Noah's Ark

Prior to that time, no raindrops would have been in the air.

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

the bible actually says that there was no rainfall before the flood....it says the earth was watered by a mist

I'm a big fan of space exploration and find the prospect of so many venture capitalists investing in space research to be very exciting

Genesis 2:5 Now there was as yet no bush of the field found in the earth and no vegetation of the field was as yet sprouting, because Jehovah God had not made it rain upon the earth and there was no man to cultivate the ground. 6 But a mist would go up from the earth and it watered the entire surface of the ground.

Well .... Aside from the fact that it is impossible, in relative terms, for the Kangaroo to have made it to Noah .. and since Australia was not discovered until the 1600's and even God gave Noah the location of Australia .. it is beyond rediculously absurd for Noah to have made it down under to pick the Kangaroo's up.

And yes .. the roo still has to make it back .. otherwise there would be no roos down under .. nor any other of the animals native to that continent.

kangaroos are not only native to australia...a similar animal (tree kangaroo) is also found in the Papua new guinea which is connected to the asian continent

The Papua new Guineans were able to cross over to Australia along coral reef beds, so you can easily imagine that if man could walk here, so could animals seeking new territories.

Thanks, Pegg.

First, that paragraph deals with God creating the Earth. Second, it points out the problem of interpreting the Bible in English and not the original archaic form of Hebrew. Note the translation below along with the paragraph that follows your quote:

5 Now no shrub had yet appeared on the earth[a] and no plant had yet sprung up, for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no one to work the ground, 6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground. 7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Still, I see nothing that says it never rained until Noah's time 1656 years later.

How old do you think the Earth is, Pegg?

Pegg .. When you make such claims you should give a link

2) Papau is not connected to Asia

3) The Kangaroo's did not cross the coral reefs to get from Papau New Guinea to Australia.

4) Kangaroo's have inhabited Australia for much longer than 5000 years
5) Ther was no flood that covered all of Australia

the bible actually says that there was no rainfall before the flood....it says the earth was watered by a mist

so it is in harmony with science that after the rainfall, the first rainbow appeared because rainbows are formed by the raindrops in the air acting as tiny prisms. Prior to that time, no raindrops would have been in the air.

So now we are ignoring meteorological physics?

For heaven's sake, tumbleweed41, of course we are. Look, if we can dismiss the rest of science, ignoring meteorological physics won't even raise a sweat.

Now when we straight-facedly talk about Papuans walking to Australia "along coral reef beds" - that's when we're really flexing the mental muscle.

Oh my gosh!!! So now mist is incapable of creating rainbows!!!

 

[JustWondering2]

Pegg, have you ever been to a large waterfall, such as Niagra Falls? If so you would have seen many rainbows ...... in the mist!! Please tell me you do not honestly think that mist CANNOT produce a rainbow!! :rainbow1:

Oh really?

Oh really?

how delusional people can be is amazing, its such a embarrassment to humanity to see this much ignorance displayed publicly while riding a imaginary high horse

the water around a waterfall is not the same as a mist that comes upon the earth during the night.... and the mist that still comes upon earth during the night does not produce rainbows because there is no light to be refracted

The water drops that fly up from a waterfall is quiet different to the moisture in the air which can produce dew.

Not just amazing. Really, really scary, too.

Isn't this really a picture of a Unicorn peeing off a cliff? Too bad they missed the boat with Noah.

Now you're just making things up. Where in the Bible does it even suggest that this mist only comes upon the Earth during the night?

And the next time you see a rainbow, let us know if it is actually raining at the time or not.

So now the mist only appeared at night??!! Where in the bible does it say that?

Oh Pegg...

it doesnt need to say that.... you just need to go out in the night or early hours of morning to see the dew formed by the moisture in the air...or the mist. These verses are ambiguous, but if you look at the natural world, their meaning becomes clear.

we use the same reasoning with regard to the age of earth. The physical earth is much older then a literal 6 days of creation, therefore we understand that the 'days' mean 'ages' and we've always held to that position based on the physical evidence.

Oh Pegg...

why does the washing hanging out on the line dampen during the night?


You know it doesnt have to be raining for things to get wet, so where does the water come from? It comes from the mist. If this concept is too out there, i apologize, but as the one who does the washing in my house, i know what happens if i leave it out on the line over-night.
