Nine Pieces Of Evidence That Confirm The Historical Accuracy Of The Bible

Seems like a weird comment in any language.

In any event, your post has nothing to do with
what I said. Again.

Yes it has nothing to do with anything.
I take interest on your ideas and how people here view things.
I don't expect much so don't expect much on me too
Everything should be taken lightly and for fun.

Older people should be given courtesy and respect
I'm sure you do that in your country.

In my country we regard our elders with utmost respect.

I did find hostility on her replies.

In my country too. This is not your country, nor
mine. This is t he internet. You could be
a 16 yr old Brazilian for all I know.
Or a left handed Latin lesbian.

Respect has to be earned.
You need to show self respect too.
It is nice that you passed some board
exam (with ease) but I'd keep quiet
about that, if I were you. Your postings
do not indicate very much education or
interest in learning.

Sorry-ah, as we say in Hong Kong,
but that is how it is.


What you mistake for hostility is impatience
with silliness and nonsense.

I know where the PI are. I have been to Manila,
Cebu and Leyte.

I dont see how belief in utter nonsense being used
to promote a superstition is light
or fun, but to each his own, I suppose.

Attack the truth in my assertions
If the truth stands, then it is really the truth
A flimsy denial is as flimsy as it is

I have asserted a scientific discovery
compared that with the bible truth
You could have sliced this in two ways
disprove that the scientific discovery was a fraud
or the bible truth was not written as such

it was presented as evidence
examine the evidence
is it factual? is it relevant?

View attachment 27548

You see a guilty defendant would always deny the smoking gun as evidence
because it is easy to do
Which reminds me of a song about denying something....

There is no evidence to support a global flood. The existence of water beneath the earth is not, by itself, evidence for a global flood. That is all I need to do. If you are claiming the flood was a real event, it is up to you to support that claim. I have done all I need to do. You seem to be more interested in shooting me down, rather than supporting your claim with facts and observations. There is a reason for that. We both know what it is.

Well that's good.
You know PI [that acronym is actually offensive to Filipinos, it is like hearing BS]

I don't promote superstition
Just exchanging religious ideas
I like to hear what others believe
so I could reinforce what I believe
validate what I believe

Keep your anger and emotions in check
We don't want anybody developing hypertension around here, do we?

Ok ok
If you don't believe in the global flood, I respect that.

If it was a regional flood, as you say it was.
Then Noah should have built a smaller boat
and did not have to bother collecting pairs of land animals
should he?

Just thinking, not shooting your ideas down.
Rationalizing and so forth

Drop the 20,000,000. Never.
I have a papers on studies of the Atacama Desert that recognize and elucidate a lack of flooding for a period going back 20,000,000 years, so I often use that time span in discussions of the Genesis flood. Not being a geologist and having seen some references to questions of early Earth conditions, I am unclear on whether the early Earth may or may not have been covered or nearly covered in water some 4 billion years ago. So I go with the a number I can support with evidence and is more than sufficient to refute claims of a global flood some 4,300-4,500 years ago.

You are assuming that the entire story is true, just because you want to believe it is true. All that would be required for the myth to develop is a kernel of truth. A large, regional flood. Everything else could be made up over time or borrowed from previous flood stories.

My acceptance is based on the observations and evidence. You can believe as you choose, but when you publicly claim something, it is up to you to support it.

Reasonable. I am usually satisfied with polar ice
that shows the same thing, with a date far older than
any bible story, but much younger than 20,000,000 yrs.

If it was a "regional flood" then it would have been kind of pointless, no?

I'm sure the Book of Genesis would make a very wonderful transcript of records don't you agree?
Regarding evidence of a flood that happened 4,000-5,000 years ago would be like
a gun thrown at the general area of the Pacific Ocean - do you follow me?

But for me it would be the Bible
and the 2014 discovery by the American geologist finding a solidified ocean 400-600 km down the Earth.

On your regional flood, which I heard that before in some National Geographic episode
Somewhere in the Black Sea
Why did Noah have to make an enormous ark?
Why did he collect pairs of land animals?
If that is just an insignificant flood.

Ooops, I did not know. My Filipina friend never
mentioned that. No more "PI" got mr. Tnx.

Anyone arguing in favour of the "flood" is in
fact promoting superstition, and ignorance.

If you are actually only seeking to reinforce what
you already believe, that is an fine example of
intellectual dishonesty. Are you aware of that?

As for anger, ha. You are kind of funny, but me,
angry, at you? No anger. You might think
everyone in HK is angry because their style
is different from yours.

I will not say "PI" and you in turn, do not try
to belittle me by making up something about
me being angry.

Hong Kong - there is a worship service there
and I have brethren of the faith in HK
A lot of Filipina domestic workers in HK.

"Nanny, Nanay" is a vid on YouTube
can't forget that because
I cried a little when I watched it
