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.

You're right, of course. I was talking about the "mutations only change what is already there" part with my edit, but I wasn't very clear about that.

May I ask why?RichardT said:
Yeah, because liberal ideas such as abolition, equal rights, civil rights, and allowing women to vote caused all the problems in our society today. We should go back to more conservative times when women couldn't vote and white people were allowed to lynch any minority that looked at him wrong.

i do not know if you are a parody or sockpuppet or not.
impossible to tell.
so i'll take this posting seriously although it might not be posted in that way.
no.
lots of conservatives accept the scientific theory of evolution.
i have only to point to:
BB.Warfield who more than any other single person is responsible for the theory of Biblical inerrancy.
and J.G.Machen who lead some of the conservatives out of the Presbyterian church in 1936 after a big battle. He wrote what is still an excellent book on the topic: _Christianity and Liberalism_ where his point is that liberalism is a different religion that is traditional Christianity.
actually being either a liar or ignorant of important things is worse than being a liberal.
because liberal ideas such as abolition, equal rights, civil rights, and allowing women to vote caused all the problems in our society today.
to this list one would have to add:
8 hour work day.
labor unions legal
health, building codes, safety and environmental laws
social security
GI bill of rights after WW2
all of which conservatives said was against the word of God and the expressed intentions of God for society.

I wish the word fundamentalist wasn't such a dirty word. It SHOULD mean :Follows the fundamentals. what it as become is Intolerant, bigoted, stone thowing, terroristic, etc...Jase said:

I agree. I think part of the problem with the debates today is how people frame the issue. Look at how RichardT uses liberal as a deflamatory remark, even though liberalism as brought some of our greatest freedoms. Likewise, I live in Utah, and I know people that call themselves fundamentalists, but are not intolerant, bigotted, etc... Anyway, back on topic.
RichardT:
What are your thoughts about Christian geologists who falsified the Global Flood searching for evidence of the Flood, and that with new advances in science, 99% of geologists now accept that the Earth is old?

Hey random.
Thanks for replying. As to your 2nd part, isn't quoting "Majority rules" technically an error in logic?

He's not saying that the Earth is old because 99% of geologists believe it is. He's saying that the evidence for an old Earth convinces 99% of geologists.Uphill Battle said:

at one point, the scientific consensus was that the earth was flat. (insomuch as it was archaic "science.") There is always the possibility that the majority, even if experts, are wrong.Skaloop said:

Seeker for life, probably
Contrary to popular belief, the idea of a flat earth was disbanded very early in history. In the 1st century BC at the latest, every scholar agreed that the earth is spherical - and you can't really say that there was something like the "scientific consensus"before that time.Uphill Battle said:
