  • 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

IMO the Bible should not be worshiped as a false idol, and a "reality check" with respect to one's personal interpretation of various passages is warranted and useful.
In my opinion. I've seen nothing in the Scriptures to give license to the notion that we can pick and choose which potions of it we wish to believe and which we wish to reject. For all the self-indignant proclamations from those who reject even parts of the Bible which Jesus affirmed, not one person has ever produced chapter and verse to give support for ala carte' faithfulness.

Jesus didnt have access to the scientific evidence and reasoning that we do. He probably thought the myths were literal.
After His baptism, Jesus was revealed to be the Son of God. So the son of God fell for a myth despite actually being there for the events?
Everything in the Bible should be rejected because it doesn't conform with what you've chosen to believe?
How sad it must be to be a member of the Holy Trinity and yet not know as much as an internet poster who knows nothing of the Scriptures he is disparaging.

I think hessonear cut class for about 3 years, or about the length of a geochemistry degree^_^
You like whitewash. You fell for it, not knowing better from Rick.

Know you know why nothing like this was placed in Ricks many treads. Like you, there is elitism and scorn and scoffing

But the the pics display things to observe, Mate. Things you and Rick cannot whitewash

The depositional energy for the sand and organic matter to be deposited are at at extreme ends.

The coal requires time to accumulate, decay, and compress, along with anaerobic condition of little to no oxygen, yet the pic show sand and mature coal are both are touching each other. Those are just a few items to note.

John 17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
They will have much to answer for.

Christ could have been speaking in the custom of the people. Many ministers today talk about Adam and Eve, yet do not take the Genesis account literally. The story of Adam and Eve is rich in meanings other than presenting a scientific account of creation, which it does not do.

And your evidence is a pretty picture, any actual scientific papers?
