My Sanitary Challenge

[AV1611VET]

If no data or evidence will ever convince you, that you are wrong, stop trying to convince others with "evidence" that you are right, we call that cherry picking.

What evidence do I appeal to?

I'm second to none here in saying there is no evidence for [you name it].

The only two exceptions where I claim evidence is:

1. White cliffs and meandering rivers.
2. A list of cause-and-effect evidence.

I even claim my magnum opus here is a challenge thread that proves -- yes, proves -- that there is no evidence for the creation events.

But there are certain academians here that don't want anything to do with my challenges, and so they go on and beg and cajole and pester others to produce this, that, and the other thing for this, that, and the other things mentioned in the Bible.

Then I usually show up and QV them to one of my challenges, only to hear them put their head in the sand again, or their fingers in their ears and look away.

Reminds me of this passage:

Acts 7:57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord,

And once again you ignore the point that not only is there no physical evidence of a worldwide flood, but there is a massive amount of independently converging evidence for an entire geological history that could never have happened had such a flood occurred.

Do you realize, Strathos, that this Flood was on the Earth then off again in what would comparatively be considered a wink of the eye?

It's not like the Flood was here for decades, etching water damage into the Earth.

No it wasnt. And ”more magic” to try to explain it is an auto-loss.

Uh-huh.

Um ...

Do you see why I call these "challenges" now?

Because you think a "challenge" is any question in which you are vague and refuse to give the information required to give a good answer/confuse the meanings of homonyms and think it means something special when it's just a quirk of the english language?

Do you know OCT 31 = DEC 25?

If you made a challenge about that, you'd probably try to get people to think you were talking about calendars...

It could have been happening for just one second, with every last trace of it removed from the geological record, and it would still do nothing to explain the 4.5 billion year history of events embedded into our planet.

Your evidence is your interpretation of a religious document from over an eon ago.

I didn't say it was "good" evidence, just that you would like us to use it rather than physical evidence.

If you subjected it to the same rigorous doubt that you do everything else, your worldview would collapse.

By my standards it has already. If I had to appeal to completely undetectable omnipotent beings constantly to fill gaps in my world view I would consider it busted.

Flooding can and is often temporary.

Areas of the globe that used to be underwater for centuries also bare the marks but much of what we're talking about with flooding in geology are detectable events even though they are brief.

We also have these great places called deserts that are almost always dry. They would show evidence for a flood that all dated to the same time if the biblical story were true and no one used magic to erase the geological record for some reason.
