Is the Flood a missing link in earth's history, is it?

Now you know why I think the Bible should be taught in history class, not science.

The Bible is not history since many of the "historical" events have been refuted and there is insufficient evidence for most of the historical claims. It is not history either.

 

[HitchSlap]

We know that, prior to the Flood,

Let me stop you right there, chief. Never happened.

Next.

 

[Ponderous Curmudgeon]

We were discussing velociraptor. A feathered dinosaur.

"birds are ducks but not all ducks are birds"
Hence ? Is it getting late?

 

[HitchSlap]

It is adaptation, a form of microevolution.

Creationists accept microevolution.

You're closer than you think, buddy.

Does it float?

How embarrassing. I got that backwards. Thank you. I will edit it.

Right ... and i'm Genghis Khan.

How were they refuted?

Absence of evidence?

I though absence of evidence wasn't evidence of absence in the classroom?

But then, the scientific method can take a hike, can't it?

I realize science thinks the Exodus didn't happen because they traipsed all over the Sinai Peninsula and didn't find pop cans, and port-a-potties, and used handkerchiefs, and whatnot.

But what's their excuse today for not going back over there with their updated gizmos?

Would I be correct if I assumed Egypt is tired of scientists moseying around in their yard all the time and won't let them?

 

[renniks]

No, it is not. It was lacking in quite a few bird traits. It was a dinosaur, like all birds are. But it was not a bird

Lol, that's some serious double speak.
Dino bird is just an extinct bird.
You use circular reasoning: " Birds have to be dinos because this dino is birdlike, therefore dinos evolved into birds. " Only I think your logic is even more convoluted than that.

 

[AV1611VET]

No evidence found ... right?

 

[Speedwell]

Lol, that's some serious double speak.

And you think that is all there is to it.

 

[renniks]

And you think that is all there is to it.

No, maybe it's " There's no more dinosaurs, but there's still birds, so obviously birds are actually dinosaurs."
Or "Dinosaurs evolved into birds, even though they both lived at the same time. "

 

[Speedwell]

No, maybe it's " There's no more dinosaurs, but there's still birds, so obviously birds are actually dinosaurs."
Or "Dinosaurs evolved into birds, even though they both lived at the same time. "

None of the above. Reminds me of that childish taunt, "If man evolved from monkeys, how come there are still monkeys?"

 

[renniks]

None of the above. Reminds me of that childish taunt, "If man evolved from monkeys, how come there are still monkeys?"

More like "Why are they still not evolving into humans? " Good question.

 

[Subduction Zone]

No, maybe it's " There's no more dinosaurs, but there's still birds, so obviously birds are actually dinosaurs."
Or "Dinosaurs evolved into birds, even though they both lived at the same time. "

Oh my. Sorry, this is just such a poor argument. You should be trying to learn. I can only shake my head at people that think because Americans are descended from Europeans that there can't be any Europeans today.

 

[Subduction Zone]

More like "Why are they still not evolving into humans? " Good question.

LOL!!

Why aren't Europeans becoming Americans?

 

[Speedwell]

More like "Why are they still not evolving into humans? " Good question.

Why should they?

 

[renniks]

Why should they?

If it happened once, it's inevitable. Why would it not continue?

 

[Speedwell]

LOL!!

Why aren't Europeans becoming Americans?

Yeah, I wondered about that. My ancestors were Germans. But, surprise! There are still Germans.

 

[renniks]

LOL!!

Why aren't Europeans becoming Americans?

They are if they move to America.

 

[Speedwell]

If it happened once, it's inevitable. Why would it not continue?

If it happened once, it happened once. Why does that make it inevitable?

 

[Speedwell]

They are if they move to America.

And the ones that don't move to America are still Europeans.
