Nor are naturalistic models / conjectures....
So the physical evidence of God's creation is a lie? I tend to believe God's creation over the muses of men who had no idea at their time about anything in their physical surroundings.

No they don't. No it doesn't.

See? My words counter your words.

Now, your challenge is to go beyond mere words. What evidence do you cite to support "more evidence of rapid layering"? What evidence is there that a global flood seems a lot more likely of a scenario?

I think simply that there is and has been a narrative that has evidence for but is not necessarily 100% proven. There is not a missing link for any animal or human in my opinion. . . .

THe trouble is, no matter what evidence you are shown, you feel that your mere opinion is enough to dismiss it.

Premise 1 that you quote is false, so your conclusion must be false also.

Now you're getting confused. Are you claiming that Jesus endorses the flood as an historical event or endorses your claims about the text of the flood story?
What exactly are my claims about the text of the flood story that you feel Jesus would have to correct me about if He were here to talk to me about it (that's not a trick question - I just want to know where my apparent error lies)?

In what respect?

I don't know what your claims are. The person to whom the post was originally directed claims that the text is the literal, inerrant, perspicuous and self-interpreting product of plenary verbal inspiration--and that Jesus wouldn't have quoted the text unless He had been of the same opinion.

The point I was making is that logically, the same argument could be made for any interpretation of scripture and thus proves nothing.

Looking back, I see it was you I was responding to--how time flies. My apologies if I have confused your claims with someone else's.

But the point remains the same. No matter what your claims about the text are, right or wrong, the "Jesus quotes Genesis" argument doesn't prove anything.

I hope this is the fullness,
Genesis 1:28
The word "replenish"
Dinosaurs were the only things around for the many millions of years which scientists suggest according to fossils, but not anything else. Many fossils of "ancient animals" are still alive, and they thought they were extinct.
The reason they died, and the reason their bones are not decayed to dust, is a flash freeze over the whole earth.
God blew on the earth and all of it froze.
The reason all of the earth flash-froze, was because there was an unending heavy rain, which dinosaurs needed, even as an alligator would have flesh crumble away if they didn't have water on them for a day.
This is also supported in scripture as the frozen earth melted, "And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters." Genesis 1:2
This is also supported, because before the flood of Noah's Ark, those people survived for water by dew on the grass.
There was once water in the atmosphere rather than relatively none today, which we're used to, and this also explains where that flood had come from.
A meteor did not kill the dinosaurs, nor did it split the single landmass.
The reason God killed the dinosaurs with a flash freeze, was because when Satan fell he caused violence on the earth, and the dinosaurs started eating each other.
This time of the ice age lasted many many millions of years, and Satan sat upon the earth in boredom. It melted suddenly, and the things God created therewith were abrupt, even the time of the Spirit of God moving upon the face of the waters was relatively abrupt, having man put on the earth, and Satan had already known of man from his time in Heaven.

Scientists suggest no such thing. There were many other animals around besides dinosaurs during the Mesozoic Era.

Many fossils of "ancient animals" are still alive, and they thought they were extinct.
Same family, but not species.

God blew on the earth and all of it froze.
You just made that up. The bible says no such thing.

That's the problem I have with creation science. If totally off-the-wall-made-up-stuff has to be presented in order to justify one's scripture interpretation, what does that suggest about the validly of the scripture?

This is also supported, because before the flood of Noah's Ark, those people survived for water by dew on the grass.
So there were no rivers or lakes?

There was once water in the atmosphere rather than relatively none today, which we're used to, and this also explains where that flood had come from.
Are you aware that the entire moisture content in Earth's atmosphere completely overturns every 7 to 10 days?

A meteor did not kill the dinosaurs, nor did it split the single landmass.
The dinosaurs were all ready on a sever decline before bolide impact.


The reason God killed the dinosaurs with a flash freeze, was because when Satan fell he caused violence on the earth, and the dinosaurs started eating each other.
Where does the bible say that?

I conveyed hidden / unknown things,
and I used scripture where I could.
Only God could convey this, yet you think it is terribly wrong.
Assuming someone made something up, is also making something up.
Sir, I have an M.S. that includes that very area of science. Your argument breaks every single law of physics, chemistry, and mathematics, nor are any of the biblical suggestions presented supported by any biblical scripture.

A lot is assumed to be facts.

Aren't broad universal generalities in opposition to those laws?
What about appealing to educational authority? Aren't there
laws against that as well?
