As it turns out, it wasn't even a UPS package. The caller didn't mention the name of the shipping company, but I assumed it was UPS because that was the shipping option I requested. The fault lay entirely with the sender, and not with UPS.

"Well put" is not a thing you say in response to an irrational, exclamation point-laden piece o tripe.

Practically every single one documents a "great flood" that took everything.

Most of the 'great floods' described in ancient folklore were entirely local. There's no mystery here; a great, rare flood that destroys or severely damages a village would easily become part of the village's folklore. It'd only be hundreds or thousands of years later that the story would mutate in the retelling so that suddenly people think it's about a worldwide flood, a la the Noachian flood.

Dr. Hugh Ross is a creationist suppositionalist. That is, rather than use evidence to determine whether or not the Biblical creation occurred, he begins with the assumption that it did and looks for evidence to support his belief. This is not credible science.

Moreover, he's a nuclear safety engineer. The science involved in anything nuclear is the exact same science which proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that this planet alone is around 4.5 billion years old. Radiometric dating, anyone? Seriously, this guy would actually have to accept the concept of stable radioactive half-lives, and thus radiometric dating, just to do his job!

I am not joking in the slightest either.

Then you are an idiot.

People like edbo wouldn't be getting thumbs down if they weren't trying to invade the public school system with this patent nonsense.

" People studying the bible have attempted to calculate the age of the earth from clues within the text but this is merely speculation by man. That speculation was placed in the margin of the King James version which somehow gave it credibility but the Bible and the writings of the Bible do NOT state an age of the earth so why is it that you claim it does."

Actually, no, you're completely wrong. The age of the earth believed by young-earth creationists comes directly from the lineages mentioned in the Bible. Every member of the lineage from Adam to Jesus is mentioned, and throughout the Bible all of their ages are mentioned. From there it's just a matter of basic addition to figure out how long the world existed between Adam and Jesus, and we know about how long ago Jesus was born. Voila, the age of the earth.

So maybe before you go shooting off at the mouth, you'd do better to actually investigate what the hell you're talking about. Granted, it's all a bunch of insane BS, but the numbers are there.

'What many of us know as "science" is just the FORM of science based on the "modern western" worldview.'

There is no such thing as 'western science.' Science is science, period. What you're doing is magical nonsense.

This is utter rubbish.

"Such remedies can’t cure disease; they can only manage and control it."

Funny, it seems to have cured smallpox quite well. And it can cure all manner of diseases, in specific people.
