Re: Re-Flood
Then the earth was divided. Up until that time all the land mass was in one place. When the earth was divided the oceans were formed and the mountains were formed.
If the movement of the landmasses erased the evidence for a global flood - why then did it not remove the evidence for the billions of years that came before? Why would mountains rising erase the flood layer from within the rocks of the mountain itself?

Re: How Plausible is Plausible?
So, theoretically, if you prove one part of the Bible is true (the Exodus, for example), you thereby prove the entire Bible... technically.
Your kidding right? I mean, I suspect your not, but if you thought for half a second you would not have written that. What would cause you to write that when it is so ridiculously childish... unless it was a joke.
Good one!

Re: How Plausible is Plausible?
Interesting, so lets review:
quote:

That is your theory.
Apply the theory and see if this works out for you.
  • Some names, dates, places, and events in the Koran are correct. Technically true.
  • Some names, dates, places, and events in the Harry Potter series are correct. Technically true.
  • Some names, dates, places, and events in the The Origin of Species are correct. Technically true. (ohh the irony)
  • Some names, dates, places, and events in the Romeo and Juliet are correct. Technically true.
    Outside of most science fiction books what exactly should be contained in your fiction section of the library?
    If either all of the Bible's true, or all of it's false, if you prove one thing is true, it all has to be true.
    That must be a tough way to view the world. All the contradictions it must introduce with each and every book you read. In some cases ignorance is bliss, I must decline from your worldview given that I read way too many horror novels in my days.

    Re: How Plausible is Plausible?
    The problem with yours is that again your using novels
    So are you. Your just calling it something else.
    And what I meant was that an event, not a place.
    You mean like Darwins journey on the H.M.S. Beagle. Ok, I may have to read up on Harry Potter, and Romeo and Juliet; but thankfully two of my examples hold up to your criterea - the Koran is definitly true.
    The Exodus took place from Egypt, down the Sinai, across the sea, up the Arabian Peninsula, and across the Jordan River.
    Links please.
    If you prove an event (especially one as unlikely as the Exodus) is true, you prove the Bible.
    So if I show that something historical happened (like say the cold war), then the book that contains such facts becomes true (Tom Clancies - Hunt for Red Octoboer)?
    With some review of my books I am sure I can prove much of my Stephen Kings to be historical documents.
