Ah, you mean they had access to God's GPS and knew all about Australia, Antarctica, North and South America, Siberia and all that back in the so-called flood days?
Are you one of those taking the flood story literally?

I was implying they had no idea of Australia, Antarctica, N&S America, or Siberia and thus WHATEVER kind of flood they saw could not possibly have been a world wide flood since they didn't know the world.
The flood story is allegory not fact. It's saying, if you all don't behave, this is what COULD happen to you.
If you are a literal believer in the flood, answer me this: How did the known diversity of DNA around species in the world, including humans, could that have ever happened had ALL the land animals been reduced to 2, one male and one female each?
Has your BS meter gone completely bonkers that you can believe a literal world wide flood tale from middle easterners who had ZERO knowledge of any other land mass besides that around the Med?

Is the earth expanding, or is earth billions of years old?

If the continents had moved LITERALLY thousands of miles in what, a couple hundred years as a result of this bogus flood, there would be no humans left or much of any life on Earth left, maybe flies and maggots.
Try to imagine the amount of energy it would take to move entire continents in just a couple hundred years, or even 1000 years.
Of course I know your religious meme immune system will come up with an answer but you have to realize it's all BULLSHYTE.
Think about this: the earthquake at Fukishima was the result of two plates crunching together and that produced a 9 level earthquake. Do you see any stories in the bible about earthquakes that large other than 'the walls came tumbling down'?
What do you think would be the result of the entire EARTH undergoing level 9 or more likely level 12 earthquakes EVERY DAY FOR A THOUSAND YEARS?
Do you see any stories about that happening in your precious bible? Also, if that WERE to happen, the signs would be there still today and geology would be a totally different science, a story of the mopping up of entire civilizations and probably 20 thousand foot mountains everywhere on Earth not just on the major subduction zones like the ring of fire or the Alps or Himalayas.
You need to seriously update your BS meter. Which I know for a fact will never happen since you are mentally stuck in the tenth century.

So is there anyone other than twhitehead who wants to claim evolution is not used by atheists to discredit religion?

Originally posted by RJHindsYou and your video creeps have ZERO idea of the titanic forces at play in continental movements and grinding against one another. Once again, completely ignoring known laws of physics such as friction and heat and such when applied to grinding rocks the size of Mount Everest, as if masses like that could slide against one another in a few years or a few thousand years, just twist the known laws of thermodynamics, physics, and geology to force your beliefs on people with weak minds. Those video's are political based claptrap aiming for political power and nothing more. AND you know that full well.
