    Do all animals go to Heaven?

    This is something we can never know for sure, but we can hope. I read an interesting book that related experiences people have had with animals that had died. It's something that can make you go...hmmmm. The book is "Tails From the Afterlife."

    Evidences Supporting the Biblical Flood

    I know that I could not deal with living in a city. I try to avoid even smaller cities, and a city like Boston or larger is something I try to stay away from if at all possible. I worked for years on the outskirts of Boston, but didn't like all the traffic and congestion. Did it because it...

    Evidences Supporting the Biblical Flood

    I simply can't imagine living in a big city, but I know that many people absolutely love city living. I much prefer woods and trails and skies dark enough at night to clearly see the stars. And, yes, I agree...it won't happen!:)

    Evidences Supporting the Biblical Flood

    It's unfortunate that so many people live in what is almost a vacuum, never experiencing real-life interactions with the earth and animals. A few years of stall mucking teaches you that animals standing on wet dirty bedding for months are going to be in serious trouble. Seeing hay that has...

    Evidences Supporting the Biblical Flood

    It is not necessary to believe that everything in the Bible is literal in order to be Christian. Spirituality doesn't need to be bound to myths in order to be valid.

    Evidences Supporting the Biblical Flood

    Let's just reverse this a wee bit, okay? Rather than talking about "miraculously saving" those eight individuals, why don't we consider why God didn't destroy all of the wicked PEOPLE rather than destroying all life (animal, human, and plant) by means of a huge Flood...and then eliminating all...

    Evidences Supporting the Biblical Flood

    You are so, so correct. As I mentioned previously, I at one time believed in the Flood story. Then when I moved to a semi-rural area and acquired horses, I discovered from actual experience in dealing with livestock that many issues concerning the Ark and its supposed cargo were impossible to...

    Evidences Supporting the Biblical Flood

    You have a problem with claiming that the animals were in hibernation for a year. Those animals that do hibernate do so for only a few months, and during that time do require nourishment, which they (hopefully) were able to store before hibernating by consuming a massive amount of calories...

    Evidences Supporting the Biblical Flood

    Yes, seeds can be carried by the wind and establish themselves in new places. The problem with this idea with regards to a global flood, however, is that those seeds would have been submerged in brackish water for at least a year and would not have been viable. No viable seeds...no plants.

    Evidences Supporting the Biblical Flood

    What is really ridiculous is claiming that God had to handle all of these details and forgetting that God could have simply destroyed those humans who were wicked in the blink of an eye without having to micro-manage a global flood that would kill, not only the wicked humans, but millions of...

    Evidences Supporting the Biblical Flood

    Oh, my...35,000 animals on the Ark? Really? Even using Woodmorappe's estimate of 16,000 animals, there would not have been enough time in the day for eight people to feed, water, exercise, groom and care for even 16,000 animals, leaving no time whatsoever for the humans to eat, sleep or do...

    The Afterlife

    Ah, so you were brought up as a JW, as was I. I really didn't have any problem believing what I was taught as a JW until life experiences that occurred caused me to step back and rethink things. These experiences simply didn't fit with what I had been taught, so I've been researching various...

    Evidences Supporting the Biblical Flood

    Hay...yes, hay. Noah would have needed to stash away tons and tons of hay (along with any other specialized diet items needed by various animals) on the Ark. This never seemed to be a problem to me until I acquired several horses, then hay became a very major thing. Hay tends to lose...

    Evidences Supporting the Biblical Flood

    This is a great explanation by primitive people of people afflicted with gigantism. Seeing such huge humans without having any understanding of genetics would automatically scream "These huge people MUST be angels because they are so much bigger and stronger than any regular human!" And yet...

    The Afterlife

    This is a subject I find to be quite fascinating. I was brought up to believe that there was no such thing as an afterlife, but rather that God would resurrect those who were faithful into a New System. I continued to believe this even after leaving that religion, but then various things...

    Evidences Supporting the Biblical Flood

    Are you really, truly stating that all of the water that was supposedly covering the earth during the Biblical Flood is now encapsulated in the North and South poles and in more ocean than was present before? Do you honestly believe that if all of the water currently being held in glaciers and...

    Evidences Supporting the Biblical Flood

    So the basic explanation for this is "goddidit." Whenever a Flood believer cannot produce logical explanations, it's always back to "goddidit." Since God had to handle every little aspect of this as far as you're concerned, why couldn't he have just as easily destroyed only the wicked humans...

    Evidences Supporting the Biblical Flood

    Well, if you grew up as JW, and have always been considered to be a "good JW" and a "mature Christian," then it is not likely that you hold any degrees whatsoever, since your main goal in life should have always been to pioneer or, at the very least, spend as much time as possible out in...

    Evidences Supporting the Biblical Flood

    We could also add that various civilizations in existence at the time of the supposed Flood show no disruptions in their existence. Additionally, there are major logistical problems with the provisioning of the Ark for the animals as well as the maintenance of all of those animals, even if we...

    New to this site hi

    Your "weird" side is, I think, something that all humans possess to one degree or another. Unfortunately, those who possess such abilities to a greater degree than most are often made to feel as if they are somehow doing something evil by those who are not as, shall we say, gifted in this...
