=============
I have asked this of others on these threads, but I have never received an answer.
I do archaeology in the western US. I have tested many sites, with good dating (not just Carbon-14 but several other methods). A number of these sites span the 3,000-5,000 year range, but have no evidence of a flood. The soil layers are intact and show a continuous record of human presence, along with faunal remains and lots of other evidence across the 3,000-5,000 year span. In otherwords, no flood!
Where do you think I am going wrong? (Please be specific.)
=============
Find a book called the BIBLE, ask the HOLY SPIRIT to help increase your faith, and study BIBLE diligently. If your are sincere, GOD WILL allow you to understand what you are now not able to understand.
If you want miracles from ME, sorry, I'm just a mortal man.

I have provided a case in which the global flood, in which you apparently believe, did not, in the best judgement of scientists, occur.
Fine. No problem. But you at least admit your belief comes from religion. That's more than a lot of folks on these threads admit. And I do thank you for the reply.
I think this is the exact place where many of us disagree. I base what I know on science, subject to change with new data. You base your belief on religion. We're OK so far.
The problem for me comes with the attempt to insert religion into the schools under the guise of ID. To do so, someone has to contradict the example I cited, and thousands of other examples in this and other fields.
Anyway, at least you are honest in this post and where you are coming from. I do appreciate it.
Back in the fifties when I was in grade school, Christian religion was present in schools I went to. There were murders then, robberies took place and there were bad people among us. Over all though, it was not a bad time to be a child and I credit Christianity for that.
The contrast between then and now is mind warping.
Today Christianity ist verboten. JESUS can not be mention for fear of the ACLU and others. I am amazed at the garbage and filth that todays children see on a daily basis. I don't see that stuff is leading us to a better world. In fact, this is the only evolution I believe in, downward evolution of our civilization.
Anyway, at least you are honest in this post and where you are coming from. I do appreciate it.
Thanks, I wish you success in your research.
