Building something is one thing. Hauling it to water and putting it there is another.
Or do you suggest they make another one and put that copy out on the water?

no Biblical verses against one!

Genesis: 19 And the water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains everywhere under the heavens were covered. 20 The water prevailed fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered. 21 So all creatures that moved on the earth perished: birds, livestock, animals, and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind; 22 of all that was on the dry land, all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died. 23 So He wiped out every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from mankind to animals, to crawling things, and the birds of the sky, and they were wiped out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark. 24 The water prevailed upon the earth for 150 days.

Show me the addition, highlight my socalled "addition" in red.
you cant, we know why.

Bird and dino are different family.

One big factor in belief in bioevo is to appease the world, who hates the YEC (Genesis trusting) position because they know that it opens a great wide door to trusting the Bible.

many people would become Christians if they found bioevo false and Genesis to be true.

The bioevo Christians dont like the pressure from the world. they think that compromise will fix it. but it tends to harms Faith rather than help.


You didnt seem to address these parts.
 
"Gerard: I think that some people may have an inability to cope, and maybe this might sound a bit extreme, but that might be Darwinian theory, the Darwin theory of survival of the fittest. Maybe some of us aren’t meant to survive, maybe some of us are meant to kill ourselves. . . .

There’s too many people in the world as it is. Maybe it is survival of the fittest, maybe some of us are meant to just give up, and maybe that would help the species."

Wow, your new, non-Genesis idea of "evo is how God created" is very hopeful. NOT.

Genesis = history. The only logical, sensible view.

Also, Evolutionists like to point to variation within kinds and claim that species are evolving.
 
"revision"
It is no light claim to assert that someone is "revising" or "adding" to the Bible. apparently you think its light??

You not once highlighted exactly what i "added" or "revised" because it is figment of T.E. imagination!!

Apparently God adding plagues must be some allegory too! Its unpleasent so allegorize it and "save yourself"! loool.

How to be thiestic evoist 101 - just make anything contradicting your worldview allegory! simple!

You reject the Global Flood and thus belittle God's Judgment in the process. You likely don't like the Flood being global because of why God sent it.
If the Flood was "local" it merely picked off a few people, not obliterated all but 8 like Genesis says.
 
And we all know that the problem with trying to recreate the Ark has nothing to do with how long the hull will stand up.

Hmm , I have not heard about this problem , what is it ?

Food, fresh water, waste disposal, etc.

Who planned Noah's trip ?

Noah. God didn't leave much for him the the way of instructions.
Gen. 6:5 And Noah did according unto all that the LORD commanded him.

Well it is a good thing God was in charge of the details of this trip even if we mere mortals do not have access to these details .

1. Noah was told dimension's to construct the ark in and what materials to use .

2. Noah was told to gather food for the trip , we are not told in the Bible the menu plan for all the occupants .
If you would like to believe that God did not tell them how much and what kind of food to take I am not sure why you would .

3. Unless I am missing something I believe potable water would have been in abundance .

4. Remember that God is the sponsor for this trip and he would have had the details covered .

Things to think about , how active would all the animals be on rocking boat in almost continual darkness ?

Could it be that God did something to the animals to cause them to sleep almost continuously ? Darkness and the sound of rain on the roof makes me sleep :sleep that is for sure , lol .

There's always a miracle one can present to account for any problem. Time stasis in the hull of the Ark would do it. But still...
 
Noah. God didn't leave much for him the the way of instructions.
WRONG.

Then the Lord said to Noah,Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this generation. 2 You shall take with you seven pairs of every clean animal, a male and his female; and two of the animals that are not clean, a male and his female; 3 also of the birds of the sky, seven pairs, male and female, to keep their offspring alive on the face of all the earth. 4 For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights; and I will wipe out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made.” 5 So Noah acted in accordance with everything that the Lord had commanded him.

Claim debunked. Let's see the next claim.

Since God didn't say the flood was global, that's not really an issue if you believe God.
There's more than one way to say something, you know.

The Bible doesn't have the word "Trinity" in it, either, but It is real.

He doesn't say it killed every human in the world but the 8 aboard the Ark.
Show the verse that backs that claim. Doubt you can. I can show the one that DEMOLISHES it though.

GEN 7:23
"So He wiped out every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from mankind to animals, to crawling things, and the birds of the sky, and they were wiped out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark."

