  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

If you would be using evidence from the earth itself and if the earth was actually created by your god, wouldn't that evidence be "linked with God"?


Or does this mean you are going to continue to neglect evidence and not use any to support your arguments and proclaim automatic infallibility "because the Bible says so"?

When you say scientific evidence, you mean physical things that can be seen right, by whose sandard?

Scientific evidence has a specific definition.

But I am not even after scientific evidence. All I want is for you to answer my question because you claimed that the same evidence could be looked at in two different ways. But you have yet to manage it with this piece of evidence.

Cats were not in Australia. Why? Provide me with a biblical answer to this question if you cannot find a scientific one. Those two things are the only things we can go on here, aren't they, so an answer must be in one of them.

Ok,

What evidence do you have that there was less water before the flood?
Where did this new water come from?
How could the current water volumn have flooded the earth in the first place?


(assuming the last answer has to do with plate tectonics and shifting mountains),
What evidence is there that everything was shorter then?
How could these things grow in a short amount of time, without creating chaos?

How did the flood sort the geological column and fossils into their current organization?
What strata in the geological column is pre flood, during flood and post flood?
etc.

also, remember, that you claimed that if you looked at the evidence in a different way, it would show a flood.

Let me take this as an example, we will go back to the water volume on earth, I see it as result of the global flood, for example as the remanants of the flood. Let us take it from here shall we.

Again, then why isn't there enough water for the event to occur in the first place as Arikay previously demonstrated here?:

If you have nothing substansive to add to the discussion, then don't bother hitting the reply button. You've already wasted numerous pages of this thread on claiming automatic infallibility without actually presenting or addressing evidence.

One reason could be that they would not have been able to survive on their own. Cats are pets, that might be a reason, as they are generally with people.

Umm, feral cats - in other words, cats that are not pets - invest the whole of Australia, from rain forest to desert to temperate to snow to coastal to ... they are bloody everywhere.

Cats survive on their own in Australia very, very well.

Sorry, you will have to try again. But it is good to see that you are presenting scientific hypotheses - ones that can be falsified.

Because,

With current mountains it would require 3 Times the amount of water on the entire earth, not to mention that the majority of the water on the earth is unusable for a flood.

So, where did all that water go? and where was it stored before the flood?

Alessandro said:
You are referring to the one you posted earlier Arikay, correct? When they seemed to state that there was no such water that could provide for a global flood, correct? How did they know that say 4000 years ago that that was not so?
