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.

Another non sequitur.
If you claim the moon is made of green cheese, and I ask for evidence for this, and your response is "My evidence is that it is NOT made of blue cheese!", should I accept it?
Sure - the evidence will be evaluated for relevance, veracity, etc., and if necessary rejected or accepted.
What is a "kind"?

The bible claim so yes, but its very modern to think this is a literal claim.
Modern ideas of "truth" is just that, modern.

It has to be considered, it can be accepted or rejected thereafter.
There just isn't any evidence that exists for 1,000 year old people in any scientific form. We don't observe such things for example.

I would expect people who assert (contra the bible) that Noah never existed, provide evidence to back their claim because...

Thats not how assertions work.
The one making a positive claim is the one that has to back up the assertion with facts and data.

Why? What is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. So far you have provided us with no evidence whatever for the Flood and the character Noah, except for the fact that the Earth is 2/3 covered with water.

Alas, thats not how debates work.
The Noah character appears to be a recent version of an older set of characters from Mesopotamian mythology.
Meanwhile, I am still waiting for a year, or at least a decade.

Was Noah a historical person?
Lion IRC - yes. Here's my evidence.

Most people don't have any conflict over the question of if someone existed in the past. Like Abraham Lincoln for example. Because the idea of someone existing in the past, isn't really controversial. The controversial aspects are those that tend to go against what we might intuitively thing. Such as the idea that a person could live a thousand years, or the idea that this person was on a boat during a flood that covered mt everest.
And in these instances, I'd say that it's fair to suggest that there is evidence to the contrary.
