    It does seem that God Created Humans knowing that many would end up in Hell ... but also knowing that many would end up in Heaven!!!

    ... such is free-will ... and such is life!!!

    Is it some sort of sick game for god? But it's a pretty boring game if he already knows who is going to hell and who isn't...

    actually they're pre-determined for everyone, it's just that god is the only one that knows the numbers.

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    It is a very sad situation for God ... it breaks His heart when people reject Him and throw in their lot with Satan.
    ... but it delights Him when sinners repent and believe on Him to Save them!!!

    Salvation is a win:win for God and Man ... and the rejection of Salvation is a lose:lose situation for everyone!!!:)

    God is the Creator of the Universe ... and we all owe our lives to Him.

    What an utterly nihilisitic worldview. Fortunately there is no evidence for this other than the book of fairy stories commonly known as the bible

    He does giveth ... and He does taketh away.
    We all ultimately die ... and God allows this.
    Why do people feel the need for ye olde English when talking about god. What;s wrong with plain old 'He gives' instead of "He does giveth". Does it maketh it soundeth more importante this way? Anyway, what is the point of this waffle? So we all eventually die. I don't need some poorly transcribed 2000 year old ramblings to know this.

    God stated that Creation had become so corrupt that He decided to wipe nearly all of it out in the Flood.
    Charming fellow this god. He sounds much like an incompetent IT support person - you know the idea 'something is not working, so lets just reboot the whole system and see if that fixes it'. Seems pretty amazing that out of the millions of people supposedly alive at the time, exactly 2 were worthy of being spared. It all sounds sounds like a badly composed morality tale that some joker made up to entertain his kids. It couldn't be that could it?
    I don't understand why this was the case ... I only know that it was, because he said so.
    This may be the first time you have ever admitted ignorance on any topic. Well done.

    In my pro-life worldview, I certainly don't believe that anyone should murder their children ... or anybody elses!!!!
    'cept good old filicidal god, of course.
    ... so your hypocritical fear for my children is completely mis-placed!!!:(
    I don't think so. I doubt that you have any murderous tendencies, but that is not what I meant. I imagine that it could be quite frightening for a child to be told that it is OK for an all powerful being to murder his own offspring.

    It breaks his heart? How does it break his heart when he created those very people who reject him and knew that they would reject him.. that makes no sense JC!

    It is entirely probable that people will produce a net average 2 children each when they are trying to 'go forth and multiply' ... like I have said a woman is capable of producing 20 children if she produces one child every 18 months

    Birth rate is irrelevant. Survival to reproduction is the only statistic that matters (the one that produces growth rate) and what you are supposing (when someone else corrects the maths for you of course) has never been found in the history of human. Which is why there wasn't billions of people in the time of Jesus.

    You also still don't get that if a person has 2 children then they DO NOT INCREASE THE POPULATION SIZE FROM THE PARENTS GENERATION.

    But then you don't really believe any of the stuff you are spouting either, do you ;)

    ... because the 'Egyptian artifacts' were produced by post-flood Egyptians.

    So the the writers of Egyptian history wanted to eradicate the flood from history, as did all the nations except one.

    Did Shem not tell his children about it? And did they not tell theirs?

    (How did animals that can't fly get to Australia?)

    So, the Sumerians must also be a work of fiction too, huh?

    No Egyptians, no Sumerians, etc. but Canaan had been under Egyptian hegemony for a couple of centuries before the Hebrews arrived there.

    That means that about 150 years after the flood, one of Noah's great-great-great-grandchildren began to become the Egyptian nation. 150 years after that, Egypt had become an empire which had conquered many other nation including the land of Canaan.

    That is 150 years for one man to become the entire population of Egypt such that its kingdom dominated the then known world.

    Remember, according to the Bible figures, 130 years after creation there were four people living only one of whom was a female and one of whom was a baby boy.

    It must have happened some other way dude. Your way just doesn't work.

    Nah Wick the thing about JC's nonsense here is that he said that if every
    person, every person, had two children on average then it would work.
    You have to think about it in a certain way for it to make sense, I think
    it's confusing at first alright. If person X has two children then that's
    fine, but JC's axiom - I think it should be called the axiom of complete
    bullsiht - states that every person must have two kids so if you think
    about it the significant other of person X, lets call him/her/it for brevity,
    must also have two kids. So you get a doubling population. Furthermore
    the axiom of bullsiht included the possibility that 20 kids could be born
    & 18 die for all we know, all we need is at least 2. Finally, the nail in this
    rock-solid piece of logic is that 8 people were on the original magic wooden
    submarine so that there was the possibility of each having two kids as
    there were enough fantasy people there to (possibly incestually) kickstart
    all of life.

