  • 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.

You forget DogmaHunter,...this is a christian forum. If you don't like the concept of "the fall" ...who cares?

It's not about liking it or not liking it.

It's about it being 100% incompatible with the evidence of reality.

In fact your concept of ...no God...is pretty much nonsense.

Great, but that doesn't change the fact that a literal reading of genesis is 100% incompatible with the evidence of reality.

If a book claims that the Moon is made of green cheese, and when we go to the Moon we find that it is made out of rock, which is wrong? The book or the Moon?

If a map says that there is a 5 mile high mountain in the middle of Kansas, and a survey team finds that there is no mountain in the middle of Kansas, which is wrong? The map or Kansas?

If the book says there was a world wide flood and we look all over the earth and find evidence of it all over the world...whose wrong?

So would the concept of a guy rising from the dead on day 3....buts that's your flawed reality. As for me...I believe in miracles.

Just the concept of no God is 100% incompatible with the evidence of reality.

Indeed.

Only empiricists would mix:
  1. BC/AD
  2. the Bible
  3. Christian churches
  4. Christian literature
  5. Christian symbols, edifices, and iconography
  6. Christian organizations, schools and universities
  7. Christian programs and debates
  8. Christian hymns, carols, and songs
  9. Christian greetings and holidays
  10. Christian polls, programming and entertainment
... into a pot of Heinz-57 religions in an attempt to dilute what's all around them.

Furthermore, only empiricists would argue against a love-thine-enemy Church, using terrorist religions.

What evidence of a world wide flood and how did all the geologists, miss it?

Apparently they all didn't miss it. My post clearly shows that. I'm surprised you even made that statement.

.....then again there are misguided atheist like yourself who MUST deny the world wide flood of Noah described in the bible.
In fact, the bible predicted you..
2 Peter 3:5For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, 6and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished.

You deliberately overlook this fact of the flood.

The White Cliffs of Dover.

Haven't you been told repeatedly that the cliffs of Dover (you don't really need to include 'White' since everyone will know what you mean) had zero chance of being made by the Noahic Flood?

Two very similar races were allowed to exist on the earth around the same time period, one that had evolved and existed in little pockets around the world, and another one, very similar but not exactly the same as the others, and God "created" this one from the dust of the ground and gave him his own little pocket of the world isolated from the others, only Adam's line survived, so today we are all descendants of Adam and are thus "created" beings...

And Adam's line was considered different and separate from animal, and like God and the others were not...
Eh?

You get better results if you include the word "white"


from what i read....
It is very hard to imagine how the very high level of purity of calcium carbonate could have been maintained over millions of years without the incorporation of significant amounts of contaminate material

Yeah, but it sounds so narmy (or over-the-top for those who don't know).
And it's a lot harder to belief that a world wide cataclysmic deluge put so many coccoliths only in that one specific area of the south coast of Britain.

Who says it wasn't post flood?

from what I also read

The ocean basins immediately after the main catastrophe of the Noachian flood would have been fairly shallow and filled with massive quantities of nutrients.The microorganisms would have gone wild producing diatomaceous blooms larger than can be imagined.

Yea, sure, ok.

But the cliffs are 350 feet high. If we take the generally accepted view that the Noahic Flood occurred nearly 4000 years ago, the uplift would have been something catastrophic.
@RickG, as a professional geologist, what effects on the surrounding environment would we see if the Cliffs of Dover reached it's full height in 4000 years?

I believe so.

I seem to have forgotten though exactly what prevented God from cleaning up?

Perhaps you could refresh my memory?

And speaking of 'zero chance', what are the chances of the earth being under five miles of water one week, then two weeks later, olive trees being full-grown?

I think it says something more about your view of God that he'd intentionally do it so that all evidence of a flood he was supposed to have done all disappears. Sounds a bit deceptive, doesn't it?
And yes, there is literally zero chance of the Earth being five miles underwater for a week, then two weeks later, they come across a full-grown olive tree. It really sounds to me more like a morality tale over literal history.

No.

Why would He document it, if His intent was to be deceptive?
