  • 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 have demonstrated many times that you are incapable of recognizing real science.
Post a little science in your own words, and we shall see how real it is! Big talk, no action.

And you're wrong. About just about everything.
Let us talk like adults now. The baby thing gets old fast.

Scientific qualifications are a little more rigorous than that.
Rigorous, useless, clueless, pointless, godless. They are many things. I prefer things that are true.

I do not even have claims. I ask questions and probe what is known by men. That is where the cluelessness resides. God gave clues about space.

You do! You claim that the Earth is in a 'fishbowl' of space where the laws are local and that everything beyond that can't be measured or adequately describeed by science because somehow it works under different physical laws. You also like to claim that the past worked under different laws, unless you have changed your mind about that.

You shout and scream at anyone who challenges these ideas and any evidence which is presented you claim doesn't apply because of the 'fishbowl' without any evidence of your own.

That is not probing what is known by man, that is unscientific dogma which you continually refuse to change.

Please, a little consistency.

No. I look at what is known, and ask how far that extends. I ask if the far universe could be different. Either way, it doesn't matter cause at least it was in the past.

You also like to claim that the past worked under different laws, unless you have changed your mind about that.
The bible points that out.

Science is dogma. That dogma is based on a belief in present laws representing the past and future. They are wrong. Certainly in the future, according to God. The past also, according to God would just not fit our present state laws. The present is inconsistent with the past and future.

Already have done, many times. You were defeated every single time.

Rigorous, useless, clueless, pointless, godless. They are many things. I prefer things that are true.

And yet you deny everything that can be verified as true and instead prefer to base your worldview on old stories that can never be verified.

I'm beginning to think you don't know what "true" even means.

Such as?

Or denied.

You would first have to be acquainted with it to know.

Nowthen, if one assumes the bible is true, would you agree that the Tribulation events require a different state?

And where does YOUR dogma come from? Where does the Bible state that, "The past also, according to God would just not fit our present state laws."

In your view, how often does God "change the laws"?

Is this the best response you've got? You're like a little kid trying to sound tough.


Such as how radiodating wouldn't work at all if the laws of the universe had been different in the past.

Or denied.

You can't deny that there are magical fairies living on the moon. See how the fact that something can't be denied isn't actually a good thing?

On the other hand, take a claim that CAN be denied. For example, "I am a male." This claim can very easily be proven wrong. All you have to do is pull down my pants and see what I've got. You could also sample my chromosomes. It would be very easy to show that I am not a male. But the thing is, even though you can put the claim to the test, it will pass each and every one of those tests, because I am a male.

So do you see? A claim that can be tested to see if it is wrong but is never shown to be wrong is infinitely stronger than a claim that can't be tested at all.

You would first have to be acquainted with it to know.

More childish insults...

Now then, if one assumes the bible is true, would you agree that the Tribulation events require a different state?

Maybe, maybe not.

What part of the tribulation do you claim requires a different state and why does it require a different state?

It states many aspects of life before this present time and state.

In history just the once. After the flood. Sure, it also might have been different before the fall, but that is unknown.

Right, how could it?

Glad you know that much.

A same state past can't be tested.

What part of the tribulation do you claim requires a different state and why does it require a different state?
Mountains leveled, Islands all moving (reverse continental separation)...inability to die, indicative of the long lifespans again perhaps....demons and angels here on earth among men directly....etc...

You really don't get the concept of basic logic and how it applies to constructing an argument, do you?

When noting that events in the bible in a certain time period require a different state, there is no better logic than looking at the facts.
