If you expect to debate Christians without hearing things that floor you, I can only suggest you need to get out more.

Yep, one gets used to flood believers shooting themselves in the foot after a while.

But you do realize that you have now claimed that the flood occurred long before "Noah" came along, don't you?

Where did I say it floored me? I've heard that ole argument for years now. It's just as silly and nonsensical now as it was back then (indeed, I recall you making it back on CARM, and others making it there and elsewhere on other fora). And it still doesn't help your argument, but rather only hurts it.

Your little "spoiler" is supported by scripture. I asked where the support was for Adam, Eve, Noah, and families speaking Jacobian English and this being the original language of Genesis 1-10.
Then read the post, please.

And I'll ask you what I asked others, so I can add you to my DIDN'T ANSWER list:

Genesis 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

What language was that, in your opinion?

That is only because you have no idea how long it would take to get rid of over five miles of water without leaving a mark.

Maybe Hebrew? The earliest manuscripts are in Hebrew.

I have no idea what language it was - was ora tradition until the Israelites wrote it down in Hebrew, though.

Why Jacobean English?

There is no reason to think that that would be Jacobean English.

Why Jacobean English?
Because Jacobean English is the language of the King James Bible, which is God's seventh and final Version prior to His return.

Psalm 12:6 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

And as I showed, there are books in Heaven.

And we know the words of God are eternal.

That means they had no beginning and will have no end.

That means there's a copy of the Bible ... written in Heaven, before It was written on Earth.

My OPINION is that It is in Jacobean English -- not Hebrew, Greek, or Swahili.

Too bad it's not more clear.
Ya ... then you could outright deny it and act like you know what you're talking about at the same time.

Genesis 1 is very clear, and denied by those who think they know what they're talking about.

Is this your opinion, as an Asian American?

If there was no rain before the flood, why didn't the rivers rapidly run dry?
Genesis 2:6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

I deny it because your middle eastern creation myth was blatantly copped from earlier myths, and simply doesn't comport with reality.

Pretty simple, really.

You can deny it all you want, but what you can't do is swear I made it up and be right.
