Dew rising needed sun. The refraction of light in water aka dew happens regardless of how the moisture is delivered to air and light.

Not in the sky. Dew does not rise that far in the Sun and the Sun was diffused before the flood as the water canopy screened the earth against what we have today. The planet was basically tropical in most areas.

God wants you to brush up on your science.

Evidence exists for a great deal of it. Not everything, as we were not there when a lot of it happened and a lot of things just don't exist now. Enough evidence exists to give reliability to it, except to those who do not want it to be so. No amount of evidence will change their minds.
Such as what? And no amount of evidence will change skeptics' minds because there is no evidence the Bible is true. Sorry.

I was trying to be nice and not say third grade science. Nice, alas was a brief illusion.

I gave you the opportunity to verify the fact that the Bible is the Word of God when I provided you with the information concerning the detailed, not vague, prophecies in the Book of Daniel which are historically verifiable as having been fulfilled, along with information concerning the fact that Daniel was not written after the fact. Your claimed interest turned out to be false, and you continue to mock the Bible. Think then what you wish.

I was responding to your post that claimed the bible is true because it says so in the bible. If a prophesy in the book of Daniel is your reason for believing the bible, why didn't you say so?

We already had the discussion about the book of Daniel ad nauseum. The language is so vague it could be interpreted to mean almost anything. Believers will see what they want to see.

Even if fulfilled, what would it really mean? That I should become Jewish? The OT was written by them long before Christianity came along, as you know.

The language is not vague. The reason why skeptics try to late date the Book of Daniel is because of the clarity of those prophecies. You didn't bother to study the information I provided you with. But I am not going to renew that discussion here. I brought it up only to show that such clear prophecy can come only from God, and that despite having been given information which verifies that the Bible is the Word of God you continue to mock as with your little napkin picture.

As for the Book of Revelation, it was written by the apostle John (and I realize that many disagree with that). He stated that his vision was given to him by Jesus. I believe him. You don't.

Most skeptics will remain skeptics. But the Bible is the Word of God regardless of what you skeptics think. I'm not spending any further time with this thread. It would be a waste of my time.
