  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

Would a five year old please explain this?

According to you, they've got enough know-how to explain a lot of important things.
Link please?

If Frenchy was mimicking my point about a 5-year-old, I do hope you see his mistake?

I've heard five year olds have deeper insights than adults. I'd like to get their perspective.
You want 5-year-olds posting on here alongside atheists now, do you?

What's wrong? can't handle adults?

5 year olds have a greater capacity for learning, though that's not saying much around here.
What's with the 5-year-olds all of a sudden?

Seriously, guys -- I don't think this is a bit funny.

A 5-year-old would have a meltdown under your inquisition-style 'innocent' questions.

And I think you have to be 13 or something to have an account here, anyway.

There was a certain poster on CF who intimated a five year old has greater knowledge in the field of biology than a trained professional. So I'm curious as to the insights of a five year old may have for the passage "Jesus wept."

Because you keep bringing up what 5 year olds should be able to do.
Don't bring me in on this.

There's a huge difference in saying:

  • A 5-year-old should be able to look a scientist right in the eyes and say evolution is wrong.
... and saying:

  • A 5-year-old should be able to look a scientist right in the eyes and explain evolution is wrong.
Changing "say" to "explain", then dragging me into this is a cheap shot.

Sorry, your semantics won't save you now.
