It's Dogged as Does It [Darwin in the Galápagos]

"I don't believe the Bible says that the flood waters got sucked up by the mouth of God. What version is that in?"

Well, what are the other options are there to get rid of trillions of cubic meters of water?

[mlc9852]

There have been floods for eons, right? What happened to that water?

"There have been floods for eons, right? What happened to that water?"

Those are local events and amount in a shift of existing water from one point to another. For example, in New Orleans, water evaporated from the ocean and fell as rain; additionally, a swell of water moved from the ocean to the land; both instances resulted in the shifting of existing water.

A world wide flood requires the appearance and disappearance of enormous quantities of water.

[mlc9852]

The oceans are pretty big.

[ndt]

"The oceans are pretty big.

Yes they are. However if the oceans where not subject to a rising water level along with the land, then gravity would have prevented flooding of anything by low lying areas without drainage. If the level of water on land were 100 feet above sea level, then it would just flow out to sea, leaving you with localized flooding and a lot of mud, not a world wide inundation.

"But he repented on his death bed."

So I hear too.

Darwin, according to his daughter/son, repented and asked forgiveness foe his frauds perpetrated on humanity.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"Darwin, according to his daughter/son, repented and asked forgiveness foe his frauds perpetrated on humanity."

Actually, according to his children, the *conversion* was a crock of S%%^. The *Lady Hope* myth is a creationist lie.

[TheBrotherhood]

"He had nothing to repent for."

But he (Darwin) did repent. It's an historical fact.

He admitted that his so-called theory was a fake, fraud and phony theory.

[whattajoke]

And now that you've read the rest of the thread, you're ready to recant the lie you've stated. Right?

And, as a thought exercise, let's pretend Darwin actually did "repent" (for what, I don't know) on his so-called deathbed. I ask you, so what? How would that change anything at all?

[CarolinaGuitarman]

"But he (Darwin) did repent. It's an historical fact."

No he didn't. His daughter and wide would have loved for this to have been true, as they were devout Christians, but they said it was a bunch of crap.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

That should read daughter and wife.

[TheBrotherhood]

"The *Lady Hope* myth is a creationist lie."

No, the Lady Hope myth is an evolutionist lie.

Lady Hope was a witness, and was NOT a myth, to his recanting of the pseudo evolution theory.

[whattajoke]

TheBrotherhood's apology forthcoming.

All anti-science folks are always oh-so quick to apologize.

/wishful thinking

[CarolinaGuitarman]

" Lady Hope was a witness, and was NOT a myth, to his recanting of the pseudo evolution theory."

Why did his daughter and son say it never happened? Why did Darwin not tell his wife he converted, when she would have loved to have had this been so?

[CarolinaGuitarman]

He's drunk on the Koolaid.

[Dimensio]

Darwin, according to his daughter/son, repented and asked forgiveness foe his frauds perpetrated on humanity.

Where did you hear this twaddle?

[TheBrotherhood]

"And, as a thought exercise, let's pretend Darwin actually did "repent" (for what, I don't know) on his so-called deathbed. I ask you, so what? How would that change anything at all?"

I doesn't change anything at all - it's still a fraudulent theory today as it was in the past, and will continue to be a phony story into the future.

[CarolinaGuitarman]

Yes, the "Lady Hope" conversion story is a hoax and a fraud.

[Dimensio]

Still waiting for you to explain why Darwin's close family denied Lady Hope's story. Not that you will. You also won't explain how evolution is a "fraudulent theory".

[PatrickHenry]

It is also an historical fact that Darwin shot Lincoln. Later on he kidnapped the Lindbergh baby.
