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.

Raging Bull... do you think it is possible to be sad in heaven?

Quite possibly... but Raging Bull and a significant number of people on this planet believe it literally happened as described in the old book. Despite there both being a lack of evidence for it and lots of evidence against it. Why is it insulting to highlight flaws? If it really is the word of god then it should hold up to scrutiny... but it doesn't.

Which question have I skipped?

Raging bull claimed that in order to get the evidence required to believe in Christ you need to believe in Christ and it will be revealed to you. That is circular reasoning. So it is you that 'does not get it'... not me!

What questions do you think that provides water-tight answers to? Every single 'answer' to the questions is deeply flawed and does not hold up to scrutiny when applying a rational mind to it. Pick any of their answers and I'll explain why it is flawed.

There is no evidence there was ever a flood (apart from an old book). This is simple stuff Turkish, you are making the assumption there was a flood despite no evidence. Some sea life can live in salt water or freshwater, some sea life can only live in salt water, some sea life can only live in freshwater. There is no scenario where a global flood can see all three groups survive. It is not me being 'not very bright' on this Turkish... look closer to home! There is lots of evidence there was not a global flood... for example the Chinese & Egyptians existed before, during and after the flood is supposed to have occurred and were not wiped out!

So in order to believe in Christ he has to believe in Christ? Can you not see why that is flawed? It is circular reasoning!

Careful... don't make his head explode with one of the hundreds of contradictions in his religion!

Surely if he is 100% kind and loving they shouldn't need to fear him!

It is as you also appear to see no issue with freshwater fish not being able to live in salt-water. Yet again... you are making a flawed point by assuming the flood happened before proving it did happen. There is no evidence apart from an old book by unknown authors that it happened.

At no point have I said every prayer is harmful. You continue to ignore this and appear to think I have. Yes/No answers to these won't take you long... 1) I think it is healthy to believe in as many true things and as few false things as possible. Would you agree? 2) One of the best ways to reduce the amount of false things you believe in is to see if it holds up to scrutiny under questioning. Would you agree? 3) Beliefs influence actions and actions impact on other people. Would you agree? 4) Reducing the amount of false beliefs reduces the likelihood of negative actions on wider society. Would you agree?

Yep, a 4 year old can see the story is bull****! Raging Bull believes all animals were on the ark. Noah lived in the middle east, kangaroos live in Australia... how did they get on the ark and then back to Australia without leaving a trace of their migration? Noah did not know Australia existed! Nor did the people who made up the stories in the Bible.

That fundamentally flawed and illogical as it is based on an unfounded assumption there was a flood in the first place! If there was a global flood, whatever the salt level some life would not be able to survive, if it was high, low or somewhere in the middle. Yet all sea life lived through it! As did Chinese civilisation with no record from the Chinese that they drowned. They lived through the global flood!
