• 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.

Why are you here?

I'm not new people, but can I say anyway?

I'm here for a couple of reasons - to learn, and also for my amusement. I rarely have much to say, since my limited knowledge in things scientific is not worth exposing. There are others here whose knowledge and articulation are far superior to my own.

Sure everyone is welcome to respond, esp. you :)

But we may ask you to explain how the kangaroo got from Noah's ark to Australia :) Just kidding.

Sure, I'll be happy to explain!

Qantas. Flight from Tel Aviv to Singapore, and then straight to Sydney. No issues with baggage, although the tougher security meant a thorough search of the pouches. :)

To further my understanding of biology and all that kind of stuff. For every creationist arguement is there some intresting reason that shows that the creationist arguement is faulty. Discovering these before we are teached about it in class makes me a top student. Not very alturistic...

Indeed, researching and countering creationism gives an excellent overview over a number of fields of science.

I'm here because I believe that creationism is harmful to evangelism and to faith, and therefore it is important that people understand it's a fringe view and not essential to Christianity in any way, shape or form.

I love talking on this forum because i honestly learn alot from people who know TONS more info than I. I feel though that creationist and evolutionist are constantly fighting this unending battle of evolution/creation but at the same time allows the doors of knowledge to shine. I enjoy everyone who particatipes on these threads because each person, no matter how small or big, brings something special to the table. A view not thought of before, an expertise per say. I love talking with each one of you.

I am here to observe the species Homo Sapiens Christianus in its natural habitat. Hopefully, I may be able to tag a few specimens; capture them; and examine them from the confines of my lab. Then, when the time is right, I will set them free. Perhaps through domestication, we may one day observe herds of free range Christians thundering across the plains of our great nation.

And so those here to straighten out all the misguided Evolutionists or Non-Christians will mean you and they are cancelled out, correct? Since it is quite evident that neither side will budge and is more or less here to discredit the other . . .

I cant say that I am here (consciously) to, as a Christian (some would call it "Thumper") straighten anyone out. I do enjoy discussion with multiple viewpoints , however "discussion" is not what seems to most often happen here.

And am likewise not all that learned in the sciences (I'm a busybody, don't like reading too much), and hence try to restrain myself from posting foolishly, and beseech others to do the same :p

People keep forgetting that this is a science forum also, and we are allowed to talk about things other than the usual evolution/creation discussion. Although there does not seem to be anyway to get away from it if you want to post on here.

I'm here because I saw JohnR7 and others quoted so many times on the 'Fundies say the darndest things' website. I just thought I'd see the masters of funny one-liners in real-time message board action.

Quite frankly....I'm here because I enjoy the spirited debates, and it passes the time when I'm bored.
