>>I have no doubt that God told Moses of His Creations in terms that not just Moses, but also Moses’ contempories from Egypt to Mesopotamia, would understand. Anything else would be considered obvious lies and so be rejected by the ancients. What’s remarkable to me is how closely the Bible corresponds to not just spiritual but also natural history.”
The flood stories are found in virtually every culture, implying the descendants of Noah passed on the flood story to their offspring, who then populated every culture of the world, as God commanded. These mention the Hawaiian, Western Australian, and Alaskan flood stories:
“Hawaiians have a flood story that tells of a time when, long after the death of the first man, the world became a wicked, terrible place. Only one good man was left, and his name was Nu-u. He made a great canoe with a house on it and filled it with animals. In this story, the waters came up over all the earth and killed all the people; only Nu-u and his family were saved.” [Monty White, Flood Legends]
“Western Australia: Gajara and his family survived a worldwide flood on a raft. He then sent birds to see if the waters had receded. Pleased by the smell of cooking kangaroo, the god Ngadja placed a rainbow in the sky to stop the rain clouds.” [Creation Museum, Worldwide Flood Legends]
“Alaska: The summary of the tradition of Eskimo in Orowingnarak, Alaska is: ‘A great inundation, together with an earthquake, swept the land so rapidly that only a few people escaped in their skin canoes to tops of the highest mountains.’” [Flood Traditions Around The World]
Pretty neat, huh?

>>[My claim there are no observable facts supporting evolutionism] is a flat-out lie which discredits both you and the faith you claim to support.
You lie when you claim my statement is a lie. The only way you can redeem yourself is to present observable facts supporting evolutionism. You know you cannot.

What are you claiming this time?

>>There is evidence in fossils and DNA, but of course, only for those willing to see it.
If there was evidence of common descent in the fossil record, or in DNA, you would be splattering it all over this thread. You know you cannot, and sanctimonious belligerence is not evidence.
Mr. Kalamata
Kalamata:
"You lie when you claim my statement is a lie." You lie when you claim my statement is a lie.
You lie when you claim my statement is a lie.
Kalamata: "The only way you can redeem yourself is to present observable facts supporting evolutionism.
You know you cannot."
More lies, and for those no "redemption".
The truth is, you don't need me to present anything, because you can find evidence in any natural history museum, but you'd refuse to see it even there.
So my presenting yet more will have no effect on you.
You have blinded yourself.
Kalamata: "If there was evidence of common descent in the fossil record, or in DNA, you would be splattering it all over this thread.
You know you cannot, and sanctimonious belligerence is not evidence."
"Sanctimonious belligerence" is your specialty, pal, not mine.
Such evidence is splattered all over this thread, you simply refuse to see it, here or anywhere else. ![]()
