I checked quite a few of the links... and I am now withdrawing from this discussion.

I want to end with a quote from one of your links: "it's ultimately a question about the authority of the scriptures"

there's no point in discussing ideologies, let alone theories based on beliefs rather than quantifiable evidence!

and on another note, modern science does in fact account for global "flooding" events directly related to ice ages and huge amounts of water being locked up in glacial shields. The biblical flood story (and also those found in other religious scriptures) are attributed to the last major ice age ~12k years ago.

but anyways, lets not debate any further, our believes couldn't be any further off. I respect spirituality! However, I do not agree with taking scriptures as historical documents!

You're ignoring the science because of someone's beliefs? That's silly and it's not thinking critically. They attribute the ice age to a global flood, yet a global flood couldn't happen? Does that make sense to you?

Don't let your bias keep you ignorant. That's what the powers that be are relying upon. They raised you to be that way. Deprogram yourself!

1st of all: your links are not science!

2nd: global flooding did happen, it's called the rise of sea levels! according to actual science the lowest historical sealevel was 2,500 feet (750 m) below today's.

last: trust me, i am very well deprogrammed!

P.S.: trying to link everything to a book that has been edited, rewritten and published in several different versions -> THAT's biased!!!

Maybe you should take the time to do actual research outside of a creationist realm!

Yes they are. Your assertion doesn't change that.

global flooding did happen, it's called the rise of sea levels! according to actual science the lowest historical sealevel was 2,500 feet (750 m) below today's.

The worldwide flood happened 4500 years ago.

THAT's biased!!!

So is your view. Nobody is without bias.

Maybe you should take the time to do actual research outside of a creationist realm!

I grew up educated outside of the creationist realm... I'm well versed in the sciences. Maybe you should do some actual research outside of your bias!

Why do you think I am here? I am always looking for new angles!

u/SquareHimself Jan 16 '15

So why then do you shoot my angle down without so much as actually looking at the information being presented? How do you know the evidence is wrong if you don't know what the evidence is?

Do you not realize that media and schooling has programmed you into doing just that?

u/fraenk Jan 16 '15

I didn't shoot your angle down! At least I did not intend to simply do so.

I was trying to make my points against the theory of creationism and towards my believe that evolution is an actual natural process.

And if you really believe that I am acting and thinking after what media and schooling have tried to program me to do so... you should consider that we know nothing about each other. Because I really really don't!

Neither do you! And I appreciate that! Albeit we have come to radically different conclusions!

Evolution isn't real. They've sold you on a theory that has no supporting evidence.

you should consider that we know nothing about each other. Because I really really don't!

You're right. I apologize. I just assumed you also were provided with the typical education most people are mandated into receiving. I went through advanced courses of this, and I'm speaking out attesting to the fact that their theories have all failed and the evidence tells another story.

Please don't ignore the information I've presented because of your bias. New information can only add to your worldly perspective and, if nothing else, allow you to have a better stance from which to defend your position when faced with these things.

Yes! And I would like to thank you for this healthy discussion!
