Evidence of NOAH's FLOOD

John53

Of course Jesus spoke of it as having happened, warning of the future. So what else do some think he said that might not be true yet who claim to be Christian.

But it's Christian to continually harass someone for not believing what you believe?

I find that it would help for a person who claims to be Christian to explain why he's a Christian and why or if he believes Jesus is the person the Bible speaks about.

I would think that someone that does not make the error of reading Genesis literally would have a better idea of who Jesus was in the Bible. You do know that Jesus very often used poetic language and he never affirmed that Noah or Adam really existed, don't you? He merely referred to them as one would to any ancient mythical person.

P.S. to @John53 , if someone doesn't want to answer, he may not. But really, the question is there -- about inconsistency and truth and following a belief or being a hypocrite and not making sense. And making snide remarks about beliefs and people he disagrees with. :)

Then best you stop bullying me. :) Follow your own advice. :)
If you come to a debate forum and make clear mistakes correcting them is not bullying. But when one starts to question if one is a "True ChristianTM " then being corrected is not being bullied.

@Dan From Smithville only pointed out the fact that he is a Christian. No one has questioned whether those that are claiming that God is a liar are True Christians or not. We just assume that they do not know how they are doing that.

Seriously, who do you think was not following his beliefs? Who do you think was being a hypocrite?

I am not here to prove the flood as described in the Bible, only to show that it is possible according to science that there is/was enough water to cover the earth's surface, this includes the water enclosed under the crust and the Bible says underground water was released during that time.
Did you forget what you wrote at the beginning of the sentence when you got to the end?

No. I am saying that various scientific viewpoints certainly uphold the likely ability of enough water flooding of the earth, way in the past and -- that there is enough water above and below the surface to cover it. I realize scientific viewpoints in general do not think the earth suffered a worldwide flood several thousand years ago. However, the possibility of the earth having enough water within and without to have it covering the earth is not far-fetched. And science shows that. Since I believe what the Bible says is true, I am not saying it agrees with all scientific viewpoints, but simply that science recognizes there is/was enough water to cover the earth.

But they don't. And why they don't has been explained to you.

I don't need science for that. Maths tells me that on a perfectly round Earth, there needs only to be enough water to counteract Earth's spin and the tidal influence of Moon and Sun.

The topic is still "Evidence of Noah's Flood" and the fact that there is enough water is in no way evidence. In fact, it isn't even evidence that Earth was ever completely flooded.
And as the Bible got everything else about the flood wrong, the existence of enough water is just a lucky guess.

I do not deny it is hard to verify according to scientific analysis and human reasoning. Nevertheless...I do not contradict the account.
According to what I understand, mountains are getting taller, so the mountains were likely not as tall as they are now.
And scientists are aware there is water under the earth's crust. Yes, it is called wormwood and the water is encapsulated rather than free-flowing, but there's lots of it and the Bible says that the waters were unleashed under the earth, too. So that makes sense to me.

Only because you don't understand the implications this has due to physics.
If you would, you'ld understand how it doesn't make sense.
