Creationists are told the flood is true and actually happened,

More specifically the fact that there is such a large variety of aquatic life.

What?

All of a sudden God lost the ability to populate the oceans?

After all, He populated them in one day in Genesis 1; now, all of a sudden, He can't do it again?

AV, in order to apply that as a probable cause, you first have to prove that God exists.

In order to say, the bible may have been wrong and there wasn't a flood, doesn't require anyone to ask anything of God.

Jesus already did that.

Do you know what that verse means?

I know what it literally means.

I do not know however, how you figure this circular reasoning is any kind of proof.

Let me simplify this, Wedjat --- God did it.

Wedjat · #87 20th October 2009, 12:58 AM

Yeah, you keep saying that.

Let me simplify this AV. Provide actual evidence.

So you're saying, God wouldn't leave evidence of a flood, he's omnipotent, we can leave no traces behind when he does something.

Great, good for you, way to not answer the question at all.

I'm not asking for evidence that God had a hand in the flood, or that either of them left traces. I'm asking for actual evidence of God, anywhere.
(Newsflash, the bible is not evidence of God)

You don't need evidence to have faith in god, but if you're going to assert that he caused a global flood, you need to back it up

...But. There isn't any evidence in that post. All you do is ask if people think the Flood happened, and if there is any evidence, you don't actually supply any.
