  • 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

Funny how God's judgement can be defeated with some rifampin and dapsone :thumbsup:
^_^ -- Made me think of this passage:

Jeremiah 28:12 Then the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the prophet, after that Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke from off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Jeremiah 28:13 Go and tell Hananiah, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast broken the yokes of wood; but thou shalt make for them yokes of iron.


There's nothing new under the sun, is there?

So God stopped giving us leprosy once we started using antibiotics? It's almost as if God wasn't there inventing pathogens that cause human suffering...

It is the difference between being under the law and under Grace. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ. Rom6:23

If there WAS a time before the fall, there was no decay. In that present state there was no need for anything to balance anything else. It was perfect, and all worked perfectly. No decay, no disease, no death. The question then becomes, why would any bacteria be necessary?
If there was no decay, before your mythical Fall, then digestion was impossible. And if there was no death, then eating was unnecessary altogtether. So creatures din't need anything like mouths, teeth, stomachs intestins, guts etc. Spiders didn't need to make webs, as catching flies was unnecessary.

Do you start to see how absurd al your 'Fall' myth is?

No at all, since you were not there. God was. in perfection he created all things. From your standpoint you see from a finite, narrow view of what is now, which is not at all perfect.

Science and technology are the only reasons you've lived to 59.
My mother in law lived to be over 80 with no science and no technology. Lots of people get by just fine and perhaps they do better without science. My grandmother lived to be over 100 and there was never anything the doctors did for her. My dad lived to be 86 and the doctors never did anything for him. He never missed a day of work. Actually he fell and broke his hip and it was the doctors that killed him. Good he managed to live that long before he had to go to a doctor. I think that perhaps you have a distorted view as to what science is able to do for people.

Did they have clean water? Did they get the smallpox vaccine?

I rest my case.

I wasn't talking about just medicine -- I'm also talking about the benefits of infrastructure and engineering.
