OK. Here is another challenge for the few theists who visit here.
Show me hard empirical evidence in your religious texts which prove those ancient Absolutists knew anything about geology and/or volcanology. Remember, geology covers such subjects as geodynamics and geomorphology, both of which are further sub-divided...

All I know is that the Grand Canyon was caused by the force of Noah's flood, as were the Carlsbad Caverns in California. It's just scientific fact. I read it in Of Pandas and People the only science book worth reading. I bought a copy on my last trip to Ken Hamm's Ark, the very same Ark Noah saved all the animals in. You believe in your science books and I will believe in mine.
@Cog
Aw, hell.... Apparently it is going to take a bit of time for that tooth to properly take root. Meanwhile, do your best to resist that alter-ego. Be strong, man! Be strong!
Hard evidence! Rocks! Funny!
Having completely changed every belief I've ever had since your last comment to me and having a real geology degree from a real university from a real country I have now decided to completely disregard geology and instead be entirely lead by the shapes of various fruits.
Geology is a difficult and intricate science. Its the planet after all; there is quite a fair amount of detail after billions of years of geological and biological history. If you want you can even apply it to other planets and, if we had that level of data, other solar systems.
But, then again.. have you seen the banana? If you haven't let me describe it. Its yellow. Like the Simpsons. Awesome or what!
I go with that over my science degree any day of the week. Other things are also a perfect fit. My key into my lock - definitely not accidental. Grapes. So smoooth.
I'd say all of that disproves geology.
I suppose if I was being honest I'd say I have some doubts about my new beliefs. Geology was hard. I remember reading alot of books, or at least there being many in the library. You could certainly use it to explain alot more than fruit shape generally explains about planetary history; geology has been good for society in terms of economically accessing raw materials and fuels. More accurate than using strawberries as thrown pointers divining the way to the next deposit of ore. But I think that as much as the world needs gallium or lithium to fuel the vast scale of its future energy transition, all of you, just look at the shape of that banana and you've got to just KNOW that the bible is true.
After that, you really don't need any more proof.
@Uk Re: Bananas
Outstanding! Now you're getting the hang of it! I knew you'd come around! Best argument I've heard all day! Bravo! Bravo! *clap-clap-clap-clap*
By the way, have you ever considered the vast significance of........ The Raspberry?.... *cue dramatic music score*
The Ham-Comfort-Pat Robinsons might also explain why we don't have volcanos in Oz when we are so tolerant of gays and same sex marriage, abortion clinics and their patrons and so intolerant of clerics involved in child abuse.....then again, a continent sized desert might be punishment enough, I can live with that...
Don't forget the most evil animal of them all, the Drop Bear.
Aren't many of the world's most venomous species indigenous to Australia?
God's vengeance?
Ahem...You can't argue with facts.
I feel dirty after typing that.
Of course! A human culture 65,000 years old? Animals so unlike anything else in the world the only explanation can be evolution? Of course it's God's vengeance!
*Grinseed, shhhh! We do have volcanoes- dormant ones. FFS, don't tell Ham-Comfort-Pat Robinson! *
I thought the most evil animal of all was the Pope.
Nope. It's drop bears.
Attachments
Attach Image/Video?:
I just put a picture of the pope and a drop bear side by side and I could not tell the difference. Perhaps we are both right?
Perhaps the pope IS a drop bear? Perhaps the people who worry about reptilian shape shifters are barking up the right tree, but at the wrong branch?
ROFLMAO
Love the comments so far.
However, one mistake: Carlsbad Caverns are in New Mexico.
Thanks for the laughs y'all.

Ahem.......
Godammit. I have been driving around Carlsbad for a week now. Why in the hell didn't you tell me that before! How in the hell do I get to New Mexico from here! I don't even have a frigging New Mexico Map. Hell, There goes my summer vacation!
Must have been that left toin at Albuqoikee.

