The TRVE history of the Flood...

You know we all think that's wrong, yes?

But you know we think it's wrong, right?

Most fossils are NOT "animals that were buried in mud".

quote:

---

The creation of a cast or mold is a common form of indirect preservation. Most fossils do not contain actual body parts but are impressions, molds or casts of the original organism. Essentially, a mold fossil forms when the organic matter of the organism decomposes and leaves a cavity, or mold. Casts form when the cavity fills with sediment or minerals that harden. Occasionally, casts and molds contain the hard parts of organisms, such as shells or bones. source

There simply isn't enough time in between what would be the tides in your Flood scenario for the animals to decompose before the next tide came in to fill the cavities with sediment.

No, not when the fossil requires the animal to decompose first, and then get filled in with sediment. These are different than the mineralization of the hard parts of animals, that's just one type of fossil.

Such hubris; you don't speak for God, Faith.

Wow That's, like, the craziest thing I've read today. That's a really big problem, in multiple ways, and I don't think I can talk to you anymore*.I can't believe you actually think that. Well, I mean, I can believe that you believe it, but I'm surprised at how conceited you are.Pride is an abomination - check yourself.*I'll still point out the errors and mistakes you are making, but I don't think I can relate to someone so deluded that they think they can speak for God.

Well, we know that they are literally unable to be speaking for God - I mean, they're contradicting the known scientific fact that the planet has never been covered in water since humans have been here.There's no way God is that stupid

Yeah, the Flood story is a weird one...For one, it talks about God having regret. That has ramifications for omnipotence and omniscience that you're just not going to solve.And it talks about killing all of the life that wasn't on the ark, but it turns out that it's not really all of it.And like you said, what a weird solution for the perceived problem.I think there was an event in the distant past that the Flood was based on, that it didn't really cover the whole planet, and that a bunch of different cultures have straggling myths that stem from the same event. The story in the Bible is a re-telling of that tale by smooshing together multiple sources in a, fairly poor, attempt at making it one cohesive story.Also, Biblicans today are stupid for thinking it was real like it is described. It's literally impossible as interpreted by those christians. Too, assuming it's literally true as interpreted, and then trying to shoehorn some of the facts into it has got to be one of the biggest wastes of time.And I'm completely baffles as to why they would try to come up with scientific explanations for a magic Flood while simultaneously relying on magic explanations in lieu of the scientific one for the diversity of species.

That, or your belief is wrong.

I don't say that I believe in evolution. I know that species evolve because they are not static. It is not something that I simply believe in like my religious beliefs. How they evolve is a different question, tho. I believe that the Theory of Evolution properly explains how species evolve and I know that it is the best explanation that we currently have. I reserve the word "belief" for things that I don't know, and I know that the animals are evolving. I don't just believe it, it is blatantly obvious that they do.Now, whether or not the ToE is correct does take some belief - but it's not much...

Yeah, that's evolution. Animals obviously evolve - they are not unchanging.And there is no magic arbitrary limit to how much micro-evolutionary change can accumulate that would prevent it from being macroevolution. I dunno, I don't know off the top of my head - and I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to.But, given your track record - it is fair to assume that you are wrong. Plus, a lone delusional True Christian versus countless scientists? Yeah, no contest. Nonsense. It's confirmed every day and has never been falsified. It's here to stay.

We know for a fact, without a doubt, that the entire planet has not been covered in water since humans have been here.

Billions of years. The point of it is irrelevant.

The Biblical Flood story took place while there were humans on Earth, and during that time there were mountains and they were as high as they are today.

That is utter nonsense. The thing about laws is that they're not situational.He's right: You're proposing breaking the laws of physics in order to maintain the possibility of your conception.
