quicksand Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Kent has one of the best explanation for how the earth could have been flooded, accounting for the fact there is not enough water on the earth to inudate it completely. He says the surface of the earth was completely flat. ? I always have to wonder a couple things. How flat is flat? Even driving through the southern waste lands of Illinios (or Iowa ugh)- which is pretty flat, there are plenty of of little kettles and moraines. But where the hell did Mt Arafat come from? Did a whole mountain float to its present position? Ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vixentrox Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Well, see Xtains used to belive the earth was flat because the bible said so..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quicksand Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Well, see Xtains used to belive the earth was flat because the bible said so..... But completely flat without unbroken permutation? I mean, if we take the "flat earth" as allegorical, you still have to account for the curvature of the earth, so again, when Kent states flat - what does he mean?

quicksand Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Maybe the earth was flat like a sheet of paper, and then god got pissed off, in a never before recorded atrocity, and crumpled it up into a ball. LOL. OR flat like...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Neil Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 OR flat like...... Hovind's senior picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Rhino Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 If the earth was flat and there was a flood ... how did the waves know when to stop and turn around? Wouldn't a flat earth make for difficult orbits of the other planets? They could still orbit but it just wouldn't be pretty. PR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Neil Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 To be fair, I think Hovind is saying that the surface was level, as in a propetual Kansas around the globe. Of course, this is utterly retarded, as the Bible literally says that the flood waters covered the highest mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he likes to play word games, so I am just playing along with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Neil Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Ah, gotcha. If anyone deserves to have his words twisted, it's Hovind. I think I'd like to see someone actually do that to him for a change. Take everything he says out of context and see how he likes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like listening to right wing radio or getting the daily talking points, ie misdirection and irrelevance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sokudo Ningyou Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 Oh, yes. The flood. I got into a discussion about it with my roomie, and he didn't really say much about the whole "fish unable to live in mixed water" or "plants unable to survive" argument, but kept stubbornly arguing that it had to happen because it was in the bloody book. After I said it was most likely a localized flood that was blown out of proportion, he kind of...shut up. Not that he admitted defeat, he just stopped arguing with me. He also thinks Jonah's whale problem is possible because a large mammal back then could have been alive, that isn't now, that was capable of swallowing a human being without accidently digesting them or chewing them. Because God may have created one solely for the purpose of suckin' down Jonah like plankton (sp?). (Plankington? That's a street. Almost wrote that down.) It was craziness. And when I said that was ridiculous, he accused me of being irrational of not believing in Santa Claus and his mythical mammals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occaisionally, Christians say just things for they just need to be slapped, because no amount of reason will do. Speaking of which, I'm now on my way to go see what stupidity TJR just typed....
