Who was it that was telling me only a couple of days ago, that its was disingenuous to respond to a question, with another question..? Hmmmmmmm
Of course, you're just being bloody-minded here.
You know exactly why Bytes' response was a simple period,...
...because you know exactly how irrational your response is.
Let's say only two people in the world exist. We'll call them Adam and Eve. Adam lives in England, and Eve lives in the United States. Eve visits England and happens to enter your home when you're not there. She reads in your diary that you dropped an egg yesterday, and it splattered all over the floor, making a big mess. There is no trace of egg on the floor whatsoever. No egg shells, no yolk, no white, no nothing. Knowing that only two people on earth exist --- who cleaned up the egg mess?
Please answer this with a rational response.
I would assume that it must have been Adam but that would also be assuming that he was telling the truth.
Not really, I think if she had faith in Adam she would not be going through his things when he is not home.Would you call that "faith"?
There are actually two possibilities:Well, I have certainly given at least one rational response in your opinion. I would like you to tell me whether #2 is irrational, and if so, why it is irrational.
- Adam cleaned up the egg mess
- Adam neither dropped the egg nor cleaned up the egg mess. And whatever was written in his diary was incorrect for some reason.
Not really, I think if she had faith in Adam she would not be going through his things when he is not home.

Well, before we get too far off-track; my point is that I don't think it is poor exegesis to say that God is the only One capable of cleaning up the mess as well as it was cleaned up.
I agree God would be the only one capable of cleaning it up but that does not mean that the flood actually happened.
#2 is not irrational, unless it is impossible for Adam to lie or make a mistake.
In that case, it seems perfectly unreasonable for you to say people dislike you for what you are when you believe in a global flood without evidence, if the written documentation which you so often rely on is not necessarily accurate.
Our faith can only be as strong as the accuracy of God's Word:
And given the fact that we are going to be judged from what's written therein, I'd say God, whose name is Jealous, would have no objection to keeping His words accurate.
No, it's not wrong.
Take another look at your answers. What you're telling me is that atheists are unwilling to consider creationists trustworthy until creationists take the same mindset as an atheist.
For example --- look at your answer about my contention that there's no evidence for the Flood:
- Yes, because you believe in the Flood nonetheless.
Our faith can only be as strong as the accuracy of God's Word:
[bible]Romans 10:17[/bible]
And given the fact that we are going to be judged from what's written therein, I'd say God, whose name is Jealous, would have no objection to keeping His words accurate.
Respond to this, FishFace:Please answer this with a rational response.
