"Evolution isn't science"

300 days are not 319 days.

Ok so this is what I read...Now Noah was 600 years old when the flood of water came upon the earth...and on the 27th day of the second month the earth was dry. I know I am missing your point pleas help me.
 
The difference in his stated age from the start to the end of the flood leads to a total number of days that is different than that implied by considering the number of days that are given for the various aspects of the flood.

The Bible, in short, gets its dates wrong. It contradicts itself. It is a contradiction.
 
Restate your position here and you'll get plenty of responses.

OK my position is that the Bible is litteral and true, and that evolution should not be taught in public schools as fact and backed up with lies. I am willing to discuss this with anyone who has intelligent questions and I do not call people names and expect the same out of others, that gets us no where. I think it is possible to discuss without arguing and realize that I will probably change no minds but just like to have both sides represented fairly. Thanks.

ok so I get that the Bible says Noah was 600 when the flood started but am not seeing his age when they left the ark. I think that is part of my problem

I think we've pretty much blown a big hole in that notion.

It is ironic given the first part of your position that you would strangely assert earlier that neither Christianity nor evolution should be taught in public school.

If the Bible is literal and true and the duty of public school is to teach true things why is it a problem?

So, what lies back-up evolution then?

If your first assertion is true then you will change minds. It is clearly not though.
 
The waters flooded the earth for 150 days(5 months of 30 days each)(Is this our problem?)

What's leaving the ark got to do with anything?

Are you now going to weasel out of this by claiming the length of the flood is in fact the length of time from when Noah got on and off the ark? Oh I bet you do.

I agree that the Bible is Fact but without scientific evidence I don't think it should be taught in public schools as the only truth like evolution is now. Why is that a problem?

Well it's a problem for you as, despite your assertions to the contrary, evolution has a whole load of scientific evidence. That's why it's taught in schools.

Also I must agree. There's certainly precious little science can do to help the Bible's case.
 
From the begining of the flood till the end it lasted one year and ten days(Genesis 7:11-8-14)
I really am not trying to weasel my way out of anything I just don't seriously see the contradiction.

Ugh.

Different numbers.

Ugh.

ETA: (One year ten days is 366 days - do you want another contradiction to your book of fact or what?

Please do not try to imply that I said this, because I didn't. Thanks

Are you asking me to teach you evolutionary theory?

Wouldn't that be a waste of your time? I mean, don't you already know what lies I am going to tell you?

Please do not try to imply that I said this, because I didn't. Thanks

So, you are saying there is or isn't science to support the Bible? If the former you should rescind your position on being against it in schools, if the later you can't really complain.

There's a different account of the flood in the Epic Of Gilgamesh, which is older that the Bible, there's floods in Greek mythology, perhaps they refer to the same event, for example, the flooding of the Black Sea, muddled accounts of the flooding of the Tigris and Euphrates or the flooding of the Nile. Which account is true? You've only belief no evidence

Besides the accounts in the Bible there are other Creation stories. How do you know that the account in the Bible is the correct one? A devout Hindu might believe a completely different version of the creation of the universe, from text that are at least as old as the Bible.

How do you know the Bible is true? There's evidence that the universe is incredibly old -that would fit better with the Hindu version than with the Bible.

How do you known that the Bible is complete? There's plently of material that didn't make the cut that you regard as the Bible, The Book of Enoch for example.

Why do you believe that your version of the Bible is true or complete?

Assertion is not evidence....

OK I think science can be used to support some of the Bible, but not all so it shouldn't be taught as scientific fact because science can't explain things like raising people from the dead. Science also can't explain that donkeys and apples have a common ancestor.
