• 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.

  • 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 wrong with evolution?

Your first point is only valid if the bible is a factual account, which it isn't: it's a collection of allegorical stories written entirely by men in an attempt to explain who they are and where they came from.

Survival of the fittest would be better explained with by saying "survival of those who adapt to changes better". Natural selection is a part of this in that it is those who survive, adapt and are able to breed who have the best chance of making it.

Your third point is just an argument from authority: to say that Jesus said this is that is immaterial because of the likelihood of pretty much all of it having been based on a minor character from Judea, with his words being added later as people edited and altered them to suit the early development of the christian mythology.

Your last point is another silly argument and also one for the trash heap. Saying god or any other deity declared whatever to be whatever makes no difference. Besides, a discussion about evolution is not theological in any way shape or form, so theology should be left out of it. You should try sticking to basic scientific facts and principles.

haha, i just read this from the first page;
  • God created the earth before the sun.
  • Evolution has the sun before the earth.
  • God created the birds before the land animals.
  • Evolution has the land animals before the birds.
  • God created plant life before the sun.
  • Evolution has the sun before the plants.

    oh my does that have some inconsistencies

    god created the earth before the sun, how? the earth needs the sun to survive. and without the sun, what the hell is anything in this galaxy revolving around?


    and the part about the plants being before the sun, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH do you guys know about photosynthesis? there would be no plants without the sun, therefore the sun HAS to have come before the plants.


    and also, one more point about evolution, if the earth was created 6000 years ago by this dude god, EXPLAIN THE DINOSAURS, HUH, scientists have proved that they were around about 50 million years ago, sooooooooooooooooo i think god missed the boat by about 49,994,000 years.

I'll refer you to AVET for a fully hilarious explanation of this.
