But what about the crazy drivel that they
trot out to "prove" their point??
That's gotta convince you of something!
This creationist stuff didn't even convince me (or sound in the least plausible) when I believed in their god.
Not that you' ve admitted to your original nonsense
re how the Gulf was formed, nor dealt with
that you flat out lied about / mocked me,
so the "humility" does not seem to
run very deep.
If you want a crux, it's that after the
performance you've put on there's
no way I will waste further time on
anything you have to say.
Me Neither, but it did strike me as Bibliolatry and a gross violation of the commandment to have no greater idols.This creationist stuff didn't even convince me (or sound in the least plausible) when I believed in their god.

Yet, you can't prove that the Gulf of Mexico wasn't formed by an asteroid. How do you know the smaller crater didn't come immediately after a larger hit? To my knowledge, no one has tested off the cost of Florida, Texas, Mississippi or Mexico for other asteroid debris. So how are YOU so sure it's not there?
Which brings me to my next point; if you can't prove me wrong; about what formed the Gulf of Mexico; how are you so sure that I am. Do you have the humility to admit you could possibly be wrong about how it was formed?
It was during the Jurassic, approximately 140–160 million years ago, that the shape of the Gulf of Mexico as we know it was formed.

If you'd like a summary of the current understanding of the formation of the Gulf of Mexico check here:
Gulf of Mexico basin - Wikipedia
Which puts the full formation of the general aspects of the Gulf at least 75 million years before the Chicxulub crater formed.
What God has done and said in the book that he created that we colloquially call the earth and the universe as used to interpret other sources.If you are a Christian and the Scripture is not your authority on what God has done and said; than what is your authority? How do you know anything you may (or may not) believe about Jesus Christ is real?
Funny thing about the Bible; it's either all true or none of this matters.
What do you think of the assumed infallibility
of those who claim to know their chosen interpretation
of the Bible is somehow the word of God?
Seems like self worship.

Yet another violation of the commandments as taught to me by my Jewish girlfriend many years ago.What do you think of the assumed infallibility

I'll do some investigation on the theories of the formation of the Gulf of Mexico. Which it could be accurate that there is a time lapse here, because there was passage of time between the flood and the dividing of the continents. And undoubtedly some of the formation of the Gulf of Mexico had do do with continental plate shifting and the formation of the mid-Atlantic ridge.
Which led us to science and the search for a young earth which Christian scientists concluded was not the case hundreds of years ago in their striving for a greater understanding of both scripture and God's creation.One would know their interoperation of Scripture is correct when comparing Scripture to itself. That's what the Scripture tells you to do; compare it to itself.
Now it's a big book with a lot of intricacies; which one may not have found all the information Scripture has to offer on a topic; which of course could lead to incomplete understanding and faulty interpretation.
Which of course requires the humility to say to God: "I don't understand this book; help me!"
Plate tectonics isn't compatible with a global flood model of a young Earth. Are you proposing different timings than the ones established by geology?
As the saying goes, two rabbis, three opinions. You study all of the works.How do you know you're interpreting creation correctly though? If "out of the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses are all things established" where's your second or third witnesses?

Because they believe in the future of humanity?@Estrid & @Hans Blaster - So, why are you guys responding to this thread? If all of us creationists and Christians are just idiots and full of bologna; than..... why "waste your time"?
