Funny thing is that if the world was covered in water and storm clouds, then i imagine that much of it would freeze because the temperature would drop. Maybe not, but it seems possible.

 

[AV1611VET]

If reality contradicts the Bible, then the Bible is wrong.

Klebold & Harris gave us a piece of reality, while going against the Bible's moral compass.

Is the Bible wrong in condemning what they did?

 

[Kylie]

Yes but scientists are actually only speculating about an ice age. They mean well but i do believe that its much speculation based on their limited understanding. The world was covered in water according to scientists, only it was frozen.

Actually, even then, ice did not cover the entire surface of the world.

And the ice never got anywhere near the middle east.

But even if we grant your suggestions, what possible use could it be for Noah to have built a boat? The Ark would not have worked on solid ice...

Are you seriously comparing a high school massacre to science's search for the truth about reality?

That's real low, AV, even for you.

Yes, interesting theory. Thank you.

More than just a theory. There's quite a bit of evidence.

ANd technically, we're in an ice age now.

Yup. Again, thank you.

If we are in an ice age now, whats the problem with global warming? Is it desirable to stay in an ice age? Isnt global warming a good thing in such an age?

The problem is that humans are causing the climate to change at an incredibly fast rate, and many life forms are unable to evolve fast enough to adapt. As a result, many species are becoming extinct.

Thanks for replying.

Negatory, not for us, that is. Humans have adapted to the ice age we currently live in, as have most of the species we see today. It would be a serious blow to our ecosystem to change drastically as fast as it currently is for much longer. I don't think we would go extinct, but millions could die.

Thank you as well Sarah.

A bit like the Big Bang fairy story then - a mishmash of weird theories, held together with sticking plaster. No actually, the notion of "In the beginning God..." makes much more sense.

Don't know about the B B theory, but if you look closely at Genesis 1:1, 2 it seems like the earth existed complete at one time...... The word "the" is not in the Hebrew......
note "came to be/became" chaos and void/vacant....", almost as if a flood/destruction had occurred earlier at one time, and was perhaps destroyed by God. It seems plausible and possible I would think. Thoughts?

http://www.scripture4all.org/

(CLV) Gn 1:1
In a beginning Elohim created »the heavens and »the earth.

(CLV) Gn 1:2
+As for the earth, it became/came to be chaos and vacant/void, and darkness was over the surface of the abyss.
And the spirit of Elohim was vibrating over the surface of the waters.

https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=H1961&t=YLT
Strong's Number H1961 matches the Hebrew הָיָה (hayah), which occurs 76 times in 72 verses in the Hebrew concordance o
הָיָה hâyâh, haw-yaw; a primitive root (compare H1933); to exist, i.e. be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary):

to become, to become like

1. 1. 
      
   2. 
      
   3. to be instituted, be established

Where does the Bible condemn what they did?

 

[AV1611VET]

Where does the Bible condemn what they did?

Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.

 

[TLK Valentine]

Exodus 20:13 Thou shalt not kill.

...Unless God says otherwise -- which He often did. As Hamlet put it, "A custom more honored in the breach than the observance," indeed.

 

[AV1611VET]

You don't exactly get it, do you?

By "kill," He means "murder."

Dial M for Murder.

M-1918a to be exact.

Matthew 19:18a He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder,

Whether or not murder is wrong is a matter of philosophy, not science, given that morality is not objective. Most of why we have such a negative reaction to murder is because we are a social species, and that particular antisocial behavior would put a whole small knit group in danger of dying, even if only one person in it dies that way.

Species that live alone don't seem to care all that much if one of their own species dies. Many will even eat their own offspring if given the chance. The aversion to murder is not uniquely human either, with many social species reacting negatively to the behavior.

So the KJV got it wrong at least once.

You're the professor of literature, are you sure about that?

Or is there an exegetical key that unlocks this puzzle?

Even new converts learn this very important rule of thumb.
