  • 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.

Today's example of creating a mountain from a molehill of evidence.

This JUST IN! Breaking news! (Your typical online clickbait so prevalent in ALL media today.)
A tooth found in a cave in Laos is revealing more about the mysterious Denisovans - CNN
Here we have the discovery of one tooth. Look at all they assume from that tooth that they admit is badly preserved. This is a great example of evolutionary archaeology. And thinking people actually go along with this. Is it any wonder evolution is so easily accepted today, even after we know so much more than before? People's blind faith in science is preventing them from stepping back and just looking at the situation pragmatically with common sense. As Shakespeare would have said today, "A bone fragment does not a skeleton make!".

Yes. Many of the sketches we see of early men are actually based on conjecture or conspiracy ie they wanted to sketch faces that look half-man and half-ape.. The idea of "early men" is only conjectures. Yes some ancient people lived in caves and use hunting tools, but these does not mean they lived or evolved in the way described in theory of evolution.

Evolutionists believe that humans are descended from apes and they have been looking for the “missing link” between these two species. They claim that some fossils have transitional features between ape and human, such as the Hesperopithecus (Nebraska man), Pithecanthropus (Java man), or Sinanthropus (Peking man). However, these remains were not discovered with entire skeletons intact, far from it. For the Nebraska man, the finding was a tooth (only), which was initially thought to come from a higher form of primate (a family of monkeys) but later re-classified to belong to the pig families. The Peking and Java man turned out to be fully human and not ape-men. There were other discoveries as well, but none concluded that humans and apes were linked genetically. Although there are sketches of pre-historic people which are deliberately drawn to resemble apes in order to lend support to the theory of evolution, however, but this does not mean that they really used to look like that.

In 2014, the discovery of Skull 5 in Georgia (Europe) was published. It was the first complete skull of an ancient human or human “ancestor” (assuming there was one). Being fully intact, it allows archaeologists to see it as it was, eons of time ago. And it surprised them. This ancient skull has very little variances from those of humans today. This fact differs from theories which claim that ancient skulls of human ancestors would be different in size or form before they gradually evolved into the present state. Of course, the debate is far from finished, and future findings from the same archaeological site in Georgia, where there were more skulls and bones, might shed more light on this subject.
