• 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.

I will restate it.

"Limitations that some empriricists are loathe to admit to."

To substantiate this, I will simply refer you to the sundry posts made by the champions of empricism's omniscience in these very forums.

This might be a reference to my other post, but it's still as irrelevant now as it was originally to whether the proof exists of the thing we're talking about.

Then refer to them - cite specific posts, please, wherein an empiricist is loathe to admit that empiricism has limits.

Oh, please!

Why do the people feel the need to disprove evolution with some pseudo-scientific nonsense? You will never win a scientific debate with anyone reasonable schooled in biology. And I can't see the point of it, christian belief has never been about factual claims about physics or biology.

The christian God is not an intelligent designer. He can't possible be. Because this world is not very intelligently designed. God is an artist. He created a free world out of pure joy not because he wanted to impress someone with this "super-intelligent design" of his.

Nor, indeed, to create a world without suffering. If his making the human oesophagus and trachea adjacent was an artistic whim, then he doesn't sound like a being that should be worshipped.
