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

Actually, a lot of the Christian forums on this board are...interesting. The Christian Apologetics forum (not to be confused with GA), had threads like "Where is our soul located?", "Jesus is not an alien!!", and my personal favourite, "Vasectomy sin or not?", all on the first page.

They have a page dedicated to why TE is dangerous to Christianity.

I say we all go over there and start posting evidence all at once.:)

you can learn a lot in a debate when one side has resorted to calling the other names.

I agree there is too much time spent discussing Hovind's fake doctorate and not enough addressing his unrepentant tax evasion and career as an abusive Pensacola slum lord. Also the focus needs to shift to his son, "Little Jimmy" Hovind.

I agree, his crazy escapades with the IRS and other government agencies are much more exciting than his flawed beliefs. It's kind of funny to bring up a point like "hey uh this guy you're quoting decided to stop paying taxes" and watch how his followers respond.

I once sent an email to Patriot University, Hovind's "Alma Mater" diploma mill, asking for a list of their faculty members and their areas of specialties. They sent back a reply that they were a "student centered" school and were more interested in my development.

Here's their stringent guidlines for their doctoral dissertation:

Doctoral Dissertation or Project
Minimum of 150 typewritten pages; a popular writing style is permitted for the dissertation. In some cases, permission may be granted for a project in place of a dissertation.

I can imagine his writing went something like this:

"Evolution is a very, very, very, very bad thing. It has many, many, many many mistakes."

Oh I know personally that almost, if not all of his claims have been thuroughly refuted over, and over, and over again, I just posted my opinion on the continuous use of his credentials, but now that I think about it, my post does seem unnessecary, for multiple reasons.

No, but he lies about his credentials, so it's exposing him as a liar. He's been corrected on a number of things over and over again, yet still uses the same old arguments.

It's not scientifically falsifying him, Grengor, it's exposing him as a liar.
