2. "Where did all the flood waters go? Hebrew scholar John Whitcomb writes: 'Even as the beginning of the flood year was characterized by supernatural intervention, so also the end of the flood was brought about by a stupendous miracle of God. Apart from this, the waters would have covered the earth forever, and all terrestrial-like would soon have come to an end.
'Since the breaking up of the fountains of the great deep involved the uplift of ocean floors (Genesis 7:11), the stopping of these *fountains* must refer to a reversal of this action (Genesis 8:2), whereby new and much deeper ocean basins were formed to serve as vast reservoirs for the two oceans which were separated from each other by the atmospheric expanse before the flood (Genesis 1:7). A natural result of this subsidence was that *the waters returned from off the face of the earth continually* permitting continents to emerge from the oceans again, as they had done on the third day of creation.

*Thank you* FINALLY
Instead of in the future trying to argue faith against science, simply state "God did it" instead of relying on increasingly shaky science ala answersingenisis, that only uses loosely supporting evidence and simply disregards all the evidence that proves biblical theories wrong.
Faith and scientific fact are not mutual bedfellows.

The media? The media today is telling straight people, that they are the ones with the problem. The media is telling us homosexuality is not a sin, it's not a sickness and we are the ones who have to accept them. Most soaps and dramas now have homosexuality included in the storylines and often the 'moral' it is trying to teach is that we should accept homosexuality.

So you are saying that all hormones go 'wrong' when you reach 10 years of age and they can either right themselves so you will be 'normal' by the time you reach 14 or they stay wrong and you are then 'gay'.
What then is the theory for people who like to play with both sexes?
I wouldnt say attraction either. i find many people attractive male and female but wouldnt have a relationship with them.
I have gay friends and i came straight out and asked them why?
They replied, they could relate more to each other they felt comfortable around each other, more then they did a female and they both hated shopping.
No matter how many gay people i spoke to they said different things but "feeling comfortable" is what came up the most.
Just like i feel more comfortable being with a male.

Accepting homosexuality is not right. Accepting the people, is fine, I'm not homophobic, I don't want to kill them, but I hate their sin.

But isnt everything a sin, or do you have a extra special objection to homosexuality ?

Apparently, we are all sinners. What makes gay peoples 'sin' any worse than yours...?
Also, another point. Why is homosexuality a sin? I can see the logic in many of the things that are 'sinful' being sins, as they harm other people. Where's the harm in being gay? Who does it hurt? No-one.
Yeah, great all-loving God we have here. Screw a God who imposes their vision of what's right and wrong on us, we have our own minds and our own moral compasses, and if a God does happen to exist that's exactly what I'd say as they sat on their stupid high-horse judging me.
