The best answer to that is what Paul says about the 'bright people'.. you know those with all the degrees and teach at the prestigious universities and are engaged in well funded productive research and doctoral training programs.
And I quote... Instead, God deliberately chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose those who are powerless to shame those who are powerful.
God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important, so that no one can ever boast in the presence of God.
i.e. The story of David. A young boy who, with a homemade sling shot, brought down the biggest and meanest foe.
I might add that the evolution theory is just that. A theory. But the 'best and brightest' put forth that it is 'truth'. You even admit it is just their most satisfactory explanation of human origins. To this day, they are still unable to prove the theory of evolution. They have tried and tried. Told everyone that this' ithicus' and that 'ithicus' were the missing links, yet it was voided as proof. Try as they may, in my estimation, they never will. But then again, I don't have a PHD.
At best, it is just another way to diss the Creator and put man in the highest position in the universe. And I find it amusing that they take the greatest pleasure thinking that their ancestors were some sort of bacteria or in this latest case a lemur.
As for all that flood water. Drip for drip, It is still here. Just in different forms... underground reservoirs (fountains of the deep), ice caps, glaciers etc. The pre-flood environment, described in the Bible, was most likely very different than today. The earth does change over the eons but it is a closed system and what was created has remained constant... atom for atom.
Al Gore getting a Peace Prize is very confirming that when you think yourself wise, you are indeed a fool.
Thank you for admitting Creation Scientists are typically not very well qualified as scientists. But I would remind you that they are the ones that call their manifestation of faith “science,” and thereby become accountable by the standards of science. I would pay them no never mind if they kept their babbling in church.
It might behoove you to understand exactly what constitutes a Theory. A Theory can be disproven by failing a valid test, science then requiring its modification or rejection, but never proven. Saying Darwinian evolution has never been proven is saying nothing more than it is a Theory.
As to your dribble about the flood and where the water might be, you might clarify your frame of reference by telling us how old you think the earth is and when the flood happened? It is hard to rebut ignorance without knowing its dimensions. If you want to argue that the age of the earth is several billion years and that Noah’s Flood occured several million years ago(before any evidence of modern man existed)then I suppose illogic will stand out on its own. If you want to deny that geologists actually know what they are doing, then there is no point in discussion.
Mind you, I have no problem with the idea that there was a real, geographically recent (meaning within the last 8,000 years), and geographically constrained, flood which is a basis for the Noah story. But Hollywood’s interpretations of Al Gore’s fantasies aside, a melting of all the remaining ice caps and glaciers will at most raise sea level 30 feet or so.
