  • 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.

This one boasts a picture of a hammer, with the following excerpted from its caption:

The London Artifact is an iron hammer, surrounded by a solid mass of cretaceous rock.

There can be little doubt that this is Carl Baugh's hammer, discussed on the TO at:

though evolution-facts.org doesn't provide us with the luxury of a reference where we can check their "facts."
