Now, are you familiar at all with the whole concept of science?

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." Genesis 1:1<snip irrelevant and unsupported preaching>
It is totally absurd that you think just because I believe in the sciences that I would also believe in the false information that many use to find funding to further the support of their free loading, do you?
All the above is hearsay, And is absolutely unproven, I studied a year of that in collage, and could never agree on the way they have tried to prove their theory. It was all based on their own hodgpodge [guess work by reasoning] and not real scientific proof.
blu:
Science is not a subject; its a method. One important part of that method is a commitment, a promise to accept the results of that method regardless of your prior pre-conception or belief. That means if it turns out that the evidence doesn't support a global flood, you relinquish your prior belief in that flood. That's what the world's geologists did in the 18th (that's right, the 18th) century,
In the 18th century I'd say that they were premature in rejection the flood.
and why Geology has progressed to a greater understanding of our planet. You're still stuck back in the 1700s, trying to deny the possibility of scientific knowledge. Again science is not evolution or what was it the pre-socratics called it, oh yea, cosmology. It may have entailed a lot of thought, but science is not conducing to a lie. You have to learn to keep the lies out of science and then we can discuss it.
Now, as I've asked you at least three times, (it seems to be a universal that all creationists are rude) DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION IS?
^ She's not kidding.do you realize for Noah's ark to be true... that it would require hyper-evolution of species from "kinds"?
So fast that it would require a new rodent species to appear every year! Now that is wacky evolution.

What blu really meant said:Please hide all that physical evidence that contradicts the bible so I can wallow in my own self ignorance.
themadhair said:Blu explain to me why we find the fossil remains of different creatures in distinct layers.
For example, in Cambrian and pre-Cambrian rocks we find smaller creatures, none of which are alive today.
For example, we find trilobites relegated to rock layers no earlier than the Permian layers.
For example, we find Dinosaurs in the Cretaceous to Jurassic layers but not anywhere outside.
For example, we only find human fossils in rocks of very young geological age.
For example, we have a host of primate fossils that appear to be perfect intermediaries between something ape-like and modern humans. These intermediates can be examined in great detail too with joints such as the knee, hip and ankle showing the development of bipedalism.
You can google all of the above discoveries. You can go and visit museums and university geology/palaeontology departments to see these fossils and rock layers.
When you blatantly ignore/disregard the above wealth of evidence in favour of your theology you are spitting all over science and the scientific method that made these discoveries.
themadhair said:For example I went of a little trip up to Belfast University to see something called the Belfast curve. Marvellous thing, but before I describe it I need to explain a few things.
We all know that trees grow a new ring every year. What you may not know is that the thickness and density of that tree ring is determined by the climate in which that tree ring grew. So not only are tree rings a record of the trees age, they are also a record of the climate in which that tree lived.
Trees that live at the same time experience the same climate, and thus have the same pattern in their tree rings for the portion where the lives of those two trees coincided. We can use this to match up the age of long dead trees to count the tree rings backwards in time. This is called the dendrochronological record.
The Belfast curve is a series of oak tree samples that have been preserved in the Irish bogs containing tree rings that can be counted back over 9,000 years. The Belfast curve is, I believe, considered within the dendrochronological community to be the best dendrochronological record in the world (and also considered to be most accurate C14 calibrator).
When Vesuvius went up and buried Pompeii in 79 AD it belched ash into the atmosphere that was recorded in this fantastic climatological record that is the Belfast curve. So, given that the Belfast curve goes back 9,000 years and given that it recorded the eruption of Vesuvius, wouldnt the fact that it has no evidence whatsoever of a global flood sometime around 4,990 BC sort of disprove your claim that such a flood happened?
themadhair said:
themadhair said:Take the Belfast curve for example why didnt the trees dating to 4,990 BC not notice they were underwater for a year?
Take the field of geology for example why do the rocks not show any evidence whatsoever for a global flood and subsequent receding waters?
Take the fossil record for example why do we have distinct fossil layers?
You really havent thought this through and are avoiding facing the reality of what we actually find when we dig into the ground. And in ignoring physical evidence you are spitting on science.

As tumbleweed says, Evolution is a lie, and I agree. Stay with science as designed by God, all of which has merely been uncovered, and screw Satan's view of it.
Would you be happy to go to a hospital in Mexico right now without a mask? Just as well some people don't think evolution is a lie, otherwise we'd all be screwed.
to paraphrase...As tumbleweed says, Evolution is a lie, and I agree. Stay with science as designed by God, all of which has merely been uncovered, and screw Satan's view of it.

I do not think tumbleweed is saying what you think tumbleweed is saying.
wa:do
We are not rude my friend, we just do not allow ppl to shove an obvious lie down out throat.
Me neither. That's why I keep calling you on yours. And here's another one. Because where I come from, ignoring people's polite and reasonable questions, in response to your posts, is rude. Then again, I'm not Christian, so that might explain it. Now would ou answer the question I've asked you at least four times, and asked you to answer at least three? Do you or do you know what the ToE says?
