I don't respect him because he doesn't exist. Have you ever met anyone who contributed to the bible?

No - we are not allowed to "contribute" to the Holy Bible (KJV1611).


Deuteronomy 4:2
Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

Proverbs 30:5-6
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Revelations 22:18
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book

That's just silly. They all died ages ago. Or are you advocating necromancy?

Re: Water Proves Atheism is False!

This is quite stupid.

you're telling me!

Yes, the Earth has existed for millions…of years, but humans have not. Humans have evolved slowly over millions of years.

......and you'll probably say you changed that to "billions" after looking something up but you do have problems don't you.

Oh, I was wrong. It is billions of years old. Even better than I expected.

Point #1; Wickedpedia is notoriously unreliable. I wouldn't believe them if they told me that the sky was blue.

Point #2; The earth is a little over 6,000 years old. HERE's proof.

Re: Water Proves Atheism is False!

This pic in OP's topic is not telling you everything

You're forgetting that before all the land animals appeared, all the other species lived in the water, and didn't need it to survive by drinking

about 2% of the water is actually drinkable, everything else is salt water

humans don't absorb all the water, it is excreted and then recycled naturally through natural means such as entropy of water drying up and turning into rain again

your statistic is false because you neglect all the recycled water in the form of rain.

Humans are tunnels, not bottomless caves

And we KNOW the earth is over 4.5 billion years old

because of Radiometic dating of Uranium, which has a half life of 4.51×109 years

all radioactive elements decay logarithmically meaning the cycle can be tracked mathematically and the age of the earth based on the number of mols of decay products vs the number of mols of remaining product.

using Logarithms of hundreds of samples taken, it has been determined that the earth is approximately 4.54 billion years old

This is the decay chart of Uranium 238


and this is the Electromagnetic Radiation Spectrum

*** moving the goalpost, quoting unreliable sources, hitching their wagon to any old "science" that is fashionable at the moment ***

Tell me this:

Have you ever held uranium in your hands?

Do you have any documented proof (i.e., contemporary writings from the time you speak of) that the earth is billions () of years old?

These are the kinds of questions that True Christians(tm) get when we talk about our faith. I'm sure you will have no problem being held to the same standard.

for one, I didn't quote anything, everything I said was paraphrased, and I didn't steal from anyone

we don't need evidence FROM that time period, if a tree is planted, and 40 years later it is measured to be 40 years old, the same concept applies, we don't need to observe it being planted

Also, you can't hold uranium in your bare hands, your hands would catch fire because the radiation makes it SO hot.

but heres a picture of someone holding a very large sample of uranium with coated lead gloves



Also here is a brief article on Rhenium-Osmium dating with sources to it's findings on the Mississipian-Devonian era, it also includes standard deviation to account for error and by my surprise the findings were very well done

Radiometric dating has long ago been tossed onto the trash heap of discredited scientifical theories.

No it hasn't it is accurate down to 96.4%

thats EXTREMELY accurate when you're dealing with billions of years, that extra 3.6 % is just +/- a hundred thousand years

Also you posted a kent Hovind video

Carbon dating

I don't quite understand that. Could you explain how Carbon dating works for me please?

Re: Water Proves Atheism is False!

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. I've never even once seen water going back up into the sky.

But turning water into wine is perfectly plausible, is it? Oh wait, that was a miracle. Silly me.

Pfft some miracle: http://wineportfolio.com/c/?p=581

...Boasting an alcohol content of 8.2%, each sachet contains 60g of red powder which you stir into boiling water. The result, it’s claimed, is an instant Gluhwein that’s just perfect for restoring the energy of weary hikers...

I don't know about you, but I'm putting my faith in something believable like talking snakes, a tower that was build high into the clouds, Lot's wife turning into a pillar of salt, a global flood that wiped out all life, a river turning into blood, burning ice falling from the skies, a pillar of fire appearing out of nowhere to stop the Egyptians, Moses parting the Red Sea, a river bursting out of a rock, God flying around in a cloud ship and zapping the Isrealites with fire beams, talking donkeys, a sound of trumpets crumbling the walls fo Jericho, the day and night cycle stopping at Joshua's command, Samson's super human strength and his 1 vs 1000 victory over armed and armored soldiers using nothing but a donkey's jawbone, Saul speaking with Samuels ghost, Solomon's 1000 mates, God & Isrealite killing a 1 million strong cushite army, Jesus walking on water, Jesus raising the dead, Jesus turning water to wine, Jesus feeding 5000 people with 5 loafs of bread and 2 fish, the earth quaking when Jesus died and zombies walking the streets and Jesus rising from the dead and flying to Heaven.

So why have you just damned your own argument?

Also, I find the systematic predictability of you people absolutely hilarious. My first ever reply, with a valid observation having noted a blatant hypocrisy and I've already been given a warning. You really pride yourselves on efficiency, huh.

If you're not open to discussion, then what's the point? Let's be civilised here and have a rational debate as to why the idea of water evaporating is scientifically absurd, but the turning of water into wine may as well be common practice.
