Actually the dragon myth was created in the 11th century. It also had nothing to do with his celebration as a martyr of the faith by beheading in approximately 303.

Still waiting for flat earth proof, single ocean, single land mass and an ocean above the dome of the sky instead of space.

As I’ve said before, it is physically impossible for any dinosaur species to have coexisted with humans. The environment is too low in oxygen for reptilian megafauna.

Actually, one Almighty God made it all happen complies much better with Occam’s razor than the molecules to monkees to man cosmology with millions of years and random mutations as the only creative force.

Occam’s Razor applies only to explanations with equal amounts of valid evidence. Evolution and Old Earth have far more evidence than Young Earth.
 
Funny thing, the concept of hell you know is a combination of Greek Hades and Germanic Hel of Norse fame.
The Jews originally thought after you die your soul would seek Yahweh. If you were virtuous you’d find him. If you were not you’d wander eternally.

It’s interesting how cultures bleed into each other.
 
There were sects of Jews who believed in an afterlife and sects that did not. However in the idea of cross pollination of religious beliefs it could be possible to attribute the Greeks which is also doubtful as that evolved or borrowed Mesopotamian belief.

The Norse idea of hell would have been appropriated later as the Norse religious beliefs date back to between 800 to 500 ad.

It would be fairer to say that Christianity may have gotten the idea of hell from Mesopotamia, but definitely not from the Norse. It would be the other way around. The Greek idea of hell would still have been appropriated from the Mesopotamians.
 
So many train/T-rex/Noah jokes , so little time.

Of course our littlest dinosaurs would have easily fitted into their Ark nests, these people are forgetting dinos are not one size fits all.

Flat earth? I pointed out the flat earth myth that Irving created.

I am not going into super large wooden ships of the past as it was covered in other threads.

Need to go back to the Hebrew to understand the dome and who used this term.

Oceans above the sky. Now we found a whole lot of water in space. Trillions times more than on the earth.

Single land mass. Ever heard of Pangea.

You have an empirical source for this, or is this another scientists think… You know how many times they have flip flopped on oxygen levels?

Another point - the environment could have been very different before the flood. The Bible accounts for larger humans. It also shows long human lifespans that rapidly fell after the flood.

Actually I do but apparently one of us doesn’t.

Yet the Bible doesn’t claim droplets of water floating in a vastness of space it does however claim it as an ocean. So my original question stands.

Good try but Pangea predates the YEC. So again, while I appreciate the floating goal post, the question stands (and apparently continue to be unanswered).

As for Washington Irving, he didn’t in fact invent the flat earth, try again
 
Another couple questions for the YECers,

What day was the sun created on?

Who did Cain marry? (Wasn’t his sisters, they came later than his marriage biblically)
 
Uh, who else has offered any proof here lately. What I see is scientists say, I don’t know anyone who believes that, and a whole bunch of storytelling. No one is still willing to answer directly my standing question.

If C14 dated material is found to be say 10,000 years old and found in Pot Ar dated rocks of say 100 million which is correct? No one wants to touch it and we all know why.

The idea was established, almost contemporaneously, by a Frenchman and an American, between whom I have not been able to establish a connection, though they were both in Paris at the same time. One was Antoine-Jean Letronne (1787-1848), an academic of strong antireligious prejudices who had studied both geography and patristics and who cleverly drew upon both to misrepresent the church fathers and their medieval successors as believing in a flat earth, in his On the Cosmographical Ideas of the Church Fathers (1834). The American was no other than our beloved storyteller Washington Irving (1783-1859), who loved to write historical fiction under the guise of history. His misrepresentations of the history of early New York City and of the life of Washington were topped by his history of Christopher Columbus (1828). It was he who invented the indelible picture of the young Columbus, a “simple mariner,” appearing before a dark crowd of benighted inquisitors and hooded theologians at a council of Salamanca, all of whom believed, according to Irving, that the earth was flat like a plate. Well, yes, there was a meeting at Salamanca in 1491, but Irving’s version of it, to quote a distinguished modern historian of Columbus, was “pure moonshine. Washington Irving, scenting his opportunity for a picturesque and moving scene,” created a fictitious account of this “nonexistent university council” and “let his imagination go completely…the whole story is misleading and mischievous nonsense.”

But now, why did the false accounts of Letronne and Irving become melded and then, as early as the 1860s, begin to be served up in schools and in schoolbooks as the solemn truth?
The reason for promoting both the specific lie about the sphericity of the earth and the general lie that religion and science are in natural and eternal conflict in Western society, is to defend Darwinism. The answer is really only slightly more complicated than that bald statement. The flat-earth lie was ammunition against the creationists. The argument was simple and powerful, if not elegant: “Look how stupid these Christians are. They are always getting in the way of science and progress. These people who deny evolution today are exactly the same sort of people as those idiots who for at least a thousand years denied that the earth was round. How stupid can you get?”

Still waiting on the ocean above the dome explanation. There is no “outer space” described In genesis, just ocean.
