People wil probably take offense to this and have it deleted.

but where are all the Christians in the CrEvo forum defending their beliefs?
from what I've seen it's about 98% atheists 1.9% other and about .1 percent creationists.
This isn't a fear of being proven wrong thing is it?

I don't know, The Bible contains one chapter on the subject. If my strength was science I would frequent them more. My strength is Biblical prophecy so I usually frequent eschatology threads. The truth of Biblical prophecy when compared to history, confirms to me that God did it just how He said. As i tell the evolutionist, they cant confirm the small fact of evolutions start. While Biblical prophecy is on the brink of complete fulfilment, I will enjoy the race.

CF is so huge I wasn't aware they existed. I have since found them and I think I will begin posting there. Thanks for the heads up!

Hi, there used to be two forums, same topic.

One in the majority populated non christian area, and one in the majority populated Christian area.

I don't know what happened to the one in theology (the majority populated Christian area one.) I don't know if they closed it or moved it. But I don't see it anymore.

But the reason you see the majority being non Christian is because those forums is where majority non Christians post.

Not sure if I've said this before, but while I believe Genesis gives the creation account, that God created all, and we are all descendants of Adam and Eve; for those who struggle with such, if they do, it of course is not a requirement to believe such to come to Christ nor to follow Christ.

Only faith/trust/belief in Christ is what brings one to Christ and once in Christ always in Christ.

I've never been interested in creation debates as are not interesting to me.

I have other interests.

They probably just moved the other forum somewhere I couldn't locate, but anyway above is the reason for what you see.

In the area you are speaking of is called discussion and debate, which is a place I post regularly. Comparitively as compares to other team forums, there are not a high percentage of Christians post there altogether.

I post replies to topics there.

But politics and creation in those forums, I have no interest in.

take care,
tapero

 

[tapero]

ah, just found the one in majority christian forum area:

http://christianforums.com/f143-origins-theology.html

 

[prgallo]

Didn't know it existed. But given all the things that we can discuss people can google and get most answers and responses to questons anyway so why take the limited time available to focus on that topic.

 

[indagroove]

1. You do not have the power to offend me
2. No one there has the knowledge or power enough to shake my faith. God has revealed himself to me.
3. I have 5 kids of my own, I hear enough rantings all day long without looking for more.

Have a great day !

I think these are very wise words, tapero!

I almost wonder sometimes, not necessarily that it's a test, but it's to see whether you have faith in Christ, regardless of whether you're an evolutionist, creationist, a combination of the two, or neither. Then again, maybe it is -- and in order for that, you must have faith. What's really important here? I think that gets lost. Perhaps disbelief vs. belief is the thing really being debated and evolution vs. creationism is just a cover?

It has nothing to do with a fear of being wrong, but if you've ever read the posts in General Apologetics, then you know that the atheists here have a very nasty tone and they're here to mock us and our religious beliefs, not have sincere conversations.

I have noticed their tone and mocking tendencies here and elsewhere on the web. It is interesting that when you have no real, personal standard to hold yourself to this is what can happen. Your inner, "natural" character comes out. Perhaps they don't realize what they are doing is wrong -- especially on a Christian forum! (It's very rude and doesn't do them much credit in trying to persuade others unless you already share their viewpoint).



God Bless.

Hi,

Not sure if you were replying to me or to the op as you didn't quote anyone so I can't tell.

But if to me, the reason I gave her the link in my 2nd post is due to her op post about why are there no c's in a particular forum.

I explained and then went and found the other forum, found the link and posted it, which is where mostly c's post on same topic.

As to what a person desires to read about is up to an individual persons interest, which in this case the op may be curious about creation/evolution/orgins/ etc, and is here and reading and not interested in google answers perhaps, but in what's posted in cf.

Actually no need for cf at all as google would have answers from many sources on all of any questions occur in cf. People are at cf as they desire to be.

But the most important point of her op which I wanted to explain is why she is seeing the disparity, (what she saw in the one forum as compares to the other forum), as she is most likely not familiar with all forums on the site.

It was the OP. I usually don't reply to someone else on this forum and try to stick by the rules as I understand them. Since you asked though I didn't want to be impolite.

Most of the Christians here won't even venture into those areas and talk to the atheists.

It has nothing to do with a fear of being wrong, but if you've ever read the posts in General Apologetics, then you know that the atheists here have a very nasty tone and they're here to mock us and our religious beliefs, not have sincere conversations.

The Christians are just tired of it.

Maybe if the atheists would be a little respectful and listen to us on occasion, we might go back there.

agree with this.

i have been here for years and spent most of my time over in that area about 4 yrs ago...most Christians on this site have spent too many hours over in that area arguing the truth (been there, done that, dont want to revisit)

It's more like.... no sense in talking to a brick wall.

Hi Imscared,

There is nothing offensive about your post.

In all honesty I used to post there until I realised two things.

1) The internet changes how people interact. When you are anonymous there is no backlash for bad behaviour, and all of a sudden everyone is a very brave person.
2) Most people posting there have absolutely no interest in finding out the truth. They simply want to be right.

I posted there quite a bit at the start, and after a while I found myself in heated discussion with people that were not going anywhere. I had to ask myself why I was doing that, and what was I gaining or giving to others. I came back with a big question mark to both of those, so I stopped posting.

There are a couple of things you should realise. First Evolution doesn't disprove God. Second, Creationism is a very young science, and quite small compared to other fields of study.

For the same reasons, I also don't post in General Apologetics much. If someone is interested in Christianity they can post in the Outreach area here, and talk to Christians. Yet not many do, because they are not interested in Christianity, they just want to be right, and superior numbers means they can generally shout over any sincere Christian posts, until they only see what they want to see. Them being right.

Cheers,
Digit

I'd second these comments.

Also there are a lot of topic areas and I only have limited time. It's not an area that particularly interests me and I don't know a lot of the scientific background.
