• 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.

Doubly wrong.
Infinitely right, evos can't do math.


The verses merely stated that the Earth was stationary. You could not justify your claim.
That is less than a lobotomized comprehension of what the verses you your self offered, thinking they supported you, claerly and undeniably talk about.
As usual you lost.
Pitiful - what is that, a self hypnosis of the utterly defeated attempt?


Fanatical hatred of God's word is not interesting, any more than shoveling the stuff and trying to get folks dirty.

A fact. I don't need fanciful reinterpretations to support me. You on the other hand do.

Here is a simple question, why don't you believe Aman's interpretation of the Bible?

if it were truly as you say, instead of going round and round, you would simply call me out on it. As I do repeatedly when you guys dodge scientists that are IDers' just because they are non evolution and not on the basis of their arguments.

Do you even know how and why ID was developed and how it shows that the DI is an incredibly dishonest source of information? You must have followed the Dover Trial. It dealt with your specialty.

all I know is in the last few posts you mention that your sources are scientific, yet macro evolution has yet to be observed so how can it even be a theory without observation of the hypothesis?

hey I had a another quick question. Do you believe Genesis is the word of God, Do you believe it is literal?

if not, then how can people be called sinners if adam was never there to begin the process of "the fall". Without being called sinners, how can someone be forgiven of sin by Christ's sacrifice, and lastly, how can one be saved with no theological roots to the fall. Granted one may in fact come upon the doctrine of original sin, and depravity by other means, but what is the ultimate point if the original sin, did not sin, because He didn't exist?

I await your response.
I wasn't going to respond to this as it probably is off topic in this forum but changed my mind.

It will take me a few days though as I have just had new carpet put in and putting things back is both painful and rather slow.

What do you mean that it has not been observed?

We can observe it both in the fossil record and in DNA.

We are not limited to your versions of observation. And remember how you dishonestly claimed that people dodged answering this question of yours? I think the problem is not that people are dodging you but that you do not like the answer.

Grady, Macroevolution has been shown and explained to you many times but you do not seem to like this and continuously reject the information no matter how much it has been explained or how valid the references.

To make it simple here is a definition from What is macroevolution? from Berkeley.edu

Macroevolution generally refers to evolution above the species level. So instead of focusing on an individual beetle species, a macroevolutionary lens might require that we zoom out on the tree of life, to assess the diversity of the entire beetle clade and its position on the tree.
As you can see, macroevolution is evolution above the species level. Microevolution is focused on the individual species and Macro on what happens after speciation.

Really, you can't get a better reference on current evolutionary thinking than evolution.berkeley.edu.

Like it or not this is the consensus view on macroevolution. Your private definition is not relevant unless you wish to take it up with the people at Berkeley.

Hopefully this issue has been put to rest.

DNA is present state so irrelevant to the origins debate. The fossils do not tell you exactly what evolved or what was created. Hilarious.

Actually they do. Of course it is beyond your understanding. But keep denying it if it makes you feel any better. There is a reason why your side loses very court case. Judges are experts on evidence of all sorts. They always find for the evolution side.

That would be demonstrated if you had any truth and a case and did more than emit oral foam. Grab a napkin, try again!

Judges are clueless, and look to people they trust are supposed to know. You are in a corner and getting desperate here apparently.

Yea, like judges are always noble.

Judges may be educated in the law, but not when it comes to scientific theory. They are hardly competant enough to be dabbling in these issues.

That may or may not be true but they are usually competent to determine what the law says and that is what was determined in the cases involved.

The courts don't have to be competent in the science, that is why they have expert witnesses.

Also in our legal system someone has to rule on questions of law and that is placed in the laps of judges.

For better or worse, it is what we have at least here in the states.

The have frauds that pose as experts but know squat about origins.

That may be how it has to be for your society on issues like killing babies, and advocating Sodom and Gomorrahism around the country and world, and keeping God away from kids etc. That doesn't affect the truth or facts of the creation issues one bit.
For better or worse, it is what we have at least here in the states.
Having advanced terminal rejectionalism is great. Hallelujah. The truth simply waits to go marching on over the ashes.



Job 12:17 - He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.


Ps 2:10 - Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.





Isa 5:20 - Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

That's right. Everyone that disagrees with dad is wrong.

Did you ever think that you may be sadly mistaken?
