• 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.

Common shapes, common features, common characteristics, common physiologies, common organs and anatomical structures, common traits, and common genes all indicate and assure common design before any common descent, common origins and common ancestry can be assumed or inferred.

Instead of Intelligent Design, creationists should point to the COMMON DESIGN of species such as apes and humans as an explanation for their homologous morphologies. After all, it's only because of their common design that evolutionists are able to classify apes and humans in the same family tree to begin with.

In other words, the question to ask of evolutionists is whether they base their theories of observed COMMON DESIGN on assumptions and inferences of shared common descent and origins, or do they assume and infer the fact of COMMON DESIGN on the basis of observed common descent, shared ancestry and common origin of species?

Homology is based on the natural control mechanisms. In the mammalian species, there are only 20 amino acids. Mzny of the functional proteins are common to rats as well as to humans. Structure and function demands this homology. This is uniquness of creation. The evolutionists jump here to claim OH" look this evolved from this and so on. Sameness is not the same as similarity.

Still, homologous structures and functions common to organisms are the basis of their being included in nested heirarchies and such organisms may be referred to by creationists as being of COMMON DESIGN.

Evolutionists don't like the word, DESIGN, because it implies a DESIGNER, yet they depend on the recognition of the COMMON DESIGN of organisms, and use it, in order to taxonomically place COMMONLY DESIGNED species in nested hierarchies in INTELLIGENTLY DESIGNED phylogenetic trees.

Otherwise, the modern phylogenetic trees which Darwinists rely on may not be said to be INTELLIGENLY DESIGNED.
