He doesn't engage because his 65 IQ would be exposed.
>>"I'm only interested in the truth.:

If you seek for the truth you won't find it, but if you seek God you will find the truth.
"If you seek for the truth you won't find it, but if you seek God you will find the truth."
I see. So I guess everything I know is wrong.
Only I exist therefore I am God. I raise my hand and ask were you there too?
yes, thank God for Mr. Hamm. I wish I had heard him when I was a child being brainwashed in the government schools. I honestly think I would have been better off missing grades 7-12 and just going to work or learning a trade. The darkside is really crafty with it's hole filled evolution taught as fact to impressionable minds. It's really sad.
Two men challenged the assumption that Manetho's king lists were consecutive and not overlapping.
Velikovsky's studies. Immanuel Velikovsky was a Russian who practiced psychoanalysis until the mid-1930s, at which time he devoted the rest of his life to unraveling ancient chronologies and time periods.
Turning to the oldest and largest ancient history book in the world, the Bible, he compared it with secular records of all kinds.
He found that, although the Bible recorded many contacts between Egypt and Israel, mid-20th century archaeologists said they could not correlate any of them with their findings. How could this be? Velikovsky wondered. He determined to find out.
He discovered that the problem centered on a gullible acceptance of Manetho's king lists, as a single, trustworthy time-span listing.
Eventually, Velikovsky wrote three major books: Ages in Chaos, 1952; Peoples of the Sea, 1977; and Ramses II and His Time, 1978, detailing his reasons.—pp. 17-18. Courville's studies. In 1956, Donovan A. Courville, a biochemist at Loma Linda University, read Ages in Chaos, and began his own research in ancient history. Fifteen years of in-depth research followed.
In the main, Courville agreed with Velikovsky's conclusions regarding the Middle Kingdom. But Courville carried the dating back further than Velikovsky had—all the way to the first dynasty,—and came upon a variety of reasons why many of Manetho's dynasties occurred simultaneously with one another.
According to Courville's findings, the "Old Kingdom" occurred at the same time as the "Middle Kingdom" rather than preceding it by 400-500 years. Courville's careful analysis reduced the length of Egypt's dynasties, and placed its first double-ruler dynasty at around 2150 B.C. This would be approximately 200-350 years after the Flood, according to whichever date one wished to set for that cataclysm. (From his studies, the present writer sets the date of the Flood at c. 2348 B.C.) In 1971, Courville wrote his monumental book, The Exodus Problem and Its Ramifications, in 1971.—pp. 18-19.
IQ of 65 would imply that he can eat stewed carrots with a bent spoon without making a mess.
You are too kind by half.
"I see. So I guess everything I know is wrong."
Not really. Not everything is wrong, but some may be.
E.g., do you believe, ie have faith in, evolution? If you do, then that is wrong. Evolution is of the devil's propagation.
**God bless those children!**
Amen to that!
The good and useful things that science can provide, don't need the theory of evolution to be good and useful.
As far as I know, there isn't a supercomputer yet, that can demonstate the incredibly awesome destruction of the great flood (such as, water currents around the world, moving megatons of aggregate faster than the SE Asian tsunami or Mt. St Helen did).
In 30 plus years of farming, I've seen local rivers flood numerous times. We had one field that had a sandy area, receive a gentle flood that placed a few inches of good black organic dirt on top of it. We thought, work that in and it will be productive like the rest of that field. The plan worked....until the next big flood came through, with sufficient velocity to bring not only tons of sand, but rocks as big as baseballs out of the channel. What a mess that was. The trees were easy to cut up and haul away, but the rocks and sand were left. The acreage was not worth the big expense to clean up. Noah's Flood, just staggering to think about.
While Mr. Ham has good questions and research, I usually ask just one to the evolutionist: "Do you have a soul, and if so, how did it evolve?" They will either answer, "No." or, "Yes, but I can't tell you how it would evolve."
Thank you, I try to learn something new everyday.
Well?
I thought it was more of a general statement rather than a pointed one. However when he said "you say" it could have been better stated "one says"
Yes. It is. Ever consider exactly how much water it would take to flood the entire earth. Assuming it was possible, were did it go after 40 days? Evaporate overnight? How large would an ark have to be to carry every species on earth...and a food supply for over a month? Did Noah train them to defecate in buckets? How was feeding and sanitary conditions handled with so many animals and so few human passengers? Given that we don't have ships able to withstand such a flood using today's technology, how did Noah build one by hand with trees?
In other words, Noah's Flood is a crock of sh#t that is less believable than the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus.
I posted this on another thread but here it is again.
Science can explain everything back to the "Big Bang".
Belief in G-D can only explain the big bang. Creating something out of nothing (the void of space) is a pretty good trick.
Yes, I do believe in evolution; it is a demonstrable fact. I also believe that descent with modification through genetic drift and selection pressure is sufficiently supported to provide a mechanism that is responsible for this fact. I do not believe I am the spawn of el Diablo.
About ten seconds of internet research would have shown you that carbon-14 dating is only done on dead things, so no, it isn't true.
Maybe you have arrived at or found the truth.
"I do not believe I am the spawn of el Diablo."
I don't think you are either, but evolution is.
