Did the flood really occur?

In other words, you found evidence that floods occur, which is of course not in dispute. Evidence for the biblical flood, global, the giant boat, the rest of the fairy tale?

Also, why, and please tell me you actually thought about this, do you think that a supernatural explanation for a flood deserves consideration when the causes of floods are understood in great detail and do not require divine intervention?

I sent you a great link detailing evidence based objections to a global flood, the entire narrative in fact. You didn't address any of them. You've simply responded here with "I believe.". I have to say that this is the most disappointing thing I've yet experienced on this forum. I think you should have taken more time on this. Perhaps you'd like to take another crack at it? What you've presented here is not an educated response, nor is it anything even approaching what I would consider the kind of research that any adult should be capable of. Why did you even research the subject if you were going to defer instead, completely, to the narrative in dispute?

To summarize......WTF Salty?

Wow...Rythm. This couldn't be the most disappointing thing you have experienced, there have been plenty of people before me that don't meet your standards.

Let's clear some things up: I thought you were giving me that link to look over what people were concerned about, but I thought I established in our second run with this that I would answer the question with some archeology. The question was "Did the flood occur?" I answered the general question, are you trying to tell me that I need to focus my research on the 11 topics that were presented from the link?

I believe you're well aware that I am not scientifically minded, that I am not going to use my personal time and life energy to look at wind patterns and the probability of the water vaporizing concerning the flood, there are apologetic websites about these subjects! You can read up on all of that for yourself!

I thought the main reason for me to answer the question was so that you could see me evaluate evidence (or lack of it) and learn my opinion on what I've read. I thought it was so that you could see me think for myself and yes, I still trust God, and yes I am still expressing my thoughts the way that I do it. I didn't think that you actually wanted me to present a CASE, I'm not Lee Strobel!

Concerning my research. I am addressing creationism, evolution, the trinity and theories on the age of the world, but I don't have the time on my hands to write a book on any of these subjects! I barely have time to get on this forum anymore. Really, I don't know what you do in your spare time, but I have a life, I have a husband, I have a job, I have a family, I have a church, I have responsibilities, therefore the research that I "fit in" for you (and El Dinero), no matter how upsetting (or disappointing), shows my devotion to speaking for myself, thinking for myself to answering people I have no obligation to answer. You didn't specifically ask me a question that you were not sure of, that you were debating, you and El Dinero presented the fact that I expressed an interest to learn and you were checking to see if I would follow through with my interest. This is what I'm doing!

Whatever the case, just know that I have other things going on and I "make time" for you and everyone here because I care. And... you know what...I really don't need to take an earful from you, like this...
I have to get off. I have to get back to my job. Sorry I can't read everyone's responses, but I'll be back to answer.
