You don't vote in science. Will you show me yours if I show you
mine... evidence, that is?

Of course. The higher the mountains the more water had to be added and
then subtracted. And we're way past absurd.

You know what, I'm glad somebody finally says it like it is. 'It takes

Why do you think I did that? Did you read the article? Did you read
this:
"The water is hidden inside a blue rock called ringwoodite that lies
700 kilometers underground in the mantle, the layer of hot rock
between Earth’s surface and its core."

You didn't read the article. All I had to do was hold out my fist, and
you slammed your face into it (after I asked you not to sit on it).

>assuaged it away in a very controlled manner ...

How did "the interference" get it back down 700 km, down in the Mantle
back into the ringwoodite? Because that is where the water is now. It
takes an omnipotent god, right.


> ... and there was no massive pile of mud strewn

Have you ever looked at the cross section of a drained basin? Oh,
sorry... 
Imagine a dried out puddle of water out in the fields. You'll notice
the there is a small film of silt and clay articles covering the
coarser material. Now imagine the whole globe covered in water. Strong
currents (cutting canyons and shith) whirling up millions of tons of
material. Let the water 'assuage away', and you telling me that there
will not be a thick coat of silt and clay everywhere?

700 km down. That is where the water is now. If you claim that that
water was the Noahic water, you must explain how it got back down into
the rocks. I'm perfectly fine with you saying 'Goddidit'. That's
honest and does not pretend to be scientific. 'Magic' is the word, and
you own it.

Bald assertion. No evidence to back it up.

"the fossil mud"?

I'm confused, I must admit. What is it I have to show about "the

Of course I can't falsify the supposed, magical works of an
interfering god, who is not of this naturalistic world. But I can
easily disprove that the Earth can have been covered in 8000 m of
water, that is no longer present, by naturalistic means.

Then what would prove it? I know that an omnipotent god can do
anything, but that doesn't prove it happened. So, Moses, what would
prove your theory?

Easter Island is a volcanic island, formed roughly 750.000 years ago,
formed over a so called hotspot underneath the Pacific Plate. This
assertion is based on physical evidence, and does not require the
workings of an  omnipotent god. And that's why mine is bigger than
yours, punk.

I know you're fluent in Gibberish, but I'm surprised to see you master
Gobbledygook. The Easter Island volcano rises about 2000 meters above
the seabed. There never was dry land between the islands and the South
American continent. You have to look into things before you think it
supports your ideas.

It's the naturalistic explanation, with all it's limits and
boundaries. Every time you hid the limit of what is physically
possible you invoke God. Big points for honesty, absolutely no points
for scientific achievements.

Why not?

Why would that make more sense? Do you know what happens with material
when you apply pressure?

Because of the predictability of the behavior, we can make things
happen, but neither man, nor crow can change the mechanical behavior
of gravity, or the other forces. We're restricted by the laws of
nature. 

I can boil a pot of water, and a puddle can evaporate. It's the same
physics that turn liquid water into vapor, but are the two cases
different? Is what you say basically, that sentience, intelligence and
intent is not naturalistic?

It's not an accident that puddle water evaporates in the sunlight.
It's not done on, or with, purpose. It's the same with universes.

Consciousness is as 'naturalistic' as gravity or ringwoodite.

I don't do magic. Cells are not formed that way.

Like this:

I would never claim that. We know how modern cells form today. They
divide, and it is not an accident every time it happens. Neither is
there intent behind. Water evaporates, cells divide. 

This is really all about how life arose from dead material and forces,
if it wasn't done by God, and you're dragging the 'suddenly a cell
appeared by accident' strawman on the stage by his leg. Show some
mercy, Moses, and let the poor bastard die in peace.

I doubt I said that. Algorithms are created with a specific purpose in

There is no algorithm that makes matter behave the way it does.
