• 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.

Origin of God's Morality.

Does that mean that you concur with him, in accepting the big bang cosmological model as an accurate description of reality, or that you don't?
You mean "I do agree with him" doesn't make sense to you?

I suppose the question does assume at least a laymen's level understanding of the concepts involved - inflation theory, and all that.

I retract my question.
Oh, that theory....the one that you and 5 other people believe in......yeah, you should retract the question....

Do you believe that the universe is a fact a truth that exists?
I don't believe there is a layman's understanding of grammar there....you should retract the question.....

Must you tell lies about me?
.....yeah, you should retract the question....
Indeed, at least until you have a working understanding of the concepts involved.

There are those (who will remain anonymous ) is this thread that will use William Lane Craig's Kalamity argument (a "God" starts the "big bang") in support of their theology, while simultaneously requiring the subsequent formation of the Cosmos and Earth to happen via a series of "miracles" over a relatively short period of time, and there are Christians that uncritically accept the big bang cosmological model, and the billions of years required for the formation of the heavier elements, then our solar system, followed by the eventual cooling of our planet that permitted the process of life to begin some 3.8 billion years ago.

Hence my question.

Nope! I asked about Darwin's Theory specifically. I believe some form of evolution, just not Darwin's.
I don't know hat you are lumping under Darwin's Theory. Actually, the proper term today is neo-Darwin, since modern genetics has gone beyond Darwin.

I asked you a question about that, I don't believe you answered. I'm trying to find common ground. I don't understand the term 'well-being'. I asked if you would say that our desire for wellbeing of others would be the same as conscience?
Actually, you asked who determines whether what we do is good or bad, thereby including in your question a premise that I do not accept.
