The Bible

[habsheaven]

This is insane (Noah's Ark and ALL the land animals). Even the most impossible of events are defended by some people. If the only way a believer can believe that this event happened was due to God performing miracles, why the heck did He flood everything to begin with? Just snap your darn fingers and set things how you want them. What was God a drama queen? Making a big production out of everything so that He can rush in and save the day with the miracle of "animal collection and storage".

I don't think I have ever heard this one. Care to expand on it?

The Bible says that the rainbow is a creation of God as a "Pact" to man that he would never flood the earth again.


Hilarious, but actually a rainbow is simply a spectrum of light that appears when the sun shines unto droplets of moisture in the atmostphere.

^Now, which explanation seems more credible?

The one with FACTS or the the one that sounds like a fairy tale?

where did life as we know it come from? lightning striking mud or the hand of god, either sound pretty crazy to me.

NO!!!!

Please look into Abiogenesis, it says NOTHING about lightnings striking mud, that's NOT the way science explains life.

Do you realize that at a time science taught us that all of those things were true?

YES, and that's what makes Science greater than the Bible and ALL religion.

Science improves itself, it corrects it's mistakes and it's not afraid to say it's wrong.

As for the bible and religion, it is DOGMATIC it will NEVER say it's wrong and it will NEVER correct itself.

Should I tell you the story of how the world was created as told by the evolutionists?

INCORRECT!

Evolution says NOTHING about the creation of life, that is Abiogenesis!

Evolution only talks about the DIVERSITY of life, once life is HERE!

The problem we have in America and the rest of the religious world is that Religion wants to have the default position.

I'll explain:

If I see a leprechaun and I tell someone about it, who does the burden of proof lie on???

ME of course!

I have to show evidence that I really did see a leprechaun, maybe a photo or some other kind of PHYSICAL proof.


However, this is the way American Christians act:

"You can't prove God doesn't exist...."

SO WHAT!

It's not up to me to proof his existence for YOU, it's up to YOU to give me evidence, the burden of proof is on YOU.

"Evolution is just a theory...."

Yes, so is Gravity, germ theory, and the fact the world rotates around the sun is also a theory.

"You can't have something come from nothing...."

Funny enough, Science DOESN'T say something came from nothing, only CHRISTIANS believe something came from nothing....God "spoke" creation, he literally made the earth, the universe, EVERYTHING.....from nothing!

Nothing doesn't exist, there is no such thing because by saying nothing is nothing then nothing becomes something. You give it a base and substance, and how can nothing be nothing if nothing is something?

actually i heard an interview with richard dawkins, he was asked this fundemental question as this was his answer, followed with, we don't really know.

the onedru, this is just another example of why i believe in a god.

You should hear my spiel on mathematical theories..

i would love to and would consider it an honor for you to share with me

I'm sure God helped in the bolded part, but like I said that would be a miracle.

I'm sure most of the different species were separate, what I'm saying is that they could have piped drinking water into troughs and such to make it easier.

Saying "I'm sure God helped" just doesn't do anything for me. It's not logical for me. I can't view that as a reasonable answer. If it did, anything could be explained away with that simple statement.

[Star_Cards]

I think you are confusing terms, species is used here in the Bible as dog, not pomeranian, great dane etc.

I do agree with you on this. When it comes to dogs, not all of the types of dog have been around all that long. The same goes for lots of other breeds of animals. Even outside of the breeds of animals that have been created or evolved from an original species since this hypothetical arc, you're still talking about a ton of animals spread out over a vast amount of land.

no one ever said how exactly he did it.

ever watch the acient aliens show on tv?, they have some pretty neat ideas about how he did.

I tend to believe in tangible ideals. When you add in elements of mysticism or aliens it's way too easy to explain anything. It's a cop out in my opinion. Fantastical things that we don't see happen in present day are not what I call proper explanations.

None of those types of supernatural happenings that the bible say happened simply aren't believable from what we've witnessed in our lives.
