Abiogenesis is impossible

[Esquilax]

If the flood was restricted to a relatively small area wouldn't that make the entire point of the story pointless?

it was a universal flood in respect to humanity, not physical location. the bipedal primates originating out-of-Africa, Europe, Asia are not included since they weren't capable of moral derogations.

So basically, it was a "universal flood,"- I think you mean worldwide, there- just so long as you define that to not mean the world or the universe, but rather the world as it pertains to human beings (bit inexcusably anthropocentric, don't you think?), oh, but only if you define human beings as that set of humans that were around the location of the flood.

Are you... are you fucking kidding me? How many more caveats do you need, the footnotes are longer than the goddamn claim!

Not to mention, circular logic is still circular even if you add another step in: the flood was worldwide if you define the world as that part of it where humans were, and it was worldwide to humans so long as you define humans as only those that were around where the flood was, which was worldwide if you're defining the world in terms of the humans within it, but you have to only count...

Fuck off with that. Not only is your argument completely circular, it also asks us to accept definitions that are the opposite of what the words mean, and why? Just because it's convenient to your argument?

You're gonna have to do better than that.
