The Bible Qualifies as a Collection of Fairy Tales - B

I've heard from people who do not understand the Bible as it being named a book of fairly tales, becuse the events may not happen while the skeptical are alive. Hi im Josh....only joking lol I'm happen to take this debate. I will try and hit on every "error" Pro has put forth. It says in Job 38.4 "Where were thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declear if thou has understanding." Fairly tale by defintion of a human perspective you should have put. Like most fairly tale creature they are actually inspired by real living or once lived creatures. As humans name creature when found, for example dragon is a out dated name from dinosaur, as dinosaur (the word) was founded in 1841. Before that people called dinosuars dragons. As the word dinoraur means "terirrble lizzard". Dragons: Many stories linked to dragon e.g. George and the Dragon, is a legendary story of a staint who defeaded a dragon. As it was in the 11th centary the word dinosaur was not founded. As dinosaurs are great beasts, you would have been called a hero for defeading one of them. And as more and more dinosaurs became exstict, more and more George and the Dragon became lagendary. I still believe there are a few dinosaurs around today, sighting of huge lizzards have been spotted in the Kongo in Africa. Because of my oponion I will surly lose this debate. Again. Job 40.17 "He moveth his tale like a cedar." A cedar "large tree" in the west. No animal today has a tale like it. Elephant nore a hippopotamas. It had to be linked with either a suaropod dinosaur. This is in the book of Job before any recorded dinosaur bones were found. This is strong proof dinosaurs lived with man. Giants: Today you would think a gaint would be an outrage. Jack and the bean stork. You might think. But very rarely there are people who stand 7 to 8 feet tall and the tallest man was 8ft 11ichs tall according to the Guinness book of records, almost 9ft. Robert Wadlow was referd to as a "Gentle Giant". Based on the theme of evolution, being tall should be an avantage, being tall, you can get to places where others phyically could not. When refering to mirco evolution (which is true) you can see the effects. As thereare little tall people are being born, and as humans are now starting to sustain a balence of sizes, you could say that the DNA which a tall person carries is effectly being less and less used. You may think that we as humans where shorter in the middle ages and brfore that. But since the Great Flood of Noah, killed everyone apart from 8 people. Noah's family (Noah included). As the sea rised the water almost ingolfed the oxygen. After a year on the Ark the was slowly sank into the ground and rised into the sky to be turned into clouds. You would think as the water sank oxygen as a gas would escape back into the atmosphere. This may as well have happened and now humans are growing tall again. As Peter predicted that the Golden Age would be long forgotten (and so it has). As humans we are adapting to the oxygen levels, the more oxygen the taller and faster we grow. As the Bible tells the Earth was made "very good" even today being taller is better. linking the fact of being tall being "very good" I believe before the flood that humans were much taller than after the flood because of a sudden change in oxygen levels. Now there are some occorises ois with micro evolution interfering, tall people usally suffer from conitions. Back problems, neck problems etc...The growth is controlled at teh back of the brain. It tells the body mostly in the teen years to grow. But when theres a growth disorder the skelaton grows out of preportion to the rest of the body such as the heart, when the heart isn't able to pump blood around the body fast enough, thats when the person dies. (example) Giants. Cockatrice: As soon as i looked at a pictre of one as these creatures, it took my mind right back to what evolutionist think as half dinosaur and bird. The Archaeopteryx, it's a bird not a missing link. Anyway. Thats a different debate. This creature has a large fetherd tale. With claws on it's wings and with teeth. Many birds today have teeth and claws on there wings. The Hoatzin is such bird, alive today. I believe as the Cockatrice has wings like a dragon and fethers like a bird, people who lived with this creature might have thought it to be half bird and half dragon as it had claws and teeth. So this was each feature was expressed way over what the crature looked like. And was made into a legend, over geniration people added to this creature. Like a game of chises whispers. As their knowledge of science was poor in those days. They clearly did not know about micro evolution. The Bible does not mention any of the cockatrices features as far as i know. (Place me wrong if it does.) Unicorns: Again this word is a man translation, for a possible existing creature. It is easliy possible that a rinosrus inspired the myth of the name unicorn and since rino is a man made word. Futher to the point A unicorn is no different to a horse, accept unicorn has a horn on the head, between the eyes. It is quite possible that his breed of horse name unicorn became exstict after hunting. For the use of it's horn would have made a great wepon. It is also possible that the unicorn was hunted so much that it became exstict very quickly making it a mythical creature. Apart the word unicorn being a latin word. I have no idea were the orgins of the unicorn came from. All over the world there are myths of the creature. Just like the Great flood. I will not get through all your questioning and quotations in this first part. The Chaldeans Horses: I Googled this and there was no disproving links of this. Only links which inhansted the story for people who did not know of it. Whats the problem? Sorcerers/Witches: Witches exists today, the Bbble never states that a witch flies on a broom stick and has a pointed hat. Those types of witches are mythical. The type of witches the Bible talks about are ones which curse people, meddle with the dead, and call spirits. You must know witches exists even in the moden world. It called witchcraft. Sorcery known as maleficium as a latin word for "wrongdoing" So people who are sorcerers are people doing wrong in the eye of the puplic. Mischief is another word for the same meaning. Up to no good. And by saying no good it mean that. 0% good. 100% bad. This can also mean calling the dead, making deadly posions. Even mixing alcohole. Etc...People exist today which do such mischeif. Other Gods: Other gods exist. But by following the Bible, the only True and most powerful God should be followed. For your penifit. The God which made this relm (universe) The God which has the power to build such a place. Also the God which you resenbile, not a god which you do not. As it says we are made from the image of God. Bring such god like Zuse into this universe is herasi, not saying Zuse even exists, i doubt he does. Hes a dead god. But such gods like Ala are false and take more faith to believe in. Reminding that Jesus is the son of God. InquireTruth is doing a debate on that. "Creation of Earth and Man The Temptation and Fall of Adam and Eve Life Spans of Adam, Noah, Methuselah, et al Plagues of Egypt Parting of the Red Sea Jonah and the Great Fish" Can we do one part at a time lol. I'm finishing here I'll continue the second part (what i just quoted) next time.
