Impreccable proof for the Biblical Flood

[AirPo]

Then the refineries would be out of work and people would be complaining that God keeps us unemployed.

They could just post counts.

 

[AV1611VET]

They could just post counts.

Or crab about it.

So what about all the ridiculous number of times 'poor design' crops up in nature? With just what we can see, any creationist must know god to be ether inept or sadistic.

What about it? we're in a state of decay, thanks to the Fall.

 

[AirPo]

Or both.

 

[AV1611VET]

Or both.

That's true.

I notice those that crab about my post count also make posts at times that are nothing but flaming and ridicule.

At least my counting isn't hurting anyone -- (but them, I guess).

I suppose that puts paid to the ideas of Intelligent Design advocates.

Would you say that, for example, human physiology was quite different back in the day, and perhaps before the fall things we would identify as 'poor design' did not exist?

P.S. How long do you reckon we have before the cumulative decay kills us off completely? (Assuming the Rapture isn't happening any time soon)

If God can keep a cruise of oil from running out (1 Kings 17)

Is this the same god who sent bears to maul/kill 42 children for teasing Elisha? (2 Kings 2:23-24)

(The Bible says it, so I guess by your logic it's true)

 

[AV1611VET]

Intelligent Design can take a hike -- it's called Creation.

Would you say that, for example, human physiology was quite different back in the day, and perhaps before the fall things we would identify as 'poor design' did not exist?

Adam and Eve had glorified bodies -- impervious to death, decay and injury.

Yes

 

[CaliforniaSun]

Yes

Sounds like he could use some anger management courses.

Either that, or there's more to the story than meets the eye.

Maybe -- (just maybe) -- He knew something you don't.

Like maybe their yelling at Elisha was drawing the bears' attention to Elisha?

How long do you think it would take a bear to maul 42 children?

 

[AV1611VET]

How long do you think it would take a bear to maul 42 children?

Twice as long as it would take two bears -- (and she-bears at that) -- which is what happened.

Can you imagine what the parents of those kids must have felt after this horrific event?

Your point?

 

[rjc34]

So you're saying god made every creature perfect, but after the fall he decided to add some strange and inefficient characteristics to a whole bunch of them, as well as vestigial features that have no use, because he's sadistic?

"...and cursed them in the name of the LORD."

Story seems pretty unambiguous to me... Ether that or you're admitting that some 'miracles' in the bible were really just coincidences.

 

[CaliforniaSun]

Your point?

The deity you are protraying is ambivalently sadistic.

 

[AV1611VET]

The deity you are protraying is ambivalently sadistic.

And you don't know the whole story, do you?

And I'm the one being 'passive-aggressive'?
