Flood "Science"
Post #1Why do Christians insist that the flood story of the Bible have a natural explanation when God Magic is a ready answer.
Religion is poison because it asks us to give up our most precious faculty, which is that of reason, and to believe things without evidence. It then asks us to respect this, which it calls faith. - Christopher Hitchens

A true miracle is natural and is not magic.
See = Deism has the God of Nature.

Re: Flood "Science"
Post #24I embrace all religions and philosophies, and I distinguish whatever each one has that is right and embrace what is right and reject whatever they have which is wrong.Peter wrote: So you're a Deist JP? I was under the impression you're a Christian.
As such based on every religion then I always find myself as preaching Christ at the summit of truth, and so that makes me as foremost being a Christian - even though Christianity rejects me.
In example the Deist view of God as Nature has lots of merit and truth to it and so I embrace that too, but the Deist do not accept Jesus as the Christ which I do, and so the Deist do not embrace me.
I find this same problem in every religion - that I like their faith but they do not like mine.

I've often wondered who in Noah's family got to bring measles, mumps, rubella, gonorrhea, syphilis, HPV, hepatitis (all of em), herpes, etc to the post-flood world. Now that's someone who was truly loved by their god...Peter wrote: Another big problem with the flood myth is that the entire human genome had to descend from a handful of humans (mostly related genetically). We know that's quite impossible without god magic. So please, stop trying to convince us that the flood myth was totally possible without magic.
