  • 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's Next?

Lose their minds perchance? Selective blindness does seem to indicate an inexorable drifting in that direction.
And 2 Thessalonians 2 suggests the very thing

Not limited to scientists, though

You're right
It isn't fair to blame scientists alone

I am sure AV is referring to all those who are self absorbed in their self-wisdom

Who look to make a name for themselves but do not acknowledge the sovereignty of GOD in all things

The reason that they tend to perceive any mention of a scientist as being of the non religious kind is because they find the combination of being religious as well as a scientist incompatible. In fact, they consider such a scientist, no matter how brilliant he might be, as being intellectually flawed.

No! Not at all. Especially since a significant percentage of the public follow the scientist's lead in selective blindness.

Im beginning to see that
And so when these "brilliant types" lose something (make a mistake) who and what do they attribute it to?

Or do they just try to cover it up hoping no one will notice

Who are "they"? Why are you trying to perpetuate this ridiculous notion that science and religion are in opposition? You know perfectly well a huge number of scientists also claim a religious affiliation.

Person, city, tribe, race, continent, planet ... what's next I wonder? :eek:

City: Vatican, or Geneva
Tribe: not touching
Race: not touching
Continent: FOUND ONE mostly submerged under Mauritius. 'Lost continent' found under Mauritius - CNN.com
Planet: We lose this earth and exchange it for somewhere else - by exploration or by force (most probable - pollution, climate change, GTNW, a brown dwarf companion star, asteroid impact, Thanos, etc.)

Claiming a religious affiliation means nothing in Academia.

It may mean something to the person - it may mean more than a label holder for the purposes of adding theistic credibility to their academic answers (for example.)

But, mere affiliation means absolutely nothing. And, we know this because scientists are humans, and many humans who claim that they cast out demons, and worshipped God will be REJECTED because they were worshipping images and beasts.

Oh that's good

Because when 2 Thessalonians 2 does indeed happen they won't be that confused

Is it?
It's actually in service to those who are wise in their own eyes

It's a tribute to the Nebuchadnezzers of this world

And a possible help for them

I'm not really following you there. Maybe my wording was ambiguous, I should have said a huge number of scientists are Christians, Muslims, Hindus etc.
