You don't want to go there. You will lose miserably. Such examples are LOADED in the Bible. Do you think I will have faith in the story of the Babel without having a strong base of faith from other sources in the Bible?

Faith is not a pathway to truth.

Give you an easy one: the Bible describes many many times, the mountains will "move". Do you think this is just a fantasy used in poetry? Since when do scientists know that mountains DO MOVE?

Mountains don't move.

Do you know the modern science know that mountains can move in several different ways?

They don't.

Run, before you embarrass yourself.

Says the person that thinks mountains move.
They don't. Mountains are the result of tectonic activity.
Tectonic plates move. Mountains aren't tectonic plates.

Absolutely not.
You will say that miserably in all your life.
I like to say, I DO know.

Pretending to know, is not actually knowing.

My way is much much better than yours.
When reading that, I get a mental image of a 5-year old on the play ground saying "na, na-na, naaa-na"

Every theistic religion that I am aware of, has some kind of creation myth embedded.

Do you know of one that doesn't?

In Hinduism, the universe is believed to be eternal. Similarly in some varieties of Greek philosophy.

Ever heared of Lord Brahma, the Creator?

Since Hinduism sees the universe as being destroyed and recreated infinitely often, this is not "creation" in the sense of the Abrahamic religions.

And please leave your snide patronising attitude on the bus.

The Abrahamic religions said, in contrast to accepted science, that the universe had a beginning at a point in time, and had not existed forever. They were right.

Meaning, that Hinduism most definatly offers a story on the creation of the universe we inhabit. So yes, hindusim has a creation myth concerning the universe. Just like abrahamic religions, it claims this universe had a beginning.
And please leave your snide patronising attitude on the bus.

I don't see what is "patronising" or "snide" about bringing to your attention that Lord Brahma is the Hindu god that creates universes.

This hasn't been confirmed. The big bang only describes what happened back to a certain time in which the concepts of physics and time are hypothesized to start to break down. There are hypotheses which include an infinite universe.

The Bible doesn't say the mountains move except in ways that were clearly observable by the people who wrote it, and therefore not taken on faith.

I like to say I do know, also, but only if I ACTUALLY know. To say that you know, when in reality you only have faith, is dishonest.

I am not miserable stating that I don't know something. Everyone has LOTS of things they don't know. By your rationale, everyone should be miserable.

I am afraid it is not true. There are many say mountain does not move TODAY. It is not an experience to human. It is only by the modern science, we proved what's said in the Bible.

You are kidding. If go that way, we all lie tens of time each day.
Without faith, we can not live.

Um. no. You must have a very strange definition of faith.

You can try. Name one thing you are sure you know. In fact, you do not, you simply believe. For example, are you hungry? Do you really want/don't want to eat that piece of cake?

Nothing in the Bible suggests that that's "Adamic language."

It's the name God chose to reveal to the Israelites.

Adam knew how to say the name which will be written on Jesus when He returns at the end of time which NO man knew but He Himself. Rev 19:12 YHWH is the name of the Son of God in the O.T. It's a singular name while God (Elohim) is a plural name revealing the Trinity. Amen?
