Blatant ploy to get a Creationist to provide insight

But, as has been pointed out to you some hundreds of times now, there's not a shred of evidence that indicates that it ever happened! Why do you think that might be?
1) Because evos are blind to the tons of evidence and misinterpret it.
Really? Perhaps you could go to http://EvC Forum: Biased Interpretation? -->EvC Forum: Biased Interpretation? and discuss the problems with interpretation and those things which blind the evos. Please don't just point to that idiot-savant Lucifer.

Re: How much agreement?
Faith writes:
The story of the Flood is told as straight history. Jesus' life is narrated as straight history also. When He tells a parable it is called a parable.
True, some of the stories that Jesus told were classified as parables by Him (farmer and the spreading of seeds, for example). However, most were not. Is the "prodical son" story true or a parable? What is your Biblical justification for your answer? What about the story of the beggar Lazarus? The vineyard owner and the tenents? Lost coin? Lost sheep?
I realize that Jesus speaks of the days of Noah. However, what culture was he in? How better to communicate than to provide an example that they are familiar with? Sort of like a modern teacher using Superman or Star Trek examples. They are not real but are useful. And...Christ was the greatest teacher.

Unprovable and Untestable
Faith writes:
What, some scientistic presupposition suggests that such a flood would have burnt everything up and we're supposed to take seriously what is obviously just another unprovable untestable unfalsifiable unreplicable evo wild guess, and this one not even an intelligent one?
What is it about the Charles' statement that makes it unprovable or untestable? Can the effects of that much water falling from the firmament, in such a short period of time, be calculated from what we know of thermodynamics now? Perhaps it HAS been calculated.
Faith additionally writes:
Yes, EVERYTHING in the Bible is true.
Even Matt 21:7? Jesus the acrobat, riding on 2 donkeys at once. Or maybe He jumped from one to the other. I have yet to see a translation of the Bible that doesn't have Him riding both the female donkey and her colt.
In Mark 11:5-7, Jesus' followers only bring the colt and He only rides the colt.
Luke 19:32-35 shows Him only riding the colt.
In John 12:14, Jesus finds the colt Himself.
Only Matthew saw the other donkey. Well, he was a tax collector. He was used to inflating things beyond reality.
