• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Desi-- God is hardly a monkey. Considering the fact that we were created in HIS image, I do not believe that God evolved men out of monkeys.

People are not monkeys either... People are made of cells. Do you suggest you don't believe God is made of cells so people must not be made of cells? You cannot ignore the obvious without looking dumb. I do not care to look dumb to my children.

Well try the former head of UNESCO Aldus Huxley who was a strong proponant of Evolution. His was a classic fo-pau statement about why evolution became so popular so quick, when asked on Public TV he said "Well I supose it was becasue the idea of god interferes with our sexual morays." As for the many examples of presently living scientists proffessors check out the debate videos at drdino.com they are classics!

As I pointed out in that other thread, this quote is frequently trotted out by Creationists, but no-one can say when Huxley said this, on what programme, who to, or anything else.

Funny thing is, according to http://evolutionexamined.homestead.com/ it was Julian Huxley who said it - although, again, there is no corroboration.

I personally think it has been made up by someone.
