Re: Louisiana Science Education Act - One for GOD!

I never said that the giant tortoise was provable. In fact, I said just the opposite. I said that the giant tortoise was just as provable as Genesis - both are impossible to prove.

Wrong. If the Earth sits on the back of a giant tortoise, it should be quite easy to prove. Just tell us where this tortoise of yours is (the south pole, I would imagine), and have a jet fly down there and look.

If no tortoise is found, then that'd be conclusive proof that the Earth does NOT sit on the back of a giant tortoise.

And the fact that the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil have never been found proves that Genesis is a fable.

Okay now that's just stupid. How many trees have you seen that are 6,000 years old?

I'm sure someone built a house out of it by now.

Surely God would hae made such special trees eternal.

Yes perhaps, but are you saying that someone couldn't of made it into an eternal log cabin? Or maybe it was made into eternal paper. I am sure it is still around, just not in tree form.

If someone could have cut down the Tree of Life or the Tree of Knowledge, then they would have simply been ordinary trees. So much for God's magical arbor.

If God made a tree that could not be cut down, would it even be considered a tree then?

The Bible states clearly that humans were cast out, and never allowed to return.

The Trees have never been found because humans are not allowed access to Eden any longer.

Surely God would hae made such special trees eternal.

The Bible says no such thing. Your speculation is just that, speculation.

Yes.

There are several trees that cannot be cut down. They are all in the Garden of Eden, and nobody can get in there anymore because it is guarded by cherubim with a flaming sword.
