I really don't care if you think it's about the creation...Seriously, I don't.
God said the mountains can rise and valleys sink. As that verse suggest there is a promise it won't happen again.

I'm glad I never had you as a teacher. I don't want to be taught misinformation.

Bahahahah!!! Says the guy who cites Creationist sites.

I really don't care if you think it's about the creation...Seriously, I don't.

The problem with this is I'm not the only one.

>> Many great things the psalmist here gives God the glory of
  • I. The splendour of his majesty in the upper world (v. 1-4).
  • II. The creation of the sea and the dry land (v. 5-9). <<

God said the mountains can rise and valleys sink. As that verse suggest there is a promise it won't happen again.

The problem with that argument is that verse 8 is referring to the Creation meaning you're arguing against your own claim re: the Flood.

Let me see you move the earth.

I don't have to genius. It moves on it's own - on it's axis and around the sun.

I'm an OEC/Gap believer. Science denies the flood. I believe it, but I don't think it was the flood envisioned by you or most others.

This is speaking of the waters that cover the earth, not the mountains or valleys.

Where is your 3rd book? The bible?

I have just reached out and touched it, without getting out of the chair. I might add that it gets more than its fair share of reading.

You know, one of the things that has troubled me about a particular denomination I was a member of once is that those ministers had a very progressive habit of citing numerous different scriptures supposedly pertaining to the topic of their sermon, which had absolutely nothing to do with the point they were presenting.

Science shows no evidence of a global flood that covered all the land. Can you cite a published paper in a professional scientific journal that is about denying Noah's Flood? I won't hold my breath.

A global flood, as described in the story, wouldn't have left such evidence, so it is perfectly ok to assume that the flood didn't happen.

Why are you saying a global flood wouldn't have left such evidence?

I do think creation is as is, but after reading the Hebrew I don't believe 1) at all. 2), 3), and 4) are hyperbole, and 5) is tapered into nothing.

The first verse of the Bible says the earth is older than time if you follow the text closely. Time didn't exist until God made it after He separated light from darkness.