    Still, the whole thing is complete and utter nonsense, you have to ignore
    a hell of a lot of common sense to think this is a coherent chain of logic in
    the real world - & you simply have to be completely & utterly stupid to
    think that this was enough to repopulate the entire world in all of the
    geographically dispirate places they existed (for example). Of course
    I could be wrong, I mean this magic wooden submarine may have, for all
    I know, dropped Gorrilla's off in desolate parts of Africa, or Kangaroo's off
    in Australia at some point. I haven't checked my bible thoroughly enough
    to find the passages that inform me of these events unfortunately :(

    Don't worry my son, time enough to be edumacated to post 5000 yet! :cool:



    Btw, I have to give it to Hovind here, he said some fantastic things in his
    first lecture. I didn't watch it all yet but he spoke of the sandwich principle
    in his first lecture - sandwiching a negative statement in between two
    positive statements - & it really is genius. Such an instructive way to
    teach people. Also he is very astute as regards capturing the attention of
    a crowd, i.e. telling jokes or making witty statements to capture the
    attention. Highly recommended in that regard - I haven't gotten to any of
    the bat-siht crazy creationism yet :p Still, I can see why he is able to
    deceive people as he is a particularly good public speaker.

    Abortion and murder are things that Humans do to each other ... and as we have not created each other we therefore don't have the authority to deliberately kill each other, except in self-defence!!!

    God, on the other hand is the sovereign creator of all life ... and He is the ultimate source of justice (including the penalty of death) in the Universe.

    He is also the ultimate source of mercy for all who repent and believe on Him to Save them.:)

    Of course we create each other - it's called human reproduction, stupid:D. You can't have it both ways. Either we have free will, in which case reproduction is an act of creation by humans, or we don't have free will, in which case god is responsible for everything, including all the bad stuff (at least if you believe that god exists).

    So, following your own logic to its conclusion, if we do have free will then we create life through reproduction. In that case, according to your abhorrent philosophy, we should have the same authority to kill and murder our offspring as you claim that god has. If we don't have free will then it must be god who is responsible for all the killing, murder and general bad stuff that happens.

    The thing is though that this comes from someone who claims that the Egyptian empire was built from scratch in only 150 years or so.

    The problem with that is that it assume one person of the parent generation can't share a child.

    Which of course is nonsense, you have to have shared child because it takes two people to have a child.

    What JC actually means is that there are 2 children for every 1 parent. But that by definition means that each person has to have 4 children, because 2 parents will share one count on their "children".

    Just more evidence (if more was needed) that JC doesn't have a clue what he is talking about, and clearly doesn't have a college level education in this stuff as he has falsely claimed many times. But then he is a troll pretending to be a Christian, so that is hardly surprising.

    The whole conversation is nonsense, it's like a post I seen in the physics
    room a while ago about getting free energy. Yes, you could get free
    energy according to the set up of what was proposed, but you'd have to
    break the laws of physics to do so. If we break the rules then what
    is being said is plausible. It's the same with this trash-argument about
    Noah & his mystery boat, if we abandon all forms of sense & reason then
    yes they (possibly partially incestually) repopulated the world.

    But I'm just saying that since JC said they could have 20 kids in their
    lifetime, which is technically true & not unknown, all you need is to
    average out two kids per person & it holds. You're right though, the
    whole concept is nonsense & a hilarious aspect of JC's argument is
    that he must accept polygamy or at least extra-marital relations (i.e.
    children from two marriages at least) for his concept to hold :D

    I really like that, that he would rather the human species to be built
    up from a bunch of cheating whores & dinosaur killing pimps (as christians
    would see such people, not me!)
    rather than accept the evidence for evolution.

    You are confusing creation and reproduction. A photocopier can mindlessly reproduce a page of writing ... but the mind of an author is required to create the writing in the first place.
    The author owns the writing and can do as s/he pleases with their own writing ... while the photocopier ... and anybody using the photocopier have no legal right to the copyright ownership of the text.
    Equally, we can reproduce ourselves ... but it was God who created Mankind in the first place.

    But that isn't a workable model because it is the women who produce children. The number of men is almost academic.

    If there is one man and one woman then the population growth-rate through them will be same as if there were ninety-nine men and one woman; ninety-eight of the men are redundant and not reproducing.

    No?

    And your population formula equates to P=2(2^n)-1 where 'P' is population a 'n' is number of generations. We have to double 2^n and subtract 1 to account for the fact that no-one dies.