Local floods and planet-wide-styled language don't fit. Learn that and it'll be easier.


MANY LOCAL FLOODS HAPPEN. ACCORDING TO EVOLUTION BELIEVERS (IMPLICATION,, NOT EXPLICITLY STATED) GOD BREAKS HIS PROMISES.

Now yeah, youll accuse me of being the one stating that God breaks His promises because of T.E.'s "Evolution Tunnel".

MEANWHILE, THERE ARE NO MORE GLOBAL FLOODS. YEC SAYS GOD KEEPS PROMISES, Th. Evo SUGGEST THAT HE BREAKS THEM.

WHICH DOES MORE DAMAGE TO CHRISTIAN FAITH, EVIL LOTION WHICH ALLEGORIZES THE INCONVIENIENT, OR YEC WHICH IS THE DEFAULT, BIBLICAL VIEW FOR THOSE NOT RAISED IN PUBLIC USA SCHOOLS??


Another claim debunked!

As you learned, evolution is observed constantly. But it's more than that. New species are evolving. Even AIG now admits the evolution of new species and genera.
Ohmygoodness, evil lotion is not speciation!!!! Youve already admitted that you THINK that "higher taxa evolve".

how is EVIL LOTION simply"ALLELES CHANGE IN POP'S" OR "SPECIATION",, when you APPLY IT to KIND and ABOVE?

Well, I'm glad you admit Noah was real and not a vague allegory that could mean any billions of things!!:rocking
Perhaps all those "observations of evolution" are actually God showing us allegories for something. How would you verify otherwise?
Hint: allegories ain't lies. In fact they arent supposed to be presented as facts at all.





Your allegorical standpoint is a STRETCH. It's not the view one would NATURALLY come to. Example, a 5 year old would think the flood was planetwide by JUST reading the Bible. I sure did. And you probably did, till the evo edited your thinking.
As you have seen, we both take each other literally because THAT IS HOW WE NORMALLY WRITE.
NO INTERPRETATION!

Things are literal UNTIL confirmed to be allegory. Apparently, you do the opposite with the Bible?



CHRISTIANS NOWADAYS HAVE BEEN ""BRAINWASHED"" BY SECULAR OUTLETS TO SWALLOW THE LOTION. EVIL LOTION.



God speaks in a way we can understand because He is trustworthy, not vague all the time.
Notice every time God used an ACTUAL ALLEGORY ,that i know of, (like He did with parables, like woman with lost coin, etc.) HE CLARIFIED THE MEANING.

"Not all of the Bible is allegory. When an allegory is presented, it is very clear that it is an allegory, and it usually comes with an explanation. When you understand that, and compare an allegory, as in the example above, to the creation narrative in Genesis, it should be obvious that the creation account is not an allegory, nor is it Hebrew poetry. Genesis records a matter-of-fact account of creation. It is a historical narrative. Now, what you do with that is up to you; you can choose to accept it, or you may choose to reject it, but you cannot call it an allegory."

Try comparing Jesus' parables with the Genesis account and spot the differences.

I understand that scholars just discovered that it wasn't Noah who did all that; it was another guy with the same name.

Perhaps all those "observations of evolution" are actually God showing us allegories for something.
It is kind of an allegory for creation, isn't it? Never thought of it that way. I just thought that evolution was the way He gave living populations the ability to adapt.

Hint: allegories ain't lies.
It's good to hear YE creationist admit it.

Your allegorical standpoint is a STRETCH. It's not the view one would NATURALLY come to. Example, a 5 year old would think the flood was planetwide by JUST reading the Bible.
I guess that's why it wasn't written for 5 year olds.
As you have seen, we both take each other literally because THAT IS HOW WE NORMALLY WRITE.
NO INTERPRETATION!
But the way that Hebrews wrote about God and His works is very different from they way modern people write on message boards. That seems obvious to me, but maybe it's not obvious to everyone.

Notice every time God used an ACTUAL ALLEGORY ,that i know of, (like He did with parables, like woman with lost coin, etc.) HE CLARIFIED THE MEANING.
No, that's wrong.
Mark 4:10 And when he was alone, the twelve that were with him asked him the parable. 11 And he said to them: To you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them that are without, all things are done in parables: 12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand: lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
