Well Arch, I see you didn't bother to respond to my earlier post
i cansee why i didn't, it was written as one big paragraph which no coherence or indicators pointing out where your real point is or where the questions lie.
The bible is not fact, nor is it scientific
given the fact that the sceintific community cannot agree on what is the definition of scientific, that statement is without merit. i have shown under the Hypothetical-deductivism method, the Bible would be considered scientific
You can prove nothing without your precious bible to back you up
without the evolutionary theory, any 'evidence' scientists find means nothing so that charge is meaningless.
It is not accepted as a factual book.
just because it isn't 'accepted' doesn't make it false but let's look at who is doing the non-accepting---unbelieving scientists doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the problem there. then yo must look at the standard they are using and determine how honest and level the standard is. so that statement holds no water.
The byzantine empire compiled the bible. They were romans
proof please. the only Biblical writer that was a roman citizen, though born a jew, was paul. plus the old testament was written prior to the roman occupation.
No the whole foundation of christianity was built on lies and with political motivations
what lies? saying you do not believe it doesn't constitute it to be a lie. just means you don't want to beliieve it.
It's all smoke and mirrors. It's all deciept and corruption. You believe in a myth.
how is this so? what examples doyou have that these sentences are true?
making such statements without corroboration doesn't mean it is so.
The world is full of gullible people
true, that is why we have the theory of evolution to contend with. a theory that no one can prove true and must rely on declatory statements, as proven in that latest evolutionary topic.
Nothig else after that. No heaven, no hell.
can you prove that position? i don't think so.
They even give themselves loopholes so they can "sin" and then ask some make believe entity for forgiveness and then everything's allright
where did the concept of right and wrong come from if there is no ultimate , moral standard to set the rules? evolution doesn't have the concept nor the ability to create or maintain the standard.
You, arch, have offered no proof, no evidence, no facts and yet you say you have proved your point.
that is a lie, i have offered much proof, with the latest being the failure to create hybrids outside of their kind, yet you are so closed-minded you never see it.other proof i have shown is the failure of evolution to backup its claims, exampled by the latest fish fossil and the fragment find inethiopia. evolution is a desparate theory for the desparate. they are desparate because they do not want to believe the Bible but that is there only option.
Show me facts. Cite precedents
i have done so but you refuse to listenor accept my sources, which is another excuse to contiue in your own beliefs. go the maternity ward, the vet hospital or even a plant nusery and you will see even today that all things continue as set out in the book of genesis. you can't manipulate that fact like evolutionists manipulate fossils, the dating proces, geology and so on.

i have prventhrough those quotes that science is not objective at all thus its conclusions can not be trusted nor can the scientists who do the research because of their pre-set beliefs both scientifically and religiously.

I hope and pray you will come to know Him

Ha. Not likely, friend.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

I don't know why you would think that.

You're a laugh a minute.

here is an interesting point made by dr. schoch in his book, 'voyages of the pyramid builders' pg. 251:

"preliminary archaeological research suggests that this flood was real, not a literary invention. in the gulf of cambay off the state of gujarat on india's west coast, possible evidence of extensive human habitation along what once was a river has been discovered 130 feet underwater."

couple this with ryan and pittman's discoveries in the black sea and you have evidence for more than just a local flood.

You still continue to miss the point....deliberately, at this point, I suspect.

The Black Sea flood WAS a local flood. What Hancock was talking about was a world wide catastrophe as a result of rising waters at the end of the ice age. The event is recorded in the mythology of cultures around the world. The johnny-come-lately version which was stuck into the bible is a poorly redone version of the Sumerian Gilgamesh myth.

There was no pissed off god making it rain, though.

Technically, the "flood" is not over. After the initial, rapid increase in sea level there has continued to be a smaller but steady rise since the end of the Ice Age.

Like the stock market, it has its fluctuations but the general trend has been upward.
