It would appear the the creationists' god is not big on foresight.

And wait a minute.
God created a water shield to protect Earth from the Sun... that he himself created.
What?
There are other ways to prove things besides "you was there".
Yes, and it doesn't talk about "evil genes".
Those people are idiots. There's absolutely no reason to think there was ever a water canopy above the Earth, and a myriad of reasons to think there wasn't.
God doesn't need to cause rain. Rain happens because of the properties of water. It couldn't not rain, unless God stopped it for some strange reason.

Stopped it? there's the interpretation again. Perhaps it wasn't a natural thing YET. Not being stopped, but not a natural thing. We know that the oxygen concentration was higher, but what if air pressure was also different.

I see. So rain occurs due to the properties of water eh? there aren't other factors invoved?
rarely. You see, you need witnesses otherwise its circumstantial and simply interpretation.
Wouldn't that be an example of unintelligent design?It would appear the the creationists' god is not big on foresight.
Really?
Eye witnesses are not nearly as reliable as you seem to think they are. They make mistakes all the time. They can have conflicting reports. They can lie. Translations can be misunderstood. And an eyewitness can be circumstantial, depending on how they viewed the event in question.
People are convicted without eyewitness testimony all the time. The idea that you can't draw a conclusion unless someone was there to witness an event firsthand has got to be one of the most ridiculous notions creationists ever peddled.
What are your views of say Greek history or Roman history or Assyrian history?
If you reject the biblical historical records then you must also reject all historical records.
The Bible is the most accurate of all of them.
Which specific parts?
That's a ridiculous claim. There are things in the Bible that have been verified, and there are things that haven't. That I have to accept everything in the Bible just because some things are true is a silly notion.
Please demonstrate that the Bible is the most accurate historical record.
All of it. Do you reject history or not?
So you accept some Biblical writings as true history then? How about every book that claims it is truth from God and not from men?
I'm not going to go jumping through the hoops for people anymore. The info is out there. If you are sincerely searching for answers they can be found easily enough with google. Ancient copies of the Bible we have today exist and match nearly 100%. Science has also shown the bible to be extremely accurate in historical data.

Rubbish.No, he doesn't. A blind person can check all of the workings of the apparatus and verify for themselves that it would detect a sun if there really was one. This is true of ALL scientific equipment.
The universe.No Please cite these measureable effects,
How would you show the blind man that the photons are caused by the sun?and show that they were caused by God.
The blind man doesn’t know what you are pointing at. All he knows is that there is something called photons affecting the telescope. He doesn't know the cause of the photons.Because the telescope records photons when pointed at the Sun.
Radiowaves, like photons, exist right here on earth and can be easily verified to exist. The sun does not.You have never seen a radiowave, and yet you can use scientific experiments that are testable, repeatable, and verifiable to detect radiowaves.
The pixels are caused by the effects (photons) of the sun.There is no reason why pixels on the screen can not be made for touch instead of sight.
Blind people have retinas. If it was that simple, everyone with retinas would be able to see, even blind people.Do you know what sight is? Sight is the effect of photons striking your retina.
Did you flunk history class? What are your views of say Greek history or Roman history or Assyrian history? If you reject the biblical historical records then you must also reject all historical records. The Bible is the most accurate of all of them.
You really should be specific. Not everything about the history of those civilizations is completely settled.
Within reason, yes. Certain things depicted in the Bible did happen, and have been verified as such. The question is whether there was supernatural agency involved. I can accept that there was a King David - or someone like him, at least - without accepting that he had a deathmatch with a giant, the same way I can accept George Washington existed without accepting that he chopped down a cherry tree or that he had wooden dentures.
When have you ever jumped through any hoops? At best, what you do is copy stuff you find from creationist websites or through a lazy Google search. As if you actually put any real effort into any of the arguments you make.
Rubbish.
The blind man has to rely on the manufactured apparatus you provide and on the operations manual you provide, and follow the rules you provide.
The universe.
How would you show the blind man that the photons are caused by the sun?
The blind man doesnt know what you are pointing at.

How do you demonstrate to the blind man that the sun is the cause of those photons?
How do I demonstrate to a blind atheist that the Son is the cause of the universe?
Blind people have retinas. If it was that simple, everyone with retinas would be able to see, even blind people.
So what is real history and what is not and are you sure about it?
You are free to accept whatever you like. But it has nothing to do with biblical truth.
I really don't recall posting much from creationist sites.
They ask for citations. We give it then you complain about the citations.
If I am lazy then stop asking me for the evidence or for citations.
