That really is not very convincing to me, and I’m sure it’s not to many other Christians as well. Either there was a literal global Flood 4000-some years ago or there was not. You say there was not. Many other Christians say there was. Since the two options are mutually exclusive, that means one or the other of you must be wrong. You think that you are right (otherwise hopefully you would change your opinion, there doesn’t seem to be a good reason for embracing an opinion one knows is wrong. . .), that means you must think that the others are wrong. This isn’t some squishy “believe whatever you think is prettiest” thing, it’s a historical event that either did happen or did not.
Read again my post number 657 or if you prefer, my expanded post on another thread.
The Law of the Excluded Middle does not apply to the Creator.
Examples include Predestination v. Free Will, Earthy Messiah v. Eternal/Transcendent Messiah, God is One v. God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, God's revelation in Scripture v. God's revelation in the Creation.
I find it strange that men continue to do this even knowing that the Law of the Excluded Middle isn't universal in a physical sense either, e.g. wave/particle duality, speed of light physical limitation v. non-locality at distance.
It certainly isn't applicable to God, i.e. the Trinity, and therefore, the Christian himself:
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. - Romans 8:9
For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. - Colossians 3:3
