Ermacc:The continental drifting happened millions of years ago, Noah's ark happened a few thousand years ago after the continental drifting making the story implausible. What don't you get? |
Re: Noah's Ark And The Animals - My Question by ScepticalPyrrho: 11:18am On Mar 29, 2017 |
Ermacc:You mean you just have to accept that those events actually played out in real life? |

CatfishBilly:and who told you the continental drifting occured millions of years ago and Noah's ark happend few thousand years ago? Just answer this and i'l tell you what I dont get. |
Re: Noah's Ark And The Animals - My Question by Ermacc: 11:28am On Mar 29, 2017 |
ScepticalPyrrho:In a science class i'l be a jackass to accept that, but in reality, almost anything is possible. |
Re: Noah's Ark And The Animals - My Question by CatfishBilly: 11:36am On Mar 29, 2017 |
Ermacc:Geology is a science that can be measured and verified. Geologists said so. Bible scholars say that the earth is at least 6 thousand years old with no proof to back up their claims. So, I'm listening. |

Ermacc:common boss, defend us well. From Adam to Jesus is about 3k years and from Jesus to us is 2k years plus...... add up. guy just leave that argument as a Christian we CANT explain all the things if not all in the bible, atheist are smarter accept that and leave the thread 1 Like 1 Share |

Kyase: Gonna bookmark this comment for reference sake.... Presence signed. atheist are smarter accept that and leave the threadAtheists ain't smarter than theists. We(ie human race, irrespective of belief system) all are smart & intelligent beings but it all boils down to how we channel the brain in thinking and reasoning & not been dogmatised by religious doctrines & tales 1 Like |

Ermacc:Just tell me, and sincerely, have you ever experienced anything extraordinary in reality? |
Re: Noah's Ark And The Animals - My Question by Ermacc: 12:00pm On Mar 29, 2017 |
CatfishBilly:what i don't is why you selectively biased as to what you choose to believe regarding what bible scholars say. You claimed Noah's ark happened few thousand years ago in your previous post just to support your conclusion, and now you claim bible scholar said that without proof. And funny enough, you don't even believe in the event of Noah Ark. Thats my problem. You select only the part of the fairytale that supports your claim |
Re: Noah's Ark And The Animals - My Question by Ermacc: 12:07pm On Mar 29, 2017 |
Kyase:I am aware I cant explain everything, i cant even explain a quarter of it. But why do you think atheist are smarter? I really dont know what you mean by that. Anyone can be smart irrespective of whatever their affiliations are. If I pretend to be an atheist argue that the supernatural is just a fiction of our imaginations, i'm sure you will label me as smart. |
Re: Noah's Ark And The Animals - My Question by CatfishBilly: 12:07pm On Mar 29, 2017 |
Ermacc:I mentioned the age of the earth as per Bible scholars to continue this discussion with you. Whether I believe in it or not is irrelevant. So, now, tell me what I don't get? |
Re: Noah's Ark And The Animals - My Question by Ermacc: 12:08pm On Mar 29, 2017 |
ScepticalPyrrho:yes, I have |
Re: Noah's Ark And The Animals - My Question by Ermacc: 12:15pm On Mar 29, 2017 |
CatfishBilly:Then this discussion also lacks relevance |
Re: Noah's Ark And The Animals - My Question by ScepticalPyrrho: 12:16pm On Mar 29, 2017 |
Ermacc:and the only reasonable explanation is that it must be of supernatural cause? |
Re: Noah's Ark And The Animals - My Question by Ermacc: 12:20pm On Mar 29, 2017 |
ScepticalPyrrho:yes. I exhausted every logical explanation for it. Including the "I don't know" explanation. |
Re: Noah's Ark And The Animals - My Question by sirvvy: 12:33pm On Mar 29, 2017 |
ScepticalPyrrho:Well, I have gone down this lane, I was so skeptical to the teachings in the Bible until I had that experience I(quite a long story tho) . Somethings are left for the OMNIPOTENT cos when we human reason about them, we tend to create answers entirely different and to suit our own understanding. Well thats it ... |

Kyase:Our ideology of years started with the gregorian 12 month calendar, the Chinese calendar is a totally different thing. What time frame constituted a year in the abrahamic era might be different from the noah era and adamic era, and is certainly different from the messaic era, which in turn is different from the gregorian era. 2 Likes |

Ermacc:you can not pretend cause you don't have solid proof to justify your pretence. So leave it. You Christians only believe whatever I'd in the Bible. Anything not in the Bible you guys are in the dark. Just dumb this Christianity of a thing it just fairy nonsense |

sirvvy: What do you call omnipotent. Omnipotent and your Jesus had to die.do you people even understand what it means to have unlimited power. You can do all things. |

God likes unnecessary magics, sometimes he did love to see things play by nature then adds a little magic to balance the equilibrium After all we add Maggi, salt to our soup |

adepeter26: Wow brother! I wasn't gonna respond...but since you so nicely placed me 1st on your list of names, I feel honored & compelled to. Brother, hate to say it but you violated my policy of "no insults". You insulted & mocked my Lord & Savior (on this thread) & continue to do so. Therefore, once again no answer from me. #Nottakingthebait In the time that it took for you to research those lovely cartoon pics, you could've gotten down on your knees and actually asked the One whom you have the issue with? #AreyouafraidHewillanswer? #Stopthetrickeryit'snotagoodlook. #Jesuslovesudiedforuandispatientlywaitingforu! 3 Likes 2 Shares |

sirvvy:@Bolded part... That's actually one of the theories of how religions came to be. Every person would interpret things the way their mind can understand it. It doesn't make it a universal principle. Have you wondered why the Jewish God's character is so much like a jewish person? He only loves Jews, punished Jews, cared for the jews until 30BC? Common, just think. If a God can give you brain use it to its full capacity. And right now, I have more convictions that Yahweh can't be an omnipotent being. As a matter of fact, it wasn't real. Just like every other god all over world, Yahweh was just someone's way of making sense of event beyond his understanding at the time. How else do you expect primitive men to explain how the rains came to be, or the sun, moon, sea, thunder etc. The Yorubas have a claim to knowing a God of thunder. The absence of written records makes our African Traditional religious posits seem inferior. Stop lying to your own intellect. Religion strongly holds on to fear and mere beliefs as authenticity. You can't prove "jack". The convictions you think are genuine, doesn't really hold water. You only know what you know. You can believe whatever you think makes sense in the absence of knowledge. |

Ermacc:You don't have any logical explanation... but you also exhausted the "I don't know" explanation? Do you know what it means to know something? It means you can explain it, you understand it, you can pass it on, it is evident and factual. You can't claim to know what you can't prove. Anywhere beyond "I don't know" is either knowing or assuming. In your case, even worse, it is mere believing. |

adepeter26: This are good questions, that will be answered. But the way people throw caution to the wind and start making derogatory statements and remarks is a cause for concern. When this is put to check, certainly i will get involved in the discussion. |
