  • 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 also accept the the entire creation is suffering because of our Sin.

Oh but you cant let it be sin that caused the problem or that would mean YOU are a sinner.

...

Something I never understood. Just how can "sin" be responsible for changing physics?

I know creationists look on themselves as model Christians and the "good guys". It is way past time for that to be challenged. Creationists are not the good guys. Creationism is not Biblical in many of its areas, is heresy, adopts atheistic principles, and sets up Christianity to be wongly destroyed. Have you ever wondered why atheists insist that the Bible must be interpreted literally? Because it is the only interpretation that can be falsified!!
I just want to say that this is so true. I was beginning to lose my faith because all I had ever been told by creationists was Genesis must be interpreted literally for you to be a Christian and I assumed that it was true, I had no reason to doubt them. Then when I came here and saw all this evidence for evolution I began to doubt my faith because, like most creationists, I equated evolution with atheism and "atheism" was winning.

The I read some information on theistic evolution and found it's actually a very vaild "belief system", it allowed me to accept modern science while believing in God. It's also allowed me to stop ignoring most threads in this forum in fear of losing my faith.

Gen 3:17,18
And unto Adam he said,Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and has eaten of the tree, of which i commanded the,saying,Thou salt not eat of it: cursed is the Ground for THY SAKE;in sorrow salt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns and thistles shall it bring forth to thee;and thou shall eat the herb of the field:....

"CURSED IS THE GROUND"[same word, actually, as Earth, and meaning the basic material of the physical creation] for thy sake."The elements themselves, the "dust of the earth," out of which all things have been made, were brought under the bondage of decay and disintigration.
