Amen, Saying God is incapable of shining a light from a distant star on earth the day it was created, is saying God has limits.

It does not prove he did it this way, Just shows it is possible.

Which is why mocking people of either belief is a waste of time,

Yes for sure, mocking is a waste of time though dialog on the subject is interesting

I agree the beginning of science is just a theory until it's proven to be science of reality. Surely there are more scienctist that don't believe it was global flood. But on the other hand the earth is way bigger than the waters on it, so if some water came from the depts of earth locked up in rocks etc.. it wouldn't take very much to flood the dry land. Really all the oceans of the world is like a small puddle to the earth, there isn't really that much water on earth compared to the earths size. We live on the surface of the earth only which isn't very much mass compared to the whole mass of earth.

Have you ever heard of water being found miles below the surface, Much lower than what science thought it would ever be found? And this water is also called super water?

I love to discuss it,, I learned alot when people in my past said things I could not answer, and had to research it.. It is why I changed my vies on some things.

Sadly, discussing prophesy/earths age, and flood are the most heated topics in cc. thats why I do nto go in them to much. usually after a few days, they are so destroyed they are not worth it any more.. we will see what happens with this one.

wish we could use the bible but rome destroyed most of those scriptures. did they mention the flood, we will never know.
where does the bible forbid us to read history?

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

I'm sure the Pharisees had a hand in destroying things as well, it doesn't forbid learning of history and it doesn't forbid learning science either.

The ark is a prime example, it takes engineering to build a ship that can float properly, a properly designed and laid keel is very important to it construction. Yet scripture only mentions a short detail account.

Yea it's got to be dialogued in a certain manner, because either side can't 100% prove the other wrong lol..

i think they had a big hand in it. IMO the pharisees were roman. maccabees explains this but so many are told not to read that book.

Haven't heard of super water, but I have heard. Scientists have a theory of a lot of water locked within deep earth rocks. Possibly more than all the oceans combined.

This is actually a photo of a crater on the moon. There's a land rover in there somewhere with a digging attachment.

That's funny they built roads on the moon too, well there are a ton more around the earth, take a visit to Arizona look at that crater in the photo might make you a believer it wasn't on the moon.

excuse me I meant heavy water.. It has more hydrogen,, and is found deep inside the earth.. Russia and another group made huge digs, and found water deeper than science that t could be due to the weight of the land on top of it..
 
I believe it was worldwide - it covered the face of the earth - and the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the "face of the earth" both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; . . . Gen. 6:7

And all "flesh" died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth, and every man: ALL in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. Gen 7:21-22

. . . at the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. And the ark rested in the seventh month on the seventeenth day of the month upon the mountains of Ararat. And the water decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month on the first day of the month were the tops of mountains seen. Gen 8:3b-5

And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. Gen. 8:11

And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth . . . and in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. Gen. 8:13

The thing that amazes me is that Noah and his family with all those animals were on that ark for 1 year and 10 days!!!!

Yes..... I've been there, and driven down that road... it's a big crater.

I've got pictures of me there, somewhere. I was there in 2001....

Yea I just read on it, the Russians call it Noah's water, though the only I'd say somewhat misleading is the claim that scienctist think the earths deep crust is dry and rocky and has no water, now that maybe true years ago but today's science no longer supports the dry and waterless theory. Science says the whole universe is made up of around 70% hydrogen. would make since to me that the earth is hydrogen as well in various forms on top of and within it. rain drops and evaporation is still water but in different forms.

what is interesting is the same heavy water found deep inside the earth is the same water found on meteors and commets. and not the typical water found in the earth's oceans

I've wanted to venture out that way and see things like that as well, maybe one day I'll leave my cave. lol

I bet it was pretty cool to look at up close and all.

Huh interesting, makes since, ocean water is quite salty, mountain water coming out of the mountain is filtered through rocks etc.. Evaporation is desalination of ocean water and destills fresh too. I can see that water being different than say ocean water.
