    The biggest evidence of the Flood? The world ocean.

    I meant more dense--thanks for asking for clarification. Remember we're talking about the amount of material covering a particular area of the mantel. If a carpet is a laid flat, it's about 3/4 inches in thickness, and it covers some amount of subfloor, let's say 10 square feet. If you crinkle...

    The biggest evidence of the Flood? The world ocean.

    The carpet analogy might defeat the lift continent idea. Folded carpet is denser (lighter per unit area) than unfolded carpet. The crust of mantel works.

    Tell me why it doesn't.

    The origin of the universe cannot be determined scientifically

    What @Stripe said. God is rational, and has always been rational, as far as I know. So logic has always existed.

    The origin of the universe cannot be determined scientifically

    No, it asks for admission of a greater creator. DNA is an instruction set for building a creature, implying a creator. To then ask for the instruction set for the creator says the creator was created himself, thus a greater creator is needed. To avoid the infinite regression, Christianity's...

    I already described one way--withholding food.

    You assume that violence is the only way to force someone. Would it be possible to force someone to have sex with you through nonviolent means? Like withholding food?

    The origin of the universe cannot be determined scientifically

    Yet you don't ascribe that technology to "I don't know". When was the last time you had beer and peanuts with Galileo? Did he even exist?

    The origin of the universe cannot be determined scientifically

    Not at all. It is more so to assume that so much information packed into such small packages is randomly achieved.

    The origin of the universe cannot be determined scientifically

    Yes. All of my hair follicles and all my DNA are evidence of God's existence. Not to mention the brains behind that technology you spoke so highly of.

    I'm glad you're willing to apply the death penalty to rapists. What about to women who falsely accuse of rape?

    Maybe the rest of us don't have as much problem with gasses as you do...just saying.

    Depends. How long has she avoided me, and why. I will say having sex with a lump of motionless flesh wouldn't be very satisfying. But that goes back to the dual nature of sex... and marriage. She belongs to me, and I belong to her.

    Based on whose standard?

    Was the marriage forced? If not, then the abstinence from sex has to be mutually agreed to, and limited in duration. Otherwise the woman is depriving the man of what belongs to him--her body. Of course, if the man is only seeking sexual gratification, he may be depriving the woman of what...

    You used the difference in your argument. We can presume that part of your argument is retracted, right? I did address the difference, in saying that once it was named, the references to the firmament could now be further described with both words. Remember that God was creating things and...

    The biggest evidence of the Flood? The world ocean.

    I agree it wasn't finished yet, but that's no reason to read something into the passage that doesn't fit. Rather, with the waters still covering the earth, the earth is still "formless and void", the good light only illuminating that fact. There's nowhere for a man to live until the dry land...
