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.

Ohh you don’t know 1 thing about me.
Actually by your reaction, I think I am dead on with my original profile. I know enough, more than I would like to actually. You are actually quite transparent. I am still sticking to my conclusion that you are not in the Air Force (but would someday like to be-not that they are ultra picky, but I bet this is your goal). I also know that you are extemely immature-therefore, not a grown man-mentally or physically.

USAF said:
You guys are upset because I state things and wont provide you with “”evidence”” I ask you how will it change your minds
If you are not willing to provide evidence than why are you here? We know it is not to fellowship with other Christians, you are constantly degrading them. And we know it is NOT to learn science, so WHY ARE YOU HERE? Can you answer that? You want us to accept creationISM because, USAF says so?? You do not seem credible on any other topic, so why would we accept creationISM from you, especially WITHOUT evidence??

LOL! When you can post data that shows the theory is false, I'll accept it as false.

because I shouldn’t have to Lucaspa. Nor do I care to. Its not for me to state, its for you to research. I can careless if you don’t believe me, how will it change my opinion? Because a monkey-man is telling me evolution is real? It’s a theory of assumptions, and I don’t have time to assume. If you believe in evolution, than that is what you believe, but I am not that ignorant to deny God's creation. And I am rather proud to state that. And no, its not by mans fabricated evolution

Arrogance is not a Christian virtue USAF.

You seem to have plenty of time to assume its false and state that assertion over and over again. In fact, its clear from you posts that since you never feel any need to support you assertions, then it would seem that all you have time to do is assume.

USAF said:

Unless God has used evolution as His tool to create. In which case you seem content to be quite ignorant.

USAF said:

You may be proud to state it...but that doesn't mean you are right. Elsewhere, you have posted that you do not know how God has done his wonders...except that you know it was not by evolution. The contradiction is enough to show your assertions carry little weight.

BTW, Is all science fabricated USAF, or just the science that you disapprove of?

God put a great deal of effort into creating intricate rules by which the universe would run. The laws are, for lack of a better word, flawless. I see no reason for God to take a respite from these carefully layed laws to do anything. In fact, it is a much more appealing concept of God to me than one who simply "magics" things into existence.

I really don’t feel I need to support anything, why should I? I pray that one day you may see the truth my friend. I believe what God has stated, I believe what is revealed to the prophets from God. I do not believe in mans fabrication, nor mans ability to deny Gods creation and replace it by such a fabrication as evolution.

You understand what I mean. I used magic as it is a traditional term for something that defies the laws of nature. Don't get caught up in the semantics.

Sorry, but the last sentence isn't true, either. Some recent references:

Try a PubMed search on "God" and see what you get.

While science does bother to "touch" on deity, science hasn't been able to reach a consensus due to the limitations of methodological materialism.

Those papers you cited don't look all that scientific to me. I mean, terms like "worldview" and "theological reflections" and "western theology" sound like papers written outside the parameters of science.

If I had solid evidence that evolution was wrong, I wouldn't beleive it. Why else would I beleive it in the first place?

Because it saves you from having to bow down and give your life to Jesus, of course, since it's just an atheistic fabrication. Surprised you even had to ask.

If you want anyone to take anything you say seriously you should. If you want to actually have something other than zero credibility here you should. If you don't want to be banned for being a troll you should. Why bother posting here if this is your attitude? The only reason would be to troll for some self-righteous reason like painting evolution as atheism and slamming anyone who accepts the theory of evolution (Christian or not) as heretical.

Want to answer my question? How do you speak for God that a clone is not a creature of God?

Notice I said "creature of God" not "creation of God". You subtly changed terms.


To live by Gods word, reproduction should ideally only happen between a man and a woman through sexual intercourse within the sanctity of christian marriage. Creation of another human being outside of christian marriage is against Gods word and forgiveness should be sought by the couple involved. Both methods are between man and woman as laid down by Gods law in scripture. Any other form of creating a human being is an abomination of Gods wishes. Clones are not creatures of God, but creatures of man.

You went far beyond that. You claimed evolution is a false theory. It's not. You committed false witness. We are supposed to hound you for that.



Technically, a theory cannot be true or false, because it is a theory.

Are you using the layman's definition of the word "theory"?

A scientific theory can be proven false. Evolution is a scientific theory and it has withstood all attempts to falsify it.

The same can be said for Atomic Theory.

I told you already dude. there is piles of evidence for it, and none falsifying it.
where is that then dude?
well actually it is a possible outcome if you run the quantum mechanics backwards in time. still, just because we don't know how the big bang started doesn't mean that it never happened.
there are a number of possibilities dude, loigcal necessity, quantum tunneling, ekpyrotic, even God!
well we dunno how it started yet, so no worries!


Firstly, all books other than the bible as far as I know only suggests how the universe was formed, whereas the bible states quite clearly how everything was formed.

Secondly, how is it that as an atheist, you can use God in any argument at all because as an atheist God doesn't exist at all.

No it doesn't. The closest the bible comes is saying "God did it" (basically), which tells us exactly zero as to what processes were involved in how the universe was formed.
