Of course, had you been born in Mecca, you would have spouted the same Christian fundamentalist BS there that you do here because you are self-proclaimed immune from any so-called 'programming.'
I will simply repeat for the umpteenth time what you will never understand, namely that the evidence provided by the universe, be it from any purported deity or from blind chance, all of it supports the common sense basic rules of physics, chemistry, geology, biology, and history.
It is IMO your total lack of empathy for others that prevents you from understanding anything outside that which rotates around your own navel. For this reason alone you will never understand other nations, cultures, religions, or indeed even your own Bible, and most certainly never under any circumstances the philosophy, methodology, or conclusions of science.
The opinion I have come to over these several years is simply that you are not qualified to lecture us on your infallibility concerning God's creation or God's supposed word.
So what is the answer to the ice cores -- which record a series of annual layers -- which can be observed today depositing annual layers all the while showing no evidence of any melting and reforming in the record? It is in Greenland, in the Antarctic, in glacial lakes in Asia and South America. Is it a trick of your interpretation of some deity that seeks to preserve hunger and curable disease?
That is one piece of evidence against any global flood, I have over 100 more, but it is not just my opinion - see RAZD, Glen Morton, TalkOrigins and many of the posters here for their references.
Of course providing evidence to you (like too many others) is like casting pearls before swine, there is you and there is the universe, and that is one too many for your claims of the perfect interpretation of either.
Jar even has to show you what is in the Bible, since you don't even seem to know, or is it want to know?
Evidence detractors (and Buz who seemingly looks down on all people other than Buz), EVIDENCE!
Edited by anglagard, : remove the term virtually before all of it supports ...., there is no hedge, all evidence supports basic common sense science.
The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.
