Re: Biblical interpretation

How are my objections to the ridiculousness of the millions of years geology has assigned to a layer of a few feet of limestone followed by millions of years of another layer of a few feet of limestone followed by millions of years of a layer of a few feet or so of shale etc etc etc "flood-based?"
You're not being singled out or critcized, and I think you misunderstand my intentions. My goals are:
  1. Help this thread maintain a scientific focus.
  2. Let you know that your God and Bible positions have a proper venue at EvC Forum should you wish to pursue them.
  3. While not a primary goal, I was also trying to help you see that there is nothing wrong with the flood as a topic. Your denial that you're arguing from a flood perspective makes little sense, for two reasons. First, advocacy for the flood is very much on topic. As I said once before, the flood is in the very title of this forum, [forum=-7]. Argue for the flood all you like. Second, while your above comment accurately describes some of your posts, they don't erase your other posts where you make arguments for the flood, so I don't think your denials about arguing for the flood are going to ring true with many people.

Forum Guidelines Reminder
To everyone: please stay focused on the topic and avoid the "did not, did too" and "you don't realize how wrong you are" digressions.
Past experience teaches that by 300 posts most threads have drifted way off topic, but that's not the case here. This thread is a bit repetitive, but this seems natural. I don't know if one of the moderators will close this thread, but if they do I hope someone proposes a continuation thread. I think the questions being raised on both sides will find better answers if the discussion continues.
