A story from some unnamed place, starving yet in a boat? And that was God's answer? Is <i>this</i> the best evidence God can provide for his existence?

AMEN.<br />There is a difference between hypothesis and theory.<br />If evolution is a theory and not merely a hypothesis then all evolutionists have to do is present their facts behind evolution. As long as these facts are from biology and the scientific method.<br />Organized creationism says this is not the case.<br />YEC and even ID people do note that evolutionary biology relies on speculation for its main points.<br /><br />Anyways its about the evidence.<br />If the evidence is persuasive it will persuade.<br />North America has never heard a close examination of the evidence from both sides.<br /> <br />Robert Byershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05631863870635096770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20067416.post-3713628283730758662013-03-30T22:27:07.164-04:002013-03-30T22:27:07.164-04:00Jumping fish, proof by sesame street:

Isn&...<i>if wishes were fishes then beggars would eat</i><br /><br />Isn't it interesting that starving Christians praying for food generally don't receive such "miracles," while people hardly in any imminent danger of starvation are saved the discomfort of missing a meal or two? The evangelists can afford a boat, but can't fish, or what?<br /><br />It's just too convenient, and might be based on some rare coincidence in which fish are jumping a great deal and some religious folk are feeling peckish.
