    You tell me Mother Gaia is old. How impolite, you never ask a lady her true age. Mother Gaia is always 5000 years old. Look, she has the cosmetics bill to confirm that.

    The Genesis (first part of the bible) contains a timeline from Adam and forward, which put the flood 1429 years after the creation of earth. Going with the literal interpretation of course.

    It goes down to Moses IIRC but gets more annoying to keep track on the exact years fairly soon after the flood.

    Abraham is born 292 years after the flood. Stopped counting because it's get really hard to keep track, but Moses should be something like 200 years later.

    There's multiple bible versions on the net nowadays.

    Slam on historical sources (aka written sources) and if they counter with thier total age, point out that the tower of Babel is post flood and none seems to have noticed the flood (that wiped out 99.999% of the human population or something) in historical time...

    Can be worth noticing that Noah's grandfather died the same year of the flood and that Noah doesn't seem to have cared one bit about the drowning of his brothers and sisters.
    We are all aware that the senses can be deceived, the eyes fooled. But how can we be sure our senses are not being deceived at any particular time, or even all the time? Might I just be a brain in a tank somewhere, tricked all my life into believing in the events of this world by some insane computer? And does my life gain or lose meaning based on my reaction to such solipsism?

    You are talking to a guy who thinks the world is 5000 years old and you expect him to listen to reason.

    It only works in the United States because they have no History. All you need to do is go to South America, Mexican, Europe, Africa, Asia anywhere else to clearly see it is obviously older. The pyramids for example are 5000 years old.

    The New Testament overrides the Old Testament (the older norm is replaced by the newer one).
    So Jesus overrrides Leviticus (that's why Bible should be let with qualified theologians, not avarage believers).

    So how are we supposed to know what to ignore and what to not? Cherry-picking, anyone? Last time I checked, that was a logical fallacy, not a justification...

    I know, right? They (theologian apologists) are so much better at stuffing crap up our rumps and down our throats... I also must comment on how curiously peculiar it is that the religious folk so vehemently deride "ivory-tower, liberal, smug, no-common-sense" intellectuals, namely doctorate holders as well as professors while ignoring that any theologian is essentially of the same breed. Well, sort of. Most (although certainly not all) religious degrees are a joke. Especially due to the immense amounts of unaccredited religious post-secondary isntitutions in US.

    Religion is simple enough - making it complex only distorts what it originally began as. And seriously, what happened with the law "extraordinary claims necessitate extraordinary warrants"?




    And yes, thank you Azathoth . Generally speaking, if I turned to any form of Middle Eastern belief, it would be Judaism I would convert to. The least amount of contradictions. Still a great deal though.
