Noah's ark is not a true story you guys...

No scientist actually thinks a global flood occurred. Modern biblical scholars accept that Genesis isn’t a literal account of anything. Catch up with the times.

Yes, in Genesis, either God affected the earth a lot more than we think or a lot of it needs to be interpreted as metaphorical. Personally, I don't know which one to pick. Science doesn't seem to suggest any kind of global flood happening; there isn't enough water, so it may have been local. Or God, being God, made the water and then removed the water.

Fortunately, whether God exists affects the probability of this having actually happened, not the other way around, to an atheist pushing this point doesn't have too much of a base.

agreed

You realize that the Ark was 400 feet long

You realize it's impossible for all those species to have survived such an event, even on the ark?

I disagree

But I will not debate because it won't be very civil I am aftaid

You are afraid of the truth.

Nah my bad g I meant to say I am afraid that online debates are generally not civil

I’ll be civil if you want an honest, open debate.

Bet

Fr? That would be great. What format do you want to use? Also I think we should do it in dms instead of comments so it doesn't get interrupted.

Just send me an invite link. Don’t need to do anything more than a simple opening followed by responses.

Ngl I'm kinda newer here. Could u send me an invite link cause Idk how

Okay

No matter how stubborn you were, are, and will be, I will hold you in my prayers.

You do realize that the Ark was 400 feet long and carried 6,744 animals 💀

You do realize that there are 2 million species in the animal kingdom alive today and that humans are not descendants of incest?

Not at the time

Ah so you believe in evolution

On a certain scale, yes.

Countless transitional species have been documented and put into the fossil record. The evidence of macroevolution is overwhelming. Scientific experiments have demonstrated natural selection and genetic drift.

Buddy, I hope you understand that before he died, Darwin said that if humans did not find evidence of the "missing link", then his theory was wrong.

now it's been over 300 years and we have still not found evidence of this "missing link" which means that his theory of macroevolution is false, yet we still continue to believe it to this day.

I believe we should address this in our debate later

To clarify — all modern dogs descended from the seven breeding pairs on the ark therefore evolution has been demonstrated, at least for the many various breeds of dog

You do realize that the bible said 'kinds', not 'species', which are different terms

Correct. "Kinds" is unscientific nonsense that means nothing. Taxonomy is the systematic classification of life and classifies and describes the evolutionary history of all living organisms today.

Even if they don't mean it at the family level, there would be exponentially less land and air species thousands of years in the past

Also, when exactly do you think this global flood happened?

Somewhere 1200 B.C.-ish

Did dinosaurs live as recently as 3,000 years ago?

Yes

Tell me why you believe a majority of dinosaurs, save the birds, did not all get wiped out 66 million years ago in the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.

Because after the flood, the land wasn't fit for the dinosaurs to live there. Which caused them to be slowly killed off by animals and humans

Humans never lived alongside dinosaurs and no evidence suggests that they did. Dinosaurs went extinct some 66 million years ago, modern homo sapiens didn't arise until 300,000 years ago in Africa.

What about the cave drawings of humans hunting dinosaurs, and the legends of 'Dragons'?

99% of all species that have ever lived on this planet are extinct today. What you see today is 1% of all species that have ever lived. Not sure what your point is.

You do realize the world was flooded for 150 days, right?

That's physically impossible, and there is scientific consensus that the global flood never occurred. There is reason to believe the Biblical flood narrative derived some of its influences from an earlier myth known as the Epic of Gilgamesh, both tales where god wants to punish humanity by wiping them out with a flood, sparing one man's family and putting him on a boat with a kingdom of animals.

This is something better and bigger than science it's called Catholicism or for some, Christianity

Christianity is when we throw up our hands and say god did it because we don't know better. Science is when we actually develop a better understanding of our natural, material world.

Christianity is when we throw up our hands and praise God for doing it.
Science is a useful tool that we have, thanks to God, that allows us understand the nature of his glorious creation and specifically how "god did it".

What is nature without God?

The phenomena of the physical world, rife with life.

tell me, how do you believe the universe was created?

2 beeg rok go boom

I don't think it's such a good idea to seperate Catholicism and Christianity. If Catholics are Christians, let's call the Christians.
