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.

From post #210:
Many people in America want to know where food is from ( maybe you could care less, I have no idea).

No, I look at brand names like Libby’s at dollar tree or Clover Valley at Dollar General. I should have specified this pertains mostly to canned fruit and I have seen a shift from US grown to PRC grown. There has been an increase of no specified place of origin also; there I have to take my chances.

Safety Concerns: Chinese Imported Canned Goods | Independent Women's Forum
Chinese products don’t have to meet American safety standards, labeling requirements, and U.S. labor practices, all of which increase the costs of production for American companies.

It’s surprising that Tim Walz’s home state of Minnesota is just a medium blue. And it’s more surprising that Texas is just medium red.

If not Catholicism then What?

We were not made to get through life by ourselves. We need something outside of ourselves that steers us away from the rocks of despair on the one hand, and the vanity of egoism on the other. We are complex beings and need an array of safeguards because there is a multitude of ways in which we can fall.
An enemy awaits for every need we have. If we believe only in ourselves, we fall into the abyss of pride; if we believe only in others, we are untrue to ourselves. If we dedicate ourselves only to work, we forfeit the benefits of play; if we dedicate ourselves only to play, we lose sight of life’s meaning. We need a great deal of antidotes so that we do not fall. We must find an equilibrium that protects us from tumbling into the trap of one-sidedness.
Continued below.

Evolution (theistic other) debunked
- By DamianWarS
- Theistic Evolution
- 5 Replies
of course, the video is biased as it's a dramatization and goal-driven to refute evolution so it's no surprise it reaches it's goal. A similar video could be made from the evolutionist side with a different perspective with all the hesitations from the student, and be as equally convincing but laying doubt on creationism. The challenges from student to docent can certainly be warranted but in a scientific vacuum the conclusions are not going to be human evolution is false, but rather the collected evidence isn't conclusive. instead, skulls like Lucy show an example of an evolutionary outcome even if lucy was not a part of that history, science can be fine with this because of the strong evidence of evolution on a broader scale which is inferred over humans and evidence is sought after to fill in the gaps. This may produce flawed results but it doesn't mean the theory of evolution itself is flawed.

We provide Biblically-grounded answers to the evolution teaching in public schools. Simply select your student�s 6th, 7th, or 10th grade textbook, view the evolution topics they are being taught, then view our selected videos and documentation that address each one!genesisapologetics.com
This is a movie where a student visits a natural history museum. She questions the Docent who is explaining the supposed evolution of man from apes. It's a fascinating insight into the lengths to which evolutionists will go to push their claims. Evolutionists should not watch this. Darwin's house of cards is torn down with truth and facts.
It is important however to call out unsupported or false claims, if lucy is one of them then indeed call it out, but erasing a chalkboard of evidence doesn't refute evolution, it just disqualifies the presented evidence as a part of that history. We could be tempted to point to a literal biblical account as the answer, but, the biblical account would have to go under the same scientific scrutiny and would also break down as unsupported. Imagine a similar video at a bible college with a professor teaching creation using Gen 1 and a student refuted each claim based on scientific scrutiny. The results may conclude creation is false and then implicitly evolution is real but what it actually has done is just show the creation account breaks down under scientific scrutiny and nothing else.
so in the end you might get 2 empty chalkboards, one for the evidence for the human evolutionary chain and the other for creationism. and both may not be supported by scientific scrutiny. This doesn't assume one over the other, it means we don't have good support for either. The creationist will continue to fill in the gaps with their imagination and the evolutionist will do the same with their imagination.
