Why are there no cows in the Devonian?

[EternalDragon]

I said this once and will repeat, if anything like that would have ever happened, at any time in the past, it would have left (literally) mountains of evidence. Your link presents none, zero, zilch, nada.

It has. I've just read about it in what evidence they do have in formulating what the extinction events were. Siberian Traps? Increases Co2? Decreased oxygen? Emeishan Traps in China? Global warming?

 

[CabVet]

Are you a scientist? Do you understand a little bit math language? Or am I talking to a wrong person and has to go to a lower level?

Ad hominem, you use it every time you lose an argument. It's becoming a pattern.

You had your chance of learning. Bye.

 

[CabVet]

Your links, they don't say what you think they do. None of that is support for a global flood.

 

[CabVet]

You had your chance of learning. Bye.

So long. I am surprised though that you didn't leave with another ad hominem.

Increased CO2 and Decreased oxygen suggests hotter temperatures, not more water.

You must have missed the part about runaway subduction raising the ocean floor up. There is the same amount of water here now as there was prior to the flood. Although some has remained frozen near the poles.

If you saw the earth prior to the flood, you'd probably be surprised.

I think I might have said this before, but I guess I will say it again anyways. If anything like what you describe had ever happened, at any point in time, it would leave mountains of evidence. There is none.

But can you please stop derailing the thread and explain why there are no cows in the Devonian?

Noah's flood is one of those biblical stories that made atheism appeal to me.

Did the story of Purim do the opposite?

Or does your belief system only flow one way?

 

[PsychoSarah]

Not familiar with that one. What book and chapter is that?

 

[AV1611VET]

Not familiar with that one.

Again, that doesn't surprise me one bit.

What book and chapter is that?

Esther

(Be careful reading it though, according to your logic, you might get saved.)

Wouldn't that be something to hoot about?

 

[PsychoSarah]

Again, that doesn't surprise me one bit.

Esther

Sorry, it has been a few years since I read the bible, and it was a bit of a forced read.

 

[PsychoSarah]

Don't know why I would believe in god because of a story from the only book in the bible that never uses the word god. But it is a nice story.

 

[AV1611VET]

You did pretty good agreeing on the negative parts:

Same, along with God ordering the killing men, women and children of conquered cities, but sparing virgins.

Yeah,

But the positive parts suddenly give you amnesia, don't they?

 

[CabVet]

No, it's not the positive parts that give me amnesia, it is the inconsistency that does. There are plenty of nice stories in the Bible, the sermon of the mount being one of the nicest. But there are many horrible ones too.

 

[AV1611VET]

Why?

The Flood story can help make you an atheist; but the Purim story from the same Book can't help make you a believer?

 

[PsychoSarah]

It is a human tendency. But I looked it up. Looks like I just forgot the word Purim. I am awful with names. It is one of the more positive stories. I know the bible stories pretty well still, but not their names so much. Haman has some pride issues. The fact that Esther was forced to be in a harem still doesn't sit well with me.

 

[PsychoSarah]

Why?

The Flood story can help make you an atheist; but the Purim story from the same Book can't help make you a believer?

God didn't do anything in that story. It is a story of humanity, not divinity.

 

[AV1611VET]

You know ... in a lab, I would guess they would call that "balance;" but since it came from the Bible, it's an "inconsistency," isn't it?

Ecclesiastes 3:3 A time to kill, and a time to heal;

To a scientist, this is an "inconsistency," isn't it?

If it is a balance, then why call it the good book?
