The scientific community is not just people that agree with each other.
Breakthroughs are almost always made by people who go against the grain.
Wikipedia is generally biased as are you friend. You're not open yet I have been and that's why I looked into any of this in the first place...
Yes and the ideas I speak of are scoffed at or people attempt to suppress it.
Scientists and scholars are involved in that and more. For you to ignore it is you doing what you accused me of. Look into their peer reviews if necessary. But it's your prerogative. I just wanted to share.
So to you it's ok to kill a baby as long as it's inside it's mother. Bottom line.
The baby can't choose to control its body - or what happens to him/her because of the baby's location... the baby has no rights even though the adults responsible allowed a new human to begin life - and even...
Sure.... go for it.
Also I found the documentaries. No longer on Netflix but - can rent on Amazon... deals with geological evidences, rocks fossils etc.
"Is Genesis History" and another, "Beyond is Genesis History"
My dear I understand. I do.
I've come to see things that changed my view. No one convinced me I just saw. If people won't look or try to understand this stance that's fine.
My comment regarding the attitudes of people on here is reflective of more than just this thread.
But Audie saying something about "creationists showing their hand" was a bit hysterical to me.
This is a conversation - or it should be. Coming in with the idea we are playing each other in some...
I saw one reference but I was merely touching on the subject. I thought you asked in OP for comments regarding the flood to look into it further. But you are using it to hammer something you aren't moving on. I've said things I've seen evidence for but I don't document it. I don't live for this...
Ha! My mistake on the OP - talking on more than one thing.
There is work out there done besides the work you cited, that not just contradicts but disproves what you are arguing here.
But tasteless to me is trying to tell me how you want me to write to you in order to get a response. You said...
Right.
People who don't agree with you aren't automatically wrong or uneducated. And me disagreeing and saying what I think isn't automatically rude just because I don't swallow what is thrown at me immediately.
:handwaving:
I am not here for approval but discussion. And I won't indulge tasteless comments long. You're not the OP and I'm not changing how I think or write on here for you.
Hence, not much else here for now.
Sweetie I don't have to defend anything.
You came in saying I knew "nothing" about geology and claimed I was parroting. Saying I'm ignorant. That's not a contribution to anything resembling a conversation. I can't do much with that. You clearly weren't trying to do anything productive.
My...
800 billion fossils was an estimate by an excited man. That hasn't been confirmed.
The point of the connections in flood stories is the matching properties of stories. Not just "a flood" but identical storylines or details.
Regarding carbon dating - since you reference a deposit of over "100...
Actually the Jewish nation "believes that" and I don't talk myself into anything. I try and disprove myself and question myself before accepting anything.
So adorable when people in front of a keyboard think they know you!
Not sure what the hair has to do with this. That's a controversial...
Why are we playing a game? Who's gonna win? Hahaha wow this is my first active day on here and it's so funny how people are so rude when forums are supposed to promote free thinking open discussion etc.
It's fine. Nothing new but most people quoting me on here sound like angry teenagers so far.
Why does a flood mean one layer? It would have taken a very long time for everything to settle. And there's nothing to support the idea there are more fossils than there could have been creatures. How many do we have living now? We don't even know.
I posted a chart earlier in the thread...
Haha. No.
Not my version.
I never would've believed myself. I thought all religion was false. For all the reasons I see people post here and elsewhere.
I know a rabbit trail when I see one. I highly doubt I would be someone to convince you. Im just sharing freely - the point of this forum.
I appreciate your efforts, a bit.
Being dependent on someone does not mean you are a part of that person. You never were your mother, you were you. Inside her. My baby, my five year old, was always herself. I was a vessel for a while, that allowed her to join us out here. It's the most...
Are you claiming your omniscient, omnipotent God created an overly wordy, self-contradictory, ambiguous, demonstrably inaccurate book, and thought it would be universally and unquestioningly accepted? And why did He not preserve it as a primary source on some durable substrate, rather than...
