The first was a sarcastic nod to the current debate going on... The second was a real response.Now, you're talking like a scientist.
Is that a YES or a NO?
I don't know if you noticed this or not, but I was actually agreeing with you.The first was a sarcastic nod to the current debate going on... The second was a real response.
Please, please tell me you knew that.
I acknowledged how I felt about the opposition to your comment with the first sentence. Then I stated what I thought. It seems obvious to me that I agree with your statement, however you posted this:I don't know if you noticed this or not, but I was actually agreeing with you.
If the Flood came by natural means, as you said Orogeny is saying, and the earth is not hiding another Pacific Ocean somewhere, then where did the water go?
(I'm trying to help you out here.)
Maybe I should be asking Orogeny?
Which incited the comment, and no, I'm not a scientist.Now, you're talking like a scientist.

Read the last couple pages, maybe you'll understand.Maybe I should be asking Orogeny?
Ok.Regardless of what natural process he worked through, GOD did DOIT.
Not really. I guess we could dehydrate all of the hydrous minerals in the crust, free all the ground water, melt the ice sheets, and make the pre-flood ocean super shallow. We could also raise the overall temperature of the water, making it expand by something like 0.2%. Even so, I'd probably be left with a pretty serious deficit. I guess I could say that the average elevation was higher (post-flood isostatic subsidence?) and the maximum elevation was lower (Everest has been growing pretty rapidly since then, about 6cm/yr), but I'm not sure that would help my case much.I wouldn't be. Do you have any source on this enough water to cover the earth claim?
Well...Why? If we find it impossible what is the point? Or if we find it possible? There is still no speaking to whether it did happen.
God only preserved one tribe, so there was only one tribe to tell about it?One hundred? You said they repopulated, and they must have spread far and fast in order for us to see as little interruption as we do. It seriously only survived in the oral tradition of one small (not particularly literate I understand) tribe? I don't see this as viable at all.

But that tribe spread out all across Asia, in a span so fast, we never noticed it in any of those civilization's records, nor by any other indicator.God only preserved one tribe, so there was only one tribe to tell about it?
(I think I may have done this already)Ok I really just want to hear everyone's opinions on the flood. I believe in the Word so I am considered a creationist, but the ark get's a lot of controversy between creationists and evolutionists.
Anyways, Noah's Ark people: Did it happen? Yes or No
Thank you, sis, but I can't accept any natural explanations as to the Flood -- I just can't.Tas Walker's Biblical Geology - Where did all the water go?
God changed the depth of the oceans? That change doesn't happen natural over 3,000 years, so God must have done it with divine power. This really doesn't advance anything at all.
Perhaps it went back to the fountains of deep and the windows of heaven. If the dove brought back a olive leaf where did that come from? Just what was destroyed by the flood if it was not the olive trees.where did the water go?
Wait! Wait! Wait! I know!Perhaps it went back to the fountains of deep and the windows of heaven. If the dove brought back a olive leaf where did that come from? Just what was destroyed by the flood if it was not the olive trees.
Anything that has survived for 3500 years is far from irrelevant.Wait! Wait! Wait! I know!
It is a made-up, irrelevant story!

You do know the Hindu sacred texts (The Vedas) are much older than the bible, right?Anything that has survived for 3500 years is far from irrelevant.
I believe that God took the waters back off the earth, like He did in Genesis 1 when He formed the water canopy -- or possibly a giant ice cube in space, whatever shape it was.Perhaps it went back to the fountains of deep and the windows of heaven. If the dove brought back a olive leaf where did that come from? Just what was destroyed by the flood if it was not the olive trees.
Wait? Why does it matter. The christian god (if he exists) is infinite, so why does it matter how he did it? Are we talking about the methods Jesus (allegedly) used to multiply the bread and fishe?I believe that God took the waters back off the earth, like He did in Genesis 1 to form the water canopy -- or possible giant ice cube in space, whatever shape it was.
Anyway, I believe that God took the waters back off the earth, including most of the waters from 'the fountains of the deep', along with some debris, and placed them elsewhere in our solar system, to serve as a "reminder" to other angels of what happened the year of the Flood.
Paul says that we entertain angels unaware, and that tells me that angels walk this earth incognito; and I would venture to say they have a cosmic reminder of what happened, just in case any of them get any ideas.
The dove that bringing back the olive leaf, tells me that God "hypergrew" the earth again, just as He did in Genesis 1 -- and that the earth was green once more.
Again, this is pure speculation on my part.
Um ... no.You do know the Hindu sacred texts (The Vedas) are much older than the bible, right?
Why does what matter?Wait? Why does it matter.
It doesn't matter -- I believe He completely orchestrated the Flood from the beginning to beyond the aftermath.The christian god (if he exists) is infinite, so why does it matter how he did it?
What?Are we talking about the methods Jesus (allegedly) used to multiply the bread and fishe?
