    Let me re-phrase my line of reasoning; why have free social morals under Any form of Capitalism? Wouldn't capital based morals be more rational.

    No, you are making up something about me.
    Christian virtues, as you display them.

    As usual, your only arguments is to make false and defaming remarks about other people.

    Any idea why people outside your "faith" hold people like you in such contempt?

    You forget to deal with this truth...


    As for discoveries, the fact that every relevant discovery shows there was not world wide flood
    but you still say there was, um, that show that just who, exactly is the one "in denial"?

    Anyway, as usual, your only arguments is to make defaming remarks about other people.

    When it comes to talking about facts and data, you are helpless
    .


    - - - Updated - - -


    "Free social morals". "Capital based morals". You are tossing about terms we've never heard of
    probably because you invented them. Who could make sense of your question?

    Of course for you it does not explain anything because you do not read the Bible even though the Bible is there for you to read so I have no problem with that it is you who have a problem that it is written.

    Genesis 6
    And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

    2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

    3 And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

    4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.


    If it is not there then those scientist are wasting their time but they are not wasting their time because they have pin pointed the location of Sodom and Gomorrah.

    Yes there are other sources than the Bible and those sources conform with many things about the Bible but when it comes to Jesus Christ the Bible is the best source because as I have pointed out the Pharisees did not kept any records because they are shunning, censoring and blocking Christ out from Jews and others. The Romans did not kept any records because Jesus Christ was consider a local case between the Pharisees and Christ it is only after Christ resurrection and the spread of Christianity to the Roman household that Rome started to pay attention and kept records.

    You are getting confused again. Im just telling you that if you cut and paste
    (we know when you do it because your English is so bad) you are supposed
    to say where you got it.

    Like this, say...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodom_and_Gomorrah

    The historicity of Sodom and Gomorrah is still in dispute by archaeologists, as little archaeological evidence has ever been found in the regions where they were supposedly situated

    Get it?

    Einstein thought your religion was childish. So, what exactly are you trying to prove here?
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Yes, there is definitely a quote by Einstein who thought religion was childish but he was also quoted as to saying,

    "I want to know how God created this world. I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts; the rest are details."

    So it appears Einstein was confused or something...kinda like most atheists...eh? On one hand he believes religion is childish but on the otherhand he says something that makes him appear to believe in God and that's the basis of religion...the belief in God, it all starts with the belief in God first.

    So what are you trying to prove here with the confused Einstein?

    Then you're wrong. You claimed that there were other survivors of the flood and not just Noah and his family. The Bible says that God killed every living thing that was NOT on the Ark.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Of course there were other survivors that weren't on the Ark. Have you thought about all the marine life that lived in the ocean?...(like whales, sharks, dolphins etc.)

    Evidently you haven't. If you read the flood account in Genesis very carefully you would have come upon this passage that said,

    "Everything that breathed and lived on dry land died. God wiped out every living thing on the earth---people, livestock, small animals that scurry along the ground, and the birds of the sky. All were destroyed." Genesis 7:22-23 NLT

    Of course it is a made up story. A global flood never happened. I haven't posted any links, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. Lying again?
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Sorry but you don't know for sure it is a made up story. It is just your opinion/belief that the global flood never happened.

    Unless you have insight to 100% of all knowledge you can never be sure as to what did/or didn't happen some 5-6 thousand years ago.

    As a man of faith, I can only say I believe the global flood did happen because I have faith in the Word of God!

    The part in bold is so lame, but then, its all you have, we should not begrudge you it.
    Regardless of the exact time frame for your "flood", it is not necessary to
    have your silly "100% of all knowledge".

    For example: Who needs 100% of all knowledge to know the earth was not buried
    in a mile of gold dust 6000 years ago.

    How about, 100% of all known information relevant to the subject shows there was not a mile of gold dust. Same with your silly child-story "flood".

    Oh and btw, your "faith" is not in the "word of god" but in your ability to know that there is a "word of god", and what it says. its not the same thing at all.

    How old is the earth?
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    That is a question that only God could ever answer since He is the Creator, sure we have these scientists telling us what they think but their answers are based on theories, speculation, guesswork.

    And since no human being is omniscient, we will never know precisely how old the earth is.

    Geesh, are you still responding to my posts from four threads ago? Falling pretty far behind, huh?

    And no, Einstein's beliefs weren't confused. Einstein was a pantheist. You can believe in a God and not religion.

    Most of the Psalms were poems from the Ugarit..

    How old do you think the Red Sea is?

    The mountains didn't pop up 6,000 years ago.... and Sumer is very flat.

    The post that quote of mine is from, if I recall, was directed towards cupid dave's assertion that other humans survived the Flood.

    Evidently you didn't read the post that you're replying to since I wasn't talking about non-human survivors.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I can be 99.999999999999999999% sure that it didn't happen based on the lack of evidence that one should see from a catastrophic global flood that covered all mountains.

    Of course I'm still responding, look aren't you here on my thread responding?...lol And no I'm not falling behind, I mean it is not like I have a deadline or something to meet...no pun intended!...lol

    FYI a pantheist by definition is the doctrine that God is not a personality, but that all laws, forces, manifestations, etc. of the self-existing universe are God.

    It also means the worship, or toleration of worship; of all gods of various cults.

    I'd say giving the definition of pantheism it is definitely a religion and thus Einstein was indeed a confused man.
