So give an example of a "kind".That is what I said. A cat and a dog can not breed. Kind is defined in Genesis.
Genesis 1:24
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
Interesting claim. Can you give some examples?Scientists are famous for pronouncing gobbledygook and then lobbying for laws to force everybody to accept it as finest science.
Would any of these miracles left evidence behind?Is a man walking on water...."logically possible"?
How about a man speaking to a storm, commanding it to stop.. and it stops?
or... a man taking 5 buns and two fish... and feeding more than 5000 people with 12 baskets of left overs?
Believing God can do what He said He did and man interpreting God's Word correctly are two wildly different things.You identify as a Christian. Does history show any evidence for a man dying, being buried for three days, coming back to life, preaching sermons, eating, walking through walls... floating up into the sky?
You better believe more on what God can do and say's that He did.. than what humans have told you to be historic.
If... if your going to proclaim to be a Christian... that is.
Of course it's absurd. Michelangelo didn't give paint self-awareness and intelligence as God did to us.I find it funny that we can, as the work of art, hold an arrogant attitude as to what the artist did.
Can you imagine all the static and two dimensional images in the painting of the last supper, while being nothing more than media which reflects different colors.. stuck on a canvas and unchanging for centuries..... all this multi colored media arguing among its created self as to what brush the artist used, where he purchased his canvas and how long it took him to create them?
How absurd.
Of course we don't do that. We claim the the evidence God left behind disagrees with certain interpretations of His Word.Yet, that's what we do. We claim, as the creation, to know more than the creator, who has told us exactly what He did.
DogsSo give an example of a "kind".
The Mt. St. Helen's canyon is nothing like the Grand Canyon save the are both big ditches in the ground.You do realize that a mini canyon, much like the Grand Canyon, was formed in hours when Mt St Helen erupted.....right?
Worldwide flood stories differ significantly from each other. If Noah and the other seven people on the Ark are all the survived, how do we have flood accounts written by other tribes?When you try to apply science to biblical stories there are a lot of fallacies and they are hard to avoid. The first is the assumption that you actually know enough to analyze a story.
The first thing you run into in the flood story is that there is no physical evidence, but tribes all around the world recorded a flood and they all agreed on all the details. Science or no science, they all saw something, and they all saw the same thing.
Do you have any references for these claims?Then you learn about China. The name means "middle kingdom". Middle of what? The Chinese saw the tree of life in the north sky and the sea of confusion in the south sky. The Earth had equatorial rings in those days, and spokes in the rings made it look like a muddy sea. It was observed and recorded by other civilizations too
If the Flood covered the entire earth, then there should be no other flood stories from other cultures as no other cultures would have survived to write down the stories.Is it not enough that every culture has a story of a massive flood... then.. that our creator told us exactly what took place?
Is a dog the same "kind" as a wolf? Can a house cat mate with a lion?Dogs
Cats
Cattle
Whales
Dolphins
Tons more.....
These can only breed among themselves.
Is the empty tomb or the witnesses described anywhere outside the Bible?Empty tomb, existence of the church, eyewitnesses willing to die for it...
Yes, in many first century writings.Is the empty tomb or the witnesses described anywhere outside the Bible?
Church is based on the fact of His Resurrection. Before He rose from the death, there was no church, apostles were hiding and afraid.How is the existence of the church historical proof of the Resurrection?
By whom? Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Paul were all 1st century writers. So were many of the writers of the Apocrypha. Are there others outside of Christianity's founders?Yes, in many first century writings.
The church is based on the belief in His Resurrection. That isn't historical proof, that's faith.Church is based on the fact of His Resurrection. Before He rose from the death, there was no church, apostles were hiding and afraid.
Again, that's faith, not historical proof of anything.Also, there are two billlions of Christians 2000 years later, saying that they have personal relationship with living Christ.
I would respond to your posts. However, you know everything already and are entrenched in your own truth.Is the empty tomb or the witnesses described anywhere outside the Bible?

I would say its an evidence. Not a proof, not just a faith in something invented. Could Church exist without the resurrection in the beginning?The church is based on the belief in His Resurrection. That isn't historical proof, that's faith.
Good. The post wasn't directed to you and your mind reading abilities anyway.I would respond to your posts. However, you know everything already and are entrenched in your own truth.
God Bless.
No on the catIs a dog the same "kind" as a wolf? Can a house cat mate with a lion?
