Re: Block it from your mind...
Never mind, selective memory. I did an Advanced Search and found the discussion. You're right about that one but I still don't hold any credence to your belief about the creation account. For example: Things like telescoping the genealogies in the Bible, in the belief that only the most important descendants were included, renders them nigh on useless.

But there's no evidence of a global flood. (I know, I'm opening up a large can of worms)
You're only assuming there was a massive flood because that's what the Bible said, and therefore you pick out any evidence that might support a global flood. And when people point out how flawed the evidence supporting your claim is, you claim the evidence isn't flawed because if it were, then it would mean the flood never happened, and if the flood never happened, then the Bible would be wrong - which is impossible since it's the word of God.
If you want to have a discussion based on evidence, then let's use the evidence to form the facts, not the facts to form the evidence.
Who's word are we going to trust? God's word... as written down by man and as preached by man, or scientists... men and women who observed numerous types of evidences through double blind experiments that are repeatable and all conclude the same thing?
Did God say it directly to you, or did someone tell you God said it?
