Matthew Le God

Yes it is ffs Further evidence that you do not know what evolution is! You say it is 'not hard Matthew' but you appear to not be able to understand the basics of biology.

I did not agree with you. The Bible talks of a global flood that covered mountains, Noah did not know about the animals living in the Americas, Australia and other parts of the world so could not have saved them.

What are your talking about? That does not address the post of mine you quoted.

The point is clear... Noah did not know America, South America, large parts of Africa, large parts of Asia and Australasia existed... let alone what unique animals were there. How did the unique wildlife of Australia survive the flood if Noah didn't sail thousands of miles to pick them up from a continent he didn't know existed and then drop them off again? There is no evidence of kangaroos migrating in either direction.

No, not in 4,000 years! Humans common ancestor with fish is 375 million years ago, huge amounts of change can happen in 375 million years of natural selection but not in 4,000 years. Can you not see the vast difference in evolutionary scale between 4 thousand years and 375 million years?

By the way... the ark at that theme park is of the dimensions as described in the Bible. However a wooden ship of that size is impossible and would fall apart so they needed to strengthen the theme park ark with steel. Something Noah didn't have!

Does the Bible come with a sticker saying 'do not take literally'? No... it doesn't... which is why millions of people do take it literally. Just look at the Bible belt in America where they spent £100m on this... Which is why my point regarding kangaroos is relevant despite you dismissing it! Noah did not know America, South America, large parts of Africa, large parts of Asia and Australasia existed... let alone what unique animals were there. How did the unique wildlife of Australia survive the flood if Noah didn't sail thousands of miles to pick them up from a continent he didn't know existed and then drop them off again? There is no evidence of kangaroos migrating in either direction.

I'm pretty sure I've answered every question of yours. If I haven't which one did I miss? Are you aware that the time period from humans their common ancestor with fish is 375,000,000 years ago and that Noah's flood is 4,000 years ago? 4,000 years is tiny in evolution and not enough for the fundamental changes in anatomy you are suggesting!

Raging Bull appears to believe it literally happened, as do huge numbers in the Bible belt in the USA. I do wonder how they fed the lions... did they turn vegetarian? Repopulating through incest is a genetic nightmare waiting to happen!

You failed to answer my question. Do you seriously not believe evolution by natural selection explains the diversity of life on the planet? It is an observable and testable fact.

A few minutes ago when I said I don't know what happened before the big bang and that 'before the big bang' may even be nonsensical as existence before time is a non sequitur. I have never said there is no god... I don't know if there is. However I can say with 100% confidence the god as described in the Bible does not exist as it is contradictory nature shows it is impossible for him to do so.

The Chinese living before, during and after the supposed flood shows it did not happen. The Bible claims everyone died, yet the Chinese and every other civilisation around the world did not die from the flood. Do you seriously not believe evolution by natural selection explains the diversity of life on the planet? It is an observable and testable fact.

Why is that hypocritical?

This is something you keep messing up on. You are coming from a starting point that there is a 'who'. That is not how scientific enquiry works, you follow the evidence to the answer, you don't start at an answer of a creator and work backwards (like you keep doing!). Science don't know what happened before the big bang, before the big bang my even be a nonsense as before time has no meaning. Why do you seem to have a problem with 'we don't know the answer'? Why is that unacceptable to you?

Salt-water fish lose water to their surroundings through osmosis, freshwater fish do not.

We are not talking about hundreds of thousands of years... the Bible says the world is 10,000 years old and the flood happened 4,300 years ago! The Chinese and other cultures around the world lived before, during and after the flood!

It doesn't require any faith. There is demonstrable and testable evidence for the Big Bang, there is not evidence for a divine creator apart from an old book. Evidence of Big Bang = red shift of galaxies, measurement of cosmic radiation, amount of light elements produced by BBN plus others Evidence of creator god = an old book

No, because they would be evidence in the fossil record and DNA sequence... and there isn't.

Have you considered that may be a nonsensical question and that it is impossible for anything to exist before time? Existence is temporal by definition.

How have you worked that out? People believe lots of things despite evidence against it. People are gullible.

Have you still not grasped that some aquatic life can not live in salt water and some can not live in freshwater? Yes, some can live in both, but many die if moved from the type they have evolved to live in.

Not simply 'my perspective', they are demonstrably 100% false either due to contradictions meaning it cannot be correct or evidence that shows it is false.

How have you determined the likelihood of one vs the other? Evolution by natural selection is an observed fact, it is not fanciful. The Bible claims man came from clay and woman came from a rib. That is fanciful and not supported by evidence.

All three of those questions highlight a flaw in Christianity. So it is not daft to raise them.
