    If you knew the number of people that I do who have encountered angels (both good and bad), sometimes in life saving situations, you might not be so quick to stick with believing only what you can see.

    Nobody can take you serious when you call the theory of evolution a fact and state that there is no evidence for intelligent design. In fact, there are thousands upon thousands of creationist scientists who have provided multitudes of evidence for intelligent design. Now if you think the evidence can be interpreted differently, then fine, but don't deny the fact that evidence can logically be shown to support intelligent design as well.

    And what experiments have shown one organism turning into another? Contrary to the lies that scientists so-called would have you believe, the fossil record is not complete and shows at best, the flimsiest of evidence for evolution. On the other hand, it does show remarkable and massive evidence of a worldwide flood.

  10. Best Popcorn Maker on Scientists Solve Riddle of Unpopped Popcorn · · Score: 0

    The West Bend Stir Crazy is the absolute best way to make homemade popcorn. It looks like George Jetson's car. You pour in some oil. Then you pour in the popcorn seeds. Put the lid on, then sit back and wait for some delicious popcorn. As the name implies, it stirs the kernels and oil the whole time. You can even put some butter on the lid (where some holes are placed for this purpose) and let it melt on top of the popcorn as it's made.

    My question is. What makes the premium popcorn kernels cost more (and pop better) than the cheapo store brand? They just now discovered what makes some popcorn better than ever so what has been making the difference all these years before? How did Orville know how to get better kernels?

    Firstly, mankind was not always evil. Secondly, God does not only create beings that He knows will worship Him. True worship can only come from beings that have the choice of whether or not to worship. I believe there is ample evidence for a worldwide flood.

    Every human on the planet had an opportunity to get on board the ship. Noah preached for 120 years. Not a single person took God up on His offer. These weren't men who lived relatively good lives but rejected God. These were men who thought evil continually. I don't want to imagine the horrors these people inflicted on one another.

    A local flood would not require a large ship when one could just have the animals walk to another region. A large ship would not have been built either because the inhabitants of said region would have been unprepared. No, I'm talking about a worldwide flood. It is no coincidence that cultures across the planet have their own flood story. From the book: (Ed Davis has been led far up a mountain path) An angular object, strangely out of place among ice-polished boulders, emerged like a sleepy leviathan floating up from the abyss. And suddenly there it stood! A huge, rectangular structure lying on its side, like a battleship stuck on a sandbar. Oh, my God! thought Davis. It's enormous! A few seconds more and he could see its full form and detail. It's bow, partially covered by a talus of snow and ice, appeared blunt and battered, yet suggested a rugged, majestic symmetry. There could be no doubt about it; this had to be a wodden ship, somehow marooned high on an ice-capped mountain. Davis blinked his eyes, then realized he was looking into the craft, its dark, yawning maw easily stretching one hundred feet into the cleft of ice. Twisted, gnarled timbers, splintered up and out where the hull had split apart, framed the hole. "Look down here," Abas instructed, pointing at another object further down the gorge. Davis turned to see, about a half-mile from the main section, another massive structure settled in among the boulders, its timbers ripped and protruding at one end, exactly as the first. Both pieces had the same freezer-burned look of antiquity. They had clearly once been connected. Further down the gorge lay still more pieces of the ship, some sections wedged between rocks, some bathed in a torrent of glacial snowmelt. The rare July heat wave had shaved the ice back just enough to expose what had lain entombed for the better part of the centry. "For ten, twenty years at a time," Abas said, "the ark lies invisible under the ice. Then suddenly it appears." Davis rubbed his eyes, gazingi deeper still into the cross-section cutaway of the main hull. He wondered at the craft's intricate interior design, comprising three distinct floors, stacked one on top of another. Between floors lay a dense gridwork of frail-looking partitions and narrowed walkways, some of which seemed to have collapsed. Atop the upper deck sat a sort of raised roof, an elongated ridge running the better part of the ship's length. This contained the crew's living quarter, Abas said-about forty-eight compartments in all. Years earlier, during another unseasonably warm summer, Abas said he and his family had explored the ark and probed its bowels, disocvering a mesmerizing array of primitive wooden stalls and cages. Interestingly, he recalled, the wood both within and without exhibited scant decay. In most cases it felt hard as rock.

    No, there has never been a TV special on the Zagaros Mountains being the mountains of Noah. The only reference to Noah's Ark you will find on TV refers to searches on Mt. Ararat in Turkey. You heard it from he first, 1gw. Don't be surprised once the search can begin once more in Iran.

    The guy who saw Noah's Ark was not a Christian. He pretty much kept the story to himself and a few close friends for 40 years. Give the book a try. You would be surprised at how well NW Iran parallels with what is spoken of in Genesis. There is even a giant vineyard there called Noah's vineyard. There's an incident described in the Bible involving Noah and wine not too long after the flood. I'm very confident the ark will be discovered in our lifetime. Of course the search has been put on hold since 2001 but as soon as some semblance of stability returns to that region, the search will resume.

    Yes I seriously believe it and I also believe that the ark will be discovered in the not too distant future. The book I mentioned tells about the authors' attempts to retrace the footsteps of a man who was taken to Noah's Ark in WW2 by locals that he befriended. The man was even shown artifacts recovered from the ark and passed a lie detector test without so much as flinching. The problem is that the man was driven several days from base camp and went up a long mountain path in subfreezing weather so the effort to find exactly where he went has been difficult. However the authors have confirmed the presence of Noah's Ark with locals. However the locals aren't so interested in showing a White man where the ark is.

    People say that migration began with Adam and Eve from Eden. However, all but 8 humans were killed in the worldwide flood which destroyed all evidence of antediluvian migration. Our most recent common ancestor is Noah. The flood occured in approximately 2350 BC. So where did Noah's family migrate from?

    The mountains of Ararat. Oh, Turkey, you say? No, the term Ararat was given to a peak in Turkey in more modern times. The mountains of Ararat are actually the modern day Zagaros Mountains of NW Iran. The tallest peak of the Zagaros is known as Mt. Sabalon which in antiquity was called "Noah's Mountain". There's a very interesting book called "In Search of the Lost Mountains of Noah" by Robert Cornuke and David Halbrook which provides much evidence of the Zagaros Mountains being the true mountains of Ararat. I highly recommend picking up a copy.

    Actually there are a large number of Christians who believe that the 7 day creation week (which turned a barren rock (planet) into Earth and in which life was created) took place about 6000 years ago but that the creation of the universe took place long before that.

    In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth. (This is just quick historical information that sets the stage for what actually took place 6000 years ago in verse 2)

    Notice the term "Now" being used because what happened in verse 1 was long before.

    2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

    3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.

    This is referred to as "The Gap Theory".
