short off topic post
Prove it. Prove to me that the earth has NEVER been covered in water.
Of course it can be proved with the understanding that honesty is involved and proved carries the normal disclaimer of "having a very high degree of confidence but alway open to revision should new data show up. LOL
It is NOT though something for this thread.
AbE: (hit wrong key)
It is certainly clear that the earth did not start off covered in water. During the early life of the earth, conditions were too hot for water to even exist.

Re: short off topic post
It happens to be THE definition of proved used in science. Sorry.
Shall we move on to another false statement in the Bible?

How about Joshua Long Day
DivineBeginning writes:
Please cite some scriptures...no, just one scripture that is false in the bible.
Joshua writes:
And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.
This is a story, a legend a myth. Is it false? It depends on what you mean by false. Are legends and myths false?
This event certainly implies an incomplete understanding of cosmology if nothing else.
However, if it were true, it definitely would require the suspension of a multitude of known and consistent physical laws. It would have been one of the grandest divine interventions in the affairs of humans that has ever been recorded including the flood, all the miracles of Christ and the alleged divine reaction at the point Christ's death which was relatively mild by comparison.
Compare the tearing of the temple curtain and the darking of the sky for a few hours to the stopping of the rotation of the earth and the independent orbit of the moon. And all this to what avail? So that the children of Israel could continue with slaughter and retribution?
If you believe this is true then you must believe the God works his best works when it involves slaughter and genocide.
