Talk:Essay:Noah's Ark Was Real (view source)
Revision as of 05:03, November 13, 2009
, 05:03, November 13, 2009→Is this debate necessary?
:::Thanks for the heads up on my last post, it seems I cut a sentence too many (fixed now). Indeed, if there were a global flood then it would be difficult to account for the survival and subsequent geographic spread of many species of mammal. But I expect you'll find that those who believe in evolution are unlikely to believe in a global flood, and so as far as they're concerned the problem doesn't exist. The question is down to the evidence for such a flood, and if it were '100%' then I don't think there would be any discussion whatsoever MichaelZ. There are few things in this world which are for certain, and when it comes to science there is no such thing as absolute certainty, science works on 'provisional truths'.

::::I think what the deniers of the Great Flood are forgetting is the omnipotence of God. Miracles happened, and Noah's Ark is one of them. [[User:HarryG|HarryG]] 23:18, 12 November 2009 (EST)

:::::We are not talking about anyone 'forgetting' such a thing. The fundamental point here is that not everyone shares the same assumptions, for example regarding a belief in God, the Biblical flood, or evolution. To simply counter an argument with, an opposing assumption/belief doesn't really advance the discussion as we will always simply revert to the overarching question concerning the existence of God.
