You live in a fantasy world. Btw, your link says that the 2 feline animals on the ark evolved into lions, tigers, cats... that can’t be right, isn’t evolution outlawed in fantasyland?Noah DIDN'T. God brought the animals to the ark. He also led them home.Then how did Noah get kangaroos from Australia and back again?
Land bridge?
How Did Animals Spread All Over from Where the Ark Landed?

How much evidence is there that God exists? Or that the creationist myth is real? Let me help you out. The answer to both questions is "None".
Religion is a philosophy, not a study of physical objects. Evidence involves physical objects, things that can be measured. How much evidence is there that the philosophy of religion and God exists?
When scientific theory is ridiculed in favor of religious views and beliefs, then it goes beyond philosophy. If you ridicule science for lack of evidence, and speak in favor of religious dogma replacing it, you should be required to offer the same evidence you demanded of science.
Existence in itself suggests at least a possibility of God. To believe otherwise requires a faith which shoots pure atheism in the foot.There is no such thing as evolution. It doesn't exist. There IS a little something called adaptation. This is when a species expresses genetic traits that already exist in it's DNA. What evolutionists have done is make the claim that adaptation leads to bigger changes and new species. There is no evidence that such is the case. In order for new species to exist, according to Darwin, new information must be added to it's genome. This is a scientific impossibility.I was giving him an out. An opportunity to blame his brainwashers for his apparent ignorance. Or do you actually believe creationism and evolution are mutually exclusive?Evolution and creationism are not mutually exclusive. But you wouldn't know that because your handlers didn't tell you so.
LMAO!!! Handlers? lol Spare me the melodramatics.
I pretty much only post on this topic when it is "Evolution is wrong" kind of nonsense.
Or there is a mutation, especially within the DNA. That has been observed.

I wonder if computer generated characters in the universe of a video game could discover OUR EXISTENCE using only the laws that govern THEIR universe.

While I would marginally agree the possibility exists it is extremely unlikely. God doesn't stand up the the philosophy of logic, the forms for the layout of valid argument or Occam's razor. The existence of God is not a valid conclusion based of the evidence or premises presented or inferred.

I read a couple of the statements in the article. The writers assume you already believe this "bible" contains the omnipotent word of God. I don't think so. Hardly compelling.
By the way, David wasn't a tiny short guy as speculated by many.I'm not so sure they had an "affliction" by modern standards. It's only my BELIEF, but I think they were just a "giant" race who God eliminated.Actually, Goliath was pretty big. It is estimated that he was at least 6'9" tall. Think Andre the Giant. And since he was a warior, he probably had the bulk that training would give any warrior. It is probable that he suffered from gigantism, just like Andre did. Even today, he would be considered a giant.
Giants in the Old Testament
A cubit was 18"
The most common term used to describe giants in the Bible is rephaim (e.g., Deuteronomy 3:11, 13). It may refer to a certain people group,5 or it may be a term that simply means giants. The singular form, raphah, also appears several times (e.g., 2 Samuel 21:16, 18, 20).6
The third chapter of Deuteronomy contains an interesting account of the victory of the Israelites over Sihon, the king of the Amorites, and Og, the king of Bashan.7 It is here that we learn an intriguing detail about Og:
For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the giants [rephaim]. Indeed his bedstead was an iron bedstead. (Is it not in Rabbah of the people of Ammon?) Nine cubits is its length and four cubits its width, according to the standard cubit(Deuteronomy 3:11).
