  • 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.

Please note that I have repeatedly clarified what I mean but to no avail. So I really see no reason why I must repeatedly clarify what I clarified especially when I am not speaking Urdu. I am speaking plain English.

I did explain and even offered links where my particular theistic view is described as acceptable within the theistic evolution parameters and it was ignored. I also clearly explained that I am not espousing theistic evolution but merely saying that it does not prevent the conclusion of intelligent design. What am I supposed to do, repost it for the dozens of atheists who demand that I clarify such a simple thing? Isn't that a bit unrealistic.

To me it seems that the standard atheist response to anything that a theist proposes is to demand an explanation and when an explanation is provided then to demand elaboration. Then when an elaboration is provided to claim that they don't have the faintest idea what is being explained. Do you feel that encourages discussion? Absolutely not. That only leads to a breakdown of communication, and the conclusion that any further attempt at explanations is time-wastingly useless. When the insistence continues, then it becomes similar to an inquisition because the inquisitors were similarly not open to any agreement or to any logical persuasion but who kept insisting on an explanation. So I have concluded that it is simply just best to agree to disagree.

You could also have concluded that "them atheists" aren't just out to annoy you, but genuinely don't understand what your position or justification thereof is, because you simply aren't being clear about it.

"them atheists" have also explained on various occasions to you what the source of confusion is, and more often then not, it is you making contradictory statements.

So far, I've seen you post argument for Intelligent Design, theistic evolution and now also plain old creationism with a literal adam and eve as first and only homo sapiens without biological ancestors.

These 3 views are in direct conflict with one another.

So if you express one of them in one thread, and then argue for one of the other 2 in another thread, only to then argue for the last one in yet another thread.... what do you think the result will be, with people who notice that?

You mean this?



That's the way the intelligent designer made things.

Is that the same answer to this question?

Why are there so few blue, green, or purple mammals? • r/askscience

Why do we see only really see white/black/red/orange/yellow/grey/brown/pink but little to no blue/purple/green based mammals? With Green and Blue being such prominent colors in nature, I would think they would be go to colors for camouflage. I honestly couldn't think of any mammals except the Blue Whale, but they are more grey-ish than blue...

Any insight would be welcomed.

Because it makes the most sense. You?
Does it make the most sense to you? You did say that you are a believer-right? So if it doesn't make the most sense why believe it? Or is there doubt in your believe?

Yes, to me it's just, "that is how God made animals". Do you agree?
Yes, I believe that intelligent design is very clearly evident in nature. So I have absolutely no doubt that there is an intelligent designer.

Would you consider evolution through natural processes to be intelligent design?
I consider nature itself as being designed by the intelligent designer. However, I might not agree with the details of what you consider a natural process.
