• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Because macroevolution involves a new genus?
Which arise from adaptation. Macroevolution is long-term adaptation (a.k.a., microevolution).
'Course, the problem with viruses is that they don't fall into nice, neat taxa like animals and plants do.

The same process that causes viruses to adapt to medication is the same process that causes new genera to form.

Indeed -- I even recall some discussion and debate about whether or not a virus can even be considered "alive."

Technically I would put viruses in a category of non living, biological programming entities.

Heck these things cannot do most of the things that define a living thing.

They have more in common with computer viruses than they do with bacteria.

Talk about keeping it simple eh? :D

Is this thread still going on?
Yup -- just say the word "evolution" and they'll come running from the four corners of the globe and yak all day long.

The evolutionists still have not provided any evidence for their fairytale.
Fairytale? Fairytales have things like talking snakes and talking donkeys and unicorns and people living hundreds of years and people being turned into things like pillars of salt. Just who has the fairytale here?

Evidence has been provided. You have just ignored it and presented links to nonsense on creationist websites and a dishonest video.

As good an example as we could ask for how the only way the theocreos can find to criticize the ToE is to make up ridiculous things.

Is there a name for a condition in which people tell themselves things, and then laugh?
