We are thee most sinful generation since the great flood.

Thanks for continuing on in the debate despite this. I am taking the position of devil's advocate in supporting the position that we aren't the most sinful generation since the Great Flood with the background of a Christian that believes in a world flood event. However, I don't see that I necessarily have to agree with the specifics you laid out for such event. A popular young Earth/Great Flood advocate website, Answers in Genesis, says the flood likely took place in circa 2350 [1], or merely 4,300 years in the past. If the Earth is only 6,000 years old, this appears to be a problem with your time line, but some creationists say the Earth could be as many as 10,000 years so I will accept this. I do not know the exact importance of this issue on our debate, but at the very least it is settled. Now, this doesn't really fit the persona I have equipped to complete this debate, but evolution is incompatible with Biblical creation. Certainly not with a young Earth. Unless you are trying to distinguish micro evolution from macro evolution (there is no distinction, the only difference is time). One of the tenants of evolution is a shared ancestor, if my understanding is correct. Next you try to apply Biblical creation to a scientific understanding of how the Earth formed, which you have to understand also doesn't fit. First off, your order of creation is wrong. First came a formless Earth with water on it. THEN came light, and then came night. This is scientifically incorrect, as there was yet no Sun and thus no Earth is possible[2]. You say light could indicate "light from other stars". The light from the closest star to us would take 4.4 years to reach us, tens of thousands for some of the others, millions for good few. [3]. If you take "first day" in a metaphorical sense, which is odd if you also accept the flood, maybe "day" doesn't really mean 24 hours. Besides, stars don't come until the fourth day. So the Biblical Creation doesn't map to science that accurately, and even more important doesn't have much to do with the discussion at hand. [By the way, fish weren't first. It was likely a single celled organism, if Evolution (not Darwinism) is correct. A lot of this paragraph is scientifically inaccurate, but this is about sin and not science. ]Okay, so now we are on to the real, actual debate. "God flooded us because we behaved in such a sinful way that the only thing a loving God can do is kill us all by drowning. " Since I am a Christian for sake of debate, I won't gripe you on the obvious contradiction of an all loving God that kills every single being, not just human, on the planet. My main reason for highlighting this quote is to bring a more important issue to light. Most of this round has nothing to do with our generation being more sinful than any other since the Flood event. So really, the only argument in favor of your position is that one must assume each generation has gotten more sinful. You don't back this up, nor do you offer any link or evidence as to why one has to assume this. You know the saying, what is submitted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence, and I am afraid that this is the course of action I must take without speculating on the reason you believe this. I may be wrong, but I think the majority of the Burden of Proof is on you for making the claim that we are the definite most sinful generation since the Great Flood, but I will defend the idea that we aren't the most sinful anyway. To begin, there is a major problem before this debate can actually happen: What is sin? Sure, we have a working definition of "a transgression against divine law"[4], but this only asks more questions than it answers. There are around 30,000 denominations of Christianity in the world today, and there isn't a universal agreement on really any issue. Is being gay a sin? Is having an abortion a sin? Is praying in public a sin? Does the Bible support slavery? Really, most any position can be justified somewhere in the Holy Book. However, not all is lost for the second round. I am sure we can both agree that murder is wrong, and the Bible backs this up. Look at the ten commandments if you need this to be confirmed. Here is the national murder rate from 1970-2011. As you can see, we have become less likely to murder people as past generations, making us at least not the most sinful. Thank you for participating in this debate, and sorry once more for not participating in the rules listed in the first round. Sources: [1] . https://answersingenesis.org...
