• 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 is a "kind"?

In your version of English, perhaps. In everyone else's you are. We are part of everyone else, so you are a YEC.

So if I state (as I have) that this earth is 4.55 billion years old --- according you you --- I'm a YEC?

Since you state that the earth is created 6000 years ago, yes.

Your muddled concept of age, where you want to define it as something that does not imply the content of passed time but consistently fail in your intent, doesn't change that.

AV: You have mocked the fact that science is self-correcting, you have admitted that when science disagrees with your narrow interperetation of the bible then the bible is right no matter what, you have repeatedly used the term "maximum alleles" without knowing what alleles are, and you hold this silly difference between age and history.

It seems that you dislike science because it refutes almost all of your beliefs. but then you go and use a scientific term to defend your beliefs without understanding the meaning of the term. and you wonder why we dont understand you. If you should wonder anything it's why we still bother responding to your posts. I mean your ignorance and distrust of science will clearly cloud your mind from anything we say.

No, you state both that the earth is 4.55 billion years old and that the earth is 6,000 years old. (Although you try to claim you don't - but you can only do that by not speaking English.)

According to me that makes you... I dunno, confused?
