Once again, we have someone jumping in to criticize the Biblical record who doesn't even know the Biblical record. Study up first.

Oh Iv'e studied it quite well.

Ok Hoops how did all the animals get into the boat and what did they eat? What are the logistics?

And best of all, ignoring all the other issues with the physics of the flood.......... Not only did God magically make room in the ark, change the nature of all the beasties so they line up orderly and enter the boat, change the digestive tracks of the carnivores so that they can eat things other th...

Let's try another one. In order to flood the Earth to a depth of 30K feet or so (depth needed to cover Mt. Everest) you would need 4.5 billion cubic kilometers of water. Total combined volume for the worlds oceans 1.3 billion cubic kilometers. Where did the extra water come from and where did it go...

Where did the extra water come from and where did it go?

As long as I duped, I'll try to make it useful. Estimates show that it would have taken 20-30K people 20 or so years to build the great pyramid at Giza. The tower of Babel could have been no less of an undertaking, and would have been around 150 or so years after the flood. How do you go from 8 to 2...

Frank here are some of the problems as I see them. If you take the old testament literally then: How did 2 to 7 of any of the animal species produce viable populations of their relative species. Especially in the face of carnivores eating the herbivores. The odds of 2 -7 of any species establishing ...

A belief in a universal flood becomes integral to the veracity of the Book of Mormon. No flood..... No tower of Babel then no brother of Jared. Problem is in Ether we read that this land was preserved making the mental gymnastics for a limited geography monumental. Or if you don't accept limited geo...

Calculations Human DNA X % difference = # of nucleotides that are different (3 X 10^9) X .04 = 120 X10^6 Number of possible combinations in 120 X10^6 nucleotides with 4 nucleotide combinations per site 4^(120 X10^6) = My calculator did not go that high. So I used 4^1000 which Is 1.148 X 10^519 Much...

From wikipedia (the lesser deity of knowledge, less powerful and omnipresent than the major deity of all knowledge... google) Mathematics, which is classified as a formal science, has both similarities and differences with the empirical sciences (the natural and social sciences). It is similar to em...

Many times in history the entire weight of science has been overturned. I have to say false. Mathematics is a science. In our universe if you take 2 integers and increase them by 2 more you will have four integers meaning 2+2 = 4. This is a scientific fact that can not be overturned. There are fund...
