Well, I'm new here, and I hope that I'm not breaking any rule, written down or not, by having my first thread be a poll.
 
Welcome...

Why don't you tell us what you voted for and why....
 
Wow put on the spot for views right away. :P

I should have defined thing better on the poll, but oh well. I do not deny that a flood ever happened in that region, and I have issues with what is written down in the bible. I also know that, unless there was a massive cover job, the flood was not global.
 
If the Flood wasn't global, then why didn't Noah just move? That's a lot of trouble to go through, building an ark that size, working for decadeds for just a local flood...

That's the thing mhess...if it wasn't global, there wouldn't be a need to work for decades to build an ark that size, with every single animal in the world on board.

It would be a localized flood, on a regular boat, with some animals, and a guys family.

Then, fact becomes legend, and legend becomes myth...voila, you have a blown out of proportion story about a man and his family who, for decades built this boat in preparation for a worldwide flood that destroys the entire Earth.

Indeed you were put on the spot. Sheseala, I'm glad to meet you. 8-) I believe it was global, because even the ancient Babylonians have a similar flood account. Plus, I take the Bible as fact, but the evolutionists here should already know that.
 
Shifting the topic a bit...

So, if it was a global flood, where did all the water come from?
 
DIDN'T YOU KNOW!? God magically created the water... :roll:

Mostly from subtereanean water chambers, a little bit from the vapour/ice canopy
 
Wouldn't subterranean chambers have to be under huge amounts of pressure?

Wouldn't water from a vapour canopy heat the air up a bit much when it condensed? Wouldn't it have to be fairly hot to stay up there?

I'm not sure exactly how ice would stay up there, what layer of the atmosphere would it be in?
 
Well actually, if you think about it the earth had been around at least 1000 years before the flood, and according to the Bible that was the first time it rained. If it hadn't rained for over 1000 years that's quite a lot of time to evaporate water. That's one way the so much water was able to rain.
 
But the atmosphere holds only so much, there is a balance.

Not if God's holding the vapor in suspense. It would not be the first time God froze a part of nature.

JOS 10:12 Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.
JOS 10:13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. [KJV]

What'd I tell you? God and his magical powers are at it again!
 
Not magical but yes. Keebs, The Bible is not the only place that sources to the sun standing still.

Which, not at all surprising, you ignored.
 
So I'm supposed to believe the bible because it references another book about the same God? Oooh...
 
Why am I not surprised Keebs. Why is it when we Christians give a point all you evolutionists can do is say, " And I'm supposed to believe the Bible." Look, when Jesus returns, all your skepticisms will be no more. God's Blessings. 8-)

I dont' see any passage which says "it did not rain before the flood"...Brutus, there is a holding point in which the atmosphere can only hold so much water before it rains. You're saying that evaporation occured as well as this vapor canopy...
 
Tua, you are correct in saying there is no particular passage that states it had never rained before, just as there is no passage that says it did. As for the extreme evaporation, as I pointed out to my good friend keebs, it would not be the first time God had altered nature for His Glory.
