Typical Creationist Reasoning (warning:snarky)

I found these on AiG, on the topic of the problem of Egyptian history being recorded before
and straight on through the time of Noah's flood, almost as if they didn't notice the fact that they were all being drowned and their civilization was being destroyed.

(Silly Egyptians)

This can be resolved easily. But for the sake of the readers, I am going to take this step-by-step to show how to analyze this type of argument and respond in the future.
Ultimately, here is what it comes down to: trust man or trust God. I know you’ve heard us say this many times but let me explain it with respect to this question. Let’s look at the two proposed approximate timelines of history.

Using God’s Word as authoritative, we know the pyramids of Egypt couldn’t have been built prior to creation. Also, they would not have been built prior to the Flood as they would have been destroyed. So they would have had to come afterwards.

oh.
well damn.
you just convinced me then.

Regardless, either God is wrong or man is wrong.

Well I agree with you on that one, and I am going to go with: b) man is wrong.
A very particular man. The man writing the article.
Also the men who wrote the myth it is worshiping.

ok, i'm done ranting now.

1) God's word is infallible.
2) If something is in dispute with God's word see rule 1.

It's amazing that we mastered fire.

: Regardless, either God is wrong or man is wrong.

Typical moronic false dilemma! It assumes only two possibilities. What if there is no God? What if God is right AND man is right? What if God is wrong and man is wrong? What if "wrong" doesn't exist in the cosmic sense? What if "God" didn't cause the Bible to be written?

The only way to "prove" the Bible came from God is to quote the Bible which says it did! That is begging the question/circular reasoning.

How can god be right or wrong, when he never says anything? Everyone knows that men wrote the bible. Oh, they claim inspiration. Funny how god can't do books all by hisself.

He gets everybody else to publish them to save on costs. Is God a Yorkshireman?

mini lightbulb moment right there for me.... thank you.

A FEW people get a unabashed miracle when they see god's finger, and everyone else is asked to take their word on it.

Why not write a obviously miraculous book for us ALL to see? Because then we wouldn't need faith. But why do the prophets get special treatment then?

My father phoned me up yesterday to tell me once again how stupid I was for jumping ship right before the big A. Then he proceeded to go through his proof that the Bible is true, once again. One of his reasonings was, "how did the Bible writer know that the earth was a circle hanging upon nothing when that was unknown by science at the time? That proves it is inspired of God."

No, that proves the Bible writer has the keen observation of an uneducated, illiterate, preschooler of any century who could go outside and observe that other planets (sun and moon) appeared to be circles hanging in the sky with nothing to support them. What really would have been impressive is if the Bible had said the earth is a sphere and is held in place by the pull of gravitational forces and proceeded to give an outline of the law of gravity. That I would consider being divinely inspired.

What if "wrong" doesn't exist in the cosmic sense?

whooaaa. Farkle just blew my mind.

I feel embarassed that I used ot believe this flood nonsense. And think that scientists were stupid.

And it would excuse the genocide made by Joshua ? and the others absurdities and anachronims ?

There is another possibility.

That the flood was local.

I know that Farkel will dissagree with that statement vehemently.

Just stating another theory as to why the pyramids survived the ''flood''

Black and white thinking on the part of that creationist
