  • 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.

Revealing quotes from revered scientists.

For me, I always find it entertaining, to see how folks who deny well evidenced reality, try to support their position.
I think you fail to grasp what is at hand here.
Not that i expected anything other than denial
You ignored the second part of my post
No, i just disagree with all of it.

Sorry folks, but you all have nothing but lame excuses to dismiss what the prophets of the church of naturalism have admitted in public.
You're defending what they have you believe, while they confess their dishonesty.
Take it up with them, not with me.

All quotes in the OP are genuine and speak for themselves.
Have fun imagining a context in which it means something other than what it says.

Obviously i post this on a CHRISTIAN FORUM for some perspective on the naturalistic gospel of our origins.
It is not based on evidence, it is decided a priori.
So much for man's endeavour to seek truth by means of gathering and analysing evidence.

Bye.

I am a Christian and am just trying to help a brother out. You should really read the original sources of quotes you find to ensure they are in context and mean what you say they mean. Random internet websites can have all sorts of biases and really shouldn't be trusted.

Was this supposed to be yet another thread that's supposed to destroy evolution through a few quotes rather than science?
Did you even read the quotes?
The naturalist prophets admit their biasses and their refusal to consider anything else regardless of the evidence.
I can understand evolutionists have a problem with that, but they'll have to take it up with them.
So...how's that working out?
Rather good actually.
Predictable, but good.

With what?
With defending naturalist prophets who admit their dishonesty?
You should really read the original sources of quotes you find to ensure they are in context and mean what you say they mean.
What are you suggesting here?
That they didn't mean it?
That the sentences around it will indicate they're just joking?
Random internet websites can have all sorts of biases and really shouldn't be trusted.
As i said, the quotes are genuine.
If you have a problem with the content, take it up with them.

Wow, just wow at the bolded part. I am in awe of your ability to put so much irony in a post.

Also, it's fascinating how you keep resorting to religious terminology as insults. Very telling.

I can understand evolutionists have a problem with that, but they'll have to take it up with them.

Problem with what, some quotes? Firstly, they're not all from scientists and certainly not 'revered' scientists as your thread header claims which immediately casts doubt on the veracity of the remainder of the thread.

Of course you've read the source material for each one to check the quote in context...haven't you?

Rather good actually.
Predictable, but good.

Is copying a pasting a load of quotes out of context really the best you can do? I'm disappointed - I expected more.

You seem to be very confused. There are no "prophets of naturalism". This is the second time I have had to correct you on that error. And are you talking about those quotes taken out of context? Quotes taken out of context are worthless in a debate. If you think that they are of any merit then you would have to agree that there is no God since the Bible states that 12 times. Worse yet if the Bible does not mean that "There is no God" then it seems according to your standards the Bible is being dishonest.

Or perhaps you could do the wise thing and admit that taking quotes out of context is a dishonest way to debate.

So you see, joshua there are more options than naturalistic or theistic evolution.
Incorrect labels. Theistic evoution is never labeled " naturalistic." Where did you get the idea? I and other theologians do not think of terms such as natural vs. supernatural, we think of God as supra-natural, the chief exemplification of all metaphysical principles, not their negation, as per supernaturalism.
