pirana 0 #3 May 16, 2007 I get the link between GP and GW. What in God's name does that have to do with Noah's Ark?" . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelpdiver 2 #5 May 16, 2007 My mom visited the Turkish site for Noah's Ark a few years ago before she went on to climb Arawat. I suppose for the devout with some imagination, you can believe that the rubble might be the petrified remains of the boat. Not sure why they would build another to confuse the picture, though.

JackC 0 #6 May 16, 2007 I must admit, I do find a certain irony in the act of chopping down a load of trees to build a useless object because they're upset about man's impact on the environment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the latter, they will need more time. Greenpeace, what a bunch of wackoos, but at least this project keeps several of em off the oceans for a short while.

If evolution can account for a few thousand kinds becoming a few million species in only 4.5 thousand years, why can't evolution account for a bacteria becoming all of todays species in a few billion years?

dorbie 0 #10 May 17, 2007 Silly questions. Everyone knows that the lack of unicorns today is proof that the flood happened and Noah saved everything else. Go on, prove me wrong, show me a unicorn, you can't do it can you?! huh? SEEEEE!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Care to try answering one of the other questions? I know they're very hard (because the flood is a load of piffle*) but I'm sure if you actually put some thought into them you might just do yourself some good. * Yes I said piffle. I'll even throw in a tosh and codswallop for good measure. PS. Something from nothing exploded or..... a magic man done it?

Lessee... a million careful, objective measurement and a couple of centuries of astrophysics and mathematics lead humanity's smartest thinkers to irrefutable conclusions which are not yet completed ... ... or one old novel, badly edited by committee then mistranslated and clearly formed from hearsay, hyperbole, and political self-justifications says we all have an invisible friend who sometimes gets really angry and plays favorites based on personalities, idolization, random factors of birth, and ass kissing ...

Yes I almost added weight to my argument with the rainbow evidence but ultimately felt that rainbows merely distracted from my searing unicorn flood proof which should be more than enough to convince anyone. I remember that remarkable rainbow discussion since I participated. As you say, Rainbows were called evidence since they're God's promise that the flood will never happen again, it was claimed that there were no rainbows prior to the flood. It's the kind of thing kids are taught in Sunday school every weekend. Only a wicked child would argue with their kindly old Sunday school teacher. Are you a wicked child jakee?
