That would be like asking him to admit he's wrong, he can't do that, he's 74, he's got too much invested to change now,
all he can do is hope for the best, it won't make any difference when he's dead anyway so good luck to him.
What does it matter if he believes nonsense? who can he hurt? tell him the flood happened and that he's been right all along.
Sorry, no. That isn't how it works. The tides don't deposit a lot of sediment ever time they come in and out.In fast rushing water that contained lots of material yes, but a slow moving flood would deposit its sediments rather quickly, and the bodies wouldn't sink until some time later and would rest on or near the surface, to decompose rather quickly.
Link?In ask an astrophysicist thread, the guy just did exactly that. You think he is a closet creo?
Wrong again. Scientists did NOT assume present rates. That is false and will be false every time you say it. Early scientists LOOKED for evidence that things were not always the same and found none.No. They assume present rates. Any looking they do also does the same..assume a present state first and always and only. No wiggling out of it, so called science is religion.
Are you really going to sit there and bald-faced lie about what I said? I specifically said they did NOT simply believe the physics was the same. How do you get "the simply believe the physics was the same" out of my statement of just the opposite?Right, they simply believe physics was the same! Thanks for that.
You obviously do or you wouldn't have spent years trying to convince people of this "different state past" hypothesis of yours. For which, BTW, you have NEVER presented any evidence.I say phooey on what they believe. Who cares?
So uncertainty is poison? Let me guess, you think mistakes are the same as lies too, right?Again, I say phooey on what they believe. Who cares? They either know, or any godless blather they spout must be treated like poison.
Unfortunately your model is not supported by the evidence.My model is supported by the story and vice versa, that no one except the eight survived. I cannot address suppositions that contradict the story, only those that support it.
That article doesn't agree with your flood model at all. They argue that the Flood was not global in scope which is completely at odds with your model.This article attacks the YEC model and is in general agreement with me (I believe in GAP theory). Noah's flood was inconsequential in regard to the earth's geology.
And yet you keep claiming that some of the story may be taken as "poetic language". How do you determine what is poetic language in the story and what is not? Please tell me it isn't determined just by which parts support your hypothesis.The first 'evidence' is the story itself (bible scholars generally agree that it is presented as an actual event). There are no human survivors save the those on the ark. You are speculating outside of the bounds of the story. All of my speculations are safely within the bounds of the story.
That makes no sense at all. A flood a million years ago that lasted a couple of weeks would leave far less evidence that a global Flood 4500 years ago that lasted a year.A million year old flood will leave more evidence than a one year flood will.
That would be like asking him to admit he's wrong, he can't do that, he's 74, he's got too much invested to change now,

The post was 147..Link?
False. Of course they do.Wrong again. Scientists did NOT assume present rates. That is false and will be false every time you say it. Early scientists LOOKED for evidence that things were not always the same and found none.
So the laws were not the same, you claim? Try to be clear...not that anyone cares, because the issue is what science CLAIMS!!I specifically said they did NOT simply believe the physics was the same. How do you get "the simply believe the physics was the same" out of my statement of just the opposite?
Lying about God's creation is poison, which makes the bald faced religious prophesies of so called science foul waters also. Deadly.So uncertainty is poison?
They aren't going to be solved. Get over it. Man will never save himself. The planet is doomed. You may save a tree and a whale, but science also enables killing hundreds of millions of babies per decade. They may reduce emissions in some hotty tot countries, but we also have Russia and other countries practicing with their nukes for the inevitable.Are the world's problems going to be solved by someone who's parents raised them to respond "science can take a hike" any time they encounter inconvenient evidence?
When you put it like that God would seem to be the only answer, where is he? have you seen him around lately?They aren't going to be solved. Get over it. Man will never save himself.

Those who know our salvation will only come from God on High, and relegate man's wisdom to it's little sinners place are doing well indeed.
But I guess I don't have to tell those with a christian icon this...?
I can't adequately convey just how disturbing I, as a Christian, find it when other Christians engage in this kind of "we're all doomed anyway, why fight it?" style of, for want of a better word, "logic".When you put it like that God would seem to be the only answer, where is he? have you seen him around lately?
have you ever seen him around? has anyone?
Please don't be offended just because I asked, but why on earth would you believe something like that?Yes, I believe in Christ's second coming and the Biblically foretold end of the World.
It's a basic tenet of the faith that all Creed observant Christians believe.Please don't be offended just because I asked, but why on earth would you believe something like that?

Why do atheists like us believe gods don't exist even though technically there isn't much evidence against the existence of gods in general? Sure, specific gods to some religions of the past and present have significant enough issues in their concepts to be questionable to say the least, but as far as gods in general that doesn't apply. While obviously the reasoning behind it is going to be different, to claim no gods exist without any evidence is just as blatantly flawed as claiming they do without any evidence. It just so happens that people who claim gods do exist tend to get into specifics that make their claims more prone to having flaws.
Not really, it's because we have no evidence of a god we can clearly say as of now, there is no god.
Please don't be offended just because I asked, but why on earth would you believe something like that?
I know what it is I ask why on earth you would believe it.It's a basic tenet of the faith that all Creed observant Christians believe.
