• 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.

What do you know about the chemistry of seawater?

I have a doctorate in Polymer Chemistry. but you take a lot of general Chemistry to get there. I know enough about aqueous solutions, which is what seawater is, to know that what you are claiming does not work.

Really? That's it? What answers does he provide that Odin, Allah, Shiva, or Quezacotl do not? I smell a Special Pleading argument here....

Yes, Christianity provides more answers than any other religions. The best thing is that all those answers are tightly linked together.

No human philosophy can do that.

That is why there is something called geochemistry in addition to all other chemistry. I don't believe you had geochemistry ever.

For example, how is the water from the midoceanic ridge different from the normal seawater?

All religious believers think exactly the same of their own religion.

Wow. No human philosophy can tie answers together... how about not contradict itself... unlike the bible?

Very difficult.

If every answer addressed a major question and there are 200 such answers. I have never seen any system which could tie the 200 answers together into one clear (no self-conflict), easy to understand theme.

Christian doctrine is exactly such a system.

One would expect a little better from a perfect all-knowing, all-powerful God. But that is just my impression.

Not at all. You name one sedimentary layer to me and I can tell you how would the global flood create it.

How about the layers that have the teeny weeny craters left by raindrops?

How does a layer of silt get raindrop impacts if it is underwater?
