    You have to remember that the Bible claims the flood covered all the mountains .. covered them by 22 feet precisely..

    Creationist claim the earth was FLAT before the flood and the mountains pushed up afterwards. Soooooooooooo.... all the earth's mountain ranges are less that 4000 years old!

    Really? Which one of the Creationists made such a claim?

    What are you talking about. We are discussing the validity of Noah's Ark. We don't believe it and we offered up some evidence. Either refute it or move along.

    The dimensions and materials used is given in the Bible.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noah's_Ark


    There are many good morality tales. The point is that it is a tale :)

    So now you are saying that the 'Bible' is a credible source of information and evidence?

    And.... You have proof that the story is just a "tale"?

    Cool. Now that we are finished with your line of questions for me... it is time for you to answer my questions. Where did the information contained in DNA come from? Did it just pop into existence from nowhere? What are the absolute probabilities that DNA could randomly organize and develope a lifeform?

    I do enjoy life as much as possible. But I see no reason not to believe in the afterlife. If I am wrong, I don't see myself caring after I'm dead.

    So I have a question for you. Why dues it make any difference if people think there is a spirit that lives on after the body dies?

    So, two busybodies made a foolish assumption. That can't be possible.

    I've stated repeatedly that the bible is spiritually inspired text that is metaphorical. You just ignored it because you want to rattle on about his stupid fundies are. You also want all believers to be fundies because they are easily ridiculed.

    I'm sorry it isn't that easy to ridicule 98% of the world.

    LOL I merely pointed out that the dimensions given in the Bible are not sufficient to house 2 of every land species.

    That in itself is proof the story is a tale. Is that proof not compelling to your mind :)

    Fundies are eminently worthy of ridicule. I do agree that they do not represent all believers.

    TRUTH matters to a Modern Secular Humanist, that's why.
    Also realize that our enemy in this longest of all US wars, with no end in sight (and the enemy is striving for nukes), uses the promise of an after-life to encourage it's minions to kill, kill in the name of it's invisible friend. Faith is dangerous.

    Stop lying! It came from ZEUS!!

    Perhaps this is a start. http://www.livescience.com/3214-life-created-lab.html
    I'm not qualified to discuss this. Just thought it interesting.

    Of course it is not compelling to my mind.... it was written and translated by man. Man has been known to make many mistakes in his endeavors. However, you are depending on the criteria written in the 'Bible' to be accurate so as to be able to mathematically justify your position. Without such belief on your part that those numbers in the 'Bible' are supposed to be accurate, then you have no argument on that subject at all.

    So now you are a believer in "bigfoot"? Wow... when did they find proof of the existence of "bigfoot"?

    Yeah, they do tend to give believers be they Buddhist Hindu, Islamic Jewish or Christian bad stigma.

    Overly loud in the mouth and empty in the skull.

    Please examine that title: [h=1]Life As We Know It Nearly Created in Lab"[/h]
    Looks like they need to go back to the drawing board.

    There is a difference between "making a mistake" and making up a tale. Regardless, good that you recognize that the story in the Bible is not factually correct.

    Claiming that a sky fairy created life, when there is absolutely no evidence of such, is a bit stupid.

    If we don't have an answer, then how can we have an answer which is something other than god? Not having an answer while having an answer? LOL

    So you claim that it's truth that there is no after life and no soul. If it's truth than it should be easy to prove it, so be my guest.
    I assume you are talking about the middle east. The war could be over tomorrow if we use our might to end it. We choose to drag it out because war is good business.

    It has nothing to do with faith.

    The bible was never meant to be factually correct. It is spiritual text using metaphors and stories told for generations to get a deeper idea across.

    bigfoot is real, there is even a show on tv about it. Nobody has ever seen zeus on the side of the road but plenty have actually seen bigfoot, they even have it on video walking at a quick pace looking over its shoulder.

    I'm not sure I've ever seen a post that was so wrong.
