If everything has a purpose then evil doesn't exist

There wouldnt be any fossils anywhere if we'd ever suffered a planetkilling pressure bomb. Moot point ofc, since it never happened. If all the water on earth melted it would limp it's way up about 200 feet and change. Those whales must have climbed the rest of the way.

Every new avenue is somehow more wrong and  more bizarre than the last.  Every attempt to make it less supernatural leads to an even more miraculous set of circumstances which have to be rationalized away by yet another avenue.  So on and so forth, in perpetuity.

This growing list of nonsense that you believe in is simply untrue, R.  Worse, none of it -needs- to be true for a god to exist.  Each batshit claim is an extra burden you place on god.

This kind of stuff is why no one believes in god anymore.  Well done.

Is this how things work around here? involve yourself in a discussion until you get bored....'

It's how things work everywhere on the internet. Discussion fizzles out when enough people get bored of it.

You trust Joe Rogan?!? I knew you were a credulous fuck-tard, but holy fucking crispy christ...

so no takers? No one wants to discuss the geological evidence provided on this pod cast?

Why don't you go to a geology forum and discuss it with geolotists?

[The Architect Of Fate]

did Noah know that plants breathed? did God send any plants to Noah one male one female? Did god have plants march onto the ark? As breathing was only one requirement of getting on the ark.

It's also a requirement for surviving a devasting global flood. All that pretzel logic to explain how the animals survived, but you're still left with 'God magicked it that way' to explain the survival of the land plants.

Wait so god didn't tell Noah that plants breathed? God not telling plants to march to the ark doesn't account for plants.

Because his geologists is a hack who pushes loony fringe theories. Which is why he has to resort to appearing on flipping podcasts.

This is how seriously the afflicted take their own superstitions. Why would they expect anyone else to take them any more seriously? There's an opportunity...even here on these boards, for religious growth - but I guess that's not what they come here for. They want to tell us about their dead, dead religion of big boats and small gods.

common man... Seriously? Do you not know how SEEDS work? whether stored away on the ark or left out in the wild, once the water receded that would have simply germinated. 

Also you do get that God is actually the one making all of this work right? The Flood narrative is not meant to be received as a logistical tale of how one man and his family saved the world from an angry God, but rather how god used one man's faith to save the world and all the living creatures in it from an evil this world has not seen since.

Some things (not necessarily this in particular) just need to be left to God. As with all things there is alway a balance to be found

[no one]

Wow, you are dumb, farmboy.

There wasn't any flood!

[The Architect Of Fate]

Holy hell just when you think this can't get any sillier. R deploys the gem of lunacy.

I guess we can add weird shit about seeds to the growing list of things it takes to maintain your faith in the god of the chicken shed?

I do, though, get that god is supposed to be making this all work in the story. From the storm, to the boat, to the animals, to the regeneration of earth. You, otoh, keep arguing that nothing particularly godly is going on. It's just a dude, some birds, a few cows, and seeds doing What Seed Do.

I told you we'd get here eventually, where you decide that all of your own previous statements were fucking ridiculous, but can't stand the perceived humiliation of taking them back. Fuck it, here's another shot. It's all magic, all the way down, isn't it? OFC none of it is explicable...because it's magic. OFC you don't base your beliefs on archeology or geology or biology or meteorology or engineering - because none of those things are magic. OFC it doesn't concern you that those things all suggest the flood story is fiction - because what can be done by magic can be done by magic in a way that looks like it isn't - likely through further magic.

Your god is up there in his wizard hat and his wizard robe, flooding the world and shit....and it bothers you that we won't take it seriously, even though you don't either.
