>>It would appear that I’ve smoked you out. Your insular view of Christianity precludes any real understanding of science, and the beautiful harmony of science and faith. Your conclusions, based purely on rationalization, are ludicrous. Fortunately, you don’t make all Christians look stupid. You jealously keep that all to yourself.
*********************************************
Do you know how to turn a snarky, self-righteous evolutionist into a babbling idiot? Ask him or her for scientific evidence for the religion of evolutionism, like I asked you.
Every Christian I know loves the Word of God, and cannot get enough of it. Why are you afraid of the Word? Does it rock your worldview to read specifics like these?
“In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.” — Gen 7:11 KJV
Fairy tales begin with, “once upon a time,” or “millions of years ago,” but not with “In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month.”
How about population statistics? You do believe in that branch of science, don’t you? Let’s try it on the three sons of Noah:
“And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. These are the three sons of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread.” — Gen 9:18-19 KJV
The Septuagint, the Greek Old Testament, an ancient text that Christ and his Apostles frequently quoted, states the flood occurred about 3,000 B.C. Applying that to Noah’s children, we have:
1) Starting population = 6 people (Noah’s sons and their wives)
2) Ending population = 7 billion (current population of the earth)
3) Time passed = 5000 years (since the flood)
Calculated growth rate: 0.41755%
Summary: less than a half-percent annual growth rate is required to reach the current population in 5000 years, starting with a population of 6, which was the child-bearing population in the days of Genesis 9:19.
Numbers like that scare the daylights out of the evolutionism establishement and their devotees — those who understand the math. It shouldn’t bother you.
I eagerly await your next babbling rant.
Mr. Kalamata
I asked you not to make Christians look stupid, yet you persist in that endeavor.
Why have you deflected from the original topic and launched instead into a general, shotgun defense of literal scripture instead? As I said in an earlier post, I have the utmost respect for those who believe the literal word of the Bible. Just don’t try to strengthen your weak faith by parading a farcical scientific rationalization.
The Bible is not a science text.
One more point: in your population growth example, do you realize that you used a formula for calculating annuity value? Your “mathematics” does not consider that people die, or that events like famines, plagues, etc. have a significant long term population effect.
You have no idea what you’re talking about, but you’re not alone. There are more than a few doubters like yourself who do their damnedest to make other Christians look stupid.
Here is a moving-graphic depiction of human population growth over time.
