When you are so obviously wrong about facts that can be checked, things like Evolution or your assertion that there was some Biblical Flood, how can you expect children to believe anything you say about those things that cannot be easily checked, things like the god you market?
this is one thing you, people like you, evolutionists and atheists et al, just do not understand. God has made faith as one of the rules. not everything will be easily checked and one has to take God's word for it.
if you cannot take God's word for creation, the flood etc., thenhow can you take His word for salvation and heaven? neither of those can be easily checked nor proven scientifically. you just want the benefits from God nothing else. Jesus said 'pick up your cross and follow me', it won't be easy and notice He did not say 'and follow science...'
I cannot know that I am saved or even that there is an afterlife. I can believe that. I cannot look to anything as a reward, all I can do is try to live my life and try to live up to what I have been charged to do, to really take up my cross and live the life.
But I can check the data and evidence for a Biblical Flood or the accuracy of the different creation myths. When I do that I can with a very high degree of confidence state that there was never a Biblical Flood., that the creation myths are mutually exclusive.
Since the evidence is overwhelming that some things like the creation myths or the Biblical Flood Myths are not factual, I need to ask why they were included.
But we cannot stop being honest, we must continue to look at the real record that GOD wrote, the world we live in. We cannot and must not stop scientific inquiry even when it shows that the stories in the Bible are not factual or historic.
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!
