    virgins cannot have magical babies. i reject your religion on an empirical basis.

    again, whatever this guy says is based on his faith, just like whatever you believe. if he wants to claim 7 plus 7 is negative 30 because his faith says, so be it. no different than you claiming jesus had miraculous powers, which i know is empirically not true.

    First of all for you non faith guys you might want to back off a bit on 2+2 never equalling 5. Try 2.4+2. 4 rounded to one digit. Depending on the Zombies notation that could be problematic.

    But, how does this play with 2012? Damn we got two end of worlds. In less than two years. Not liking those odds.

    I am not saying logic and empiricism has to be universally applied. I happily admit that I believe in the miraculous. That in no way means all faiths are equally valid or of equal value.

    There is not. Counting mythological generations is not a test. If there had been a great deluge there would be geological evidence and there is none. Worse, there is simply not enough water on the planet to cover the continents. If there was, then where did it go?

    that is exactly what it means. any proposition is true only to the extent that evidence supports it. faith is meaningless and has zero bearing on truth. so all other things being equal, all faith based theories are equal.

    magic men are not born from virgins. the end. weird numbers dont mean the world will end in a few hours. the end.

    I think you are misunderstanding my point slightly. I am not saying the flood occurred. I don't believe in a literal Bible interpretation. What I am saying is the biblical generations can be counted because numbers are assigned to each of them. The Bible tells us how long Methuselah and Moses, and Abraham lived. This dude added those numbers wrong. Many rival Fundamentalist churches are pointing to this to denounce this dude's prediction without rejecting his theology.

    According to this site, there's plenty of evidence:

    Scientific Evidence for a Worldwide Flood

    The Biblical flood didn't have to be world-wide. The author(s) of Genesis would have had no way of knowing if the Western Hemisphere flooded; they didn't know it existed. But there's plenty of evidence to indicate that major regions of the world have flooded, including possibly the world as the authors of the Bible knew it.
