Why prefer the Biblical creation account over those of other religions?

Once again you post untruths. You have been given evidence that absolutely show that the Biblical Flood is nothing but a myth yet you simply deny the truth and repeat falsehoods. You can't really be that stupid. Of course historical events can be tested. Are you alive? If so your very existence is conclusive evidence of a historical even, in fact of many historical events. Your existence shows with a high degree of confidence (unless there is a bastard in your lineage) that your great great great great grandfathers screwed your great great great great grandmothers.Granted there is the possibility that one or more, maybe even all of the grandmothers got knocked up by someone who was not their husband but we can say with a VERY high degree of confidence that at the very last, each of those grandmothers got laid.Historical events leave evidence.If either of the Biblical Flood myths were true, all living humans, all the land animals and all the birds as well as all plants growing on land would show evidence in their genes of that event, a bottleneck signature.The signature is not there.The Flood is refuted.We will continue going over this until you understand that the Biblical Flood never happened.

We bend over backwards here to let creos have a few extra yards as they often don't hang around this site too long otherwise.Toys, prams etc.

there is no reason to hang out in this forum or website to long. the secularists are very dishonest, think they are an authority when they are not, and practice deceitful discussion tactics.they lie about the flood and other biblical events as being discredited or proven wrong and close their minds to the truth so it becmes pointless to discuss here with anyone, even theminute few good posters as the discussion is often interuppted by the moronic who just do not have a clue.NOW in answer to the thread question: we prefer the Biblical account over other religion's simply because it is the truth. all other accounts are distorted copies fromthe biblical ones and reflect the religious mindset of the people who created them as they drew further and further away from God and the truth as led by satan and his minions.

The entire point of these fora is to "understand through discussion". That normally involves actually presenting evidence and not immediately shouting "liar!" when somebody shows that you are wrong. You either provide further evidence to rebut them, or you concede the point. You never do either.Secondly, a great proportion of the people on this site are or were professionals, professors, doctorates... Experts all, of the highest kind. They never claim to be authority of any kind, but they acknowledge the authority of reality from which they and thousands of other derive their work.Third, "deceitful debate tactics" are, in all objective honesty, the trademark of the creationist. Things like fake evidence, dodging the question, personal attack, bending the rules: much of what you do, in fact. Call this my "secular Satanist evolutionist denial" if you must, but just remember: you're the common denominator to all the problems surrounding you. Elsewhere I provided you with links directing to threads explicitly discussing the Genesis myths, Teh Fludde, the age of the earth and Jesus' existence. In all of these threads, overwhelming evidence is provided to suggest the Bible is not entirely right, if not entirely wrong.Further, as scientists these people are the most open-minded you could get. Their jobs depend on being open-minded, since at any time new evidence could emerge to completely alter any ideas they have. Not changing means getting left behind.So, if you had evidence, new reliable definitive evidence, you should have presented it in those threads. And yes, you would have been attacked, but that is how science works. An idea must be tested before it can be accepted. If your evidence fails, then you must provide more evidence or demonstrate that they are wrong about their rebuttal using more than "dishonest!" or "secular!" or "evil!". And here is your greatest problem: dogma. You firmly believe this so much that nothing could ever convince you of its wrongness. You blind yourself to the possibility of it being wrong, even before the question is asked.There are hundreds of other accounts, a huge number of which existed well before the creation accounts were written. The majority of the rest bear utterly zero resemblance to the Bible, and were developed in cultures that never knew the Bible existed until European expansionism - they can be in no way built off it, let alone distorted copies.Lastly, you have to demonstrate that it really is them being led by Satan and not you; for all you know, it is Satan wearing a mask of the god you worship; for all you know, the Bible was written by Satan; for all you know, Satan is the one true god. Just as different people have different opinions of other people, so too do they have different opinions about what is truth, and so do they have different things to place their faith in.Unfortunately, for whatever reason, you just can't grasp that notion: that you might indeed be wrong.
On the other hand, it's something that everybody else here acknowledges and tries to fix by either being right or by changing their ideas so that they are.

And where is the evidence that it is the truth? How do you explain the fact that the order of creation in the different stories is contradictory, the methods are different and even the gods described are different?AbE: Exactly where is there an example of lying about the Flood or other Biblical events?Are you making the claim that one of the versions of the flood story found in Genesis is factual? If so, is it the tale in Genesis 6 or the tale in Genesis 7? And where is your evidence that supports that assertion? How do you explain away the fact that there are creation myths that are even older than the Biblical creation myths? Edited by jar, : Finish the reply.

What is your source that shows that your Biblical account is the truth?
Why is your mythology better than say the Egyption, Roman, Norse or Greek?

There is no better love between 2 people than mutual respect for each other WT Young, 2002Who gave anyone the authority to call me an authority on anything. WT Young, 1969Since Evolution is only ~90% correct it should be thrown out and replaced by Creation which has even a lower % of correctness. W T Young, 2008

Why are you here, Arch? None of your ideas get any traction: why do you keep posting here?

The biblical creation account is the most descriptive and detailed of all accounts. Not saying this proves its right, just saying that its something to consider. Edited by Portillo, : No reason given.

And you know that because you read all the other 1500 (at least) creation myths?Added:Excluding ofcourse the version that has scientific evidence to back itself up and does not include a god. You know big bang---> planetery formation----> Abiogenisis----->evolution ------> the state we are in now Edited by frako, : No reason given.Edited by AdminPD, : Warning

Message 1 gave a premise for this discussion. Description and detail aren't really enough to deem a story factual. Many fictional stories are very descriptive and detailed. There are fictional stories within the Bible. The parables that Jesus told were fictional stories. They presented real lessons, but the stories themselves were usually fictional. There are various types of parables. If there is nothing else to compare the stories with, how does one decide which creation story is factual as opposed to a religious lesson?How does one normally discern whether any book or story is fact or fiction?

You didn't read the OP did you?Please refrain from short remarks on or off topic that don't move the discussion forward. Please direct any comments concerning this Administrative msg to the General Discussion Of Moderation Procedures (aka 'The Whine List') thread.Thank you

Edited so I dont take the thread off topic. Edited by Portillo, : No reason given.

2006 was when this thread was Created, So im not sure Stumpy is still here... Darwin or the TOE? I think science has moved way past Darwin. One thing that was a problem was the fossil record.(according to Stephen J gould). Enter, Punctuated equilibrium. It's SUCH a stretch to consider it, as much as it is for the world to be repopulated by Noah and his family that Evolutionist disagree with BUT PE is OK apperantly but not Noah. From wiki: It looks like Hinduism is in the business of brokering deals for religion. Why do you think Hinduism rivals christianity when it says " find your own way". What if that way is Christianity? That's not religion that's a brokerage firm. LOL. Than other what? How in the hell do you know it's no more valid than "others"? Have you done what the Bible instructs us to do to find out??? From Genesis chapter 1 The Bible which you say is not "valid" seems spot on to me. How bout you? Do you see pear trees producing apple trees? Any why do you think that is?Edited by Chuck77, : No reason given.

Unfortunately just because I don't see pear trees producing apple trees, that doesn't make the Biblical creation story more valid than any other creation story. Each will have something we see today. Creation Stories from around the WorldThere are red crawfish. We can see coral, seagrass, and shellfish.IMO, we tend to prefer the creation story we grew up with. That doesn't mean we can't appreciate and respect other creation stories.

Before you start being wrong about Stephen Jay Gould and punctuated equilibrium, a search of these forums might be useful.
