    Copyright traps on maps

    What about women? Exodus 1:15-21 (KJV) 15 And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of the one [was] Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah: 16 And he said, When ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, and see [them] upon the stools; if it [be] a son...

    Lol. I said fruitful, not fruity.

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    Even with your reading, this isn't true. Genesis 1:9-10 (KJV) 9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven (remember he had just defined "firmament" as "heaven", which you say was the earth's crust and now he's using the word as defined) be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry...

    Moral compass was your sidebar. My example illustrates the folly of everybody doing what is right in his own eyes and expecting righteous results.

    Again, if Adam is doing what he was told to do, and Eve isn't, it isn't rape. It might be something else... Adam's actions after she refused might include some punishment, I suppose, but the act that was already commanded (be fruitful and multiply), isn't the punishment. That kind of thinking...

    What about Eve? Did she have the "right" to say "no" even after God commanded "Be fruitful and multiply"?

    Copyright traps on maps

    How can you prove the map is your design when you go to court if everything on the map is exactly what's there in real life--making both maps of identical content? You do realize it was taking the copier to court that caused this conversation to be started in the first place, right?

    Is it ok to lie in the creation of a map to prevent someone from stealing?

    The Flood is proof of the Creation

    Also, air conditioning and geothermal heating both rely on the change in pressure to produce a change in temperature.

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    That's fine. I've just seen some make a big deal of the plural vs singular forms in the translations, where the different forms aren't really there.

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    Ok, that makes sense. I'm not too big on the canopy, mainly because the water is above the firmament, which I would associate with space, rather than the sky.

    The Flood is proof of the Creation

    Depends on how much expansion of the steam has occurred before it hits your skin, and how much pressure it was under prior to the rupture. I'm not a proponent for all aspects of the HPT, but it's an intriguing theory with some good points. Firmament equaling earth equaling heaven not equaling...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    I would suggest it's more likely the waters above are higher than the "sky", more fitting with above "space" in our modern terminology. The plural of "heaven" used in Gen 1 seems to indicate something at least to the 2nd heaven (to make use of the plural), compared to Paul's reference to the 3rd...

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    The one thing I would suggest changing is that the expanse/firmament was called "Heavens". The singular usage in that one place is a translation mistake, in my opinion, since the plural is what is used throughout Gen 1 in the Hebrew.

    The Flood is proof of the Creation

    Temperature drops rapidly when pressure is reduced rapidly. P=VxT (pressure = volume x temperature) is the main equation of thermodynamics. If the pressure, P, drops, and volume of water stays the same, the temperature has to drop proportionately.

    Is there any obvious evidence today for the biblical global Flood?

    Can you elaborate on this? Why can't there be things that exist but aren't mentioned in the Bible?

    Eh...I'm going to retract that. My usage is not very common, if used at all.

    You keep repeating something as if that makes it true. What if 95% of the world disagreed with you? Would that make you wrong? I'm sure you would say "no." What if 95% of the world agreed with you? Would that make you right? Do you believe in a standard of right and wrong that is more...

    The Flood is proof of the Creation

    Science has the ability today to effect a virgin birth. Something similar happens with test tube babies, snowflake embryo adoption and cloning.

    A violation of what? If we're merely going off of meh opinions, why is rape worse than withholding sex from your husband, or sodomy, or criminalizing sodomy, or criminalizing rape (refer back to @Idolater's duck-rape posts).
