Dragoness, has your husband actually read the Bible, or studied it in depth at all?

3. For your points three and four - YES - and these have been answered sufficiently. Here is one book you can read which deals with these issues. "NOAH'S ARK: A Feasibility study" by John Woodmorappe ISBN 0-932766-41-2
Woodmorappe's book is laugh-out-loud ridiculous. I know, because I own it.
His descriptions of the foodstuffs that could have been taken aboard the ark is particularly amusing. He includes things like "compressed hay" even though the technology to compress hay didn't exist for another 2000 years or so.
Anyway, if you would like to discuss Woodmoreappe's book, and feeding the animals on the Ark in more detail, there are existing threads here and here
Edited by nator, : No reason given.

Re: Genesis is a Myth
John 14:6 (KJS) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
quote:
Sounds like there is only one way and you had better find the right one.
LOL!
That is only true if you hold the preconception that the Bible is anything other than yet another book of religious mythology.
Just as you don't believe that the Eightfold Path is the way to Enlightenment and that human desire is the source of all suffering, a Buddhist doesn't believe your God's threats.
You are exhibiting the classic inability to step outside their own narrow thought processes that so many Christians apparently have.
It is impossible for you to look at the bible in any other way but as a believer. You literally cannot adopt, even for the sake of understanding, an academic, or unbeliever's view of the stories within it.

Re: Genesis is a Myth

Do you have any supposed scientific disproofs of the Bible to put forth?
I have two.
There is no scientific evidence whatsoever for a worldwide flood.
There is no scientific evidence whatsoever that having animals view certain colors or patterns when they are breeding produces offspring with those colors or coat patterns.

Re: Prediction
quote:
I simply made a prediction using information I find in the Bible.
If that prediction comes true then the Bible is proven true.
So, if you make a prediction based upon information in the bible that turns out to fail, is the Bible proven false?
quote:
And it does not make any difference what science says.
If you don't care what science says, then why do you try to use it to bolster your position?
It really kills me that people like you, who benefit greatly from hundreds of years of scientific inquiry, who, in fact, are typing on a science-produced computer right now, can so arrogantly dismiss it whenever your irrational belief in magic is threatened.
You should be thanking your lucky stars that mankind invented the scientific method, otherwise we'd stillbe burning goats on altars to Yaweh to ensure a fruitful harvest.
