  • 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.

Should I put it to Evolutionists, that more often repeated difference is evidence of design?

Hi there,

So I have to be careful who I talk to, because typically people with a pre-established position, are more ready to shoot you down, than work with you. What I wanted to ask them, was: 'what is repeated difference a sign of?" In other words, when you see Jesus come back, what will you take that as a sign of?

Jesus said "no sign will be given it (this generation), except the sign of Jonah" in a sense hiding behind causation is like becoming a sign to your generation that you don't know how to believe. You are swallowed up by the "whale" of Evolution. Only by repenting of refusing to heed the command of God can free you, from the whale.

If you were to lampoon this for the sake of clarity, you would say "are Jonahs ending up on the shore, a sign of Evolution?" You see, it is the context given that makes the contrast clear? By holding fast that context itself, is relevant as a foundation, we can begin to discuss that some foundations are more worthy than others? (You might even say there are different foundations for Evolution?)

I don't know, I can trust you to take this at face value I guess - I'm not looking for a huge argument, I'm really not. The point is you are welcome to be different - if what I am saying is true: design will always flourish more, than causation alone can impart.
