• 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.

  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I'm trying to wrap my head around the life cycle of this creature. How does it reproduce? and does it die?

"It" doesn't appear to be individuals in union with other individuals.

In the PBS documentary, they proved repeatedly that it has the capability to learn and to remember... Which doesn't seem possible for a single-called creature... But has been proven using the scientific method.

Wikipedia has a helpful diagram of the life cycle, but since I'm a physicist and not a biologist, I'm no wiser after perusing this:
