Evolution is just a theory!

[Colter]

As I said, there were no genetic deficiences when Genesis 1 comes to a close.

God pronounced everything that existed, including the gene pool, 'very good.'

No, the human story tellers used that expression in one of the creation stories used by the Hebrew priest when they were writing and rewriting their exaggerated history.

 

[Colter]

To answer your question: yes.
To ask a question: what is the picture supposed to prove?

The flood was a devise used by the Hebrew redactors when they were trying to trace their bloodlines back to Adam. Unable to do so they decided to drown the whole world in its wickedness. They didn't claim to be writing Gods word. They were appealing to a dejected, scattered audience. It worked.

Again ... what Hebrew priest?

Adam wrote Genesis 1 & 2.

And he wrote Genesis 1 & 2 in [King James] English.

Are you trying to suggest that Noah was not a real person, there was no flood and there was no Ark filled with animals?

I didn't make a claim, you did. Why the need to shift the burden?

The picture is just a modern day picture of where the flood took place. In the Tigris Euphrates River Valley in around the year 2300 BC.

From 1922 to 1934, an archaeologist named C. Leonard Woolley excavated the site of the ancient Sumerian city of Ur. He found a layer where there was a flood deposit which he believed was from the great flood. This is exactly what people would expect to find is a layer where you find a deposit from the flood. Very little survived this flood.

I am just trying to find out what your looking for. There was a flood and everything was destroyed. How do you expect to find something when it is gone and God destroyed it? He has left us a lot of records of a lot of different things. In this case we have flood deposits exactly where we would expect to find them. In the area I live we have flood deposits from when the glaciers melted around 12,000 years ago. If you want to study the world before the glaciers then you have to go below those deposits.

I am not shifting anything. You wanted to see the evidence of the flood, so I showed you the flood deposit. Floods always leave a deposit behind. You have to dig down to find it. In this case Whooly was doing archaeology in the city of Ur and found a layer that he attributed to Noahs flood. That is what you call scientific evidence. Usually archaeology looks for artifacts where they have monetary value. They do not spend a lot of time working on flood deposits where everything has been destroyed. They work on the layers were something remains that God has not destroyed. If He had destroyed with fire there would have been only a very think layer of ash. Not a thick layer like a flood leaves behind.

Is this personal opinion?

A picture is evidence for the flood?

Do professional geologists agree with you?

No, the flood narrative IS in the genealogy of the Jews. Yet, no other culture or race on earth remembers being related to the Jews.

Where are the human skeletons from the flood?

Anyone you know of that is related to the Romans?

 

[AV1611VET]

Gone with the wind.

Genesis 8:1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;

Does a geologist agree that a flood deposit was cased by a flood? What sort of a question is that? Of course they agree that it is a flood deposit. We do not have a lot of information about the world and the people God destroyed. He does not give us a lot of information. Only we are told: "Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually."

Where are the human skeletons from the flood?

I would imagine they have gone the way of all skeletons. They are chalk or limestone.

I have been asking for years: a picture is evidence for evolution? That is pretty much the way scientific evidence is. The excavation was done almost 100 years ago. They did not have digital cameras back then. They can not go into that area now, it is a war zone and to dangerous to take students into do the work. Every now and then you see photos of soldiers standing in front of a ancient site. If you look at the remains of the buildings you will see they have a raised foundation which is usually to protect the building from floods.

 

[Butterfly99]

Last 10 years discovery from fossils finds in China shows that evolution is just a theory!

View attachment 164973

There are no evidence for macro-evolution! It is only micro-evolution all the way!

I looked on your information page & it said your origin of life view is atheistic evolution. Which is a dumb thing to call it but whatever. So is this thread for real? It's honestly hard to even tell anymore cause there's threads about the earth being flat, & those people insist they're for real about it even though it's nuts. They even said that Christians who believe in literal creation have to believe the earth is flat, reject evolution, and think the earth is at the center of the universe. Don't know who is punking & who's for real on this forum.

 

[Butterfly99]

It's gotten to the point now, where I don't know, what threads are sincere, which ones are satire.

Lol that's pretty much what I wrote too but I wrote it before I read this.

Can't take you seriously.

Are you aware, it was Christian geologists, that first debunked a biblical flood?
