Ping!
Bttt. Both Dr. Morrises are such nice men.
dittoes from a Global Deluge adherent!
God said it. I believe it. Thats it.
“it could not have been just a local flood covering the Mesopotamian River Valley, as taught by most leading evangelicals today”
What?
Since there is no globe in the Bible, how can a global flood be Biblical ?
I’d be interested in seeing a thread, or even several, perhaps Caucus to keep distractions and argumentation to a minimum, with the many believers in the literal nature of the Bible here on FR, to discuss the various implications of current scientific thought, and just where the error(s) lie versus Biblical truth, as far as the global deluge, the age of creation, cosmological advances that would seem to indicate geocentrism, etcetera. We have an apparent wealth of in-depth knowledge here among those who are not hostile. Why not brainstorm? I’ve tossed out a few things myself, over the past six months or so, that seem to have shifted the center of gravity a bit, at least in this little corner of the web. So have many others.
Just to kick it off, I’ve been wondering just when the age of this Earth became such an all-encompassing issue for science. When did this concern first arise in a major way, and what was the putative age believed to be at that time? And, how has that belief changed over time, to the present? Dating methods in current use must have a very basic, erroneous assumption, in order for science and truth to be so far afield from one another.
Is this notion appealing? We’ve got threads here that have been active for years, so it could be quite the accumulation of thought, links to pertinent articles, that sort of thing.
There, fixed it.
And the whole world's land life was repopulated from what was on the Ark.
And every species existing today was on that one Ark.
And we have no dinosaurs today because they didn't make it on the Ark.
And you make fun of "Evos"?
Can one not believe in Noah and the great flood without having to try and prove it scientifically? Some of the animals on the ark (if not most of them) would have to walk for years to reach the ark. There is no scientific plausible way for water to be created in order to flood the earth. Floods are not new water, but simply transfers of water from one place to another. In other words, one can believe in the great flood by simply accepting that God made it all happen. Why even argue with science about whether it is possible or not?
