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

The Discovery Channel had a series of documentaries about Savant People( certain people who may have disabilities with extroadinary mental abilities). The most famous savant is Kim Peake. He is super smart but was diagnosed menatally retarded. There's another guy who is a math savant. He's a math genius and also can learn a new language in one week. There are many others they talk about as well. I'm very interested in Savants. To me this doesn't support Evolution but more of Creation. Only God knows the limits to the human mind. So He does this by using certain people to illustrate that.

Well if someone who was trained in Evolution, they would probably think that. But since i'm a Christian, I believe God just wants to show off.

The Discovery Channel is one the most pro-evolution networks on tv so they are really careful trying talk about evidence of Creation and other forms of God's handiwork.

Ok, but that dosn't answer the queston.
How do Savants Support / Not Support Evolution ?

I’m not “trained in evolution” but you comment about savants disproving evolution does not make sense and you are not backing up your claims with any sort of proof.

So unless you are just making stuff up, would you care to elaborate on your comment that savant support creationism.

Ok, I'll rephrase the question.

How dose the fact that someone is able to MEMORIZE (They arn't born with the knowlage) Every everything about presidents (birth/death, term in office, names and birth dates of family members, cabinet members, etc.) Prove or Disprove Evolution ?

Okay maybe I didn't mean to ask my question like that. I was just saying from a Christian point of view God could use Savants to show some of his glory. Ok is that better?
