• Noah’s Biblical Flood Actually Happened, Says Famed Archeologist Who Found the Titanic

  December 11, 2012 at 10:25pm

  I agree that there was a big flood a long time ago, but the Bible talks about a global flood, not a localized one in the Black Sea. It’s the only explanation for so many things that we now know about our earth and can observe. Fossils by the bazillions are a good starting point. When a fleshy animal dies, what happens to it? Other animals and bacteria eat it and its bones get scattered. If it’s buried under hundreds of feet of mud, it will be preserved. Look at the mountains of sedimentary rock all over the world. You can go out and see poli-strata tree fossils going through many layers of rock. They didn’t stand for millions of years getting slowly buried, they were ripped up and sunk in a flood. There are hundreds of global flood legends from around the world, most of which revolve around some version of the name Noah. The water didn’t come from just 40 days of rain. We get that up here in the Pacific Northwest. The Bible talks about a canopy of water, probably in one of the upper layers of the atmosphere, which must have fallen and that the fountains of the deep broke open. This leaves the question, “where did all the water go?” It’s still here. It’s filling in the oceans. The earth’s crust below the oceans is many miles thinner than under the continents. After the water came up on top, the ocean bottoms dropped down and the waters asswaged. A good animation and explanation of what this must have been like can be found here: http://www.creations

• Evolution or Creationism? Find Out Where Protestant Pastors Stand

  In reply to Chisum.

  Because in 1611 when the King James Version was translated, ‘replenish’ simply meant: to fill. Over the years the meaning has been changed to include the meaning: to fill again.

• Evolution or Creationism? Find Out Where Protestant Pastors Stand

  I used to believe in evolution, and then I really looked at the evidence. The earth can’t be billions of years old. The salinity content of the oceans is gradually increasing. If the earth were really billions of years old, wouldn’t it be more than 3.6%? The moon is slowly getting farther away from earth. Go back a few thousand years and it’s not a problem, but go back a few billion years and now it’s whizzing right over the surface of the earth. The earth is slowly slowing down. Go back a few thousand years and it’s not that much faster. Go back a few billion years and now you’ve got a problem. The sun is burning fuel and shrinking. Not much, but a few feet per year or so. Go back a few thousand years and it’s no big deal. Go back a few billion years and that thing would really be huge! How much stronger would the gravitational pull be? Venus, Mercury and probably us too would have been swallowed up. If the earth is billions of years old, why hasn’t Niagara Falls eroded all the way back to Lake Erie? Why hasn’t the Mississippi River delta filled in the Gulf of Mexico by now? If there really wasn’t a global flood about 4400 years ago, why are the oldest tree, the largest desert and the largest coral reef all between 4100 and 4300 years old? If coal seams are from millions of years ago, why were human artifacts found embedded in them? I think the evidence points to 6000 years ago God made everything and 4400 years ago there was a big flood. Just m

• History Channel to Debut History of Mankind Mini-Series Starting With…the Big Bang

  In reply to VitW.

  Yes, very well said. The big bang was impossible. If all the matter in the universe were contained in a tiny dot which spun faster and faster until it exploded, the matter would all travel and expand at an equal rate, constantly getting farther and farther apart. In the vacuum of space there would be nothing to slow it down or cause it to change direction, enabling the bits of matter to come together to form all the celestial bodies out there. Also there is the law of conservation of angular momentum. If this little dot were spinning and then exploded, everything that came out of it would spin the same direction. Why then are planets and whole galaxies spinning in different directions? There are too many things that depend on too many other things in order to be for all of this to be random chance. Based on everything that I’ve seen, experienced and read, the Bible is not in contradiction to science, it reinforces true science.

• Poetic Justice or Assault? Woman Gropes TSA Agent in Phoenix

  In reply to An AmericanMom.

  Some very good, witty comments here. Maybe this logic is a bit over the top, but I’m thinking about the fact that Switzerland has the lowest crime rate in the world. Of course this will only work with domestic flights, as other countries have very more restrictive laws on firearms. What if we get rid of the TSA as well as many other security measures and start encouraging citizens to start exercising their 2nd Amendment rights to start carrying. How many people would be willing to try to hijack an airplane if the knew that there was a pretty good chance that a fairly large percentage of passengers on board were carrying? Yes, I know that a stray bullet could easily penetrate the fuselage, but would YOU try to take over an aircraft possibly filled with armed passengers? Just a thought. Go ahead and flame me.
