Physical & Life Sciences Statement of Purpose
The Physical & Life Sciences forum is a discussion and debate area on physics, biology, chemistry and other physical sciences. Other physical sciences may include but is not limited to astronomy, earth science, archeology, climate change, ecology, geology, oceanography and energy.
Physical Sciences address the nature and properties of non-living systems while life sciences address the nature and properties of living matter. This may include the way two or more of these have an effect on each other between observation, theory, deduction and application.
Remember to quote sources if applicable. When copying a portion of an article or informational piece, remember the copyright limits outlined by CF as well as the copyright stipulations of the article publisher.
Do not flame other views. Christianity cannot be called a myth, and science cannot be called a religion or made up. Threads started, or responses made, to simply disparage science will be considered off topic to the forum.
Creation and Evolution discussions are off topic to this main forum, and should be started in the sub-forum, Creation & Evolution.
Handling Disagreements
Members who participate in the Physical & Life Sciences forum are expected to treat one another with courtesy and respect at all times, ESPECIALLY when you disagree with each other. It is not a flame for a member to disagree with another member's argument or opinion on a specific topic.

- When you disagree, address the content of the post and not the poster.
- When you disagree with someone's position, you should post evidence and supporting statements for your position. This policy, sometimes referred to as "X means Y because of Z", must be followed especially when posting claims that are widely considered to be controversial.
- When you disagree and you find yourself becoming frustrated and angry, step away from the computer and give yourself time to cool down.
- Always proofread your post before hitting the "Reply" button to make sure you have responded with courtesy and respect.
