Backup of your claims

There is about is more faithful evidence of a flood than evolution.

All believers must provide proof and backups to everything they say or believe in? Likewise all you have to do is deny them on the basis you ignore or don't believe in them. I didn't ask for the debate, you guys brought it up.
You made a statment that you seem to think is factual. Others don't. When there is such a difference of opinion it seems appropriate that you be asked to support your cliam.
It is also part of the forum guidelines you have agreed to.
Aside from the guidelines it makes you look a bit foolish when you make a claim and then run for cover when you are called on it. Don't worry to much, you have a lot of company since it seems to be a common reaction of those that think they have support for their beliefs. Unfounded claims are not going to impress anyone here; we've seen them before.
If you wish to simply go on faith and believe whatever you want then that is your right. Most of the 'unbelievers' here seem to be greater supporters of that right than many of the believers who post here and think that everyone should be required to follow their particular brand of faith.
However, if faith is all you have then you have no place making wild eyed claims about support for a world wide flood or any other comments in areas that you know from very little to absolutely nothing about.
And I'm not a reknown Bible scholar, there are studies out there to support it just like there are studies to support your beliefs (evolution)
Here you go again. Your claims about "studies" are meaningless. You are the one who posts this stuff. If you're not able to support what you claim "then don't post in this thread, it's that simple" .
And if evolution isn't a belief why is it referred to as Darwinism?
Who cares what it is called? There are theads for discussing the the connection between an acceptance of the ToE and religious beliefs. Jump in there is you actually have something to say. Of course, that would mean being prepared to defend your views. Perhaps that is something you're not used to being asked to do.

Some clarifiction on tongues
Mike, I had the impression that speaking in tongues was so amazing (even miraculous) because people spoke in a language that they had never heard and could not ever have learned.
Now we seem to have even the Bible saying that it is gibberish. In addition there is no tested, controled cases? Why on earth would you bring up someone speaking gibberish like a mental patient and pretend that prooves anything important?
