• 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.

Been waiting years to see Pluto, Charon, and the rest of the moons.

When I first saw this photo I was awestruck. And it's gonna get even better! As the months go on and we get more and more of the data from New Horizons, we'll get even more amazing pictures!

What a time to be alive!

If you ask him, he'll claim he only means that science doesn't apply to miracles and divine intervention (a position I'm fairly sure every Christian subscribes to), but of course his constant diatribes against science and scientists kind of hint at something deeper.

Yeah. He's afraid.

Craters
Strange craters with inner ring-ridge
Volcanoes
Long rift valleys similar to that on Mars
The big white patch is likely to be sand field
Eroded, rounded, isolated mounds
Flooded seas (by water or lava)

It looks like the Pluto is very similar to Mars, only at wrong orbit.

Isn't the entire surface (or most of it) frozen nitrogen surrounding a water ice mantle? That would make those features caused by liquid nitrogen if anything ever caused it to warm up enough to liquify in places, such as a meteor strike.

(I bet they promote it again :) )
If California, New Mexico, and Illinois get their ways, it will be.

But what do you mean by "promote it again"?

Was it promoted in the first place?

So what does science can take a hike mean?
By that, I mean the times when God intervenes and makes science stand aside so He can do His will.

In other words, when He performs miracles.

For example, science took a hike during the Flood, or else the Ark would have been pulverized.

Science took a hike from the burning bush.

Science took a hike from the fiery furnace and the lion's den.

You get the picture. :)

No I don't get the picture... Have you witnessed any miracles "where the laws of physics were suspended in your favor?".

In this dispensation, it is hard to tell.

I'm talking mainly about miracles documented in the Bible.
