Then you'll have no problem changing your story to agree with science?

I have NO problem with true Science. The problem I have is with the False Assumptions of the satanic Theory or Evolution. It's not Science, but instead is a made up Theory of Godless people who forgot about the Flood. ll Peter 3:3-7

Including Charles Darwin? You said before he wasn't Satanic...

May I ask, which false assumptions are you talking about?

They will eliminate you from the board if they can. It's a game with them.

So you are saying you are friends with a moderator who will ban me because you don't like me?

Such childish threats are very unbecoming.

Sure:

16 And God made the two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: [he made] the stars also.

Now, it's your time to show us where the Bible says that both are stars. Does the Moon light the night? Of course it does if its not cloudy. Amen?

And here we are, the moving of the goalposts!

I never said they were STARS.

I said the Bible claims that the moon is a LIGHT, didn't I? My exact words were:

"For a start, perhaps you can reconcile the Biblical claim that the moon is a SOURCE OF LIGHT with the scientific fact that the moon only reflects light and does not produce any light of its own?"

From post 846.

The Bible claims that the moon is a light, and you just posted the exact verse that makes the claim.

Sure it is or you would turn it off and then stumble around. Reflected light is a light source, especially in Australia. (at my time of posting)

No, it's not a light source because it's not the SOURCE of light. The light doesn't originate on the wall.

Yeah, I remember Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong went up there with a big box of crackers, and dip, and they were so disappointed...

Ah, but they weren't disappointed. Turns out the Moon really is made of cheese, but NASA kept it secret so as not to crash America's dairy industry...

What about the parting of the Red Sea? Is that literal or metaphorical?

Historical recounting of exact event (not a metaphor), by the style of the text. A dramatic miracle.

Since there is only one Sovereign Creator over all,
if someone wants to
really know the truth about something,
simply ask Him, and keep asking Him.

His Promise , His Word, which He Guards even more than His Own Name,
is that you will find out if you keep seeking.

Straight from Him, what could be better ?

Then if He fails, it's on Him too!

Couldn't ask for anything better !

So it actually happened? Waters parted and all that?

Wonderful !

Step by step, everything Yahweh Said and Did is Proven, even though so many try to prove otherwise (when they honestly try, they find out honestly it all happened as Yahweh says) !

Not quite as I think of that wording, the actual wording. I see the "strong east wind" suggesting the water was pushed one direction. Of course this could leave water on both sides.. This is merely the detail, but you asked.

Ignoring the fact that a wind that strong would blow the Hebrews halfway to Hoboken, an "east wind" -- that is to say, blowing from the East -- would've blown the waters right at them.

Maybe there's another answer besides straight up literalism?

Okay, how do you know that it really happened?
