• 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.

yes, i know DNA testing can confirm paternity.
on the other hand it isn't 100% foolproof, there is a very slight chance of error.

If we compared your DNA with that of your siblings or cousins, would you expect to not find any shared DNA between you because of HGT?

Sure, something like a 1/multiple hundreds of millions. That another of the same species is the parent. You do understand that the difference between members within a species as young as humans is pretty small, right? Plants go through this testing not only to determine specific plants, but also to determine if they are an accidental hybrid, which can have an impact for many generations after the first unnatural pairing as a result of human interference putting those plants too close while they were flowering.
