Seraph is correct and I'm not being biased by saying that Lucid. Please join us in something closer to the topic if you choose of course.
And when I said it's a FACT that a global flood never happened, that's what I meant. There is ZERO geological evidence for a global flood, and an event of that magnitude would leave evidence behind. Also, today's biodiversity wouldn't be possible if just a few thousand years all but 2 of each species would have died. And lastly, there isn't enough water on earth to submerge everything in the first place. In short, a global flood simply never happened and you'd have to be incredibly brainwashed to ignore that FACT. Local floods, sure...global floods, not a chance.

I don't mean to offend you, but this is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. Not only is it COMPLETELY off topic, rambling, and incoherent, but you posit the notion that you require physical evidence of GOD in order to participate in this thread? REALLY!?

So what you are saying then is if you believe in something, it's true.
If you read about something, it's true.
Have no evidence about something, it's true.
Have that warm fuzzy feeling about something, it's true?
OK, Rightyo then........?

That coupled with your misguided warm and fuzzy beliefs that you can't prove are hilarious.
WOW a cart wheel under water, it must be true
Do you even bother thinking for yourself? Are you aware there is ample evidence for a HUGE regional flood, that actually coincides with the account given in Genesis? Have you bothered to take a look at that evidence or are you just content to parrot ideas you've been fed while accusing theists of doing the same?

Ok, now you have me interested.
I have 2 questions for you.
1. Do you believe in Science?
2. Do you believe in Evolution?
I'm just interested to know this from the person berating my beliefs.
It's funny my evidence is the presence of nothing you have mentioned in any of your posts.
Your evidence is a story with a few artifacts.

Show me the money?
All of those wars would still have taken place because the true intent was not religious, but greed and insanity. Religion was the excuse used in order to grab land, gold, slaves...

Well Jig I think you're wrong. And it won't do any good to say anything more. So have it your way.edit on 22-8-2012 by randyvs because: (no reason given)
It's that you only ask the questions you are told to.

Thank you for your link.
What exactly do you mean:
It's that you only ask the questions you are told to.
Surely I should ask every question?
Questions like:
Creation or Evolution?
Immaculate conception?
Genesis?
Why is it said that evolution provides the scientific orthodoxy for the philosophies of Marxism, fascism, racism, apartheid and unbridled capitalism?
What I really would like to know however is, how does your belief play a part in your everyday life?
Do you think you are somehow better than me because you have your belief?
Why force it down my and others throats?
How will belief change my life?
Why is religion in my eyes the root of all evil and starts nearly all wars.
So, when you have stopped with your archaeology lessons, please offer me some proof of god.
