You have yet to demonstrate that Genesis is science. In fact it is acknowledged as magic by right minded people every where.
Again, no evidence from the creo crowd.The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer. -Attributed to Buzsaw Message 53 Moreover that view is a blatantly anti-relativistic one. I'm rather inclined to think that space being relative to time and time relative to location should make such a naive hankering to pin-point an ultimate origin of anything, an aspiration that is not even wrong. Well, Larni, let's say I much better know what I don't want to say than how exactly say what I do.

Any chance that anything you spout will be remotely related to the topic? You do this on every thread you "participate" in.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

This website is a gathering point for a great many individuals who research, analyse and critically evaluate information on a daily basis. For many of us it is what we do in our careers.
Instead of asking questions that will likely never get a straight answer, how about we try to find evidence of some of these claims. Its the Mythbusters approach (no joke intended here). Take a claim, then try to see if we can get it to work. If it wont work, try to establish what would be required to get it to work. In this case, we have two ideas, a recent global flood and a recent regional flood. Can someone from the creationist side of the fence supply an estimated date that this flood occured? If you have a date, please supply a source. If the flood was regional, is there any estimate on what region it occurred in? If we have this estimated date, we can look for evidence of this floodwhether it was global or regional. If we have a region, we can examine this region to see if a regional flood would be plausible for that area. I am willing to put my research skills into this activity. Creationists, give us a place to start and we will use our combined scientific knowledge in an attempt to test your proposed hypothoses. It would be good if you actually worded it as a hypothosis. e.g The flood of Noah was a global flood that occurred in 1500 BCE. Can we start with time and location ideas first, then we could move onto hypothoses related to how it occured and the aftermath etc. What do you reckon? Edited by Butterflytyrant, : No reason given.

If they specify a date for the flood then that can be examined scientifically. Why do you think the age estimates range from several thousand years ago to the Cambrian (500+ million years ago) and everywhere in between? It's a moving goalpost precisely so it can't be disproved! They simply can't admit that the idea of a recent global flood is a myth.Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

This is the last thing creationists want. If they specify a date for the flood then that can be examined scientifically. The above is an inaccurate charge. There are plenty of YECs who are completely convinced that they can date Noah's flood to within 50 years or less. If I am not mistaken, one such person posted in this thread. Yes, it is true that the physical evidence cited for such a thing does not bear close scrutiny, and might even be laughable, but let's not pretend that such people do not exist. Other Christians honestly hold beliefs that the flood and the beginning of the universe are much more ancient events that happened an unknowable time in the past. They aren't necessary moving the goal posts just because they acknowledge that a that your evidence that the the flood did not happen during some particular time period is correct.

Either that - or the only correct issues are raised by me. This can be seen in a recent science thread by the monitors asking me not to post there after I challenged that the universe is finite: as if I made an unscientific statement. In fact I put them on the line with a scientific check mate.

quote: The first recorded proof the universe and the earth are billions of years old is in Genesis - even before the notion of 'billions' was yet known by humanity. How many years account for seperation of light and darkness; day and night; water and land? These actions are listed in Genesis before the advent of life occured and before the Hebrew calendar was given. A lie by omission is - surprise, surprise - a lie.

The region is around Mount Ararat, a land mark mentioned for the first time, with aerial view location accuracy. You have said this repeatedly. I'm calling bullshit. Show me where your book even puts Ararat in some specific continent, Joe.

As I said: you have yet to provide any evidence for this being true. Simply you saying it does not mean you are correct.
Evidence my good sir, is the Achilles heel of the creo. Every. Single. Time.The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer. -Attributed to Buzsaw Message 53 Moreover that view is a blatantly anti-relativistic one.

The universe being finite is evidenced by today's foremost science and scientists - before the term science was yet introduced. Of note none have given any alternatives to its veracity - and this includes yourself, nor have you made any factors of its negation.

quote: Mount Ararat is mentioned as being in today's Middle-east by virtue of aligning this mount in the region of places like Ninveh [Babylon], Canaan [Israel] and Mizraim [Egypt]. It does not get better proven of specific continents. Such ancient aerial mapology is unseen anywhere else. Bullshit - but whose?
