• 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.

  • 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.

A gene pool consists of many traits

But not all the traits in a gene pool are expressed

Right?

That is correct, and the minimum required variation for a population is no less than 160 for any species to survive,.....any lower, and the species is endangered,....with a group of only 8,....it will definitely go extinct

And that is not possible according to science....
It is possible according to GOD's Sovereignty

So we can say that GOD preserved a people by ensuring that only those healthy traits be expressed

You don't like "pure" DNA

Of course not

But GOD can select from the genepool what HE wants to ensure will preserve a people

It's nothing to do with my liking, I have no horse in the race, if the story of Noah was true, I would not lose sleep over it

I go with science,...you go with miracles....with magic anything is possible, so whats the point of discussion, when you are going to insist on Goddidit for everything? :)

I didn't do anything
And do you know why 8 had to be saved?

Do you know the hidden significance of 8

Simple, because we can observe that in nature and study genetics,....any species that has that low a population goes extinct,...no exception,....unless 'magic' is part of the process :)

Because their DNA (gene pool) is not the purest!

You are studying animals that have gone extinct in the past (how many years)?

Only through the eyes of uniformitarianism.

Name one that did.

And I don't mean one that was on its way out already.

I mean one that went extinct because a bottleneck event reduced it to 8.

That's what God does very well: makes exceptions.

Magic can't hold a candle to miracles.

I can't tell God anything, I don't have his contact, would you mind giving me his e-mail or something?
Want His number?

It's JEREMIAH 333

Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
