Did you know Albert Einstein actually believed in God ( Archived) (509)

I am sorry you feel that way. Those so called silly ideas you think are mine.. are not mine but someone else's ideas. Maybe you ought to direct your comments to the people they are intended for.

As for you claiming the website I have posted you are wrong in that also. It is not my website for I am not the one who came up with the idea of that website nor am I one who maintains it. Once again you are wrong and should direct your comments to the people your comments are intended for.

Insulting the wrong people is really sad.. and I feel sorry for you.

Treat others the way you would like to be treated – with respect - be polite, considerate, with no personal attacks, name calling, harassment, bad language. This is a place for discussion, debate, even disagreements – but not arguments just for the sake of arguing or aggravation.

Be positive. If you don't like what someone is saying, leave the thread.

The funny thing is (if it weren't so sad) how convinced you are of your own superstitions, and never for one second doubt the silliness of what you say.

Three things to keep in mind before you post here:

1. Is it true?
2. Is it kind?
3. Is it necessary?

The insults you have been throwing towards people is never kind or necessary.

It is ok to disagree but you can be nice about it. Remember there is always more than one way to look at something. And when people see things differently it does not make one stupid or pitiful.

Another Local Flood Theory
by Brian Thomas, M.S. *
A British researcher has offered yet another non-biblical explanation for the source of the global Flood account in Genesis. Archaeologist Sean Kingsley proposed that the story arose from the flooding of ancient and now submerged villages in the Mediterranean Sea southwest of Mount Carmel. Collectively called Atlit-Yam, these villages were inhabited long ago when the sea level was lower.1

Some scholars have proposed that the flood narrative was inspired by a long-ago breached dam that allowed the Mediterranean to flow into what is now the Black Sea. Kingsley argued that this event was too far away from the Holy Land to have inspired ancients to write what they did. He rhetorically asked The Jerusalem Post, “What's more convincing scientifically, a flood in the Black Sea, so far away from Israel and the fantasy of a supposed ark marooned on the slopes of Mount Ararat, or six submerged Neolithic villages smack-bang in the middle of the Bible Land?”2

But why would a flood affecting such a limited area be described thus: “And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered”?3 Even if the biblical record were absent, a host of scientific evidence seems to demand a worldwide flood.4 Noah’s Flood is the most scientifically sound causative agent for an Ice Age.5 And it was the melting of the continental ice from this age, some hundreds of years after the Flood, that likely raised sea levels to eventually inundate Atlit-Yam.

Israeli archaeologist Ehud Galili has excavated Atlit-Yam for decades and disagreed with Kingsley’s proposition. Many uniquely preserved artifacts—including animal bones, fish bones, and plant matter—have been discovered in the underwater villages. They do not indicate a cataclysm but seem best explained by “the slow rise of sea levels which occurred all over the world.”2 Such underwater, formerly coastal villages exist worldwide.6

Archaeologist Shimon Gibson told the Post, “The bottom line is that overall evidence of world submerged in flood does not exist.” In light of the apostle Peter’s warning,7 this kind of comment is to be expected.

Nevertheless, those who reject the worldwide flood event should be asked to provide reasons why this biblical historical narrative account is different from the otherwise scientifically reliable content of Scripture.8 They also need to explain transcontinental sediment transport, the cause of the Ice Age, fossilized sea creatures atop every high mountain in the world, the rapid burial of plants and animals required to produce the fossil record, the vast extent of some sedimentary rock layers, and the remarkable lack of erosion features at the contacts between strata9—all without Noah’s Flood.
