• 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.

Your sarcasm caught me off-guard.

I would have expected that from most others, but not you.

But as I said, however, the Bible says you will, and I didn't heed the Bible; did I?
No sarcasm was intended AV. You used a very strong word "Repugnant". Such strong wording was uncalled for. Anyway let us leave it at that.

Alright ... I apologize.

I'm poor in the area of synonyms anyway.

How about "goofy"?

Excuse me, but the ark was a containment vessel not a "ship." (thanks AVET )

You impress the [pine] tar outta me.

Do you have a photographic memory or something?

Yes ... the Ark was one of three containment vessels called "arks" in the Bible.

Noah's Ark, Moses' Ark and the Ark of the Covenant.

All containment vessels.

Here is a telephone pole nearly buried in water deposited sediment, more specifically the lahars produced by the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo:



As far as I know, there were no telephone poles during Noah's time. Therefore, simply pointing at water born sediments does not indicate that there was a recent global flood since we observe sediments being produced now which are not from a global flood.

Secondly, you are completely ignoring the challenge. You need to describe what features a geologic formation would need in order to falsify a recent global flood. From what I have seen, no matter what features a formation has a creationist will find some excuse of how a global flood will produce it. From what I have seen, the creationist arguments are ad hoc rationalizations that are completely unfalsifiable. Prove me wrong.

We call them "miracles."

Is that like in Star Trek when they realise they can save the person with some gadget of the week which would be handy to have again next week but they conveniently forget about it?

No, we are not "assuming" current conditions. There is no reason to claim there were other conditions. Other conditions are easily debunked leaving only current ones.
