It would behoove you to educate yourself, so you won’t post replies that reveal your ignorance. Check the Hebrew too, I’m beggin’ ya. Then you can apologize for your impertinence.

Regarding your supposed rebuttals …. they have already been addressed. I’m not going to repeat myself.
You can find the answers you seek, in this very thread.

And the Hebrew bible also clearly says that the flood height was only 15 cubits, which is why it drained away like every other similar flood.

Bereshis 7:20Orthodox Jewish Bible
Fifteen cubits upward did the waters rise; and the harim were covered.

And the literal translation of the Hebrew text also clearly says that the flood height was only 15 cubits.

Genesis 7:20Young's Literal Translation
fifteen cubits upwards have the waters become mighty, and the mountains are covered;

Yeah, and the Ark was floating over a year. Because the waters didn’t recede.

But the bible says they did recede like every other similar flood since it was just a local flood and didn't cover Mt Everest by 15 cubits as falsely claimed in some versions.
Stop with the “Mt. Everest” fallacy.

Again: If you won’t read my previous responses to such counter-arguments, then I will just have to ignore you.

Apparently, you’re late to this party. I’ve had to repeat myself too many times. No more.

Doesn't change the fact that the bible describes a local flood which was 15 cubits high and drained away like every other similar flood on a riverine plain.

And in the recent flood here a year or so ago, the flood height peaked at over 15 cubits, and the waters still haven't fully receded in some places either.

Yes, I understand. But! the theory doesn't hold water in the sense of differences between, let's say, horses and humans. Or humans and lions.
I am not sure what you're referring to specifically here. However thanks for your reply, and sure, at some point, we can discuss it!

Well, I note from your silence, your failure to provide the quotes from Genesis that you say are there, that you plead guilty to the falsehood charge.

So that much is nice and clear ─ I should thank you for requesting the details.
I always answer when I see a post that is not just total garbage and even some of them I answer.

Where did the universe come from?

If the explanation is the Bing Bang with or without inflation, what was there before that?

The Genesis account tells us that the Source of the Flood wasn’t physical….

I don't care what type of magical source your book of myth posits.
Floods are physical. Doesn't matter if the water was magicked up out of thin air or not or whatever.
Flooding is physical and it has predictable physical consequences.

Fast-frozen mammoths don't fit those predictions.

According to Genesis…

Who gave the warning, 120 years in advance, that a Flood was coming?

As the account tells us, Jehovah.

Who gave Noah the instructions, including the Ark’s ideal dimension ratios?
Jehovah.

Who
brought the waters down from above, and opened the “vast springs” below?
Again, Jehovah.

Who closed the Ark’s door?
Jehovah.

Who gave the writer of Genesis the information that the tallest mountain (at that time) was covered by 15 cubits of water?
Jehovah.

And after the event, Who opened the door?
Once again — Jehovah.

(You are aware of this, right?)

So since the account specifically tells us Jehovah God was the One who brought this cataclysm, to persist in applying physical parameters to something clearly described as a supernatural event, is inane.

Preach more, preacher.
I couldn't care less what your ancient book of myth says.

Why are there living fossils?

If americans came from europeans, why are there still europeans?

They should have evolved since their last record in the rock layers and they should have left fossils in intermediary layers since.

And they have.

How does one explain polystrate trees?


How does one explain soft tissue and blood vessels in dinosaur tissue?

How does one explain dinosaur tissue with DNA and other biomolecules still being intact?

How does one explain dinosaur tissue, and diamonds that are not C-14 dead?



Why is there too much C-14 in some samples of coal and fossilized wood?

How do you explain ancient microbes revived?

I don't even know what this is about.

How do you explain parentless polonium 210 radiohaloes in granites?


How do you explain elliptical polonium 210 halos in the same strata with circular halos?



Notice how every single one of your claims is listed on An Index to Creationist Claims (and index to crationist claims).
It's basically a list of PRATTs (Point Refuted a Thousand Times) that creationists like to toss around.

Literally none of your claims are new.

Maybe you should read through the list of that website so that you can filter your own bs in advance so that we at least get some original material in here.
As it stands, I can just look up any of your claims on that website and simply link you to its own page where the refutation, incl citations, is nicely summarized.
