  This is not theme related.

  All WordPress blogs by default have comments open on all Pages and Posts as in evidenced own your own blog. You can enable and disable comments on free hosted WordPress.com blogs on this page > Settings > Discussion
  Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.

  You can also override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.

  Note: By default, new blogs on WordPress.com will have the Discussion hidden. You can reveal it by clicking on Screen Options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ on the top right corner of your Admin page, and checking the box that says Discussion so the module is included. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules

  P.S. The search box here works very well.

  Thanks again Timethief! However…

  I did indeed find the Settings/Discussion editing page

  /wp-admin/options-discussion.php

  and have unchecked every box. I still see the Comment box on the Front page.

  I also found the editing page for the Front page and found the Screen Options, and unchecked the Discussion, etc boxes. No help.

  Any other suggestions?

  The instructions I provided you with above are accurate. I have used them time and time again on multiple blogs. That is why I urge you to work through the steps again.
