  • 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.

It is contradiction that conflicts the evidence but many people have seen it the same goes for things like the Loch Ness monster,etc......

The contradiction is creations great obstacle since evolutoin is so big(tax supported)!

In Christ,

Here you go:


Hector,

What do you hope to achieve by posting that?

*To support creation and christanity.*


I am curious.

It basically accuses scientists, many of them Christians, working in numerous different fields of lying by saying that there is evidence when they know there is none.

Do you believe that such a conspiracy exists?

*Yes indeed!*

How do you believe such a conspiracy is organised?

*By Satan to destroy our faiths in the Bible.*

Who controls it?

*Satan and his demonic forces*

How have they managed to control it so amazingly well in so many different countries over so many decades?

*Satan started it with Dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs are mentioned in the Bible called names Dragons,Behemoth and Leviathan(they say these refer to elepahnts and hippos but they don't)

The word Dinosaur was invented in 1841 A.D.

When we rediscovered them he decided to trick us into thinking that they are millions and millions of years old to destroy our faith in the bible.
AND BOY IT HAS WORKED GOOD!

Then after that we satrted thinking we came from apes a comsic burp 18 bilion yrs ago,etc.....*


Questions, questions.

*Yes,Yes,Yes Ask all you want*

Not many answers, I suspect.

*Incorrect you are,many answers you will receive*

God Bless,
Hector

So Satan is doing it all?

What a busy fellow he must be, planting all those fossils and making light move in that strange way it does to indicate that the universe is billions of years old when it is not!

But why is Satan bothering with all this?

Surely he cannot care how old humans think the earth is?

After all, whether a human thinks the world is old or young has no impact on their salvation, does it?

Seems a bizarre amount of effort to go to for no return.

Here's a though - if Satan can do all of that, why doesn't he simply create a coffin with the body of Jesus of Nazareth in it and have it discovered?

That would disturb more people's salvation, surely?

This dinosaur stuff must be really wearing him out by now - all this work and yet the Cahtolic Church rolls on, the Anglican one does too, the Methodists and many Baptists.

All of them still believe in Christ.

How annoying for the poor guy.

But maybe Satan isn't as smart as you and me. Maybe he thinks that there is a connection between the age of the earth and salvation. Let's not tell him that there isn't - that way, he'll continue to waste his time.

It's a relief you and I know that they age of the earth has no effect on one's salvation. If we didn't, imagine how succesful Satan could be?

Seriously Hec, for the good of all the other creationists on this forum, you'd do better not to post. ;)

David Gould,

Believing in evoltuion does indeed damage some peoples faiths.

It is calling Jesus Christ a LIAR!

Not believing in as little as 1 part of the Bible tends to cause you lose faith and/or to lean to one side or the other(sometimes complete evolution).

When I believed in evolution I almost turned atheist(I was agnostic for a few years).
I thought the whole Bible was ignorant and archaic and I stoped reading it.
I had NO IDEA that I was calling Jesus Christ a liar!

When it is taught in public school it turns many children away from the Bible,like it did to me and lots of other people I know.

Many people do not know very much about these ethics.

Seesaw,

Satan did not create dinosaurs he tricked us when we the re-discoverd them.

And I have no probelm with hearing that you choose not to believe me,after all its a free world.
If it bothers you then stop reading my posts,I'm not here to hurt you.

In Christ,

Hector

Hector, you're painting with awfully broad strokes. Please address us non-YEC Christians and tell us why we're calling Jesus a liar. I mean, doesn't calling someone a liar have to be an intentional act? I worship Jesus! I may or may not have wrong beliefs, but in any event, I'm not "calling Jesus a liar." Don't be so dramatic - it's dishonest.

Didaskomenos ,

Its not dishonest

Lord Jesus Christ said we originated from the six day creation as stated in Genesis and our ancestor was Adam.

I think its stated somewhere in:

Mark
Luke
John
Coranthians

I know,ITS SOMEWHERE!

The Bible is the infallible scripture our God!
When you believe in evolution you contradict what our savior says!

It may be rough to handle but its true!

In Christ,

Hector

So you know its somewhere but you do not know where?

Uh huh.

And let us say that Jesus said that we came from Adam. So? Adam was the first being with the ability to commune with God, that's all. No contradiction.

And let us say that Jesus said that the earth was created in 6 days. I believe Jesus occasionally spoke in parables, using metaphor and poetry. Why not this time?

No contradiction.

For a person who places so much emphasis on a specific interpretation of the Bible over any and all sound reasoning and evidence, but does not even know what verses back up his claims, this really makes that person look overzealous and dishonest. :(
