• 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.

This maybe disprove god but what do you think of it?

don’t know, that seems to be a creationist meme. If you mean that a lot of organisms eat others well that’s they way living organisms act. Fungi and bacteria eat plants and animals and vice versa.

Episcopalians don't believe in a Creator...huh...

*And evolution has nothing to do with death...far as you know...

Episcopalians are Christians, of course,they believe God created the universe . Belief doesn’t have anything to do with science. Science is based on verifiable evidence and my faith accepts mainstream science. What is the point in believing in a fantasy if the God you worship hates lies.

Ah, thanks so much, I just wrote what I thought, well I was just thinking if it all started with normal life sort of that there wouldn`t be any god, but god could have been before that again of course
Agreed. Actually, to be God, that is, First Cause, logically there can be nothing even concurrent with him (for example, there cannot be two First Causes, because if both were sovereign firsts, there is still the overriding principle of "two-ness", that both are subject to, and First Cause cannot be subject to anything else. First Cause is not an effect, but ONLY cause.

There is no science in your post

Science is nothing more than an intellectual tool for classifying things...ummmm...the first Adam already did this...

Irrelevant. That branch of science dealing with classification of life forms is taxonomy. The challenge I set you was to "demonstrate why, taxanomically, humans are not in the Hominidae". If, as turns out to be the case, you were unable to do so, the honest thing would have been to say so at the outset. Instead you make a series of posts that are quite irrelevant to the challenge. You waste my time, your time and that of our readers.

I have given the reasonable explanation that Adam (the first bonafide scientist) has classified (taxonomated...that a word?) already...and he didn't call us apes or hominidaes...nor did he call those animals man...so...

Honestly...anyone can call anything what they want...which science does freely...I tend to not accept all such labels...


*But all that has been said in these last several posts, is beside the point which @Brightmoon has yet to address...
