That's because you are trying to force a conclusion from the Bible that was never the intent from the creation account.

The Bible (specifically Genesis) is not a set of complete creation notes for us to understand "How God created the universe" It never had that intent or purpose. The scriptures contain history but it is not a complete history book nor was it written with that intent.

It has lessons from history that are relevant to understand if you want to have a relationship with YOUR Creator. Otherwise don't bother. But that course of action and intent is highly discouraged by me and others...meaning it's not in your best interests.
Nothing actually relevant in this post, to my original post. The text gives an account why death exists. We know this isn’t a representation of reality as reality shows death existed before humans.

The only relationship your having is with fallible humans, that are dead. Who didn’t even know death existed before humans.
Anymore red herring arguments?

Your lack of understanding about logical fallacies is astounding.

So....since you are constantly making logical fallacies and have yet to actually logically refute a completely factual post or point doesn't it stand to reason that you have made a grave error in your conclusions?

It does to everyone who actually uses logical reasoning.

You’re post had literally nothing to do with my original post.

Nothing vague in my original post.
When a clear answer was given early about interpretations of Genesis you said that it's not related when in fact it is related because it shows causality.

I don't want to assume you have comprehension problems because this isn't your first rodeo in this forum and i enjoy your mindless banter. :coffee:

Serk, you are getting into argument for the sake of argument without looking at Christians with an objective view of the fossil record who can show how it supports the Bible.

It's like winning a debate with philosophical thought without looking at the objective measure.

Evidence that Demands a Verdict is one book among many with references that can show how the Bible is supported by the fossil record. Also articles by Ken Ham.. or John McKay plus others.

One central problem: have a look at how fast human skeletons disintegrate when continously flooded and dried.. flooded and dried.

I can't wait to try out this persuasive strategy with scripture.

"I'm right. The Bible speaks for itself"

BOOM!

As the post said nothing about death. So is not relevant to anything I said.

Why don't you create a vague poll to clarify your vague post?

Yes, you deny the fossil record. Which means you deny evidence.
The history we have documented only began when the written word began. There is no proof of true history before that.

Yes, the fossil record does speak for itself that’s why you won’t find humans in the earlier record. Death existed before humans.
Okay, when the flood came, men who had boats got into them. Those without boats would find something that floated and jumped onto it. Others started climbing hills and mountains. In these cases, when the flood finally took them, their bones would have been on the top layer of sediment, wouldn't you say?

Now be honest, if you lived in Noah's day, and it began to rain so your home, etc., were underwater, wouldn't you jump into or onto something that floated? If you did, I'm sure your bones would settle on top of the many giant dinosaur-type animals that could not climb, swim, or float. Six thousand years later, when they find your bones, they would say, "Hay look, Serk's bones are here; he must have floated on something or been on a boat for 39 days before his end came.

No fossils are out of place. You should really learn about the geological column. All creatures have their designated period.
