Re: Evidence AGAINST Christianity
Science can easily supply the answer as to the proper biblical interpretation through genetics and mathematical models of population growth.

Re: Evidence AGAINST Christianity
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] txa, I've got a question regarding the ark. Did the flood indeed cover the entire earth, so that all humans and land based mammals now living descend from those on the ark? [/ QUOTE ] I'm not sure, BluffThis. Common belief is that it did indeed cover the whole Earth, but there is also a convincing Biblical argument that it was a local flood. [/ QUOTE ] Yes sure! And Noah had to go an fetch all the animals specific from each continent, right? Kangaroos from Australia, kiwis from New Zealand, penguins from antartica, bisons from the americas, etc. So, did he build smaller arks to go and fetch them all? Not forgetting that he had to go and put them back in their proper places after the flood, unles they were going to skip and hop and swim all the way there as good homing pigeons. No records of those travels of Noah's either and that would have been an achievement that was only technologically possible in the 19th century and I am sure more worthy of records than many other trivia contained in the bible. Common, people, I am sorry but I will now refrain from making comments/replies to any one who claims that the bible if literally true. The absordutity of the position is so grotesque, that I feel there is no chance for those people. They will lead their life, blind to reality, stiffled by their narrow morality, in cuckoo's land. Good luck. |

Re: Evidence AGAINST Christianity
I just checked all of Not Ready's posts in this thread, and I didn't see an answer to the question. It's a question that can be answered in one word: Do you believe that there were humans living on the planet at the same time that dinosaurs were? Yes or no?
Thanks. |

I just checked all of Not Ready's posts in this thread [/ QUOTE ] I don't recall commenting one way or the other or being requested to. Since you ask: How do you define dinosaur? Clearly their relatives(reptiles or birds, I don't think science has completely settled this yet) are alive today and most likely were pre-flood. If you mean trex, I don't know and the Bible doesn't say. |

Re: Evidence AGAINST Christianity
Is the reason you don't know because the bible doesn't say? Or is it because you merely have never read scientific determininations of the dates when trex walked the earth versus the earliest examples of ho.mo sapiens? Or is it because you reject those scientific determinations because they conflict with your interpretation of the bible though you can't explain it any other way?

Is the reason [/ QUOTE ] I don't know when God first created man. I don't know the date God created trex. I don't know the date God created the universe. I don't know the date God created earth. The Bible doesn't give a date. Man gives a date. Man gives more than one date. Man gives the dates based on unprovable assumptions. Man may be right. Man may be wrong. I don't know. |

And how you think the bible is a source of pre-historic and scientific knowledge. Why don't you go research the difference between a "theory" and a hypothesis in science. It's pathetic to see a fellow christian resort to such mealy-mouthed evasions so as not to face the question squarely as not whether the bible is true, but is his own interpretation and that of his denomination is true. This should be a matter of both intellectual and spiritual integrity. I know this sounds harsh and I have been sarcastic in the past. But our Saviour said yes when He meant yes and no when He meant No, and never evaded except on purpose so as not to enlighten those with closed minds and hearts. Science is merely an explanation of how God's creation works, and there should be no conflict between true biblical interpretations and true science. If there is, especially when it would take a parlay for multiple scientific theories to be wrong in order to make your specific biblical interpretations right, then how can you persist in such interpretations when there are other christian denominations without such conflicts? |

[/ QUOTE ] You misunderstood what I meant about NotReady's answer in another post applying to your question. Nevermind. As for your question, I already answered this in another thread. I said that although I might be answering out of ignorance, I do not believe that dinosaurs walked the Earth at the same time as man. I also said that that is off the subject of the thread, as it is off the subject here also. |
