TBiR:
So, just how do you people explain where all the water went after the flood?
It covered the whole world over Mt. Everest. It must has gone SOMEPLACE!
Well since your mythical "global flood" never happened, we don't have to worry about that.
Oh, by the way, I ran the numbers on the thermodynamic exchanges involved in the formation of a vapour canopy containing enough water to flood the Earth to a depth of 10,000 metres with the ensuing rainfall. The heat energy extracted by the water vapour from the surroundings would cause the ambient temperature to plummet to temperatures more normally associated with Pluto, so that would bring a halt to the process long before it got off the ground. Not least because the breathable gases in the atmosphere would have well and truly liquefied and in some cases, turned into solids.
However, if we assume that this vapour canopy got off the ground despite all of these objections, then you have the reverse heat problem to face when it rains. Apart from the dumping of all that heat back into the surroundings upon condensation, there's the additional matter of dumping kinetic energy as heat once the rain hits the surface. Add those two heat exchange processes together and the ambient temperature rises to around the melting point of Copper. That's only taking into account heat exchanges involving the specific heat capacity by mass of water and the basic kinetic energy of the falling rain. If you factor in additional enthalpy considerations such as heat of vaporisation/condensation, the temperature extremes are even greater. But then, if people like you, TBiR, had actually bothered to attend a science class and pay attention to what was being taught therein instead of filling your minds with the mental kapok of fundie religious horseshit, you'd know all of this.
PntL:
why cant you just belief last time it was water but the last days are coming and athiest will die with all the other unsaved in the fires
So your recruiting campaign for your religion is based upon fear?. Why am I not surprised?
I suppose it hasn't occurred to you that apart from the many other reasons your religion is singularly unattractive to many here with functioning brain cells, the existence of smug, self-satisfied, self-righteous, sanctimonious, Pharisaic assholes like you as supposed examples of the best your religion has to offer in terms of humanity, simply provides yet another reason why many here would rather insert venomous spiders into their underpants than give your religion anything other than the widest possible berth?
PntL again:
obviously not since we are still here anything is possible for God thats what makes Him God. your "science" knows nothing the Bible has the answers you need
Tell you what, why don't you put your money where your mouth is? Since science so obviously "knows nothing" in your eyes, and the bible has all the answers, stay home if you develop appendicitis and look in your precious bible for the cure instead of bothering with those ignorant doctors who wasted their lives acquiring actual medical qualifications and learning how human bodies actually work, as opposed to spending their academic careers wallowing in the theological pornography of bad apologetics. We'll see how long you hold out shall we, see if, for example, you manage to stick to your precious bible with "all the answers you need" until your appendicitis becomes a fulminating peritonitis and septicaemia? I'm sure you wouldn't want to bother yourself with such things as surgery or antibiotics, after all , science knows nothing in your eyes, your bible has all the answers!
PntL again:
why should we learn science when science changes every day seriously people are just making it up to spite god and remove Him from our lives
Oh look, someone else who doesn't understand the basic principle of adjusting one's theories to fit reality, as opposed to the world view you have, which summarily dismisses any part of reality that fails to conform to doctrine. If you had been in my classes when I was attending school, you would have earned straight F grades for the whole of your miserable school career. Let me guess, you're homeschooled, you think Conservapedia is a legitimate source of information, and you think Kent Hovind is a martyr? Figures if that's the case.
Oh, by the way, everyone, afdave is having his ass handed to him on a plate on other topics both at IIDB and RDF as well. He's left some epic trainwreck threads in his wake on various bulletin boards trying to persuade people that the flood was real. This thread at RDF is one of the latest and shows that our resident creationist energiser bunny is still hard at it.
