Fish puns. To pass the time when the Docs were all tide up.

Because a bunch of loons aren't constantly telling them how gravity is contrary to the teachings of God . . . Why is that? I mean, both the theory of gravity and the theory of evolution are equally valid from a scientific point of view. Why does one spawn more "loons" than the other?
To: js1138
Someone to shovel all the stuff. All you really need to know is that creationist geologists looked in zealous earnest for the residue of a world-wide flood for most of the 18th century and into the 19th. The last one of any prominence punted in 1831.

It does seem odd that evolution, as opposed to other notions, has lately been singled out for special treatment by legislatures. Why is that? Because no other scientific theory has stirred up such a public controversy.
Why isn't the general public clamoring against teaching the theory of gravity as "just a theory?"
Because it doesn't obviously contradict a literal reading of biblical text, IMO.

BTW, if Elvis were alive, he'd be dead by now. Not necessarily, though he would be 71 -- a creakin' hunk of smoldering love...

Well, it is a large task, to be sure. The deepest hole ever drilled into the earth revealed much more water than was expected. I don't think science wil ever know exactly how much water exists on this planet. It is especially difficult because it takes different forms, including the part that makes up c. 60% of every human body.

Well there is a cheerleader who castigates me regularly. I'm sure she'll be along soon Two four six eight
Who do evos castigate?
Zeeba. Zeeba.
Yeeeeeaaaaaa Zeeba.

So, about that Utah ruling... Anyway
All those people would have been dead by now anyway, wouldn't they? So who are you to judge God?
Fascinating. As long as they're dead, who cares how they died? You are evil. The Khmer Rouge just called, they want their justification back.
Is God not free to do with his creation as he pleases? Or must he run everything by you first?
And to think, he was so pleased with his experiment back in Genesis only to destroy it all later in the flood. Fickle Guy, this God. FWIW, I'd love for him to run things by me first. Honestly that would be aweome. I'm a much better guy than Jim Jones and David Koresh.
BTW do you Fear the Lord?
Loving and worshipping a deity you fear strikes me as a bit odd. I don't fear my wife or son and I love them both dearly. For a deity to be so petty and trite as to instill fear in his believers is enough for me to wash my hands of the whole fairy tale.

To: From many - one.
A Mathematician, a Biologist and a Physicist are sitting in a street cafe watching people going in and coming out of the house on the other side of the street.
First they see two people going into the house. Time passes. After a while they notice three persons coming out of the house.
The Physicist says: "The initial measurement wasn't accurate."
The Biologist concludes: "They have reproduced."
The Mathematician says: "Now if another person enters the house, it'll be empty again."

Looking good, but it somehow is just not the same

What did you use as a starting figure for the earth's water? I assumed the same as now. Then I calculated the volume change to float the ark to 13,000 feet about current sea level.
Did you take into account the water found several miles below the earth's surface?
The Oglala Aquifer is neither that big nor that low. But say such a body of water existed. Where is it now? What occupied the volume when the water was up here? If the answer is "nothing," why didn't the huge empty space collapse?
Do you know where all the earth's water is?
I've often been swimming in it.
Do you know with much exactitude what were the physical characteristics of the earth's surface several thousand years ago?
I know with exactitude there's no evidence it was ever all underwater.
Did you start your calculations while holding the belief that all accounts of a world-wide deluge are false?
Absolutely. Can't help being educated and capable of critical thought. Knew the claim was stupid. Just wanted to put some numbers on "stupid."

Because, as whattajoke pointed out, there's no money in it. What does the Bible say about gravity anyway?

To: P-Marlowe
You seem to be serious about the global flood. Well, Jesus was. Who am I to argue with the Lord?
So you are saying that there is no allegory, or parable, involved?
Are you saying that there is no mistake whatsoever?
How do reconcile the vast differences between the biblical accounts and the archaeological/geological record?
