You might want to read your post again, then.
There is very little scientific support for that. Although they do not rule long lifespans out. The passage in the Bible where people will live to be 100 during the reign of Christ, seems to be coming true. The average age in Jerusalem is already up to over 80 years of age.
So God DID limit himself to the laws in the different past state.
What you dismiss as "special intervention", I would argue are the mechanisms God used in creation.
Well, that is both really convenient for you, and utterly ridiculous to claim "no written records" when the ONLY support you have for this ridiculous theory is a SINGLE ancient text (translated dozens of times mind you)Plenty happened I suspect. Man no longer could communicate for one thing. As in Babel. Continents separated. But of course this was at the time when we could not communicate so expect no records
Under no circumstances is that even close to true. You've created some comforting theory that has no evidentiary support; even in the Bible. You approach ALL information with your comfort theory and make things fit into it. As the Bible is incredibly vague, it's REALLY REALLY easy to make it fit to what you want it to. If it is impossible to fit the new information into your comfort theory, you seem to not admit it's existence (see Elendur's post and your exclamation that he quotes).
If you sincerely believe that BUT can only give two ridiculous examples of how "the change" affected people, you are delusional and ignorant in an embarrassing way.
The Sumerian records tell of long lifespans. They are of course pagan records, so one would not look to them for detailed accuracy. But they do agree with the biblical amazing long lives enough to be evidence. The spirits of Egypt also, even early kings were said to be gods and spirit beings! The bible also indicates that spirits married women here.
Who are "they"?? Science? They have no possible clue.
Absurd. It actually cites an exception to long lives again coming, where if a poor guy dies at 100 somehow, he will be considered a child still. To claim that indicates how long men will live displays a stark lack of comprehension.
No. But He limited man. The different laws of creation week also can be traced forward clear on past the flood.
The different laws of creation week also can be traced forward clear on past the flood. How God created doesn't matter. The way nature here worked matters.
Far from ridiculous, it is obvious that in a world that just had all men confused in languages and unable to talk to each other for the most part, that written records would not exist in abundance. Who knows if there even was a need to writing when we all understood everyone?
What is not true?? You ain't deep, you just ain't clear.
False. The advantage of science is that we have more facts and evidence to explain. Like the separation of continents, fossils, stars...etc etc. With God's word to man, real clues can be had. I kid you not.
Simple. The present natural world is fine. All well and good and set up by God for us. Lots of wonderful things about nature even now. The laws we have here also are Jim Dandy. They work fine. However, the present nature is clearly temporal, so I wouldn't get so hung up on it that you put it before the creator. That is the name of the so called science game!
There is a lack of understanding here that I cannot clarify and, given I'm trying to get you to understand what you are saying, I figure I'll just let this argument go.
1) How this world came to be is one of the biggest goals of science. So, I'm not surprised you dismiss it so roundly.
So I guess the Bible is not a written record?
I just do not know where to begin.
I wasn't talking about "truth" I was talking about your M.O. in discussions about the past.
I KNOW what the advantages of science are. You do NOT have them behind your argument. You do not even have God's word.
In all the ways history and the bible detail. But you need to look at what science knows. That doesn't include the state of the past.
If they wanted to get a clue how God dunnit thay shoulld not leave Him and His word out of their little knowledge pool. They have no hope now. Get over it.
It came...when? Long after the tower of Babel.
Just thought of that now? Maybe try to think of it before posting next time?
What about them?
If you claim to have them backin you up, let's have a look see!
Wow. Even when I humoured you AND actually made an effort to understand your position, you still managed to obfuscate.
Try supporting it, rather than conducting the vaguemina monologues.
I try to spoon feed evos, since their retention quotient is limited.
It doesn't indicate it existed at all! Guess you better prove it if that is what you claim.
