why would anyone believe in a book someone wrote? even my medical textbooks are full of error, and these are heavily researched evidence based book... We don't even know who 'really' wrote the bible. Probably some guy trying to make some quick cash on sheepish believers of their time.

Because there's that odd chance that _those_ who wrote the book were divinely inspired.


Recently came back from San Francisco, on the street there was a guy in the street preaching about Christianity; ppl looked at him weird and treated him like a mad man next the the subway station. Ppl did the same back in the days and were mostly treated with respect... so who was divinely inspired again?! times have chance, sketicisim, individualism, and critical thinking is probably the worst enemy to religion. Who would believe me if I told them I split the Red Sea in half and i can communicate with God? i will probably get treated like a mad man. Stories in the bible sound like fairy tales anyway u look at it. Virgin Mary?! LOL..who's to say the hymen was intacted, she got creampied by someone

That made me lol

It's extremely offensive and disrespectful actually

If all the ice melted the Earth would still not be flooded.

The polar ice caps have not existed in Earth's past, likewise, the earth has been completely frozen over at least twice for several thousand millennia in it's history.  We really only need to go back about 40-50,000 years ago before the last ice age when the earth was ice free.

What helped to create the last ice age and  the polar ice caps was the formation of Central America through tectonic plate action that caused a divide between the Atlantic and Pacific ocean.  Prior to that, the oceans were warmer, keeping the polar caps mild to warm.

You forget to factor in that a large proportion of civilisation lives quite close to the ocean. New York would be wiped out, for instance.

"It is generally believed that if the Arctic and Antarctica ice caps melted in full then sea levels would rise between 70 and 80 metres. This produces some spectacular and eerie changes to the world as we know it. Large parts of Brazil are underwater, along with North West Europe and the eastern United States. This terrible sea level rise is less than the flooding that took place at the end of the Ice Age, when 100 metres of land was consumed and lost forever."

http://100prophecies.org/  <---- There's waay more where this came from 

 

http://www.bible.ca/b-prophecy-60.htm   <---- Also a good link.

Wait, you mean the first half of the Bible correctly predicted a heap of things in the second half of the Bible? Wow.

I guess that means that Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time is far more predictive than either the Bible or the Mayans.

It genuinely made me laugh, only because I've never seen anyone put it so bluntly.

Despite how he put his point accross, he has a valid point, she would of been impregnated the traditional way, weather she was rapped or simply had sex. I'd be willing to believe these two things....unless some how back then they had the tech to be able to artificially inseminate her....but that would be to much of a leap to make, wouldn't it?  Some times the simplest explination is the  correct explination, so no need to over complicate things.

As for the highlighted part, it's the internet, most specifically, it's a thread dealing with religion, such comments will be made. I'd suggest swallowing a cement pill or simply ignoring these threads, your choice :)

My point wasn't that sea levels wouldn't rise, but that the Earth itself would not be fully consumed by water.  I have no doubt it would result in significant change and possibly significant loss of life if warnings go unheard, but there's no world ending flood.

I know you're trying to be witty, but the Old Testament is written hundreds (if not thousands) of years ago before the New Testament (which is The Bible). And that's a historic fact. And given that it was written by different people from different areas around the world, i really fail to see your point..
