What was preposterous was the idea that a flat farther, like Morse, deserves to be taken seriously.

OK. thanks for clearing that up.

So individuals don't each have the genetic diversity that science says they do?

They do, but a handful of people just five millennia ago is not nearly enough to result in the diversity that we see today. Especially since all of the men involved would have had the same Y chromosome.

Even without taking the history of human migration and civilizations into account, it's simply impossible.

The world was divided up again after the flood.
You don't believe there was an ark? Have you ever seen
the bow that God placed in the sky to promise us that He will never again destroy the world by a flood/water?

The rainbow is just a result of refraction of light. The continents broke up over a hundred million years before people existed.

What you propose would have killed Noah and family too.

Mizraim is a son of Ham, son of Noah (Genesis 12:10).

You're presuming that these people actually existed.

 

[Kenny'sID]

Of course not. You need to learn some basic geology.

Of course not. You need to learn some basic geology. In fact they are not the distribution predicted by a worldwide flood. They are evidence against a worldwide flood.

Once again you need to learn what is and what is not evidence. To have evidence you need a testable hypothesis to start with. That means you need to have a reasonable test to show whether your idea is right or wrong.

Your still copping out with the "you don't understand" defense. What you don't seen to be able to understand, even though it was explained to you, that in itself is no replacement for a defense.

Once again, "you don't understand God, or the Bible so, you lose". See how that sounds now?

All I can figure is that's attempt to make your opponent feel small/not knowledgeable, when in reality, when you cite only that, it makes you look like you have no defense. But even worse, the fact you feel you must use such tactics to begin with, tends to suggest you can only try to discredit the opponent, because you have nothing more. Or in short, shows how insecure your stance in all this..

The slab in question, known as Sania 115, dates from 1842 BCE and is on display at Harvard’s Semitic Museum. It identifies Joseph and his two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, and is inscribed with the words “6 Levantines: Hebrews of Bethel, the beloved.”

Sorry, just already refuted nonsense:

Here is a clue when people make outrageous claims like this. If they avoided peer review there is usually a reason that they did so. Just because you want to believe them is never a valid reason to believe anyone.

Hardly. Please, don't make false claims against me. There are really only two choices in this matter. Either you do not understand or you are lying. And I do not think that you are lying. If you want to learn people here will gladly help you.

Once again, "you don't understand God, or the Bible so, you lose". See how that sounds now?

If you could demonstrate that claim it would be valid. But you can't. I can demonstrate my claims. I would be more than happy to help you to understand.

That is simply not the case. You may use that tactic. I don't. I am here to help, not to put down. If anything you are projecting your tactics upon others. I have been more than polite even though you have been spouting rather ignorant nonsense. And I do believe that your errors have been explained to you before. Why do you persist in making the same errors year after year?

No false claim. There are only two choices in this matter, ether you produce the evidence and stop claiming ignorance by your opponent in place of producing...or not.

What do you want evidence of? Once again, I will gladly support any of my claims. You are overly sensitive. You made a claim that demonstrated no knowledge at all of the subject that you were talking about more than once. If someone claimed that the Earth goes around the Moon and that the Sun goes around both would not have snorted a bit at the person's lack of education?

Let's look at your claim that marine fossils on top of a mountain are "evidence" of a flood. The problem is that there is only a very limited amount of life alive at one time. That means that if everything died there would be only one thin layer of fossils. That is now what we see. We see mountains made of fossil bearing rock. All of that life could not have been alive at one point in time.

 

[Subduction Zone]

Here is just one example of a mountain that is chiefly made up of fossiliferous limestone:

Geologic Formations - Guadalupe Mountains National Park (U.S. National Park Service)

In this case it is a coral reef that existed for millions of years. Reefs are an excellent example of a slow growing geologic formation. Coral reefs cannot grow quickly. And please do not conflate the rate of individual coral growth with the growth of coral reefs themselves. That is a gross error. Reefs grow at the rate of milllimeters per year. Corals may grow up to several centimeters a year, but that again is not reef growth.

Here's a groovy video I found that talks about Noah's Ark, which happens to be my minor forté.

Your what?

Mr. Nye seems perplexed that "unskilled people" could build a wooden ship [sic].

Mr. Nye doesn't know his Bible, does he?

Exodus 31:1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
6 And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;
7 The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
8 And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
9 And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,
10 And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,
11 And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.

Minor forté.

In all the Bible, I feel I'm most proficient at discussing creationism, and second to that, the Flood.

So my major forté is creationism, and my minor forté is the Flood.

I'm not sure how anyone was supposed to know why you tacked on the word "minor," but whatever. Thank you for explaining how you came up with the phrase.
