Natural Science 301 Guidelines

This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.

As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

The goal of the Intelligent Design movement is the dismantling of modern science

    My bad. That was when the site was first considered for being placed on the World Heritage list. It wasn't until 2019 until it received the designation.

    Everything i said here can be confirmed. Unless you can find something that clearly contradicts it, you're wrong.

    What conclusions can we draw about Lee's convictions from this?
    You are not the first person to have noticed that Lee's, um, "methodology" lacks any consistence

    God sometimes works in hidden ways, and sometimes works directly, is my view.

Again, if you'd bothered to do your own research, you'd find that the thing labelled "Tower of Babel" is actually the temple of Marduk, which is more or less centered in the upper map.

    Again, you can't be bothered to do the work of looking for yourself and supporting your own argument. You just say whatever you can to support yours without caring whether what you say is true, and force everyone else here to fact check you.

    Pathetic behavior.

    In any case, if you go into the map and zoom around, you can find that the northern portion of the image is labelled with palaces and the Ishtar gate, which corresponds to the northern part of the wall. And the southern wall is labelled, so we do have the full north-south enclosed area in this map. Again, if you'd bothered to do your own research, you'd find that the thing labelled "Tower of Babel" is actually the temple of Marduk, which is more or less centered in the upper map.

    From that, you can deduce that the river has shifted course.

    You can then use the upper map to confirm that the walls stretched west from the temple of Marduk about the same distance as the full distance between the north and south walls. Given that, you can then confirm that the settled area on the west bank that contains a pharmacy and home improvement store are within what used to be the city walls.

    Just as i said.

    That's shocking that a river might move a few feet over the course of a few thousand years

    Look up oxbow lakes and get back to me
