Sorry Superdan, I didn't read your post properly. In the case you make, no I don't believe it's a contradiction.
Why? The first thread was all about the story of Noah's Ark which I have particular scientific causative concerns about.
You can read all about that.
As for JC, that's entirely different. I would argue the scientific claims of his story in the Bible, if it came to bear that they were
to be part of a cinematic biopic on JC. However, it could be that these are merely his More

I'm sure you're not that new to this whole internet thing and can work out exactly what we mean by troll. So, how's this for stating the obvious; drop this or find yourself on your first official warning. Three strikes and you're out. More

Hi everyone. I hope you slept well. I tend to disappear and reemerge due to the time difference. So I hope nobody else besides Funkrae interprets this as me ng the whole thing'en picking it up again. This is what I am doing but simply for the reason that I need sleep in between.
I'm still profoundly thrilled to be a part of this debate and forum with such a diversity of different thinkers, and certainly some very comedic ones. On a few occassions now I have been called a new to this movie More

Well unless what's been going into the water has only been going in through the timeline of somebody he knows then it's acceptable.
Engel, you're getting silly now. Twice you've dropped the whole thing only to come back in and pick an argument again. OK fine, you have your opinions and no matter how idiotic and moronic they are, considering you refuse to argue with any evidence or fact, you are entitled to them.
However, you are not entitled to keep poking the crocodile with a stick More

Not forgetting that he's a fictional character. Like Noah, really. ctually, I'm a Rambologist. We believe he is real we predicted his second coming, and it
came to pass. It was called Rambo 2. Subsequently he returned a few more times after that.
He's always looking out for us Rambo is, well, as long as we're stranded in a Jungle with some
nasty machine-gun-wielding-smugglers nearby. More

Well of course you would say that. I just made a mockery of your avatar and possibly your role model.
If Rambo were in this debate, he'd take my side. Standing by the minority group and sticking it to the man.

A wiser man than me once said 'The number of words a person says is largely irrelevant, but you can usually surmise that the greater the number of words used, the less a person has to say, because the value of words (particularly the words of other people) is often lost on those who appear to believe the way to win an argument is to be last person still talking after everybody else has left the room'
