Man is Evil

[Deavonreye]

LOL! Yet people who claim that the flood never happened always deny the mountaintop marine fossil evidence. Now you want to explain it. That's good.

Marine fossils are on mountain tops because of techtonic plate movement that pushes mountain ranges upwards at one part of the oceanic ridge while it pulls ocean floor below at the other. Those "fossils", usually shells, WERE at the bottom of the ocean at one time. No mystery here.

Along with this, there are places above sea level that had been raised up to that level [due to this same force acting below our feet] and they include the ancient remanent of coral reefs.

This is all layman's answers. Feel free to research the topic yourself in actual scientific journals.

That's nice.

try to keep this from getting into a major science debate.

It is true for me in many such discussions as these that they do. I am glad to know that you say that some don't.

I try to take reality for what it is. People find fossils on mountains. To deny they are there would be delusional.

You seem like a good christian. When did this I hate science the world is 6000 years old thing start?

The U.S. started a tradition of knowledge and science that won wars and created prosperity. We went to the moon and cured polio.

Now science is a lie of the devil.

What's up with that?

 

[Deavonreye]

That's nice.

I updated my post.

Anyway, yes, this topic is getting too much into science and maybe this part could be made it's own thread in the science section, mods?

i dont think alabaster has access, besides there are some older flood threads that could be reopened.

What is required for access?

go to the science forum and click request acess and pm me or free when you do so that we know you have done this.

I LOVE science! It is the opening up of the mind of God, bit by incredible bit!

I want to make sure you are aware that all the hard sciences such as physics, chemistry, biology, and geology agree that the earth is billions of years old and not 6,000.

What is your opinion of that?

I believe that the Earth is extremely old, but as of Genesis 1, this creation is only 6000 years old. The planet was already there, languishing for millennia.

I remember this coming up in 9th grade. Teacher asked us to raise our hand if:

1. You believe mankind is basically good

2. You believe mankind is inherently evil.

I said man was basically good. Silly youth.
There is none good, no not one.

What about the story of the flood 4,000 years ago? Or the Tower of Babel after that?

Science finds those things couldn't have happened. What is your opinion on those?

There are people that are much more "good" than they are "evil". Sure, there are some very nasty people in the world. Just watch Gangland on The History Channel. But nothing in existence is "perfect", . . . even if we somehow could know what that would look like.

Who's standard of good are you using?

If I spit in a 2 litre bottle of your favorite drink is it still worth drinking? Does the good outweigh the bad?

So a little bit of evil contaminates a world of good.

If a housewife watched the young children of her neighbors for free because they are struggling and she is home with her baby anyhow does that make her more evil than good?

If a housewife watches someone elses kids free of charge, then no that does not make her evil. I'm failing to see your point.

If Charles manson fed all of his "family" and kept them in favorable quality of life, is he more good or evil?

Adam is known for eating the forbidden fruit. By this ONE act all of humanity is condemned to die except the propitiation by the second Adam.

If Adam's only offense was eating a fruit, how much more abundantly wicked is the housewife? The scriptures have concluded all under sin that none is good.



If I killed your mother, and 10 20 30 years go by and since then I have not broken one law, or offended a single person EVER and I give to charity and volunteer and transformed into an all around "good guy" perfectly blameless in every way and do all manner of good works every single day of my life and forensic science catches up to me, you gonna let me go? Is the judge?

one stain ruins the finest of linen. One blot on our record tarnishes all of our "good" doings.

It's possible that one may not be "evil" but they certainly are not GOOD. Just something in the middle.

I can use my own judgement on most topics.

I don't drink anything from 2 litre bottles.
