a.k.a. Natural Law

No it doesn't. That is, there isn't any reason to think that the Earth would have ever flooded the way it did without God intervening to either cause or allow it to happen. Who cares what Calvinists might say? They see no reason for their doctrine to make sense so they can say they believe...

Who says that it was what breached the crust? It escaped once the crust was breached but that doesn't mean that it had to be the mechanism that breached it.

Why would you doubt that it would be super heated? Water boils at sea level at just over 200°. That might seem hot but it really isn't very hot at all. Any hold of water at significant depth could easily be hundreds of degrees hotter than that. It wouldn't have to be super-heated in every...

It wouldn't need to build up. If the water were contained under a layer of the Earth's surface then it would be under pressure due to the weight of the earth above it. So long as the Earth was stable, so would the pressure be. To start the flood, all God had to do was uncork the bottle sort of...

I went back a reread your post. I misread it the first time. I, for some reason, took it to mean you didn't necessarily think that the flood actually happened. That isn't what you said so I don't know why I would have thought that.

I completely agree. There was a study in 1996, if I remember the year correctly, that showed pregnancy occurs due to rape only about 5% of the time which is only just barely considered statistically significant. Meaning that the percent of error in practically any scientific study is larger than...

Playing with fire there. It'll burn you one day. Rejecting Genesis as history has logical consequences that you won't like. You're only inches away from theistic evolution and from there the denial that Jesus was the Creator. Sounds like hyperbole but it isn't, I promise. It's best to put your...

Read my entire post before beginning to respond. It'll help keep you from look this idiotic. If you attribute human activity to ducks then you are, by definition, anthropomorphizing ducts. Accusing ducks of rape is, therefore, an anthropomorphism. No. Ducks do not talk and they only sort of...

Thus the term "Hydroplate THEORY". Of course its a theory, just as Plate Techtonics is a theory. Virtually all of geology is based on one theory or another of the Earth's origins. The Hydroplate Theory is easily the best theory that has been proposed to date because it is not only consistent...

You stated that ducks reproduce via rape. Ducks are fundamentally incapable of rape. Rape is a crime that is perpetrated by human being against other human beings. Therefore, yes, you did, in fact, anthropomorphize ducks. Which, incidentally, does not raise ducks to the level of human beings but...

I never suggested that pregnancy was impossible but merely that they do not normally occur as a result of rape. The point being that rape has nothing to do with reproduction and if it did, it doesn't work very well at all. This may have several causes, not the least of which being that a woman...

I said nothing about stress and don't really know anything about the mechanisms involved but it is a well established fact that, while it does happen from time to time, the overwhelmingly vast majority of rapes do not result in a pregnancy. I think the actual number is 5%. That's stupid...

This, again, is idiotically false. There's far to many ducks for such an effort to be successful but, theoretically speaking, if we wanted to intervene, ducks could be selectively bred away from their aggressive mating tactics. Also, what ducks are doing IS NOT RAPE!!!

The way animals treat each other doesn't have anything whatsoever to do with natural law! Natural law is based on careful examination of HUMAN nature! It works because we, unlike the animals, have been created in the image and likeness of God. It is precisely natural law that tells us that...

It is absolutely NOT true in any correct sense of the word "rape". Rape NEVER has anything to do with reproduction and rarely ever results in a preganancy. It is a violent act intended to physically control, emotionally humiliate and otherwise psychologically injure the victim. All things that...

That makes sense. Public funding for private schools is a contradiction. I do not support turning private schools into public schools. Often when free societies are new, it takes a while for the market to catch up with demand. Mann's movement was an indication that the demand was present and...

While I don't necessarily disagree with any of that, I'm pretty certain that is not an old post of mine. Public education is a bad idea because it's premise is theft and because the government is incapable of performing 1/10th as well as the private sector as providing the public with an...

What time of day is it? Is that what you asked? Find out for yourself.

Listen you guys, Hoping is NOT a Christian. He is delusional beyond any help, beyond any convincing, beyond any reason whatsoever. He pretends not to commit any sin by the power of the Holy Spirit and yet doesn't understand the basic plot of the New Testament. He's a liar and a fool. You waste...
