So nothing then. But seriously if you fancy yourself an expert on the Flud why didn't you ever give an answer for my Goosenecks Challenge? I know, and you know, that you would have failed terribly. But you still should have taken a shot at it.
What do you call this?
As you predicted.A terribly failed attempt.
You call that a "shot"? It was nothing.As you predicted.
But what's with the 'you still should have taken a shot at it' all about?
You call that a "shot"? It was nothing.
That was not a serious attempt to answer the question. Like most of your work here it was pathetic and now worth paying any attention to.I don't care if I said Humpty Dumpty did it.
I still replied.
And frankly, I think you're just trying to save face at my expense.
Which of course, is your prerogative.
Anything else I can help you deny/ridicule?That was not a serious attempt to answer the question. Like most of your work here it was pathetic and now worth paying any attention to.
Seriously you should be able to answer such questions if you want to claim you believe the Flood story. Your failure shows that at best it was a morality tale and nothing more.
AV, I offered to discuss your errant beliefs with you and you responded with nonsense.Anything else I can help you deny/ridicule?

Seriously you should not try this with people that you actually meet.
Sorry I insulted your intelligence with a passage of Scripture.
If that bothers you, you're in the wrong place.
Or what will happen?
Will the Bible, which is:
Hebrews 4:12c ... a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
... cause someone to go ape?
True story:
A well-know evangelist who visited our church has a spinal disease that causes him to "act & talk funny."
He hurt himself badly one day doing some roofing and had to go to the emergency room.
The ER doctor, noticing how he was acting, got the staff psychologist involved, who examined him with such questions as:
Based on his answers, he was committed to the psych ward, and his wife had to get a Christian psychiatrist to override the staff psychiatrist's orders.
- Do you often think of dying?
- Do you talk to God and/or the Devil?
- Do you consider dying a good thing?
He was in the ward about a week.
The Christian psychiatrist.Who can blame the doctor?
Perhaps doctors need more training?It is hard to tell the difference between a true crazy and a person that believes the Bible literally.
Yes.This should tell you something.
The Christian psychiatrist.
Perhaps doctors need more training?
Yes.
That doctors may be ill-equipped to handle born-again believers with cerebral palsy.
Psychiatrists ill-equipped to know the difference between cerebal palsy and Christian doctrine are okay with you?That seems to be a terribly wrong answer.
I doubt if the cerebral palsy was the cause of his commitment.Psychiatrists ill-equipped to know the difference between cerebal palsy and Christian doctrine are okay with you?
It wasn't.I doubt if the cerebral palsy was the cause of his commitment.
Maybe yes, maybe no. And you are hearing only one side of the story. Since I doubt if your beliefs are harmful to either yourself or to others (at least not physically) I have reason to believe that they would let you go. To commit someone you need to believe that they are more than just crazy. One has to have legitimate concern that the person would harm himself or others.It wasn't.
Read what I wrote again.
The psychiatrist asked him some questions about dying and talking to God and/or the Devil, and based on his answers, "admitted" (committed) him for testing.
If I went to that ER room, I'd never get out!

sfs - I looked up the definition regarding ERVs before typing:
Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) are endogenous viral elements in the genome that closely resemble and can be derived from retroviruses.
Retroviruses are any of a group of RNA viruses that insert a DNA copy of their genome into the host cell in order to replicate, e.g., HIV.
An RNA virus is a virus that has RNA as its genetic material. This nucleic acid is usually single-stranded RNA, but may be double-stranded RNA.
I'm always happy to learn anything new and to expand my knowledge if the source is good.
I've just explained to you how erv's are evidence. And I used the definitions YOU posted to do so.Feel free to give further light on this if you feel you can. One way or another, I don't think ERVs are causing any climbs whatsoever up Darwin' so called Tree of Life.
Any such ideas are purely fanciful theories presented as if they are facts.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Or He created it to be inhabited by humans who wouldn't die.
You know -- before the Fall?
It doesn't surprise me.
On Earth Two (a.k.a., the New Earth), we are going to live forever, despite how the earth is configured.
What you are overlooking, then, is the Fall.
Then why should I accept your assessment of the Creator:?I don't share your adversarial relationship with reality, so I'm not obligated to imagine ways around it along with you.
If it was 'created for humans', the being that did it was either stupid, lazy or incompetent.
