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.
The Creation/Evolution argument heats up again

This is a problem that is and will continue to stir up trouble. You can't tell a young earth creationist that the earth is older than 6-10 thousand years old. Nor can you tell them animals change over time. Yes, even humans... and we can show this today. Some of the YEC will even say the bible and science are completely compatible, yet they throw out every discovery that is contradictory to their beliefs.
The problem deal with the result of sin, with death starting to happen, and theistic evolutionists believe death has been going on before humans were ever around.
Several years to come I believe the majority (though I don't know the numbers as of today) will become theistic evolutionists b/c evolution is what is being taught in school... and rightfully so since much of the evidence points towards it.

The majority viewpoint of Christianity is already evolution. Creationists are a vocal minority and are mostly located in the United States.

Thanks for the feedback. I don't know what the numbers are. Personally, I respect one who is a YEC. Just I don't respect them when they say it's completely compatible with science. Like websites such as AiG. They disregard anything and everything that is contradictory to their belief... and then they will cling onto anything that somewhat supports their beliefs.
Just my 2 cents.

I.E self delusion, wishful thinking, and deliberate misunderstanding of legitimate science.
