Totally false. First of all, can you read ancient Aramaic? No?

Aramaic and other anicient languages contain a fraction of the words modern languages do. Some words in Aramaic have hundreds of meanings based on context.

You are talking about translations by hand done thousands of different times, from language to language to language, by thousands of different people. People with thoughts, politics and agendas.

Not to even get started on the hundreds of apocryphal texts. And the large contradictions just in the gospels.

The Bible is anything but reliable.

And lol on the carbon dating 4K year thing.

There is tons of evidence to support that claim. Save my time and read my former post.

There is none. Zero. Claiming bible passages as evidence doesn't work.

And I just referenced one in my past post but whatever man. There's also tons of evidence that support a Biblical flood.

There hasn't been a single post from you with any actual, scientific evidence.

Also the worldwide flood there is no evidence for either. It's also literally impossible.

Cheetahs disprove it among millions of other things. Genetics. Rock formations.

Basic science regarding water.

What are they..how would you define the group?


*Is "mock" the new word to expect to see cycling around?*

Lol. Cheetahs? Really that's your argument?

Look as I said in my first post, I understand people have different beliefs and I don't mock others for that. It's very naive for you to.

But as I referenced before in the book of Job he calls the Earth spherical before ANY science had come to that conclusion. It was widely accepted Earth was flat and wasn't till thousands of years later that we understood indeed the Bible was correct and the earth is a sphere. So say what you want, but science has been the only thing to evolve it's opinion as time goes on.

No, let him talk.

As a marine geologist researching paleolandscapes during the Quaternary Period, I'd love to hear new theories that I can implement into my research!

People get so caught up in all the wrong things with the Bible. It helps to remember the Matthew, Mark, Luke and John weren't running around with the King James arguing with people about the age of the earth. That Paul wasn't debating about the plausibility of the Ark. They spread the gospel. I wish my Christian brothers would stick to this when talking with non believers. It's all that really matters in such conversations.

Jesus was the son of God, he was crucified for our sins, he rose three days later and eventually went to heaven to prepare for all those who simply believe and turn from their sin. His mercy is boundless and his love is comforting and compelling.

earth is around 6K years old

Human civilization and a written record of it dates to back around 6,000 years ago, but there is plenty of evidence that the modern human species dates back to at least 30,000 years ago.

Amen brother, you're exactly right
