HUMANS, NEANDERTHALS DID NOT HAVE BABIES

there is not much question that sometime in history there was a flood that covered the world. There is abundant physical evidence such as fossils or imprints of fish found near the tops of mountains, etc. that point to a world-wide catastrophic flood. Seems the only issue is WHEN this flood occurred.

Those "fish fossils" found on top of mountaintops was because those mountaintops was originally the sea bed and rose over millions of years from tetonic pressure to form mountains.

.......and I learned this in 5th or 6 grade at St. Mary's CATHOLIC SCHOOL.

existing around the period of the Flood ( ~ 2500 BC, give or take), such as the Sumerians of the Babylonian region, and the Egyptians, which talk about dynasties, events, etc, but strangely make no mention of any world-destroying Flood happening right in the middle of their time lines.
= = =
When these writings actually took place is important. “Around 2500BC” actually means these writings took place before the flood, since the Bible record nails down the flood occurring at 2344 BC, so of course those writings would make no mention of the flood.

1) so in 156 years, the people on the Ark, repopulated the entire world?
in 2500BC, there were already large cities, across vast geographical areas.
2) you disagree with the accepted datings,
by generations of historians, achaeologists, geologists, etc.,
who’s work ALL confirms each others, independently?
3) Luther himself, refused to believe the earth orbited the Sun. does that make all his other beliefs false? no.
He was correct, to condemn the corruption in the Church.
...but, the earth DOES orbit the Sun. and there is vast, cross-discipline evidence, that humans lived continuously, without a world-wide flood, in many places in the world, around 2344BC.
4) my faith in Jesus, doesn’t require me, to take the OLD Testament literally. and many top scientists, are also devout Christians, who revere the Bible, as a holy book.
5) frankly, i think organizations like “creation research institute”, are a complete waste. (WHY such fanatic emphasis?) ...if they’d spend a tenth as much effort, on spreading the New Testament, i’d applaud them!

Depending who you speak to and who calculates it, some have the great flood as early as 3300 BC.

Since we’ve double the planet’s population in 40 years, you could use that as “guide” to figure the planet “could” double the population every 40 years. In 800 years you could go from 8 people to about 8.3 million people. If you doubled every 20 years (totally possible) you end up with a number in the trillions. 800 years can be a VERY long time in population growth!

Ever wondered how we have made great technological strides in the past 500 years or so and these civilizations that were around for, supposedly, thousands of years stayed in the stone age? Maybe, just maybe, they weren’t around for as long as we thought...

We stayed at mostly the same technology level for a long time. If you grabbed Socrates from 400BC and brought him forward to 1200AD, he would not see much changed. People still plowed with animals drawing plows, rode horses for transport, and ships still used sails. The world would be very comprehensible to him. Even drawing him forward to 1750 or so, the main innovation would be gunpowder. Most other aspects of people's lives would be very similar.

Go forward just 100 years to 1850, and things get very different, with steam powered railroads and electric telegraphs. Jump forward another 100 years to 1950, and Socrates would think he was in a world of sorcery.

What created such a rapid degree of progress was an increasing number of very smart people who were allowed to innovate under the free market, and reap great rewards for innovation.

I'm mostly bowing out at this point, and letting Elendur have a turn at banging his head against the wall.

Inconclusive. Some fossils have been found to be there from the tectonic plate action, but necessary all. Many discoveries of fossil of marine life as well as tree fossils, etc. and other evidence pretty convincingly point to a catastrophic world-wide flood.

2500BC is BEFORE 2344 BC, the Biblical time of the flood.

Well put, particularly #5 — gosh, I wonder what their motivation could possibly be?

Can no one out there in editor land write a proper headline in the English language?

I was thinking the same thing.

Saying “did not interbreed” would have been so much clearer.

New research shows that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor. A team at the University of Copenhagen have tracked down a genetic mutation which took place 6-10,000 years ago and is the cause of the eye colour of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today.

Interesting. Seems rather surprising since there are actually variant blues for eyes, and regardless of eventual eye color, babies tend to be born with blue eyes.

It's stunning how big a moron varmintman was, irrespective of what handle he happened to be using. And his subsequent nick has also been banned, same kind of stupid behavior. The definition of stupidity is, doing the same thing over and over, but expecting a different outcome. That's also a characteristic of socialism, and that is not a coincidence.
