Have you ever heard the word "faith"?
Yes.
Faith is believing in something from the heart when your head tells you otherwise.
And this is a good thing for what reason?
All Christians have to do is believe what the word of God tells us. We don't have to have proof.
In other words, you don't have the challenge a book written and edited countless times at the hands of ignorant people with corrupt agendas...
Many scientists have tried to prove the flood happened and have succeeded in gathering infomation but haven't PROVED it yet.
And it should be treated as if it hasn't been proven yet (ie questioned, challenged, doubted, etc.). Why? Because it hasn't been proven, as you so clearly state.
If we have to prove everything the Bible says, which by the way was given to us by the "All-Knowing", that would mean we would be on the same level with God, and He says we cannot be nor will we ever be "all-knowing".
Clearly the men who wrote the Bible knew what to write and how to describe events, and thus in some fashion must have been knowledgeable about all the events (how else could they have written it). Or they made stuff up (I choose this one).
Those are questions that we will have to wait to have answered, and they will be answered.
They will likely be answered by the people who are looking for the rational answers, not by the people proclaiming the answers shouldn't even be looked for.
In the meantime, Christians don't have to prove anything to Man, just as non-believers and Agnostics don't have to prove to us why what we have faith in is "untrue". ![angel11 :angel11:](//d1o9fadw0wez7f.cloudfront.net/Smileys/Lots_O_Smileys/angel.png)
The burden of proof is on you, however. The burden of proof is not on the individual who says your claim is irrational and baseless. If you want to make extraordinary claims, be prepared to provide extraordinary evidence supporting those claims. Otherwise, you have nothing and can't complain when people point that out.
