There is the answer!
Six simple sentences filled with promises by the word of God.

It works for me.

Whose fault is it ?? Explain it to me in simple terms.
No, I do NOT understand why you should be treated any differently, given an exciting adventurous life by God, while millions of children are left defenseless by your God. Without an explanation, one can only conclude that there is no God in control of our lives. An all-loving omnipotent God would not ignore the needs of innocent children while providing you an exciting adventurous life.

So, you are asserting that all of these children are "ungodly", and that is the reason they are ignored by your God?

No the problem here is that YOU just don't listen or understand.

Satan has full control of this world.

But you can't possibly accept that because you don't even believe in any God.

so around and around and around you go - trying to blame someone for all of the problems on earth.

It must be God's fault because He should do something about it & He is not listening to you!

He has different plans - and you just can't or won't accept that so you insist There is no God!

You were the one who stated that the ungodly are punished. So the children must be ungodly by your own words.

No, no, no! Nobody is finding anyone to blame, but, by you own claim, these children are being punished for not having God in their lives. That would mean God is punishing them. So he would be to blame. However the difference between the religious and the non-religious is we know there are problems in the world, and we will do our best to help, after being lucky enough to find ourselves in the UK, USA. What we don't do is pray. Prayer is a way for the religious to feel like they are helping, by not doing anything at all.

He planned to give AIDS to millions of African kids?! He seems like the guy I want to follow. Makes me sick.

What does the above have to do with "How tall was Noah?"

The Bible doesn't really say how tall he was.
But it is interesting that the older cubit was around 21.3 inches and after the flood it was around 17 inches. But this does not prove how tall Noah was.

Lots of things changed after the historic world-wide flood. The length of the year prior to the flood was at 360 days but after the flood the earth was pulled further out of its orbit to a 356 day orbit.

I'm answering his previous points. So, why have you singled my post out for scrutiny? Yet, ignored the previous posts by Atkutuq?! Must be because he believes too. Makes no sense otherwise.

A flood cannot change the length of a day.

Where do you also get the other 9 days we have now from? What made up story will you tell us happened to produce 9 more days?! I was always taught a year was 365.25 days long (Reason we have a leap year). You are missing 9 days. Explain.

I mistyped. It went from 360 days pre-flood to 365 days post flood.

You can read here: The Mars-Earth Wars, by Patten and Windsor how Mars pulled the earth out of a 360 day per year orbit to our current 365.25 days per year.

This occurred at the time of the world-wide flood in Noah's day.

IN case you haven't noticed: or perhaps forgotten what happened to Jesus - He was offered all of the kingdoms of this world by Satan; Remember what was said here?? Satan said I own all of this - It is mine to give to whomever I wish!


Right there is the person you should be focused on blaming. Nope you are going to ignore the simple truth and twist & spin it and make it all my fault and that of God's!

Whoa - you seriously need to back up and re-read a few times the Gospels and figure out what is really going on here in this world.

WoWoW - That's all I can say - Whew (shaking my head in disbelief).
Many would rather blame God that listen to the explanation God gave about why there are such problems and what he intends to do to fix it. For many more they can say it means no God exists so they can do as they please. Neither course has ever changed a thing as to the pain and suffering of mankind. That thinking basically reflects Adams answer to God: "That woman YOU gave me ...". Blame God and everyone else except ....
