Noah's Ark and the Cheetah

[Split Rock]

The field of molecular genetics is not yet out of the baby nursery. My mom is older. I've been to a house that's older. I have aspirin in my medicine cabinet that may be older.

And that means what?..... Absolutely nothing?

You call Christianity "magic" which has occult connotations. You constantly promote your antichrist viewpoint of creation.

How does "magic" have occult connotations? Of course there is more than one meaning of the word "occult" and the actions of your God would be "occultic" by those definitions. You do realize that the word "occult" applies to your God. Every definition except for the first one, and even that could be stretched a bit to accommodate you God, applies to your God:

I'd say that the admins have been very lenient with you.

And they have been even more lenient with you.

The first question I'd ask is, why is this person wishing to prove the bible wrong? What spirit is influencing them to do that? What is their motive?

There's nothing in the bible wrong so it's really a moot question. Worthless, really.

There's nothing "in the bible wrong"? Besides being bad English, of course there are errors and mistakes in the Bible. Let's forget about the bad science for now. And the bad geography. How about the bad morals? I thought that we agreed that it is immoral to kill babies? The Bible does not say so. I would hope that you think that slavery is immoral. The Bible does not say so. The Bible supports life long slavery. You can even abuse your slaves severely and it is still okay with the Bible.

Why would you call the christian God a lunatic?

That's the way YOU portray him. If you' re unhappy about that, blame yourself.

Unfortunately the bible was already changed, the stories of Gilgamesh came first, the life of Jesus is virtually an exact copy of the life of Gilgamesh who lived a thousand years before Jesus, everything you associate with Jesus happened to Gilgamesh first. (lot's of other people as well) Read about Gilgamesh and see for yourself.

The stories of Gilgamesh did not change the bible.

The Bible is a retelling of many of the stories in the Enuma Elish.

When have I ever done so? You have it backwards as usual, you give a false high level to humanity.

Do you think about what you post? You claim to not devalue humanity and then post "you give a false high level to humanity". Nuff said.

Wrong again, there may be an "antirejectionofreality" spirit in my posts. You are opposed to reality.[/ingOUOTE]

No, there's a definite underlying antichrist spirit.

If your claim is true you should be able to support it with links. I can support my claims. Amateurs often do not know what they are actually observing.

I can support it with many years of observing flood waters rise and recede. Your denial of the fact is simply
an indication of your lack of real world experience.

Nope, once again you have failed utterly. All you have done is to illustrate your bias against reality. And you have barely scratched the surface of this problem. Let's run over your failures so far. Floods do not produce meanders. You made a bogus claim "I have seen it". That is worthless in a debate. I gave you a link with a very simple explanation of how meanders forms that I hoped was simple enough for you to understand. Either you did not read it or you did not understand it. Floods at best will form a braided stream. That was not a braided stream. You can admit defeat and bow out if you like. Or you could not admit defeat and bow out. You have not even come close to winning.

Place the photo before you and conjure whatever conclusion you (with extreme bias) desire. I'm sure it helps you embrace your faith-based creationist views.

Your antichrist spirit is once again rearing it's ugly head. The antichrist spirit cannot honestly discuss the things of God without perverting it.

Give an example of where I've portrayed God as a lunatic.

Move on folks, nothing new to see here.

Do you really think that's an accusation worth pursuing?

So here's the problem.

If almost every mammalian species on earth was culled down to 2 members a mere 4000 years ago, why does only the Cheetah (and the southern elephant seal, and a handful of others) show this sort of lack of diversity?

I don't see the problem. This didn't happen.

Wrong, I was pointing out your errors. You have yet to shown how I ever "devalued humanity". This weak reply of yours shows that even you know that you are wrong.

On a related note, humans likely went through a bottleneck some time between 70,000 and 100,000 years ago.

Please, don't be silly. The fact that I can show that your beliefs are not only errant,but comically wrong only disproves your version of "God". It does not disprove the Christian God at all and is hardly "antichrist".

The stories of Gilgamesh did not change the bible.

The bible is a mish-mash of all the stories that came before, bits taken from here, there and everywhere, there is nothing in the bible (old or new testaments) that was not taken from previous stories from all over the middle east especially about Jesus and his life.

Why don't rewriters add a 67th book with Mohammad in It then?

If the Bible is so open-ended, why isn't It still being written?

In fact, where are the books on Darwin and Linnaeus?

One could put the Bible to a "scientific test". One could make hypotheses on what we would observe if the Bible was correct and what we would expect to observe if the at least the earliest books of the Bible were derived from other religious texts. I don't think too many of the creationists would be happy with the results of testing such hypotheses.

Different sects and religions have "closed" the Bible at different times. The Jews closed theirs first, most Christians closed theirs in the second century CE, the Muslims closed theirs later, and Mormons later yet.
