I don't think you get it. It's not easy to be a Christian-- it requires supreme love of Jesus Christ and complete self-effacement to His word. Does that sound easy? It's hard work, every single day.
Have you ever heard of something called Occam's Razor? It's a favorite of you $cience types. The gist of it is that the simplest solution is the best.
Now, we're not trying to prove to each other that there were no Ice Ages.
We're trying to prove it to YOU, so that you can join Jesus Christ at his throne in heaven. I don't think that the simplest solution is the best.
Your $cienti$ts do!
Which is simpler? That poorly described and documented changes in Earth's orbit, combined with changing metabolisms leading to atmospheric changes, led to a runaway decrease in the temperature of the Earth as frozen water led to increased reflection of the sun's light? And that giant rivers of ice carved thousand-foot deep gouges through the hardest mountains?
Or that God reached down with His benevolent fingers and tore fingers of ocean for us to reap His bounty?
Just look it up. Then tell me which is a simpler explanation, which explanation requires fewer leaps of faith. Then: tell me why your masters are ignoring the rules they claim to hold most dear!
