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.

No, you are quite right, but for the wrong reason. Morris' creation science writings are an excellent representation of intellectual dishonesty. And just in case you don't know "intellectual dishonesty" is where a person arrives at a predetermined end with pick and choose information and discarding all the other information that shows that end to be invalid. This is one reason we have the peer review process in the mainstream scientific community, which is not seen in the creation science community.

I gave you guys a chance to highlight his "intellectual dishonesty," in two of my favorite examples; and frankly, I don't think you guys could.
You just highlighted something in read, gave me some technobable about it, and probably expected me to agree.

I did not see any technobabble, I did see remarks that were above your ability to understand.
When you don't understand something why don't you ask for clarification?

Well, I must have missed it. I'm not on here 24/7 like some people. I think what you are not understanding is in the definition of intellectual dishonesty I described, he ignores everything that invalidates his claims, as do all those who originate creation science literature. Another term to describe it you may recognize is "cherry picking". Cherry picking is quite a bit with climate change deniers as well. Either way, it amounts to being dishonest with ones' self, i.e.; intellectual dishonesty.

Forgive me if I missed it, but did you ever answer the question concerning your view that God did not exist before the universe and that God didn't create the universe?

I may be wrong but I don't think that RickG claimed that.
Perhaps you should quote him instead of trying to use a botched paraphrase.

Actually I made a correct paraphrase. Don't you remember? You never found a difference between my paraphrase and the actual quote in the discussion on the other thread.
I just claimed that you did an incorrect paraphrase here.

You're wrong.
RickG: "Genesis is not factual. God did not precede nor create the universe."

Of course there's a difference in meaning between your now claimed paraphrase and the actual scripture.
Jesus didn't say what you 'paraphrased'.

That is not a proper quote. Where is the link to his quote? If you are too lazy to quote you should at the very least give page number and post number.

Yes he did. He did not say what I said word for word, but since we are dealing with translations here he did not say what was said in the translation word for word either.. He spoke in Aramaic and not English.

What do you mean it's not a proper quote?
First, are you claiming that I've misquoted RickG?

No, Jesus did not say what you claimed. Your paraphrase was in error.

Strange, no one else seems to think so. When you just quoted the verse again and you made your foolish statement it looks like you were the one that got the meaning of the verse wrong.

When you quote someone it is standard behavior to include a link to the quote so that others may check your work. If you don't do links then you should not be arguing on the internet. Or at the very least you should avoid quoting altogether.
