I guess that's why not one single person has refutted anything that I have linked to.
We are trying simply trying to avoid battle of the links. You have something to say, spit it out in your own words.
So the 500 plus flood stories in cultures spread out over the entire world is no considered independent corroboration.
Nope. For one thing, flood is a regularly occuring natural disaster all around the world. Despite its regular occurances, whenever it happens it is still a really big deal. So, it is no surprise that a myth about global flood found its way into many cultures.
The question you should be asking is how the hell did the ancients, with their limited technology and knowledge, really know that the flood was really global and not just local?
I feel sorry for you all, claiming to be critical when you just swallow the same bitterness that the mass media keeps dishing out.
Uh... ok. Is that the best you could do?
Be investigators. Don't just accept what your high school science teacher told you. Realy investigate these things.
So, you're a telepath now. You could read our minds and know that we haven't really investigated these things. No wonder people like you are not really taken seriously.
Tell me what is incorrect about the links I posted. Oh, nevermind, your own administrator thinks that there are no real answers, so none of this matters, right?
If you have the time to find those websites and really read what they had to say, why not have the time to put it in your own words here? Let me be honest with you. I hate clicking on links. Worse, I hate clicking on bare links. If you really know about these things the way you claim to know, why not put them here in your own words?
You've gotta be kidding me. That's what I get for trying to have an intelligent conversation with people who support porn.
I'm just wondering. What was the highest level of education have you completed? Please do not take this question as an insult. There is a minor mystery and I just want it resolved.
May God remove the blinding hand of the devil from your eyes. In Jesus Name. Amen
I'm curious as to what kind of scientific data and evidence do you have to show us that there is a devil's hand blinding us from the truth? Is there some kind of infrared or ultraviolet detection involved?

Now I would like to start a new thread on independent historical corroboration for the big bang.
Again, I'm curious to what your last level of education was? When we touch on a topic such as the big bang theory and its supporting evidence, we will be covering concepts that even college physics major graduates have trouble understanding.

Independent historical corroboration for the big bang would be written records by eye witnesses or oral traditions. None exist.
Imagine this. You are a detective and you are investigating a murder. At the scene of the crime, you found the victim brutally raped and stabbed to death. At the crime lab, they've done a DNA analysis of the sperm sample recovered from the victim and all over the floor. It just happens that you have a suspect and his DNA markers match exactly with the sperm sample from the crime scene.
But wait, you can't convict the bastard because there are no eye witnesses or any kind of oral tradition regarding the incident.
The kind of evidence scientists have been discovering to support the big bang theory are as convincing as the DNA scenario. Now, be honest. Do you know the first thing about the big bang model?
