  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

From whence come love; morals; emotions; law
if mere atom; molecule; proton; quark
is all that ultimately, is of us?
Do electrons think? Can a nucleon laugh?
Anaximander once declared:'We came from fish'-
Well then, those with surname 'McGill' are blessed -
they need not be troubled with ancestral mystery!
They say a promethian bolt, from noble Thor
once came to stir the primal soup -
then, hubble, bubble, toil and trouble:
forth came microbes; trilobites; crustaceans;
ichthyians; amphibians; birds; rodents; monkeys and -
fanfare please - MAN!!
Come, come now -
To think that bickering gods of chaotic randomness
could produce such delightsome treats!
After all, is it not true that broth
is spoilt by too many cooks?
Ah, but just as a city, by one architect, designed,
displays more consistent, ordered pattern
than one, built by many;
then surely it takes less faith to believe
that from one Divine Womb, Mother Nature was born.
The majesty of baroque palace; a gothic cathedral;
Mona Lisa's soft, enigmatic face;
a Mandelbrot, replicating nature's internal fabric;
- arising from blind, haphazard chance?
Are governments; Law; Economic systems;
the sense of Justice and equity, ultimately spawned
from internal, roiling cauldrons of the quantum world?
Quest yourself as to the Ultimate Reality -
for the answer that one decides upon,
will shape and determine the individual,
then family; community; society; the world; our future!
 

Blessed-one

a long journey ahead

Yes Blessed,  I was formulating into poetic form, intending to provoke careful thought concerning the evolution doctrine, in the face of the incontrovertible evidence of a teleologically pre planned cosmos - testimony to the wisdom of the Great Creator. Thanks for your comment.
