Noah

Once again, I asked you to provide some support for your assertion, and all you can do is laugh at the very notion of supporting your own statements even as you repeat them...

I just don't see this as being behavior that can be classified as rational by any sane mind.

 

Of all the possible debates or arguments that could take place or exist between a Theist and a Realist....THIS TOPIC...is without a doubt the least defensible topic that any Theist could chose to defend.

If the debate were about whether a person like Noah existed....or if a large scale flood occurred...a Theist and Realist could actually come to an agreement as there was a massive flood in the Black Sea Basin area in 5600 BC and it is certainly possible a merchant or trader who had animals aboard their boat could have easily rode out such a flood.

But for any Theist to attempt to actually defend the Biblical version of a Worldwide Flood....and a man named Noah building a boat that was capable of holding two of each species of animal aboard it....IMPOSSIBLE....never mind being able to harvest two of every land species within even a 1000 lifetimes...IMPOSSIBLE....never mind being able to carry all the food and water to feed such animals for 40 days and nights so they would not die...IMPOSSIBLE....etc...etc...etc...

Well...such a position being held by a Theist would give them an IMPOSSIBLE TASK of defending such a position.

Never mind the fact that in order to cover all the continents of the world sea levels would have to raise 5.5 Miles which in turn would KILL ALL LIFE ON PLANET EARTH....by a number of natural disaters.

That is because you are making false statements and trying to pass them off as true. If you were intellectually honest you might be able to carry on a productive discussion and wouldn't have to resort to discussing people instead of the topic.

 

You can't defend your own statements because what I am saying is false?

That makes even less sense than your other posts, particularly since I'm the only one who has been able to support my statements with reason.

 

More false statements...thanks for proving me right.

 

What do you believe was "false"?

 

Your statements are false.

 

That's funny coming from the guy that said:

More hypocrisy and dodging? Is that really the limit to your contributions?

If you think I've posted something untrue, give an example and I'll provide evidence. I know what an alien concept that must be to you...

 

some ppl get lost

 

Many people don't.

For those who get lost...aka...go on a Drug and Alcohol Fueled Multiple Year Bender....there is becoming a Born Again.

Have you EVER met a newly Baptized Born Again Christian over the are of 27 who had not hit...ROCK BOTTOM before they became a Born Again?

Believing in a GOD is ALWAYS more attractive when a person is either in a Foxhole or has hit Rock Bottom.

But not all people need such a thing.

Israel did, thats why they remain faithful.

 

Are you referring to the Biblical Story describing the Hebrews getting lost in the Sinai?

Because that story conflicts with other stories in the Torah as in the Tanakh before it there is a story of Moses CROSSING the REED SEA...known as YAM SUPH which appears 23 times in the Tanakh and means sea of reeds or REED SEA.

The Reed Sea is a marshy tidal area between the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea and the Tanakh describes Moses and the Hebrews being chased by the Egyptian Army crossing the Reed Sea at low tide and as the Egyptians in pursuit attempted to cross low tide ended and the water came back and swamped the Egyptian Chariots.

was referring to the prophecies of deuteronomy and the scattering of Israel to the four corners of the earth.

 

I have taken on a few JOBS that caused me to work in that area of the Middle East and if it were not for the fact I owed a friend BIG TIME....I would have NOT taken the JOB.

I got stuck there for a MONTH one time as my Team and I were tasked with handling security and being FREAKIN' BABYSITTERS....for low level negotiators who's job is to negotiate all the details to allow High Level Talks to take place.

Basically when you hear that the Palestinian Authority or Hamas or Hezbollah refuses to talk with the Israeli's and when you hear the Israeli's are refusing to talk with those groups what this actually means is I end up getting stuck playing BABYSITTER while the lower level negotiators for all sides try to repair the damage caused by their higher ups.

Everyone...and I mean EVERYONE on all sides comes to the American's and starts crying like some little kid stole their toy dump truck!

No side want's to risk P!$$!#% US OFF as we supply BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in U.S. AID to all sides.

As well groups like Hamas, Hezbollah and even Islamic Jihad do their very best NOT to do anything that they could be blamed for as far as harming any American's.

Once they spent a whole day arguing over whether it would be water bottles or pitchers of water with glasses that would be placed upon the High Level Negotiating Tables.

Since all sides don't trust each other we end up being the one's that all sides KNOW will be impartial at that level as they KNOW...the LAST thing I want to be doing is having to be there and I take no sides.

I even locked them up in the same room until they agreed on an issue and told them if any of their personal security forces attempted to come into the below ground level facility I chose as a safe place to hold such talks that I would have my TEAM...SHOOT ANY SECURITY GUARD ON SIGHT...if they attempted to force their way into the facility.

I HATE having to be there.

I saw the movie "Noah" but I just saw the movie for its entertainment value. I will opine that those stone angels reminded me of those robots from "Transformers."
