  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Nice try. Didn't work this time. I actually smiled.
What point does it have to ask you anything when you made your answers up from thin air, without any evidence. Its like discussing a fairy tale with a fairy tale answers.

Noah built the Ark, modern engineering built the Florida footbridge.
Modern engineering also built the Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78).

Modern engineering also built the Delta Works (the Netherlands).

Modern engineering also built the Large Hadron Colider (Switzerland).

Modern engineering also built the Channel Tunnel.

Modern engineering also built the Hubble Space Telescope.

You seem to think a (fictional) bronze age 600 year old armed with a hammer and saw is more capable than modern engineers.

Modern engineering also built the Apollo I capsule, the Titanic, the Hindenburg, Thalidomide, Vioxx, the Deepwater Horizon, Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, Three Mile Island Power Plant, the Scorpion, the Challenger, the Columbia, and the Banqiao Reservoir Dam.

Need I go on?

And for the record, what did Noah use a hammer for?

You do realize that for every one of your examples there's literally millions of examples of modern engineering that have not ended in tragedy, right?

Heck, you're communicating across hundreds of miles with one right now.

I don't know. What do most people use hammers for?

Thats a nonsensical request.

Thats akin to saying support your claims outside of physical reality.

Your ignorance is showing.
Looks to me like you're SOL then.

Support your claims with sources outside of science.
Well, given that science is a human endeavor tasked with understanding the Cosmos around us, and since you want support of claims outside of science ... then pretty much the entire Cosmos around us (outside of the ink used to print the Bible).

Ahh now look here ..

I went out of my way last night and watched Sir Russell Crowe wrestling with an evil wanna-be king on his Ark, in the epic documentary called 'Noah'. So what you say, just can't be right.

He also seemed to have rock-monsters working for him too, who actually constructed the ark .. and not him, anyway.

Knives (and other weapons) were also clearly visible .. he tried to kill one of his son's twin daughters with a serrated edge knife in one of the final scenes! I'm sure I saw hammers too(?)

Can I get caught up to speed?

Has anyone presented any independent, corroborating evidence for the Noachian flood story at this point? That wasn't a Bible verse or a presupposition.

Even for an unusually large/destructive flood localised to the Tigris-Euphrates floodplain? Or the Eastern Mediterranean basin?

Seems like this would be the most basic first step.
