If everything has a purpose then evil doesn't exist
RE: If everything has a purpose then evil doesn't exist
Quote:welcome to the conversation. Your concerns were already addressed in post 217:
I'm not new and never actually addressed anything let alone in post 217. 


Quote:Just bear with me.

Let's say the world today experiences a pole reversal and it causes a massive global tsunami it wipes out everything, and everyone except those who had the foresight to bunker down like in the Colorado's or Norway's doomsday vault Which is essentially what the ark is (A repository of seed and I think even animal embryos.. what Noah's story does. Now lets say it takes 6000 years for humanity and the world to recover to the same point (more or less) to where the world is now. What indicators do you think would exist of us, and the flood 6000 years into our future? Would anything exist but a tale of a great flood that almost every single civilization who can be traced back to that period one way or another all have in common?
I already read your last scenario and none of this refutes my point nor bolsters yours. I have no reason to assume a worldwide flood. I have every reason to entertain the idea of this being an exaggerated story about local floods as it is a thing that actually happens. 



Quote:Again this is an example of the need for establishing what the evidence would in fact look like/Could possibly exist, BEFORE insisting/demanding that evidence can be only presented through a specific confirmation bias.
No this is an example of you making a claim and then failing to substantiate it and me having an explanation that doesn't require your claim to work. 



Quote:It is unrealistic to demand that specific evidence be provided, if none is available or could not possibly exist. which is what makes such an unreasonable demand a confirmation bias.
No, it's not unrealistic in the slightest. I have no reason to assume or explain and every reason to entertain mine. 




Quote:Meaning with in the frame work of a great global flood nothing could have survived but exactly what we have now. 700+ civilization who can trace themselves back to the point where these stories were told and they all share the common key points of this story.
A framework I have no reason to accept as opposed to the explanation I just gave... Dodgy


So no you didn't really address anything at all  Dodgy
