  • 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

Yeah more discussions where one or two creationsists Got mobbed, or they didn't even attempt to answer for fear of being mobbed.

Stop whining. When I came here I was a staunch YECist, and I endured the ridicule. But if you stick with it and approach this stuff with an open mind, they will become friendly.

Does anyone have the thread concerning Genesis -- why it was written the way it was, and why it can still be meaningful without being literal?

I believe the thread discussed, among other things, the poetic structure and the relationships to the Babylonian pantheon...


I remember discussing that, but it wasn't the main topic of the thread and I forget what was. Most of it was taken from Richard E. Friedman's book Who Wrote the Bible?
