Quote:You are not arguing against the current Creation model, so this is really just a straw man. It’s kind of like the old, “if evolution were true, then why are there still apes?” argument. The deepest oceanic trenches and highest mountains are all a result of catastrophic plate tectonics during the flood period. So the water did not have to be above Mt. Everest at all. In fact, if you raise the oceanic trenches and lower the highest mountain ranges there is more than enough water to cover the earth. The raising of these mountain ranges would then cause the waters to recede back to the Ocean.
The current Creation model based on what exactly? A 3000 year old story? Excuse me if I prefer the science based explanations of nature.
Quote:I think that is a bit harsh. I have not insulted your or demeaned your ability to think throughout our discussions, so why do that to me? We may have different views on these matters but we can still have a civil discussion can’t we?
You're on an atheist forum, asserting creationism, occasionally there'll be a joke at your expense. Get over it. You're well able to think, and well at that, I'm just a bit bemused you don't subject christianity to this critical thought and simply take it on faith. It's not really fitting for someone of your intellect.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.
