heh some fundies say that the grand canyon is proof of a worldwide flood

.....seriously?

Does this mean that the tree with the fruit in my backyard is proof the Adam & Eve existed? LOOK AT THIS TREE! IT HAS FRUIT ON IT! Evidence that this is where Adam & Eve resided!!

/end sarcasm

Dudes- I do not want to involve myself in this religious discussion too extensively, but I must (due to my anal retentiveness and otherwise pointless college education) point out that "forty" in the context of biblical text does not actually mean forty as we think of it (four tens/one times four, etc).
From the OED: "Used indefinitely to express a large number." The story of the flood in the bible only means to convey that it rained for a really long time, not that it actually rained for forty days. You also must remember that in any ancient story the concept of the whole world is far and away removed from our contemporary concept of planet earth.

Yah 40x and 40z is the common way of saying "a really long time. The jews traveled through the desert for 40 years, flood happened for 40 days and 40 nights etc. The number 7 is also used a lot. Fake numbers are fake. Yet when they claim the earth is only 6k years old, that number they interpret literally.

Does it really matter at this point? lol

and I gotta say, I was NOT aware of the number 40 just meaning "a long time" from that time. Good information to know.

heh paying tithes was never money back then it was food and only farmers were required to pay it, but somehow it turned into 10% of all the money you come into contact with and it goes to the church....wonder how they get those $500,000 homes and rolls royces...matter of fact i never see those bigs churches pastors paying any tithes....

I'm not going to believe Noah's Ark has been found unless I see a picture that shows "Noah wuz here!1!1 lol" spray painted in Aramaic.
