After the flood the atmosphere of the earth was dramatically changed . Before the Flood the earth's atmosphere had a "greenhouse" effect because of the canopy of water surrounding it. Three major things happened after the Flood: the canopy of water was gone, harmful rays of the sun entered the atmosphere, & man and animals began eating meat. Earth experienced many atmosphere and climate changes, and because of that many animal species - including dinosaurs - died and became extinct.

A repeat, I'm sure. There doesn't seem to be much activity these days over at the Bro Rancid place.
Still, the quote's still bat-shit insane though so a reminder won't hurt.
There is some logic behind this. But there are also several impossibilities. First of all a canopy of water wouldn't block out all the harmful rays, it would block out all rays, including light. Secondly the sudden change in pressure from the canopy of water falling would have caused everything to, well, suffer a complete organ implosion. Which is only funny in 8-Bit Theater. Finally, how does removing high pressure and allowing minute amounts of background to the surface turn humans and specific species into meat eaters, and yet leave other species vegetarians?
Wow, she just managed to fail biology, anthropology, paleontology, ecology, and history in one fell swoop.
Someone ought to be brought up on child abuse charges for teaching this girl such nonsense.
Then again, she might be an accomplice to it herself -- I got much the same story from a teacher in grade school (in public school!), but I was smart enough to realize that it was total nonsense.
F..ken Jezus! "greenhouse" effect .
Also have you ever gone diving, you would notice that over 200m its pretty dark, so 9000m (or its equivalent of water vapor which is impossible also) would make the earth pretty well pitch black.
Moron.
"man and animals began eating meat"
Yay! I love this idea of all living things spontaneously lunging at each other out of the blue as carnivourism bursts into existence. Mainly because it gets me to wondering what the following animals ate before God fucked up and the veil of veganism dropped:
-Vultures
Before the Flood the earth's atmosphere had a "greenhouse" effect because of the canopy of water surrounding it.
Where is this "canopy of water" in the Bible? The canopy of water was invented out of thin air to explain where all the rain came from.
man and animals began eating meat.
Where is this in the Bible? While some have come up with a twisted argument that man didn't eat meat before the Fall, there's nothing in the Bible to suggest a change of diet after the Flood.
Earth experienced many atmosphere and climate changes
Where is this in the Bible?
"after the Flood [ ... ] man and animals began eating meat." "Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD. But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering"
Do you Fundies ever read your own damn Bible?!
Yes, yes, puke out exactly what Brother Randy tells you to, or else he will damn you to internet purgatory.
I swear I saw this about a week ago with Brother Randy's name attached to it.
Wait, fuck, anteaters don't have long noses. Why did I write that? I don't even have the excuse of being drunk at the time.
This comment is completely pointless, but it's too late to change my earlier post and I just want everyone to know that i'm well aware of my own stupidity.
I will now exile myself in shame to read a book as penance and LEARN SOME SHIT.
and all in less than 6000 years.
you fail; no matter how you try to fit your myth into reality, you fail.
Please do not breed
I used to know the bible pretty well and I cannot remember ever seeing something like this in it...not even anything close. Can you give me the scriptural citations that cover this so I can refresh my memory?
*waiting*
**still waiting**
***mebbe she doesn't have any?***
"had a "greenhouse" effect"
THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT KEEPS THE SUN OUT PRAISE JESUS
"man and animals began eating meat"
I thought that was what happened after the Fall?
"the canopy of water"
Ah yes, I believe it was Kent who proposed the magical, fantastical canopy of water? Which is impossible to form or maintain without lots and lots of concrete and large pillars designed to keep it from shifting?
"...the canopy of water was gone, harmful rays of the sun entered the atmosphere, & man and animals began eating meat."
We can see example of this today. People have barbeques more often in the summer when there is more sun, than in the winter, suggesting an increased desire to consume flesh when there is more sun. Strange scientists hadn't picked up on this...
"Dr Hovind" has a doctrate in theology from a diploma mill (unrecognized school)
Many people named Hovind, some related, deny he's a Hovind
Dr Hovind is neither a doctor or a Hovind, discuss.
Funny that the other cultures, continuing living their lives as usual, while the Flood supposedly destroyed the Earth, don't record anything about this canopy of water, or greenhouse effect, suddenly going missing.
We have the hundred-thousand-year-old fossils of meat-eating teeth. We win!
Dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago, about 60 million years before what would become Homo Sapiens and what would become Pan Troglodyte/Paniscus split away from each other.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
