Science vs. Evolution

[Cabal]

Pluto, as a verb, was chosen as the American Dialect Society's word-of-the-year for 2006.

But we like homonyms!

St-Christophered it is!

You letting that bit about "evolutionary doctrine" slip by as in acknowledging it as a legitimate description?

No, I just didn't really address that point as it was a non-starter.

Goodness, if I had to stop and pick apart EVERY mistake in certain posts I'd never leave this place.

Wait a second...a book that could have been part of the Bible but isn't is described as LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO the Bible?

Um ... try LESS THAN EQUAL TO.

It has two underscores.

That makes no sense.

That makes no sense.

what did you expect?

One way to deal with it is not to see or comment on posts except occasionally when they are viewed as part of someone elses response.

LOL -- what do you want me to do about it?

You mean like, put them on IGNORE, then hope someone quotes them so you can read what they said?

You're the one who thinks it's a symbol - post an explanation. Because I've never heard of "less than equal to" - and apart from anything else, that particular string of words doesn't make a lick of sense. Something can't be less than equal, it either is or it isn't.

I try to, but even single responses can develop (or deteriorate, in some cases) into long exchanges sometimes.

Whatever exactly Pluto actually is, at least its real.

Kind of like following the zoo train around to see if goes back to where it started from

Run CHARMAP and look at it yourself, then -- it's under "Cambria Math".

While looking at the monkeys yelling and flinging their poo, now you're getting it!

So is earth, air, fire and water; but Aristotle stunted the growth of science for over 2000 years with them.

(I know, he only lived a fraction of that length.)

Factoring out your uniformitarian baloney -- gestation periods could have been shorter in Noah's time.

Put the same-state-past paradigms away, please.

You do realise that it is a sin to misquote the Bible and to misinterpret it the way you do!

I promise to put in a good word for you to the devil when you emigrate to the subterranean tropics!

Did you read what i wrote? Noah had additional children (Gen 9: 1), the maths therefore works out fine, then you have the gap of 100 years or more. There are no problems here.

You say the math works out to expand the population by a factor of 75,000 from 4 breeding families to more than 600,000 people in 100 years. I suggest you do the math. With a population growth rate of 5%/year which is more than twice that of any known human population, let alone a bronze age population you grow from 8 to 1,200 people in 100 years a far cry from 600,000.

So people who don't believe what you believe are a 'joke'? Why do you think everyone has to believe the same?

You can believe that 4 families gave rise to more than 600,000 people in 100 years and that those people built a tower it took 3 days to walk around was 70 miles high and that God punished them by turning some into Neanderthals and some into elephant headed people who looked like the Indian God Ganesh if you want to but don't expect anyone capable of logical thought to take you seriously.

Yes, as it explains neanderthals were a result of the Tower of Babel.

Now we just need to find some fossils of elephant headed people and we'll be all set.

You asked who neaderthals were or how they fit with the Bible. I provided a historical source, i can provide you others as well.

I would say the video was a hysterical source not a historical source.

 

[tanzanos]

those people built a tower it took 3 days to walk around was 70 miles high

Cassiteredes is a sock puppet Troll. Unless of course he can explain to us how Neanderthals could survive building in heights where there is almost no oxygen and blood would boil due to the almost absence of pressure?

Hey Cassiteredes why don't you answer my question on the dinosaurs?

The gap is about 106 years from the flood to the Tower of Babel.

We don't know how many additional son's Noah had, secondly the Book of Jasher may be wrong on the exact figure at Babel, so debating the maths is pretty pointless. You asked how the Neanderthals fit in with the Bible, i provided the historical evidence that the phenotpye was changed after the dispersion at Babel. I can also give you other sources.

Biblical Antiquities of Philo: The Biblical Antiquities of Philo: Chapter VII

Pseudo-Philo, The Biblical Antiquities:

''VII. 5 Howbeit when the people that dwelt in the land had begun to build the tower, God divided their speech, and changed their likeness.''

You can believe that 4 families gave rise to more than 600,000 people in 100 years and that those people built a tower it took 3 days to walk around was 70 miles high and that God punished them by turning some into Neanderthals and some into elephant headed people who looked like the Indian God Ganesh if you want to but don't expect anyone capable of logical thought to take you seriously.

And i don't take your fairytale that man came from apes or rocks seriously either.
