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.
Evolution False? Absolute proof inside.

I abandoned that in favor of believing that the animals were teleported back to their specific ecological niches, à la Acts 8.

Okay! Now just one clarification I want to be sure I don't misunderstand. The Tower of Babel story has always fascinated me. This is where God gave everyone a different language and scattered mankind around the world to where they are now, not to mention being really naughty people for trying build a tower to Heaven. But this is the general idea of scattering the people and language that we have to day isn't it? Just want to be sure?

Even though we disagree on many things, I really like your sense of humor.

I suspect you're trying to pull me into a trap.
Language has evolved since the days of Babel.
I don't want to discuss "today" ... let's stick with "yesterday" ... shall we?

I'm just wondering if the confounding of language and dispersal of people around the world is what we are supposed to be taking from the story? All a need is a "yup" or "nope". It's what I've been taught. Have I been taught correctly?

Why don't you ask those who taught you?I'm just wondering if the confounding of language and dispersal of people around the world is what we are supposed to be taking from the story? All a need is a "yup" or "nope". It's what I've been taught. Have I been taught correctly?
If you didn't believe them, are you going to believe me?

Okay, Rick, I'll bite.
I don't really care to discuss much of things that happened after 96 AD, but let's see what happens.
Yes, the confounding of language and dispersal of people around the world is what we are supposed to be taking from the story.

Do you believe Shem, Ham, and Japheth were real people?Thank you. We agree on the meaning of the story. No more questions concerning it.

Shem and Japheth, maybe, but Jews would never name a child after a pork product (ham is a pork product in Jacobean English, right?) so Ham was probably a completely different child of Noah who just happened to have the same name.

Ya ... ain't that something!?
Must just be my opinion then, huh?
Maybe I should have made that a little plainer.
You know ... with size-7 font or something?

It sure has. Funny how we can trace the development of English back to earlier languages from times way before the KJV was written, that are completely different from Jacobean English.
