• 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

So, I know I kind of lost interest in posting here but a thought occurred to me concerning some of the more... well known creationists on this site.

Only them specifically, I think you know who I mean. I'm in no way placing their ideas in the same league as mainstream creationists.

My thought is: Could the ideas put forth by those such as Dad and AV1 actually transcend the argument of creation vs evolution and become in of themselves a kind of dadaist artform?

Are you suggesting we're a cult?

Most of my arguments are backed by either Scripture or basic doctrine.

The rest I usually stipulate is my opinion.

Is there anything wrong with that?

No. I'm suggesting that your writings can be interpreted as post modernist performance art.

No. There is nothing wrong with that. I like post-modernist performance art.

I think of it more as absurdist fiction. Like an Ionesco play.

Just out of curiosity, what's the difference here between Jesus walking on water and dad's split/merge model?

If one has come to the conclusion that God doesn't exist, isn't it just a matter of degrees?

Do you know of any others based on Scripture and basic doctrine?

I know of plenty -- Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, Episcopalian, Jehovah's Witness, ... the list go on and on.

No -- your turn.

So what are you whining about?

Then what's this:

"dadaist artform"

... if everybody's doing it?
