• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Does the bible say that there was no rain prior to "the flood", or is this just something the creationists added to it? Do you have scientific evidence to support this idea?

Except that evidence of rain is preserved in sedimentary rocks formed long before our species arrived on the scene:

And you are making up stories to avoid addressing facts.

Except that I understand your "facts" to be secular opinion and nothing more.

Genesis 2:-5-6

....for GOD had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. But there continued to go up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

Hebrews 11:7

By faith Noah, being warned of GOD of THINGS NOT SEEN AS YET, being wary, prepared an ark to the saving of his house: by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

As your quote shows this is before man existed. Since Adam tilled the ground the best you can get out of this is that it didn't rain before the Fall.
Hebrews 11:7
By faith Noah, being warned of GOD of THINGS NOT SEEN AS YET, being wary, prepared an ark to the saving of his house: by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
That could refer to rain, or it could refer to a honking big flood that would cover the face of the land.

You deny the physical evidence that says you're wrong, and Robert has pointed out that scripture doesn't support your claims either. Do you have ANYTHING that supports your claims?
