Re: Nonresponse
and common sense do not allow ones understanding of the natural world to advance.
I am not sure what you mean by this, because all of the things we know, were found out by using common sense plus the common sense of others before us.

Re: Nonresponse
You are so lost dude.
I think the problem is this topic now spans 2 different threads.
Would you stop explaining the incredibly obvious to me?
The merely obvious will do.

Re: Nonresponse
But it remained flooded for five months after it stopped.
Care to explain how?
Because as far as I know, when it stops raining, the water would drain away rather fast.

Re: Solving it using common sense.
Obviously not because you think the problem is one of physics when it's actually one of topology.
Ok, anyone care to figure out what is wrong with rhain, because he just doesn't get it.
That reply was in response to what sarted this thread.
You are lost lol.

Re: Nonresponse
Who cares.
The only reason they got asked in the first place is because money tells them too.

Re: Nonresponse
By definition, you cannot think outside the box before knowing what's inside the box.
Or put another way:
I cannot think inside the box, therefor I must think outside the box, since I do not know what the box is.

Re: Nonresponse
You're the one claiming there was a flood. You're the one using the Bible as a reference.
Last time rhain, then I really give up.
I am not using the bible as a reference. I am trying to prove that the whole earth can be covered in water, most of it under a significant amount of water, and all life except water dwelling creatures would be wiped out.
Forget the bible for this thread.
*edit*
For the period of time that it is raining.
Actually, if my hypothesis is correct, Noah would have been washed out to sea, and the mountains would have appeared to go under water to him, and he would have been in the part of the earth where it wasn't raining. He saw something and wrote what he saw, not fully knowing what was going on.
But that is all separate from my original point.

Re: Nonresponse
Is it just because I am a Christian that all of you automatically assume that I am refering to the bible?
