  • 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

Thanks, it was quite interesting. At first I thought this was quite short for an hour and a half but then I noticed it was only the debate notes. One thing I always find fascinating is how evolution never seems to fair well in debates. You'd think for a theory that is always portrayed as such a slam dunk they'd be kicking creationists in the shins all the time, instead it's the over way around.

I can never tell who is winning. It has always seemed to me that being right is over-rated in any event. Witness the crucifixion.

Well in this one it is hard to tell, but I've seen countless debates over the years and have rarely found the evolutionist to be very good. There was one exception though and that's this guy named Dan Barker who, get this, was a pastor for 17 years before becoming an atheist. Sadly, he's very good at presenting his case. Thankfully the guy I watched go against him was quite good too.

I definitely can agree with you statement that being right is over-rated. It's the primary reason I don't argue much anymore, I find little to no value in being right.
