• 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.

  • 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.

How to choose between creation and evolution.

A lot more than eight, plus all the other boatloads, plus the locals.
Yes, other people came, maybe over 600 years there were enough people finding Egypt a great destination in the same way. The local's population in america may have actually suffered, and I don't think they got their way in influencing a distinct overall culture.

They didn't develop a whole civilization - language, architecture, writing, cities, armies etc from nothing.
True, much later situation to be comparing... they had backgrounds sure, but still developed pretty much from nothing.

Mizraim, Noah's grandson, was the father of the Egyptians.

Genesis 10:6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

I'm not sure if you're comprehending the problem here, forget about America.

Worldwide flood > Population reduced to eight > A few hundred years later the Egyptian civilization (and many other populations across the world) is flourishing.

What do you suppose the global population could have been in 3000 - 2500 BC if it was reduced to eight a couple of hundred years before?

It's impossible.

That was my point... it doesn't take people long to get going.

Impossible.

And you think that the distinct cultures we see in Egypt, China, Australia, Europe, South America etc sprung up developed their own languages etc in that time?
