The Pyramids vis a vis the Flood

If God was going to create people after the flood then why bother saving Noah and his family? Why bother saving all the animals?God could simply have started everything again rather than going through the ludicrous Flood scenario we read in Genesis.

Well, since God was able to make a 6000 year old universe appear to be over 12 billion years old, cleaning up after the Flood shoud be quite easy for Him.

Sure! He outsourced it.

Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

I thought Noah only took teensy weensy little baby dinos aboard the Ark?

Have you ever formatted your hard drive? You know for a fact that you will reinstall certain systems and add new files to the new OS. Yet, you insist on saving whatever you can from the old OS.That's just one possibility. Obviously, God could do whatever He wanted. The question is why not save Noah and his family? Why not save some animal? Yes, He COULD have.

I'm trying to see things your way, but I can't put my head that far up my ass.

It's amazing the gyrations Flood believers will go through to explain the physical evidence against a global flood - but when confronted with evidence that can't be explained, they completely ignore it.If you were to have your HD reformatted, you wouldn't use any of the O/S that was causing problems, you'd use the original (A&E) and try not to screw it up again - or, you'd develop a whole new operating system. Keeping parts is sure to cause problems again unless you were sure they were good. If things were so bad God should have
1 - stared all over again with a new GoE - this time without the tempting tree and maybe creating Sam and Julie instead.
2 - eliminated only the bad parts - making all the sinners disappear. That sure would have made the good people sit up and notice.

The Bible has to be true - no one could make all that up.

Don't tell me you've never reformatted and saved some backup files from the old OS. And I'm pretty sure if God had done what you proposed you'd be complaining why God didn't do it in more of a flashy way to get our attention.Admit it. No matter how God had done it you'd be complaining anyway and suggest that you have a better way at doing it.Edited by Taz, : No reason given.

I hope you are either being facetious or sarcastic. The above statement makes about as much sense as "the speed of light was different 6000 years ago" or "radioactive decay rates were different 6000 years ago."

That would be cheating. And since when does "reason" come into it, anyway? True. Unless the author was omniscient.

I think he's just talking bollocks, as we say here in ye olde worlde. Ask him a question, and what do you get?

I wasn't referring to the knowledge of the author. I was referring to the technical part of it. Just how would you suggest cramming everything about everything about every person that has ever lived in the entire span of human history into a book or series of books in a practical sense? Even today in the digital age such a detailed historic record would be unreasonable to ask for.

For anyone who enjoys words, there are things that the world can thank the creationist movement for, and this is one of them. It's real!Poetry!

You have a point. I guess you'd have to be omnipotent.

First of all, this side of the world is just as old as your side (unless you know something that most geologist don't or haven't had the heart to tell us).Secondly, please reread the all the posts in this thread up to this point (and perhaps other threads on this topic). You will notice that mine is the least ludicrous and illogical.
