They are interesting in the truth in science and not the fairy tale for grownups that evolution is the way it all happened. Long, long, ago - billions of years - in a far away land the failry tale for grownups begins and ends with the frog turned into a handsome prince.

I am only interested in the truth and a few jokes.
Do you have any?
HalleluYah !!! Praise the Lord!

If you notice towards the end of the article it says they spent a half mil on just advertising.
That is so sick. Not caring about advancing science but in destroying it.
Cap and trade anyone?

I think that is one of just many that are sprouting up in our nation - filling the youth of our nation with rubbish. I have a friend who wants to go just to laugh out loud at them in person :>😉

The story of Noah is probably related to the formation of the Bosporus strait when the Aegean Sea likely spilled over into the Black sea some 8000 years ago. I know that this may be difficult to believe given that some folks believe the earth to be only 6000 years old. I know that our God has a sense of humor and I bet he/she is having a good laugh over this 6000 year old myth. It is possible that some wise man had forseen the problem and built a rather large boat - hence the story. But seriously - I doubt the whole world could fill up with water and cover the highest mountain - do the math.

How do you know that 'our' (our??? who's the us here?) god has a sense of humour?
How do you Know that your god even exists?
Particularly given you appear to be equivocating over your deities gender, which is a subject that for
once the bible is really clear and specific about. The god of the bible is very definitely a him.
But seriously - I doubt the whole world could fill up with water and cover the highest mountain - do the math.
You doubt the entire world could be flooded to cover the highest mountain???
You have a noticeable element of uncertainty as to whether it's possible that within the last 4000 years
the entire planet was covered with water deep enough to cover the highest mountain without there being
a single solitary shred of supporting evidence for it and entire mountains of evidence disproving it???
I think what you meant to say [and feel free to correct me if I am wrong] is, "I am absolutely certain that the
entire world wasn't flooded 4000 years ago because I am not an ignorant brain dead moron..."
I agree that the event you mentioned is one of the possible sources of the flood myth of the bible,
although flooding is something that many/most peoples around the world experience and can make
up stories about... However this is not going to have any effect on YEC's like RJHinds or the JW's
who believe in magic and don't even understand the concept of evidence...
But much more interesting (to me at least) is how someone who does accept that the stories in the bible are
not actually true can still actually believe in the existence of the deity described in it.
I mean if you don't believe that the great flood myth is actually true, then you have to think that your god
had his prophets make up a story about him that made him look like a genocidal maniac so that we could have
a factually inaccurate story for why we get rainbows...
I don't understand how you can apply logic and reason to decide which bits of a magic book you are prepared to
believe.
I mean I understand (but can't comprehend or agree with) RJHinds and the JW's fundamentalist view where
they just flat out ditch all evidence that contradicts their view of what the bible says in an outright rejection of
all logic and science...
But I don't get people who do accept reason and logic but still believe stuff as unreasonable and illogical as the existence
of the Abrahamic god.

Originally posted by RJHindsOnly thing that will do that is a big fat asteroid, been a while, about 65 million years since the last one, but now we have telescopes that can watch out for them and spacecraft that can nudge them out of harms way. Your god will have to be a lot sneakier next time. I think humans will be up to the task. Humans 1, your god, 0.

"How do you Know that your god even exists?"
I don't "know" in the sense that one can prove scientifically.
I believe in a first cause and choose to call that/it/he/she God.
If some people view my "belief" as whishfull thinking and pure fantasy - so be it. As long as I don't force my belief upon others I don't see any harm in it. Since we are not at the point where science can prove or disprove the existence of a God I don't see any point in worrying about it and move about my daily life trying to make the best of it - "cultivating my garden".
