As usual, theists can’t agree on their claims. Christians, in particular, can’t agree on the events in their bible.
The magic flood is one of them. Jonathan is quite sure the bible flood is literal, and yet:
Curious how christians themselves can’t agree on when, where, how and if the magic flood happened. That’s what occurs when you have no evidence for your claims.
” We should be skeptical—especially about claims concerning the distant past, which no one alive today can directly observe.”
why yes we should, and surprise, that means that the claims of theists of magic that happened in the past are up for analysis. Curious how they have no evidence at all for their imaginary friends.
If there was a world-wide, 28,000+ foot deep flood as described in the bible, there would be one massive layer at the appropriate time, a time that christians can’t agree on. We see no such thing.
In this layer would be everything that was torn up, and it would be sorted by hydraulic characteristics. We don’t see that either. What we do see is that fossils are arranged by complexity, just like evolutionary theory predicts.
Curoius how reality rejects the lies of theism, when we see layers of salts, which the magic flood can’t make.
No need to trust the baseless claims of a cult.
as for “shifting opinions”, funny how chistianity has splintered constantly for 2000+ years, and not one self-professed christian can do what their jesus promised. It seems that all christians have are “shifting opinions of man”.

Talking about magic: a Christian friend claimed she saw demonic action. Well, no one I’ve ever heard or spoken with has actually DONE these magic (demonic) tricks. You have to give up sound reasoning to believe this stuff.

The Flud. I am somewhat certain this myth arose, thousands of years ago, by the seeking of an explanation, by people not that far out from the stone age… for finding obvious sea fossils in places no one would expect them to be. Sort of makes sense, until one learns about plate tectonics, and the abundance of other stupid shit in their magic books.

Funny how “god”, I mean, Jesus, wasn’t aware of this. Didn’t know that the moon isn’t itself luminous, didn’t know that the stars can’t fall from the sky as he had predicted. And many other things. One would think that if he were truly always in existence, with the father while he was throwing this stuff together, he’d know a thing or two. Hmmmm. Go figure.

yep, curious how jesus just repeats human ignorance. And if this god/man is omniscient, he would know that his garbage would be found out at some point, and make his magic book look ridiculous.

Yep, that with the fact that most civilizations arose around rivers and a flood was a known disaster that could be incorporated with the “why do bad things happen” myths.
