My India Challenge

[dlamberth]

Let's not question "an ancient nomadic tribe of desert dwellers."

Why then did you bring them up in post #36?

 

[Hans Blaster]

The thing is... all of those are true, because when Gondwanaland existed, India, Africa and Australia were all connected together and then split. So each answer is correct, just not fully right.

Laurasia forever!

 

[AV1611VET]

Why then did you bring them up in post #36?

I didn't.

An "ancient nomadic tribe of desert dwellers" didn't write Genesis 1.

Adam did.

Laurasia forever!

According to classic contemporary college campus classroom cliché, India wasn't a part of Laurasia.

I'm just declaring my loyalty to the other team. (Your challenges are all about teams aren't they?)

Laurasia forever!

Bah!
North vs South rivalry.

​

The image incidentally was AI generated!!
I asked Bing to depict a rivalry between a bear and a kangaroo typically found in the northern and southern hemispheres respectively and it came up with this.
The gibberish is apparently a made up language that only AI understands.
Looks more like an example of psychotic art.

Note the anti-Australian bias in the artwork. Your AI is a closet Europhile.

The background is 'soft' green forest with a few pine/fir trees and verdant undergrowth instead of the hard blue-green, vertical of eucalypts and a dry scratchy undergrowth full of snakes and bull ants.

The grass is soft and green. Grass is never green- its grey or brown and prickly with bindis unless there's been a flood in which case the grass is dead.

The mountains are pointy. Australia has no pointy mountains. We have a few low lumpy hills in the south east corner, The rest is dry hot and flat as a pancake. The soil is red and a mixture of sand and iron filings.

And the animals are speaking Hungarian.

Back to the drawing board.

Tweak it, reprogram it, chisel it.

Get it to say what you want it to say.

I must have visited the vegitatively exciting part of Antipodia. Lush vegitation, etc.

Sounds like Australia could use the geologic excitement of running into Java. Might get some mountains out of that.

OB

Laurasia for the win!

 

[jacks]

I am sure i got a pic somewhere of Noah with my ancestors....

"Corgis were originally used to drive cattle, gather flocks of geese and chickens, herd sheep and ponies, etc."

I'm sure Noah found them very useful when he was loading the boat.

AI got one thing right, kangaroos wearing Akubra hats.

I didn't know you understood the AI dialogue in the image, care to translate it for us?
Are you aware Australia is a very dangerous continent, apart from having the most venomous snakes, killer dropbears and magpies etc, lesser known is the kangaroos habit of possessing Akubra hats by attacking innocent Australians in the bush and metropolitan areas such as Sydney.

They were treated like royalty. They always got an extra bowl at breakfast!

How do you know?

How do you know OB is right, and you're the one in the wrong?

Perhaps OB is the one who is "waaaay off"?

Because I actually checked. Yes, as he pointed out, with contentintal drift, it might not be 100% and would roughly be along that same latitude, I was still not correct.

Can you confirm that off charta?

No idea what that means.

 

[AV1611VET]

That's okay.

Neither is he, in my opinion.

His explanation, using latitude and longitude, is very good though; and I learned something.

But his starting premise is wrong.

He assumes that, when Pangaea split into Laurasia & Gondwana, that India went with Gondwana; as academia attests.

But let me make this perfectly clear:

India never went across any ocean.

God broke Pangaea up into five continents* -- not two big ones.**

India went with Asia.

So yes -- he is academically correct; but Biblically wrong.

* Afroeurope, America, Antarctica, Asia, and Australia

** Laurasia and Gondwana

This is the point where it really shows that there is no point to your 'challenges'. It's not a 'tough, think outsid the box question', it's not an attempt to get us to imagine that we might be wrong.

It's just a longwinded way for you to get around to saying "My interpretation of the Bible doesn't agree with anything science says, so you guys are wrong no matter what". That's all it is.

Either that, or it's my way of showing how science can take a hike.

Which is solely based around your own strange and weird interpretation of the Bible. Which is not the plus that you would think it is.

I believe it's called "doctrine."

Pangea is the concept that all of the land masses of the earth were at one time connected as one giant super-continent. On a world map, some of the continents look like they could fit together like giant puzzle pieces (Africa and South America, for example). Does the Bible mention Pangea? Not explicitly, but possibly. Genesis 1:9 records, “And God said, ‘Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.’ And it was so.” Presumably, if all the water was “gathered to one place,” the dry ground would also be all “in one place.” Genesis 10:25 mentions, “…one was named Peleg, because in his time the earth was divided…” Some point to Genesis 10:25 as evidence that the earth was divided after the Flood of Noah.

No, it's definitely not basic doctrine. It's your own personal extra-Biblical doctrine.
