10,000 years, and bogus memories in all our brains to make us think that we were actually here before 10:27 AM last Tuesday.

As you said, trying to prove a miracle from God is futile. So if you want to bring miracles into a scientific discussion, how do you know this didn't happen?
