It's as though they entertain the scientific view of the world up to the point at which it conflicts with the mythology; whereupon they pull the handle labelled "God" and instantly eject from reality. It's hard to take someone's arguments seriously when they keep having to be rescued by invoking the theistic equivalent of "a wizard did it".

This is why Deism is the only honest possibility. The unchangeableness of nature makes it the perfect medium for a "divine message" as opposed to the ignorant scribblings of mammals living 2000 years ago. The self-evident truths of nature obliterate the theists' fables based on their god's own creation i.e. the universe i.e. nature. They're shooting themselves in the foot.

Embrace your inner theist, FtR. Honestly, it won't hurt. And we Hindus have a full selection of priced-to-own gods, just ready for you to become one with.

I was arguing once with a cretinist who was using the records of ancient civilizations such as China to prove the Flood.

Apparently, according to this site Link Prior to the Flood the records of pre flood cilvilizations showed that their kings lived for hundreds of years then after the flood they didn't live so long.

The conversation died off after I asked, "Weren't those civilizations and their records wiped out in the Flood?"

BTW the whole damn site is pretty fucking funny Big Grin
