Do you know this from first-hand experience, or what?

The world

covering biblical flood is quite a different matter.


The known world in the biblical flood...
A huge amount of water that doesn't exist here toady would have to had
existed at that
time.


Why?


It would have had to be someplace else before the flood, and then
after the flood, it would have had to go some place else.


Much like the water in New Orleans. It wasn't there two weeks ago.
Three months from now it will be somewhere else. Will you be able to
account for all of the water then?

Hang on a second, Brian. The amount of water needed to raise the level of
water coverage to 29,035 feet above sea level does not simply come and go
like the water that flooded New Orleans and Mississippi and Alabama. How
much water do you figure that is?


Actually Mike, I've always figured that the Biblical flood was something
like the catastrophe we've seen in New Orleans that grew in magnitude as the
story tellers passed it down by word of mouth and wove in the religious
aspects for many generations before it became a written document. Afterall,
there weren't policemen around so the perceived "wrath of God" would have
been a reasonable tool to convince people to behave in society.

Is this group a good place for your fighting with Steve? Seems like
there might be better places for that.

Lets make a deal, Mark.

I'll quit posting off topic messages about religion, and you quit
posting your off topic bar brawl with K4YZ.

Is it a deal?

"looked" "Genesis" "religious"

"better"

What better place than in a forum of persons supposedly dedicated
to "communicating"...?!?!

What's that matter? Make you nervous?

And that makes tremendous sense to me!