There is so much science in the holy books that it's not funny. For example, you get 72 horis in heaven. For 1000 years no one knew why you'd get 72, but science is revealing why. There are 71 genders, so you get one from each gender plus a goat. Only God could have revealed this. Allahu Akbar!
In addition, there's feminism. Islam promotes feminism like no other religion: https://questioningthedata.wordpress.com/2018/03/01/islam-and-feminism/
More science:
Narrated Abu Huraira: "Allah's Apostle said, "If a fly falls in the vessel of any of you, let him dip all of it (into the vessel) and then throw it away, for in one of its wings there is a disease and in the other there is healing (antidote for it) i e. the treatment for that disease." (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 71, Number 673)"
Narrated Abu Huraira: "The Prophet said "If a house fly falls in the drink of anyone of you, he should dip it (in the drink), for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure for the disease." (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 537)"
So, Muhammad knew more about science than scientists 1000 years later. http://www.answering-christianity.com/hadiths_of_the_fly.htm
Also, another scientific thing Mohammad knew is that camel urine and milk was a really great thing to drink if you're sick. Science has since proven this: https://islamqa.info/en/83423
@Glacier Re: Camel urine
Dammit! After reading about all the incredible health benefits of drinking camel piss, I have looked all over Amazon and a few other sites trying to find camel urine for sale! And guess what! NOBODY seems to have any! And I do believe I know why. It is a world-wide government conspiracy to keep me and others from enjoying the fantastic curing properties of that inexpensive and NATURAL miracle juice. Personally, I blame drug companies and the FDA. By golly, I should have the RIGHT to drink camel pee if I want to! Oh, I am soooo gonna write to my congressman about this!... *storms off to office and slams door shut*
Heck... Send me a hundred bucks and I'll send you a jar.
I'm the guy in the middle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCPhqCrhkBA
Check this out. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3370464/Saudi-authorities-close-...
In other words, Saudi authorities didn't shut him down for selling camel urine, but rather because he was using his own piss!

Yummy.. I think that if we pooled our money we could make a killing with the Muslim population in America. They are probably starving for the stuff. Last time I looked we just didn't have a lot of camels in America. A lot of camel toe but no camel.
It is disturbing that a sizeable proportion of the world get their rocks off believing that miles of strata were formed in some global flood that happened a few thousand years ago.
Another scientific fact: Semen cames from between the backbone and the ribs. This is so advanced that science hasn't even discovered this yet.
Sura 86:6-8" "Now let man but think from what he is created! He is created from a drop emitted -Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs."
Checkmate atheists.
@Glacier
I just spat coffee all over myself.
Don't feel so band. If I'd been drinking, I would have spat it also.
However, I have an unwritten commandment: "Thou shalt not be drinking when also reading forum posts."

SCIENTISTS DISCOVER THE ORIGINS OF SEMEN
So let’s examine the process of emission, where all the components of semen are joined. Sperm is stored in the epididymis, which is not in the testicles, but above them. The Sperm which comprises 2 to 5% of the seminal fluid, , travels from the epididymis up through the Vas Deferens duct and around the bladder. Together, the seminal vesicle and the prostate gland produce 90% of the fluid in semen. This mixture travels through the prostate and is joined by mucus from the bulbourethral glands, just below the prostate.
It is at this point that semen is fully formed, comprising both the sperm and the seminal fluids. As we can see, just prior to coming out of the body, all components of semen are mixed near the prostate, which is centered in the body, between the backbone and the ribs, or between the spine and the chest, which is between the back and front of the abdomen or torso, and most certainly not in the testicles or in the lower body at all.
Someone might object by saying: the ribs are too high to say “the prostate is between the backbone & the ribs.” To this objection, we answer that: the head is still between the shoulders even though it is too high, & the genitals are still between the legs, even though they are too high.
OMG!!! The Qua'aran is right! Allah is real.
It's the SEMEN ARGUMENT FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD.
