Your missing the point, why would God the creator, Say, “and this is after the flood",
“I give you all"?
It seems to me that the Earth was recreated plan and simple: and I know it's the god did it thing.
Would it not be simple for the creator to recreate?
It’s GOD…. Hello !
Could he not protect everything that Noah couldn't, like bugs, worms?
Noah had enough to do, imagine if they didn’t have chores for that amount of time spent on an ark.
Man can only do so much.
He’s limited by his physical universe.
To hold everything that a skeptic would have on the ark would require an ark the size of a small moon.
If the Sumerians had the story wouldn't they have also descended from the line of Noah, along with all cultures.
Science gives us the answer something major happened about 12,000 years ago.
God gives life to the dead and calls into existence things that do not exist. Romans 4:17
You will be ever hearing but never understanding. You will be ever seeing but never perceiving. The hearts of these people have become calloused. They hardly hear with their ears and they have closed their eyes. Matthew 13:14-15
I said this in another post and I feel the need to post it here.
Since you can't get to the belief part you'll never know if there is a supernatural part of it, and that's a catch 22 for skeptics.
But for you, it’s backwards, since you can’t believe in the supernatural you can’t have belief.
But that's from my point of view.
In a sense everyone has to go his or her own way.
In a sense everyone has to go his or her own way, so I understand.
Also; The last stand from your viewpoint is you won’t worship an evil God.
What you don’t get is, no matter what happens here there is no death; you don’t see the big picture.
The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
II Corinthians 4:4
God only shows what is needed to be seen at the time of his intervention with us from history’s stand point or view and that is what he wants and that is the reason for faith, and then you’ll ask why must we have faith? We are not going to see all of what there is, that would make us lazy.
We all fall short of the glory of God.
How?
We couldn’t uphold all of Gods laws.
That is the reason for Christ.
It seems to me that God evolves with us.
We evolve with him too.
2 Peter3:3
3First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.
4They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation."
5But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water.
6By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.
7By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men .
8But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.
9The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
10But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.
You as skeptics are part of the mindset and the reason for destruction.
As far as science saving the world it hasn’t yet and is in the process of global warming as we write in here/speak.
It hasn’t eliminated disease completely and has brought us new super bugs.
Famine is worst than ever.
So for the past 200 years or so, with the growth of science and technology, humans believed that humanity was on the fast track to eliminating all these things, war, terrorists, pestilence and the terrors of nature through the ingenuity and moral progress of mankind.
What is the news of today?
5For many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am the Christ,[a]' and will deceive many. 6You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.
So all this is to be expected.
Science may help us, but it can't save us, it is a false belief system brought on by men.
It is knowledgeable field, but not wise.
It is not totally infallible.
