  • 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.

    Is Venus' Atmosphere better for our colonizing efforts than Mars?

    We are all familiar on how hostile the Venusian surface is to human life and we cerrtainly don't expect direct exploration of the surface by machines nor man. However, there is an a very feasible alternative. The Venusian atmosphere above its acidic clouds has a region with an Earth-like...
