Re: Ice Age
Jesus said there was a flood.
​
Matthew 24:38-40
Jesus was expressing the common belief of that time, mistaken as that was.
​
If Jesus was fully human, as we are taught, then he was fallible.
​
If you want to say that Jesus was infallible, omniscient, then you are denying that he could be tempted as are ordinary humans.

Re: Ice Age
I am not suggesting anything, there are just gaps in the fossil record.
But those are not gaps in ToE. The theory does not depend on the fossil record. There is more than enough evidence, even if there were no fossils.
​
But people who do believe in the TOE, or accept it, even with missing evidence, will not accept the idea that a flood happened, based on the missing evidence.
That I do not accept the flood story has nothing to do with missing evidence. The flood story is preposterous, absurd. It contradicts ordinary common sense.

Re: knowing what a theory is...
I do the same thing when I troubleshoot in the HVAC business. I see a problem, and then come up with a theory based on my knowledge, of what is causing it, then I test it to see if I am right.
That's really a hypothesis, not a theory -- at least not a theory in the scientific sense.
