• 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.

What’s in it for me?

I think you need to look at the New Scientist article, if you have not already done so, then, if you can be bothered, please read my pages on multi-level selection and group selection where I explain my point of view in more detail.

I could not get the New Scientist article but I read part of you blog post. You put an interesting thought in my brain, thank you for that. I have to reconcile it with previous thoughts and then get back to you.

Oh, and yes I think there is a combination of genes that make us want to explore new worlds.
