  • 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.

Proof there is no life on other planets

I forget where I heard this, but it's worth repeating.

What's the best food on earth? Lobster. It crawls on the ocean floor.

What's next best? Shrimp. Swims a little higher. Then fish.

What's next? Meat. Beef, venison, chicken, etc., land-dwelling creatures.

Next best? Fruits and vegetables. Grow just a little above land.

What's the next worst food? Flying creatures. Pigeons. Worse, scavengers that are generally high-fliers.

Next worst? Airplane food. Yech.

Next worst? The stuff they give to astronauts.

Obviously, as you get farther away from the center of the earth, the food gets worse.

It follows that by the time you got to another planet, the food would be SO bad that it couldn't possibly support life.

Case closed.

This thread does bring up an irony, however.

 

There are many atheists who claim to be such because there is "absolutely no proof whatsoever" that supports the existence of God. Yet, many of these same people will tell you that they firmly believe that there is intellegent life elsewhere in the universe, even though there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that would support such a claim.

I'm sure there are some guys like that out there. Design an idiot-proof machine and the world makes a bigger idiot. One could make sweeping and unflattering generalizations about Presbyterians in much the same way. Yes. There are people who are mixed up, and yes, some of them are atheists. Who is suprised by this?

there is NOTHING to prove OR disprove either the existance of life on other planets OR that a 'god' truly exists. We go on faith and belief alone. The bible, the devil, the pagan deities personalities....... we cant prove ANY of this holds truth, nor can we prove that it does not exist.
