    A Bunch of Reasons Why I Question Noah's Flood Story:

    I googled "Why is fossilization rare" and came up with loads of articles on the subject. Why are fossils rare? | Socratic.

    Pedophilic Culture

    We teach both, yet people still steal and rape. "Teach men not to rape" is another oversimplification of a complex issue; and while it is important to teach our young people socially appropriate boundaries and what "informed consent" is and is not, doing so won't stamp out rape no more than...

    Pedophilic Culture

    I see some validity in parts of the list regarding "rape culture" but I do not agree with it in its entirety. Sexual molestation of children is far more complex than child beauty pageants and makeup. Not all abusers are picking on children who wear make up and assault children who wear skimpy...

    A Bunch of Reasons Why I Question Noah's Flood Story:

    Yes, and we have searched for evidence for the parting of the red sea (an entire army drowned would have left evidence) and the only evidence found to confirm this fanciful tale was planted by a dishonest and disengenuous "biblical archaologist" who planted it. It was a wheel of a chariot --...

    Pedophilic Culture

    We can not control what others find sexually arousing. Some people, including those attracted to children, have foot fetishes Do we ban all foot cream commercials and require our children to cover their feet? Perhaps we should enact Shariah Law and require that all our little girls cover their...

    A Bunch of Reasons Why I Question Noah's Flood Story:

    In this case? Yes, Absolutely. An event this big would leave evidence. It would leave evidence in the geological column and in our DNA and in meteorology and in just about everything else I can think of. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. So for the extraordinary claim of a...

    A Bunch of Reasons Why I Question Noah's Flood Story:

    You do not have to believe that the flood was an actual historical event to be a Christian. You do not have to believe that the flood was an actual historical event to be "saved". You do not have to believe that the bible is an historical text to be a Christian. You do not have to believe that...

    A Bunch of Reasons Why I Question Noah's Flood Story:

    While there may be events discussed in the bible that are consistent with what we have found in history, that does not mean that the entirety of the bible is an historical document. Beyond the flood, we also have the problems of an utter lack of evidence to substantiate the exodus. Science...

    Aether, for one. That one jumped right into my head. Here is a list of more: 10 Most Famous Scientific Theories That Were Later Debunked Yet they used the predictions and equations designed by those whom you said "had nothing to do with it" to get them there without getting lost. I am...

    A Bunch of Reasons Why I Question Noah's Flood Story:

    Not inserting stuff that is utterly false to replace "what people couldn't understand" would have been a great start. No. Not in the slightest. Not even close. In fact, this approach belongs to religion -- not science. So you are using science to disprove science. Fascinating. Science...

    Comprehension of Evolution and Creation

    The Bible, while unclear on the path of Salvation, at least has this part: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotton son " etc. etc. Nowhere do I see in the Bible where one must accept Genesis as literal historical fact in order to be Christian. Nor do I find in the Bible where...

    That would be a deceptive God. Uh. No. There are those who do. Never heard of Ken Ham's "Ark Encounter?" Walk Through the Ark Encounter with Ken Ham

    I see your point. Thank you for the information!

    A Bunch of Reasons Why I Question Noah's Flood Story:

    If there was a tree called an Olive Tree that is the same tree today, then the Hebrew language had a word for it; thus we have a word that we translate to "Olive Tree". If it were an unknown tree, the Hebrew texts would not have called it an "Olive Tree". This argument fails. Why can we assume...

    A Bunch of Reasons Why I Question Noah's Flood Story:

    Sure we can. Because the dimensions of the ark are given in the scripts as well as everything else he took with him. And it doesn't fit! So you found something that seems to agree with you. Do you have an explanation you would like to share about the OMZ and how water far below this OMZ could...

    A Bunch of Reasons Why I Question Noah's Flood Story:

    I accept ideas as truth that are substantiated by evidence. I reject ideas as truth that are refuted by evidence. You conflate "Reliable" with "Infallible". Einstein's theories are reliable as they withstand scrutiny; but he nonetheless errored in clinging to the Static Infinite Universe model...

    A Bunch of Reasons Why I Question Noah's Flood Story:

    No. Even reliable sources can be wrong; especially in light of new information. Unlike you (it seems -- I could be wrong), I do not believe in concepts such as "infallibility" or "absolute truth" or "absolute authority". Perhaps someday, you will understand "overwhelming preponderance of...

    Then I will rephrase by stating that believing Noah's Ark Flood as literal fact is ridiculous.
