Some water measurements for the Flood

Your math is correct.But I thought there were two sources of flood water: rain and the "fountains of the deep."--Percy

Evangelicals believe the flood was a miracle. This is from the definition of miracle in Baker's Evangelical Dictionary. Baker's uses the same definition of miracle you do but understands the world-wide flood described in the Bible couldn't have been natural. Baker's not only calls the flood a miracle, it calls it a "major miracle": Answers in Genesis also believes the flood a miracle. This is from Did Miracles Really Happen?: --Percy

Perhaps ye of great faith could pray for an end to war, hunger and ethnic hatred. The number of displaced peoples has just reached the highest level since World War II: article--Percy

Hi Faith,Hooah is trying to see if you can describe a path to your conclusions using facts and reasoning (i.e., science) rather than faith and belief.--Percy

If by "answered him quite aptly" you mean you consider an answer based on faith sufficient for a scientific question, then yes, I "discern another route."--Percy

Are you saying there's no "dichotomy between faith and science in this case"? If so then that's interesting, bewildering even, but not the topic here.Anyway, Hooah and everyone else in this science thread are interested in the evidence you can bring to support your conclusions and not in your faith that you are right.--PercyEdited by Percy, : Quote more fully.

There are two interpretations of what you said in the sequence of messages from your Message 98 to your Message 102. Here's the sequence: What you're referring to in this part of your Message 102 isn't unambiguous. You could be referring to making it bloom within the circle. Or you could be referring to the belief that making it bloom outside the circle would be easier.So now it's clear you meant the latter, but not why you think it would be harder to offer a non-prayer explanation for blooming outside the radius rather than inside. Is it because of all the water supply infrastructure around Las Vegas?--Percy

Okay, a perfect circle. How does that explain why turning the Mojave green outside the circle is harder to provide a natural explanation for? Or isn't that part important? Anyway, if you're confusing me then you're probably confusing Faith, too.--PercyEdited by Percy, : Typos.

What we're interested in is the facts you can bring to bear to support your conclusions.--Percy

I thought it was a perfect circle either way, with the two scenarios being inside the circle becomes green versus outside the circle becomes green. Another point of view could be that if prayer could work miracles in sin city, that would appear even more intentional.I don't actually have opinions on this either way. I'm just trying to make clear why Faith might be confused about what you're saying.--Percy
