when we die we will find out if Mr.Magnetichead or W0RF was right
if I'm right, we will never find out

W0RF said:If we assume that the flood was global, it still wouldn't raise the water level high enough to cover everything. However, if we assume it was local, a flood that put the Mesopotamian Plain under 20 feet of water would flood that area enough that from Noah's vantage point, the water level horizon would be about 8 miles away. Moreover, even the taller mountains would not be visible at a distance of over 50 miles. So from Noah's standpoint, there would nothing but water in every direction.
Further, we have traced humanity's roots back about 30,000 years, when we branched out from... the Mesopotamian Plain. Which also happens to be the only place on earth that bears any evidence that such a massive flood ever took place in humans' brief history on the earth.
If God sent the flood to cleanse the earth of man's rampant wickedness, he would not have had to flood any other part of the earth to accomplish such a task. Therefore, there would be no need to bring animals from outside that region.
For once? What makes you think I'm not offended by every other Jesus-bashing that goes on here? Just because I don't make it a point to object to them all doesn't mean I wouldn't appreciate just the tiniest modicum of respect from some people. I just know better than to expect so much.Sam_The_Man said:Bwahahaha. Why, is he going to Hell? Could our Worf actually be unequivocally condemning heresy for once?
OK I lied, I will respond to this one point because it demonstrates that reading comprehension is not a prerequisite for this forum. Read above, Mag. Humanity spread from the Mesopotamian Plain 30,000 years ago. That's not my opinion, that's a paleontological fact. So you're ranting and raving aside, the fact remains that whether God created humanity or not, all the races of man came from that place on earth at that point in time. So basically, you're not really mocking the Bible with this paragraph so much as mocking a pretty basic fact of human history. gg :tup:mag said:Oh yeah and let's not get started on race or anything, because after we the flood we all know that we all just painted ourselves different colours.

I don't know. Do I?Mr.Magnetichead said:Paleontological fact? You accept that perticuler paleontological fact but you dismiss the dinosaurs, the evolutionary stages of pre homoerectus man and the actualy age of the planet?
W0RF said:you're not "seeing whether I'm consistent" because you're putting words in my mouth, which I did not say, and which you can see quite easily that my own beliefs are a far cry from what you're posting here.
In the meantime, don't come here with posts about being raped by God and incest and dinosaurs in three different posts, and tell me I'm all over the place.
You want to find out what I think, ask me, and knock off the bullcrap.

Was an interesting read...

Mr. Magnetichead said:She was raped though. If God is or was as portrayed as he was in the Bible as this amazing all powerful creator or everything that was is and ever shall be, then how can he expect a small teenage girl to understand what she was letting herself in for.
That's right folks, God was a kiddy ****ing pedophille.
