Do you have any evidence (beyond the Bible, which is, of course, not acceptable in this instance since it was written by the subject)
Subjects. There were many.

that the subject's mind was overruled?
Your big rule seems to be 'Oh, we can't allow the bible, or anything from the bible, even when we are talking about things we only know from the bible'
That is your rule, not God's He says read His word, and believe. Why would I listen to your little tin pot rules? Ridiculous. It isn't one of your silly little textbooks, you know, save your rules for them. The bible and God are exempt! We may read at leisure, and believe, and consider it the best evidence available to man. Thats the real rules. Unless you have some evidence they were liars, or God is not real-that would be different. As it is, it is the default! The burden of proof rests on you, if you don't like it.

I don't need burden of proof, since this isn't science. Your claim is unfalsifiable. There's no possible way to invalidate a claim of "His mind was taken over by some unseen force!" Therefore, burden of proof cannot exist. Where did you learn about the concept of burden of proof from?

People around here flout it about all the time. I might as well give er a whirl. They claim that a past they dreamed up and cannot be evidenced is a default, and they have no burden of proof to support it. So I guess I can claim that the bible was inspired as a default! Good for the goose, good for the gander.

Dad sure is a smart fellow. I bet he can even tell us if Adam and Even had navels. And why the dinosaurs didn't make it on the ark. And why god decided to put lemurs only on Madagascar and kangaroos only in Australia. And why men and the males of other mammal species have non-functional nipples. And how and why god created the various races of men, e.g., did the Black race come about when god cursed Ham for viewing his naked father and laughing - or not?



Once dad gives us the correct answers to those questions - which of course evolution could never answer - then I'll have some more questions for him. Dad is such a highly-educated genius, we here should take advantage of learning from his great wisdom and command of scientific knowledge.

He already told us how Australia picked up the marsupials and then sailed to its current location after the "split". The only split is dad's total split from reality.

F.B.

And this "split" occurred, I assume, only five or six thousand years ago? (Is that about right, dad?)

After the split? I think you mean after the flood, which was a century before the split. Try and keep it together here, I know the years are marching on.

Who cares?

And why the dinosaurs didn't make it on the ark.

They were extinct, the land dinos, I am starting to think.

And why god decided to put lemurs only on Madagascar and kangaroos only in Australia.

Hyper evolution pre split, and continental movement on a grand scale.

And why men and the males of other mammal species have non-functional nipples.

Some women think they're cute.

And how and why god created the various races of men, e.g., did the Black race come about when god cursed Ham for viewing his naked father and laughing - or not?
More than viewing, a blow job, I suspect. But the answer is adapting, hyper adapting before the split sepecially.

Don't blame me that your particular education left you in the lurch as to any answers!

Well, I should have known better. Never kid a kidder, kids.

Wow, this is great stuff, Dad.

Could you explain the mechanisms of both "hyper-evolution" and "continential movement on a grand scale?"

Please give us more than "it was a pre-split world." We already know that. Tell us (in simple terms) what the specific mechanisms were.

Thanks! :)

Could you explain the mechanisms of both "hyper-evolution"
With the addition of the spiritual in the world, many things were different. With no decay, for example, radiation would not exist as it is now. Even things from the heavens, like cobalt rays, etc.
"The unit of dose is the gray (abbreviated Gy) which represents the absorbtion of an average of one joule of energy per kilogram of mass in the target material. This new unit has officially replaced the rad, an older unit (but still seen a lot in the radiation literature). One gray equals 100 rads. Absorbed Dose was originally measured for x-rays and gamma radiation but has been extended to describe protons and HZE particles. When used in predicting biological damage, a further distinction must be made as to the "quality" of the radiation. " http://www.nsbri.org/Radiation/HumanAffects.html
Add to this a different atmosphere, and many other things, and the result is lifespans were in the order of 9 1/2 centuries. Since the world is only 6000 years old, with men living near a thousand years, if not for the split, Adam would only be 5 generations or so away from us!



and "continential movement on a grand scale?"
We know it moved, and on a grand scale, it really isn't a mystery about that. In a world that was spiritual, we do not know exactly how it worked, except for some clues. For example, no radioactive decay. Some have theorized that there were layers. For example I have heard an idea that there used to be a spiritual level up above the clouds, for the spirits. At the time of Babel, they tried to build up to it, it was thought in this idea! Remember, this was before the split, so who knows. I don't. By this same token, one could imagine a spiritual layer below the earth. It is a known biblical fact that this is true. Where, we don't know, but of course Jesus went down and preached to some inmates there, and He wasn't hallucenating!
Let's say it was about the depth of the continental plates, being spiritual, it would not be subject to physical only laws, friction, etc. That is an example to try to wrap our minds around the concept. Exacly the properties, whether there was levels, etc. we do not know. But the properties of spiritual/physical are far far different than physical only, it is safe to say!
