In the old days, we had large amounts of people actively discussing many topics. That was way before Facebook, Reddit or even Youtube(?) . I came here after Compuserve. There have been many software updates since then. This version works well. CA was the place to be back then. CA is a safe place. I suspect that many who used to post here have died or lost interest due to old age. That is the problem with getting old. Your friends all die. Keep up the good work, Stan.

I started my online apologetics efforts back when "web t.v." was available to buy. I was so impressed with it I bought my Dad one to use. Since those days I've been on multiple forums and compliment this forum for being so welcoming and allowing others who don't share the same faith traditions to share what they believe openly without being subject to perpetual attack. I've been very impressed with Stan and Pastor Matthews - you guys run a quality ship.

If you tried this in Africa, South America or Asia, in an Adventist institution, you would be bounced out of the school. That's where 85% of the Adventists live. Now it may be very true, that in NAD Jewelry is becoming more popular, but not in the church as a whole.

great points.

See Bonnie, above:

We have something in common, I don't believe in evolution either. It is easy at times tho to believe some people you meet did begin life as a different life form

It is a wise person that can acknowledge their limitations.

Something very similar happens in different species of animals.. You may think that is a joke but the joke might be on you. They cannot reproduce ,behavior in a herd setting the behavior can be disruptive and is counterproductive to keep alive. In animals there isn't any reason to try to determine if there is a dominant gender. They literally can behave as male one day and female the next I don't know about all species but sheep, goats ,angora goats can produce unisex ofspring. There are characteristics you need to be aware of in a breeding program. Polled to polled will result in a unisex ofspring. Not always, and many are willing to take the chance to eliminate a horned animal. We had in happen twice with livestock. Unisex ofspring ,neither one or the other. Once with our registered blue merle collie something with the coloring could produce deaf offspring among other deficits. Blue merle collies mated can produce a beautiful white collie that is deaf. I believe there are other deficits but at the moment cannot remember them. It was interesting in that the "unisex" offspring were absolutely beautiful. If something can go so haywire in the animal kingdom how are you so sure something cant in humans? However I think it is rarity I listened to a discussion between Charlie Kirk and a woman in the audience. She could not define what a woman was. She claimed it was whatever you wanted the definition to be and that male/female was a society construct. I don't believe it is a epidemic as people make out. When people cannot define what a woman is and they answer "depends" when asked, I personally think there is a screw loose.
