If its a big enough mower it might work.

Don't know of any that move across water. But you get the point. Trying to use science to find God is a wasted effort. That's not what it does.

"Noah lived in present-day New Jersey."

Isn't it wonderful, what some people can find in the Bible?

Or have evangelicals nowadays given up sola scriptura in favour of their own imaginations?

Sola scripture is already a deviation from scripture, since the Bible itself says that it is not the only authoritative source of information about God and His purposes.

Not much in there about New Jersey. But if it's true, I bet it was Patterson.

No it doesn't. The Catholic Church is keen on nothing so much as trying to inflate its own importance.

I use the bible exclusively for my instruction. I base everything off of scripture. I am doing quite well spiritually. Of course i am not boasting, that would be foolish i think, but sola scripture isn't a contradiction, so i testify.

Where do you think he lived specifically?

Genesis 6:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.

Pitch can be got from all sorts of plants, including birch trees. What specific chemical, going by the name of pitch, the biblical author had in mind (if any) is anybody's guess.

Are you referring to John 5?

If so, I agree
But CHRIST's VOICE/SPIRIT will not contradict the (written) WORD of GOD

And vice verse

Many can read the (written) WORD and still not be saved

They'd have to come to HIM first believing that HE is able to save completely all those who draw near to HIM

I'm going to assume you don't have a specific place in mind.

But it doesn't bother you to interrogate those who do, does it?

Sols scriptura, my boy, sola scriptura - at least so far as theology is concerned (not science).

I think I'll add another (4th) standard to my Boolean standards:
  1. Bible says X, science says X = go with X
  2. Bible says X, science says Y = go with X
  3. Bible says Ø, science says Y = go with Y
  4. Bible says Ø, science says Ø = speculate

Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.

Thess. 2:15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.

Sola Scriptura stands in opposition to scripture. It's important to take the word of God as it is, without exceptions.

But it doesn't bother you to interrogate those who do, does it?
