Conversation with An Atheist

[Matthias]

How much time would Jesus spend speaking with someone who has rejected him?

 

[CoachedByChrist]

Mancunian, I respect that you're still here having this conversation. Your original post was honest. You tried to pray, you asked for a sign, and nothing felt like an answer. That's a real question and it deserves better than jokes about ark logistics. I'll be straight with you: the mocking on both sides isn't going to convince anybody of anything. If you ever want to talk about what you actually experienced instead of defending a position, I'm in.

Noah had over 100 years to build the ark...do you think Noah and his family built it alone or do you think Noah had help from the population around him? Noah may have contracted out the pitch making guy...who cover the ark inside and outside with the watertight pitch. Do you think they used one coat of pitch or two coats to get the job done?

Sure, why not? I'll grant ya they didn't have Australian Airlines back then...but I bet some of the marsupials hopped their way to Australia...one jump at a time.

Is that all they eat?

I would imagine like you apparently do....all the sea water was mixed evenly....and salt water can't stratify in the oceans like it does today.

Bad news if you're a rat...right? All the snakes, foxes, cats and other animals simply walked away from...or if your a snake slithered away from...such a tasty meal.

Over a hundred years eh? How on earth do you square the ridiculously long lives of biblical characters with reality?
900 year old people, we know that's not remotely possible.

Giant pandas eat up to 50 pounds (23 to 38 kg) of bamboo daily, which makes up 99% of their total diet. Koalas survive on a specialized diet consisting almost entirely of toxic, fibrous, and low-nutrition eucalyptus leaves.

Full grown giant pandas?

Go to Ark Encounter. It shows you how it was done. Why couldn’t evolution happen after the flood AND at a much faster rate than theists suppose? A couple of juveniles od every kind giving rise to the diversity we see today? Unbelief.

It was a reply to crowcross... He asked about what Pandas and Koalas eat.

Evolution takes a long time because it relies on tiny, random genetic changes that must slowly spread through a population across many generations.

Key Reasons for a Slow Pace
• Generation Time: Genetic changes can only pass to offspring during reproduction. Animals with long lifespans, like humans or elephants, take years or decades to have babies, meaning changes take thousands of years to show up.

• Gradual Accumulation: Complex physical traits do not appear overnight from a single mutation. They require many small, useful changes to build up step-by-step over long periods.
