  • 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.

I already did. :)
This doesn't make the quotes false.
Nor does it change anything about the decision of the church of mandatory naturalism to be unwilling to consider creation.

Naturalism can consider creationism when it can produce observable evidence. Naturalists aren't ignoring any evidence.

It isn't the fault of Naturalism that creationists have nothing but faith and bluster.

Yes it is.

If the first life was created by a deity, and all life evolved from that first life as described by the theory of evolution, what exactly in the theory of evolution would have to be changed?

I don't think I've ever seen an answer for that question.

Who are you kidding.
ToE describes nothing it just assumes "evolution did it", just meaning mutations survive selection.

Stop being childish and actually try and be a decent adult and answer my request: Show me where in the scientific literature, the ACTUAL scientific literature, that evolution states what the origin of life is, not as a hypothesis but as a theory.
And stop giving childish, one word answers.

Stop whining.
You have no position to make demands.

How is this a straw man according to you?

Because you are continually saying that evolution talks about the origin of life, and yet nowhere in the scientific literature does it make a comment on how life started.

I have every right and am in every position to make demands. So, once again: Show me where in the scientific literature, the ACTUAL scientific literature, that evolution states what the origin of life is, not as a hypothesis but as a theory.

Sure you are.
Have fun with it while you believe this.

I explained that.
It's not really my problem you're not happy with my explanation.
You can try to refute it though, but you don't want to read what i actually wrote, otherwise you would understand.

It's because 'explanation' is complete and utter bunk.
If your claim that we can't study history is correct, then all murder cases will be unsolvable.

But let's deal with it anyway:

Yes, i know the ToE is not about the assumed first life form coming into existence..

There, that should settle it.

Funny thing is nobody has any idea what this first life form should have been.
But i guess it doesn't matter, it just 'evolved' anyway into present living nature including human life.
