"I see, well one would have thought that humanity would have inherited Adam's traits but ok, you can have that one. "
If your parents had surgery, would you inherit it from them?
Not so obvious to thousands of creationists who favour the young hypothesis because they believe that a literal intpretation of the bible means the universe is 6000 years old. I guess they don't know the bible right? And man has been Earth for over 100,000, so errrmmmm....
Compare the genealogies in the Gospels. You will see that they do not include everyone. Hence, by adding up the ages of the people in the Bible you cannot derive an accurate age for the earth.
"Finally, how do we know the earth is millions of years old? Well because the universe is expanding (we know this because light is red shifted, implying velocity)"
Sorry, I should have said universe, not earth. That is how we "know" the age of the universe. The age of the earth is based on flawed radiation tests and circular reasoning.
Oh my days how blinkered is your view? Yes they deserved to die kill them all!
"For all have sinned..."
"There is not one righteouss, no not one..."
"The earth was covered in wickedness..."
If you actually take time to read these bible stories you would see that God gave ample opportunity for everyone to escape who was righteouss. And about the fetuses and babys etc, how do you know there were any? These people lived for 900 years, they didn't need to reproduce constantly
LOL, do you have any idea how many species of animal there are?
I will have to check the logistics of this later, as I'm at school right now.
Incidently in almost all cases you CANNOT POSSIBLY start a population with just 2 individuals, because you get expression of damaging recessive alleles that is why imbreeding is bad, that totally screws both the Adam and Eve fairy tale and the Ark faff.
Yes. After the earth was not protected from radiation anymore.
Yea... probably, probably because otherwise there be contradiction, i know whenever theres a contradiction lets just say it's "probably" due to translation, excellent.
I say probably because I haven't studied the language in this section. BUT YOU COMPLETELY MISSED MY POINT! The difference between a cloud and the water vapor that is required to produce the diffraction for a rainbow is not significant.
"No, they were localised in one area."
Haha another corker, the animals just happened to be one area, thats completely believeable yup yup, after all we all know that animals do not infact move, and that birds do not infact fly......~
I mean there would be at least 2 of each animal within a short distance away, not every single animal ever made.
Becuase this is poetic writing not scientific arrrgh!!!"
Oh i see, so it's not literal, well, we knew that anyway, glad to have you onboard.
Let me show you what I mean:
In numbers, I believe, there is a reference to a bowl which will be three times greater around than across. Aha, you say, contradiction! We all know that C=2*pi*r so the bible claims that "Pi" is 3 when we know its really 3.141592653589793...
THIS IS POETRY IT DOESN"T MATTER
BUT THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SMALL ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION LIKE THIS AND FALSIFYING HISTORICAL EVENTS!!
And you missed the point fantastically here, which is just how rediculous it is to suggest that one species of elephant was saved because it was "clean"
When did I say that? I quoted it from a site YOU GAVE
which then spontaneously evolved into 160 different species 158 of which became immediately extinct!! And where the heck did those other species of elephant come from anyway ???? Surely not..... evolution....... lol.
If you define this as evolution, then there is nothing theisticly wrong with evolution. Why do we have different kinds of dogs? Well, breeding. Before we bred them, it was the environment. Now before you get all excited over this, remember what happens to all these dogs if they go back into the wild? Within a few generations, the sample group all reverts back to the same thing. They're all still dogs.
More tomorrow on the flood, Darwin, and fossils.
