How can someone who is all knowing and all powerful do something that they'd later regret?

@BibleData
1 no
2 no way of knowing
3 depends what the author wrote

@MasterLee Not a remarkable answer in any way. You answered half the questions with baseless speculation. Nothing solved.

@BibleData same as you.

1 prove god exists

Full stop

@MasterLee Idiot. Which god? There are billions of gods, which one do you want me to "prove" exists and what difference would it make anyway. That's like saying 'prove' Frodo Baggins exists. He doesn't have to. He exists as a fictional character. You can't 'prove' what you had for lunch yesterday. It doesn't mean anything.

@BibleData pick one. Any would be fine. They are all fictional.

@MasterLee I'll pick two. Eric Clapton and Kim Jong-un.

@BibleData worship away

@MasterLee I don't worship those gods, I'm just giving you the proof you asked for.

@BibleData thanks for playing

@MasterLee Thanks for losing.

@BibleData in your dreams.

@BibleData If the flood destroyed all living organisms, that would include plants. Noah did not take any plants on the ark, so how did plants survive the flood? The Bible’s silence on this proves that the flood story was made up, and the writer simply forgot to mention plants.

@LeopoldBloom I'm sorry, but I just don't understand the reasoning you have to use to come to this conclusion. From reading other posts you've made, to me it sounds like you are just repeating poorly constructed atheistic propaganda you've encountered somewhere. That's a shame, really. I wish more thought could be put into it. The Biblical account of the flood doesn't present all living organisms as having been destroyed, it presents their being preserved.

And what scientific reasoning do you have to incorporate to necessitate the inclusion of plants in the account? Which, by the way, it did with an olive branch. The plants survived the flood with no trouble.

@BibleData I've never come across the question of how plants survived the flood. I came up with it on my own. Just because you're regurgitating propaganda you've absorbed from Creationist sites doesn't mean everyone else is doing that. Some of us are capable of independent thought.

You're wrong about the Biblical account of the flood not saying all living things weren't destroyed. [b] "Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark."[/b] Genesis 7:23. You may want to gain familiarity with the book you claim to revere before misquoting it.

If "every living thing on the face of the earth" died, that would include olive trees. In Muslim tradition, the dove brought the olive branch from Paradise. But this wouldn't have indicated that there was any land on earth. Christians simply ignore this contradiction.

The logical conclusion is that the writer simply forgot to mention plants.

@LeopoldBloom What is your argument? Surely it isn't that the writer forgot. If he "forgot" then it is irrelevant, and that's true to some extent for the reasons I gave. Plants survived the flood. There isn't any reason not to believe that. Bodies of water have been drained after many years and the land plants rebounded with no problem.

@BibleData The Bible explicitly says that every living thing on the earth died in the flood. Since plants are alive, that includes them. The fact that plants can re-seed a flooded area from elsewhere doesn't mean being under hundreds of feet of water is good for them.

So basically, you're a Biblical literalist until someone points out a contradiction, and then you just start making stuff up.

@LeopoldBloom It doesn't matter what the Bible says. If they died they came back to life. And I wasn't talking about re-seeding.

You haven't pointed out any contradiction you just said the writer "forgot."

@BibleData If it doesn't matter what the Bible says, then the simplest explanation is that there was no worldwide flood. There were local floods back then as there are today, and any areas denuded of vegetation would have been re-seeded from surrounding intact areas.

Plants don't come back to life after they're dead. You're grasping at straws.
