Hey, don't forget the Great Flood, that somehow flooded the entire world including the tallest mountain peaks (air must have been getting a little thin there, eh, Noah?) and then ('act of God') receded somewhere - without also destroying all the plants, insects, microbes, etc ... so now we are all descendants of Noah & wife, and every animal in existence today is descended from the pairs on the 'ark'.

quite simple and explainable if you believe science Mike,

many are familiar with Talk.Origins, counted among the top pro-evolution sites on the Internet. Most of the people running it are ostensibly atheistic. Many had a Christian upbringing and are using evolution as a pseudo-intellectual justification for their apostasy. But they realise that rank atheism is repugnant to many, so they publish articles claiming that you can believe in God and evolution. It’s quite a sight to see people, known personally to us as rabidly hostile to Christianity, yet who are eager to assure inquirers that many Christians accept evolution. It reminds me of Lenin’s strategy of cultivating useful idiots in the West, who were too gullible to realise that they were undermining their own foundations. See also The Skeptics and their Churchian Allies
In one sense, it’s good to see articles like that by Mark Isaak, where the author displays his contempt for Scripture [and I don’t simply mean questioning biblical literalism, but direct mocking attacks against the Christian belief that the Bible is the inerrant written Word of God that “cannot be broken” as Christ Himself believed (John 10:35)], yet feigns concern that “a global flood makes the whole Bible less credible.” How do police investigators normally treat statements by witnesses who are blatantly dishonest?

The serious and objective student of this topic would definitely find it worthwhile purchasing John Woodmorappe’s book Noah’s Ark: A Feasibility Study, which answers most of the other objections. Isaak has supposedly “updated” his article to give the impression that he has responded to Woodmorappe. But it’s interesting to compare the two, and see that Isaak has hardly read Woodmorappe, who had more scholarship on each page than Isaak had in his whole article.

Attempting to appear wise, you've all become foolish. I'm confident that time will tell

Every ancient civilization on earth has a record of that flood.

jimmy, where I live in Missouri was once a sea/ocean.. I do not see it as "out of the question"

no, it is not a problem jimmy.. a place in Texas, a national/dinosaur park I believe has human footprints alongside dinosaur tracks in hardened sedimentary rock, I guess there is an atheistic explanation for that also

Really? You guys actually believe that drivel about a 'great flood'? You don't think for a moment that it's a parable, a story meant to relay some message that has been lost in time? Really?

Jimmy, if you are sincerely interested in knowing how the science COMPLETELY lines up with the Creation account, then may I suggest your read one of the top astro-physists in America today, Dr Hugh Ross.

I have been labeled a heretic for daring to utter that the original translation (hebrew) is completely consistent with the scientific account, except our version came thousands of year before science had a clue. Faulty translations into european languages, with the addition of mainstream Christian theological interpretation, force the scriptures into saying something that they do not actually say. For example the hebrew for "day" is "yom" and it's primary definition is "age or epoch", but theologians try to force it's second definition instead. They say it means a 24 hour day, which is obviously impossible since that is measured by the Earth's rotation in relation to the Sun which wasn't created until the third "yom". For that matter, a day at the north pole is about 6 months!?!

So if you want to rail against what mainstream Christianity says, you'll find me to be a helpful advocate. If you want to say these things didn't happen, then you'll need to explain how history proves that they did.

For example, forgetting the details, for Moses to have just gotten the sequence of Creation right all those years later as a Prince of Egypt is an astronomical impossibility of one to the 10 millionth power. It would be like stacking up quarters eight feet high on the State of Texas and reaching in to grab the one red quarter of the bunch on your first attempt.

lack of proof.... there's a reason why it's called "faith".

you did not read a damn thing I put up? about sedimentation deposits proving a World Wide Flood several thousand years ago?.. what phucking proof do you have about the evolution ..NONE! you believe in the Big Bang can't believe that's creation? atheists must die!

I kinda hope Trump gets in, and then like the Federals in the 1860's forcing the border state citizens to take an oath of allegince to the flag, but instead Trump forces every citizen to take an oath like the Masons that makes you swear to believe in The Great Architect or you are sent somewhere else, we don't need no stinkin' atheists here stinkin' up the country and ruining people's lives
