I may not be a Biblical prophet of Yahweh, God, but even the least of His Children know better than what you purport. They have been sealed by the Holy Spirit and walk after the Spirit not after the rules of this age. It is plain to all the rules of this age will burn with the passing of this age, as the Word says, what is called time.

It is futile to attempt reconciling the creature to the Creator. God will do this in His time and come His great and glorious Day. Surely Yeshua is coming soon, amen.


It is a fallacy to set science up against God. The two co-exist quite happily. There are scientists who pretend to use science to disprove God. They will get nowhere. There are Christians who try to use the bible to disprove science. Equally, they too will get nowhere. The balance is in finding harmony between the two, which involves not straining bible passages to the point of absurdity, just as much as it involves not straining science to the point of excluding God.

Believe me when I say that creationists and those who insist on pedantic interpretations of Genesis in vogue a couple of centuries ago are doing more to harm the cause of the gospel in the secular UK than to advance it. These guys are being treated like loonies by the press. How is that helping the cause of Christ? Not an iota.

The children of God are not defined by doctrinal beliefs as to Genesis, where the original meaning of every word can be put at issue and is open to debate.

2 Tim 2'14 "Keep reminding God’s people of these things. Warn them before God against quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen."

By putting up doctrinal dogmatism over Genesis as a condition of belief in Christ, you are merely setting intellectual idols and preventing people from coming to Christ, just as those who insisted on only Latin translations of the bible be permitted in olden days.

OK, so you were fortunate in respect of your investments, but that doesn't mean that you're infallible.
Quite the opposite. It only means you're a novice, because the apostles had no such securities and were robbed and deprived of their worldly goods - things that you are unlikely ever to experience.

It is clear you like to toy with words. Good -bye.

I have seen some good programs on the BBC History iplayer about the history of the various continents. Believe me, geologists are pretty clued up about how everything works these days. Science has progressed enormously of late. There is no way that the mountains have changed much in the last 4500 years. In geological time spans, 4500 years is insignificant.

Cataclysms happen.
This was just a little one.
The Flood was a Big One.
Rearranged the entire planet.
Any geologist who doesn't understand that is not "clued up".
Quite the contrary.
The evolution paradigm is a hindrance to science.

True. Are you talking about Mount Saint Helens?

God created cavemen to show women what men are really like.

Then God was merciful on us guys, and He created the dinosaurs to eat off all the cavemen, so now women don't know what men are really like until after they marry them and it's too late to back out!!!

Sorry Ladies, looks like T-Rex's (like dogs) are a Man's best friend!!!

.......there is absolutely no evidence for a world wide flood.......
There is nothing but evidence for it, physical and documentary.
Your statement reveals a complete lack of geological and historical understanding.
Most of the Earth's features could only have been formed by water.
The world-wide Great Flood is the most documented event in history.
But hey, the blue pill is so much easier to stomach, right?

That a flood within the last 3500 years. Show us the evidence.

Those guys are idiots. The earth would have gone into a tail spin as far as life goes. Life requires more water than land in order to support life. Life also would have started on earth when the water levels reached the correct point. The oceans are a key point in how the climate works.

I'm not sure, but the worldwide flood would've affected the landmasses greatly. Creation scientists believe that roughly 70 percent of the earth was land and 30 percent water, before the Flood. Since the Flood, that ratio has more or less been reversed.

This statement makes no sense.

We live in the information age, remember? It's all over the internet.
The evidence is only hard to find if you refuse to open your eyes.

Transcontinental Rock Layers - Answers in Genesis
Noah could not have lived earlier than the bronze age, circa 3500 years ago max.

The sedimentary rocks are far older.

Proving that dry land was once water, zillions of years ago, has no relevance to Noah.

Documentary evidence shows that Noah lived 5000 years ago.
People were making things out of bronze and other metals long before 3500 years ago.
The proof is in the coal. Again, you have the internet at your fingertips. Look it up.

I'm wondering if anyone can explain why god made dinosaurs and cavemen?
So we could have Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble hahahahha oh yes and Dino and Bam Bam. :) Just joking of course! Yeah I know.

Neanderthals, homo erectus, homo australapithecus and the lot all are real. God created them because he can. Who is to say this is not so?

Cavemen still exsist today. Three people in my neighborhood have built houses in caves and just love it. Heating and cooling are much cheaper on their wallets.

Science often uses carbon 14 to date 'sedimentary rocks'. Radiocarbon (carbon-14) is a very unstable element that quickly changes into nitrogen. Half the original quantity of carbon-14 will decay back to the stable element nitrogen-14 after only 5,730 years. (This 5,730-year period is called the half-life of radiocarbon) At this decay rate, hardly any carbon-14 atoms will remain after only 57,300 years (or ten half-lives).

So if 'sedimentary rocks' are really millions of years old, as evolutionary scientists claim, no carbon-14 atoms would be left in them. Indeed, if all the atoms making up the entire earth were radiocarbon, then after only 1 million years absolutely no carbon-14 atoms should be left!

God created dinosaurs so that a trillion years after they died we would have oil reserves from which to draw on to produce gasoline with witch to fuel our giant SUV's that produce mass amounts of carbon monoxide, that cause global warming, and eventually the end of the world...........ALL PART OF HIS MASTER PLAN to rid Himself of those pesky humans He created.

Cave man was a proto type He used to perfect His final creation........many flaws existed and were in need of correcting.
