Biblical Flood? Fish, squid, and shrimp fossils in the mountains of Lebanon and Peru

[Gawdzilla Sama]

DOC, it rained forty days and forty nights (awesome overtime for the rain angels) and then it took 150 days for the waters to recede according to your book. Have you not read it?

 

[Akhenaten]

You're talking to a person who has so far refused to acknowledge the existence of the modern city of Tyre for no other reason than that to do so would falsify an ancient prophecy.

U r joking, right?

'cos I was about to write something about how relative and absolute dating are made and the hows n' whys you don't need to actually perform isotope assays to find out the age of a given rock... If u r not jokin', then it would be a waste of my time...

I'll just add this quote from ddt to the one Mojo has provided above.

Mighty One:
Might you provide (for us relative newcomers) a link to the post where DOC claimed Tyre isn't there? TYVM!

It's about a prophecy in Ezekiel that Nebuchadnezzar would destroy Tyre. See the Incredible odds of fulfilled bible prophecy thread. Here is one post of DOC, and another, where he defends the failed prophecy. But you really should read the whole thread for a good laugh.

Volcanoes that erupt with enough violence to fling water, fossils, and who knows what else for miles, and yet leave no other physical evidence of their existence?

DOC, you may want to crack a basic geology text one of these days...

 

[Correa Neto]

He's not joking.

Not sure if there's a cure for that stage...

C'mon, post it anyway.
You know you want to!

Who knows what else, indeed.
Tuataras and moas and tunnelweb spiders, please.

And then claim to have skimmed 30% of it, whilst at the same time misquoting the dust jacket blurb, repeatedly making reference to the same half-dozen pages that just coincidentally happen to be available in online reviews and asserting that the author, former skeptic Sir ___________ , is an atheist favourite and therefore cannot possibly be wrong when he says that goddidit.

But does it do windows?

For Dr. Fuchs sake stop nit picking

 

[DOC]

Yes, Moses is considered as the author of Genesis, according to Jewish 'tradition', infact he's traditionaly considered as the author of the Torah, which is the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, made up of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.... but, ignoring the fact that Biblical scholars date Genesis' authorship to over 500 years after the Bible...

Some do, some don't.

I believe that I actualy asked you for the "quote" in the Book of Genesis itself that names it's author. Now, no more avoiding the actual question that I asked, who does the Book of Genesis itself quote as it's author?

It doesn't on the copies, which seems to happen a lot on ancient writings. That's why other evidence is looked for which I presented in a previous post.

Any chance of you addressing the actual topic of the thread?


In case you've forgotten:

Your intimation that Pangea was one continent as recently as 6K years ago seems to indicate otherwise.

Suppose you lay out a chronology:

In your opinion, when did 'god' create the world?

In your opinion, when was Pangea last a single continent?

In your opinion, when did the "global flood" happen?

In your opinion, when did the orogeny of the Himalayas happen?

Please to put those 4 events in the order you want to be able to claim that they happened, with the dates you want to wish for them.

[Akhenaten]

This thread is not about my opinions.

It's exactly what the thread is about.

Your opinion that there's a relationship between the Biblical flood and the fish, squid and shrimp fossils found in the mountains of Lebanon and Peru.

The thread title is a big giveaway.

 

[John Jones]

Yeah, but we still don't know who the "actual person" was who estimated the fossils to be 95 million years old. There must be a name, but we don't have one. And it's already been mentioned about the problems with carbon dating marine life and very old material.

http://www.specialtyinterests.net/carbon14.html

....

Do you think ¹⁴C dating is used to date things 95 million years old or something? If so, think again.

The practical upper limit for ¹⁴C dating is somewhere around 40,000-60,000 years.

You people who rail again carbon 14 dating slay me.

What the ****?

Biblical Flood? Fish, squid, and shrimp fossils in the mountains of Lebanon and Peru

The bible talks of a worldwide flood. Could marine fossils found 700 meters above sea level be evidence of that?

What?



What?




The word "flood" (let alone Noah's flood) does not appear in the articles you linked in the OP. No one anywhere is musing as to whether these fossils have anything to do with biblical flood stories. Except DOC. It's only your opinion. Please correct me if I'm wrong and tell me in who else's opinion do those things have anything to do with each other?

I'm almost certain this is nothing more than a desperate ploy on DOC's part that he thinks will allow him to avoid stating his position next time he's asked by claiming to have already answered the question.

I'm equally certain that it won't work.

Still no evidence either. He seems to do that quite bit, at least from what I can tell of his other threads.

Judging by your source, the ones who do (ascribe the Torah to Moses) say things like

Long-age geology, big bang cosmology, secular archaeology, liberal theology, and philosophical attacks on miracles in the Bible have deceived many people

The ones who don't are less likely to be as barking mad as the contributors to Answers in Genesis. Haven't we already discussed how these "answers" are different in Chapter 1 and Chapter 2?

 

[Resume]

Well that's good because the opinion that there was a world-consuming flood +/- 4000 years ago is a really dumb one.

 

[Akhenaten]

In 5½ years I don't recall DOC ever producing evidence in support of anything he's claimed.

 

[tsig]

I'll get to this as time permits, there is an explanation.

Satandidit?
