  • 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.

The scientific method has four parts:
1) Observation
2) Hypothesis
3) Prediction
3) Testing
4) Conclusion

Observation:

We find a bone in the dirt.

Please use the scientific method USING the observation above to prove that birds come from dinosaurs or everything in the universe came from nothing.

No one found a single bone in the dirt and came to these conclusions. Your straw man fails. It was put together rather shoddily and has fallen over on you leaving you trapped hilariously. Game over.

I presume you mean the fossilised remains of a bone? I also presume that you realise your error in using the word "prove" with regard to scientific enquiry? I further presume that you realise that cosmogenesis has nothing to do with fossil evidence?

Did you think this through before you gave your fingers free reign on your keyboard?

It's simple, really.

1. Observation = a bone is found in the dirt.

2. Hypothesis = birds, which have bones, came from dinosaurs, which have bones.

3. Prediction = a bird will lay an egg this spring, and it will hatch.

4. Testing = set up tree cams everywhere until a bird is observed laying an egg that eventually hatches. Compare baby bird to mama bird and log all subtle changes.

5. Conclusion = reverse-engineering these subtle changes will lead back to dinosaurs walking the earth.

Piece'a cake!

If you think that's how science works then it would explain a lot.

Sure. And if you threw in some stuff about unicorns into your process the conclusion would still match. You would still not understand the process.

5 + 4 = 9

6 + 3 = 9

1 + 1 +1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 9

1[sup]4[/sup] + 8 = 9

1[sub]4[/sub] + 8 = 9

Unicorn: An animal with one horn.

What is strange about that?!? Rhino's have 1 horn. The word of God is probably talking about an extinct animal that had a one horn.

But that's not what you're doing. I really don't like when you play games AV. It's transparent and childish.

Science says- 2+2=4

You act like science says- pumpkin+baseball= 4

Just FYI, he is a deist.

That means all God does is watch grass grow, paint dry, ice melt, Thali -- skip that one, hair grow, stuff like that.

Dang, who the heck spilled the beans? Now that you know both Theory of Evolution, and the Big Bang Theory are both derived from a bone found in the dirt, and from nothing but a bone found in the dirt, we non-believers might be in trouble. Big trouble.

As an atheist, I would appreciate it if you would just forget that you discovered this fact. Thanks.

If I said the line from Joseph to Adam was an unbroken line of little pink fairies I would be wrong.

Except my conclusion matched the conclusion of scientists, didn't it?

Too late.

The "bone in the dirt" is just an example.

Abiogensis = fraud/failed
Geologic column = fraud
Pilt down man = hoax
Dolly the sheep = hoax
Vestigial organs = fraud/hoax
Missing links = hoax/fraud

We can go down the list, it's all lies and fraud. They hire actors who cross reference and give each other credibility and the myth is upheld.

Dinosaurs were only "discovered" recently....no mention for thousands of years of civilization. Of course, they will find ancient civilizations reference dinosaurs....most of history is "created/fake". The only truth we have is the bible.

Sure, you childishly and dishonestly reached the same conclusion.

Agreeing with scientists isn't good enough, is it?

You gotta agree with them their way, or it's the highway, isn't it?

You're free to agree/disagree. I don't care. But don't play games on here. You're not very subtle.
