Hypothetical for Scientists

As I have said before: I eat atheists for breakfast.

Maybe you mean literally? Because you don't seem to be defeating them so very deftly when it comes to debate.

Perhapas you should wash them down with a mug of humility?

 

[MrGoodBytes]

Is there some linguistic term you can use to answer it?

Like "yes" or "no"?

Let us revisit your claim:

1. The Flood existed because the Bible says so.
2. We cannot find any evidence of the Flood because God made it disappear.
3. God didn't tell us that he made it disappear.
4. God must have created the Flood, who else could have made the evidence disappear?

Your position doesn't even derserve criticism, AV. It belongs in the Museum of Logical Fallacies.

I didn't realize that museum had a sideshow.

I don't believe an atheist can, in my opinion. As I have said before: I eat atheists for breakfast.

BURRRPPP!!!

This explains a lot. Atheists are toxic, don'cha know. Try a little brandy to sober yourself up.

"Yes" and "no" are terms used in the study of language?

Interesting choice of words --- I prefer "removed it".

But He must have not only made all the evidence for the flood disappear. He must have created masses of evidence that there never was a global flood. We see what look exactly like annual layers in ice cores and in lake sediments going back smoothly tens of thousands of years with no indication on any worldwide flood. We can form tree ring chronologies that go back at least 11,000 years and carbon 14 in the tree rings correlates with C14 in the lake varves that we see in many different lakes going back 10's of thousands of years and correlates with U-Th dating of coral couplets as discussed on This Thread. We see a pattern of biogeography that is not at all what one would expect if all the animals on earth were descended from a few survivors who came off a boat in the Middle East 4,500 years ago. We see solid evidence of continuous civilization dating back long before this supposed flood. We do not see the genetic bottlenecks we should see in all species if they were descended from only 2 or at most 6 ancestors after a flood 4,500 years ago. This is only a partial exposition of the long list of false evidence against the flood that you claim that God must have created. I know you can't admit it but you are making God out to be a deceiver.

Biblical reference, please?

How about you respond to his entire post with an actual argument, instead of nit-picking over word choice? You seem to do that a lot. When you see a good point, you either ignore it, make a condescending joke about it, or make a poor response, likely consisting of a biblical verse that holds little to no meaning to the topic, or a one line phrase that is intended solely to annoy the person to which you are responding. You are only showing how inept at answering arguments you are. Way to stick up for your faith.

Please do not respond to this post with one of the aforementioned ways.

Disappear, remove, potatoe, potato. Care to show me where in the bible it says "...and God removed the evidence", then?

Nope, no He didn't.

It's like this, FishFace:

God sends a superflood upon the earth that totally wipes everything out.

One year later this superflood is gone, and 4500 years later even scientists can't find it - (like they can find anything).

Now, who do you think cleaned it up?

Let me ask the same question in an easier way:

Who is the only one who had the power to clean it up?

Some things just go without saying, don't they?

(Or do you really need a Sherlock Holmes to explain this to you?)

I assume this is your way of saying "Sorry, MrGoodBytes, I don't have any scriptural support for my supposedly literal-as-a-phonebook interpretation of the Bible" - and you know what?

That's OK.

That is your own interpretation, that is not in the bible.

Interesting choice of reply. You clearly prefer "dodge the question."

 

[AV1611VET]

That is your own interpretation, that is not in the bible.

Then I'll ask you.

Who cleaned up the Flood? Noah? Michael the Archangel? Gabriel? Who?

 

[Tomk80]

Then I'll ask you.

Who cleaned up the Flood? Noah? Michael the Archangel? Gabriel? Who?

Why would there have to be any cleaning up? Why wouldn't the people get mixed up with the sediments you claim were laid down by the flood and decompose there? And why should I answer the question, I don't hold to your fantasies.

Fact is that this is your interpretation of it, not supported by anything in the bible.

 

[DisgruntledPostalEmployee]

Then I'll ask you.

Who cleaned up the Flood? Noah? Michael the Archangel? Gabriel? Who?

Could it be that maybe, taking into account the lack of evidence (and, as has been stated, the presence of contradictory evidence,) the flood didn't happen at all?

 

[MarcusHill]

Then I'll ask you.

Who cleaned up the Flood? Noah? Michael the Archangel? Gabriel? Who?

Let me see...

Option 1 - there was a global superflood whose very ocurrence is beyond the realms of what is currently deemed possible, and someone erased all evidence of it

Option 2 - there was no such flood



Nobody cleaned it up. It didn't need cleaning up because it didn't happen.
