  • 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.

Would someone please prove that creationism is not a crock,

TA, we will have to agree to disagree.

Unfortunately, your understanding of ToE is only what creationists tell you it is. Your previous posts reflect this fact. I know because I have fully investigated creationism (i.e. read books, videos, debates, lectures, etc.).
I also have fully investigated ToE (B.S. Biology, and it's a hobby of mine).

So, I fully have an advantage over you when it comes to the arguments. I would recommend you read a book written by an evolutionary biologist to understand what ToE really is (don't worry, it won't shake your faith, in fact, you might be a little surprised, even shocked when you find out what ToE really is). If you would like a few book suggestions, I can point you in the right direction.

BTW, you still have not answered how creationism postulates that a bird that cannot fly and was specially designed to live in antartica, made it all the way there from from present day Turkery after the flood.

Patiently waiting your reply.

Peace

Actually since I was born on a Saturday and was taught by a woman; I do and can remove the evil eye. I do it all the time. Greeks are very good at removing evil eyes. LOL:wave:

All I can really say is this..
I believe in creation because I believe in GOD. His word hs never changed, and the wondeful part of that is, when so many scientists, astronomers, and highly educated people have been wrong, we can look back in the word of GOD an it is there, in black and white, plain as day.
When it was thought the earth was flat, the word told us, it is round. When they said there are around 600 stars in the sky, the word said they are innumerable. HIS word has never been wrong.
I believe in creation, because I have faith in HIS love, and like I know the love from my family is real, although I cannot see it, I can feel it, and I know it is real.

One other thing I want to state. For those that have been fooled by the evolution theory. Evolution does not even qualify to be a theroy. A theory must be tested and retested, wth conclusive results that indicate if it can become a theory. And a therory cannot be proven right, but can by trial be proven wrong, and over the years evolution has changed repeadly.:prayer:

It's still possible to believe in both. And "they might be wrong" isn't really a strong argument for believing in the opposing concept.

When it was thought the earth was flat, the word told us, it is round. When they said there are around 600 stars in the sky, the word said they are innumerable. HIS word has never been wrong.

Erm, I'm fairly certain that scientists since some of the oldest civilisations have insisted that the earth wasn't flat. And the Bible doesn't outright state that the Earth is an oblate spheroid either, it takes some creative interpretation.

Innumerable stars? There's certainly a finite number. And I'm not sure where you're getting your 600 figure from either, anyone with eyes could see there were more than 600.

I believe in creation, because I have faith in HIS love, and like I know the love from my family is real, although I cannot see it, I can feel it, and I know it is real.

I believe in evolution because I had faith He did it that way too. Stalemate....

A theory must be tested and retested, wth conclusive results that indicate if it can become a theory. And a therory cannot be proven right, but can by trial be proven wrong, and over the years evolution has changed repeadly.:prayer:

Care to give some examples, then? There's plenty of evidence supporting it. Look up endogenous retrovirii (ERVs).

"Evolution has changed repeatedly" - yeah...that's kinda how science works, if one version of the theory fails to explain what is seen, it is corrected. That doesn't always mean the lot has to go foundations and all - it might just need some minor tweaking.

And I notice that even by your own evaluation evolution hasn't been proved wrong, it's just been changed repeatedly, so I'm not seeing what the issue is here.

I honestly feel sorry for all the victims who have been fooled by all the false religions all around the world. Earnest people, needing something in their lives that the religion offers to provide, putting their trust in self styled holy men. All of the religions pretend to be the one true one.

Maybe there is a true one, maybe there is a god. Who has it figured out which is the true religion, who has it figured out what is the true nature of this god? For anyone to say that they KNOW God... and sciencd... well enough to say the KNOW God did not make the world THIS way bot did make it THAT way, well, that strikes me as a very unsuitably presumptuous and self satisfied. Maybe it isnt... just looks that way to me.

Hespera sez...If you care to learn, I can show you that your ideas about evolution are mistaken. Im not saying i can "prove' it is right, but, the reasons you give for not accepting it are actually meaningless. it would be equivalnet to me... knowing nothing, say about Christianity... <edit>
Ypu might say that it is up to me to believe, or not, but at least understand what it is I am believing, or not believing... <edit> See?

The reason that i do not believe in both is because of the anatomy of the eyeball. The sense of sight could not have evolved over time, it had to happen all at once, so I truly think that whe GOD made it all the first time, it hasstayedhat way since.

yes, i'm sure there were. but for many that claimed otherwise the LORD aready le us know in the word. Job 26:10

that is my point, how much tweaking do we have to do withhe word of GOD? none. It is true and unchanging just as HE IS. I will not put any faith in evolution, because it is wrong to many times, man created it, man is wrong, and it will always change..

thanks for your postsCabel

Ypu might say that it is up to me to believe, or not, but at least understand what it is I am believing, or not believing... the old man with a beard story is meaningless. See?

thank you for your point. Like you point out, I also feel a need in pointing out what I do not believe in, and I do know a bit about evolution, whichhas helped me in my conclusion about my disbelief. But, I should apologize, because for other's who believe, then it is there righ to do s, I just do not.

In all honesty what hope is there for the US when most of it's people think like this?
it must drain the others of any hope whatsoever, how can this happen? or be allowed to happen?
the lack of education breeds religion, the US must be a con mans paradise, so many gullable people.

people say that, but we would not have entered WWII if it was not for our own benefit, and it was. Think about this, if europe fell the embargo on japan would have been hard impossible to mantain, Hawaii would become a japanese base and we would be attacked from both costs simitaniusely.

Your funny if you think amarican involved itself in the war for any other reason then to save our own backsides.

It was in our best intrests to do it, so we did it.

Consol is absolutely right when he points out the lack of erudition rampant in American society. When a nation has the capability of totally destroying this planet and that nation is ruled by people who yearn for the second coming and dismiss science at a whim; then Yes this world should worry! By teaching young people that science is invalid compared to the teachings of the bible then America is doomed to relieve the stoneage. You may have Helped in WWII But others also paid with their blood to fight the Nazis(Russians, Brits, Dutch, Poles, Serbs, Norwegians, Greeks, etc).

Teaching Creationism in school is no different to the Talibans enforcing Sharia law on society. America is creating Christian Talibans.

Religion and science DO NOT MIX! you may try all the emulsifiers known to man but the end result will still be Empirical evidence vs stone-age goat herder's superstitions:wave:

Great Britain should never have conceded the colonies in the Americas. I would rather have the yanks say "God save the Queen" than "God save America". Very bad form on the part of the Brits. Really now! Whatever happened to "For King/Queen and country"?:D:wave::p

first of all, where in the American school system is creationism taught?

second, you do realize that the U.S. has been a pioneer of using science to make the world a better place for the entire 20th century, right? From the automobile, to the airplane, the telephone, television, light bulb, sending a man to the moon, etc., the U.S. has led the world out the stone age into the modern age.

the fact that the U.S. has a religious history hasn't been a problem at all. :thumbsup:

In a way. Pearl harbor sold the war to the people but it also showed that if Europe fell to Germany that we would be fighting a war on both the west cost and the east cost.

Also it conveniently got us out of the depression. So no we diden't just save Europe out of kindness as you suggest. we did it to save our own butts.

I am also willing to bet that you diden't know that the president Knew that pearl harbor would be attacked, but we let it happen to anger the people into accepting a war in a time of local peace. I can think of an event not to long ago that is remarkably similar.

Seems that times dont change do they?

wars are still fought under false pretenses.
