Evolution/creation 2

[Tobie]

Another thing that came to me these lines Drich, why do you feel the need to reconcile your creation narrative with the fossil record but not the geological record? The two are pretty well tied at the hip. Why is genesis "otherwise irreconcilable" -your opinion, not mine, in the case of the fossil record but not in the case of the deluge and the geological record? Shouldn't you be coming up with some creative extra-biblical "explanation" for the flood narrative as well? Matter of fact, since we're doing this, there's quite a bit of your narrative that you may want to re-write.....

We already argued this point in the Noah's ark thread, and in one more besides that one. World wide flood=Known world, not nessarily global or planetary. how many times do we have to beat this horse?

you guys freaked out about The "circle of the earth" being anything more than a 2Dimensional repersentation of the planet, now you freak out because the Hebrew word for 'world' what you want it to..

Besides that How would we know if there was a planetary flood? what that evidence would look like? what would we have to compare it to? after all, floods push water onto dry land. There was no dry land, and if this were on a planetary scale then where would the up rooted sediments and debris go? sure the low lying areas would have some evidence, and they do (discovery channel documentry on a massive flood in that region) but as far as every were else? The people who claim there couldn't have been a global flood because there isn't any sedimentary evidence on a planet wide scale clearly have not thought it through. In that why would their be an influx of displaced sediment if their wasn't an inrush of water? (Read the genesis account if you do not know what I am referencing)

The world known to some bronze age twat with a boat would be very small, so the flood wouldn't kill everyone, unless you've discovered that everyone alive about 5,000 years ago lived in modern Georgia. So how about you reconsider that point?
