Theists: Why do you love God?

Everything is the key word there. So obviously, you can put every single species on the ark.

oh does it say species? from what i've read it said kind lets look at this passage
bible Wrote:19 And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every sort into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. 20 Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive.

i'm sorry was i wrong to say kind? there are 2 of every kind of animal, not 2 of every species. there are many different kinds of dogs and wolves too though i'm sure he only brought 2 dogs on board not 2 of every type of dog.

So wait...are you suggesting that God meant it to mean one thing, but us humans mistook it for something else?

yes, people can make mistakes in inturpriting God's word. why do you think there are so many denominations of christianity all with different beliefs? this does not take away from God's word, only takes away from many human's credibility to interpret it.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

So where did all the various breeds of these animals come from then, genius? If you believe the Bible is literally true, I'm guessing you deny the fact of evolution (not that it could have taken place in the supposed timescale since the flood). So whence came dalmatians, dobermans and daschunds? How indeed did all the diverse species that exist on the planet come to be if they were not each and every one taken aboard? Whence came lions, tigers, cheetahs and pumas? Clydesdales, arabs, shires? Grizzlies, black bears and polars (and how would a polar bear have even got on the thing in the first place?)?

This is a mind numbing level of stupidity you are showing. The very idea of this story being true is so preposterous, that literally only a lunatic or a complete idiot could believe it.

They love god like they love themselves.

The stupid looking dog factory?

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

If you -truly- loved someone or something you wouldn't allow trivial things such as ridicule to upset you. Always be ready to defend your position and faith.


Quote:do not expect me to answer any more of your questions, seems like you would of appreciated that at least one person answered your question. I guess that makes me the fool.
I will give you credit. You gave rubbish reasons for loving your deity but you at least attempted to answer the question. Frodo knows he has no legitimate answers so he's playing mind games (as usual) whereas chipan thinks we're talking about dog breeding.

No shit? You can do that just like they did in the old day?!?

- Genesis tells us that Jacob was able to breed striped goats by breeding them in a striped environment. He did this because Laban had promised him that any such goats would be Jacob's. This is Genesis 30:37-39:

Quote:Then Jacob took fresh sticks of poplar and almond and plane trees, and peeled white streaks in them, exposing the white of the sticks. He set the sticks that he had peeled in front of the flocks in the troughs, that is, the watering places, where the flocks came to drink. And since they bred when they came to drink, the flocks bred in front of the sticks and so the flocks brought forth striped, speckled, and spotted. (ESV)

LMFAO...magical biology!

VOILA! A Stripe-ed Goat
