One unproven claim is one thing.
Many unproven claim quite another and to claim we have to do what this unproven claim says we should is quite foolish. Right?
Especially when the same book making the claim says that the claim is unfathomable and unknowable as it tells you all it knows of the unknowable claim.
Do you see the utter stupidity in believing what itself says cannot be known?

No, because I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to. Give a trace-able quote or something, please.
In the meantime, regarding that River Dolphin, please note the following:

While on that page, note also please that clicking on the photo now gives an error message.
Within time, I imagine the page itself will give a similar error ...

If you have not heard that God is unknowable, unfathomable and works in mysterious ways then we have nothing to discuss.

On the contrary. We have a great deal to discuss. Mainly because what you're talking about is something you did NOT get from the Bible, rather you found something that seemed reasonably close and took the counterfeit as your guide.
Which is a far more widespread practice than most people realize.
Only a small amount of research is needed to discover that.
Here, one of the first hits you get from Google if you type in "works in mysterious ways" as a search item:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This particular phrase is not found anywhere in the Bible, although it is often misquoted as being a Bible verse. There are several ideas about where this saying grew from, one being a hymn written by William Cowper in the 19th century that says, "God moves in a mysterious ways; His wonders to perform; He plans His footsteps in the sea, and rides upon the storm." There are several verses that may seem to allude to this idea as well, including Romans 11:33: "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!" (KJV)

Counterfeit? As if the bible was some how original.

So give us one item that you know as a fact is a characteristic or attribute of God and we can go from there.

God is unknowable. But somehow there are so many people who know all about God. I think they know nothing.

Yes, it is weird to see a man with morals trying to teach them to immoral Christians whose morals have been corrupted by their religions.

Well we better all HOPE it is not reality. Can you imagine how horrible the reality we live in would be if it was? I can't imagine anything worse and I can imagine a whole lot of messed up stuff.

Hope is not required. Christian mythology is not to be taken literally. Because in a literal since, it might as well be unicorns dancing in the spring time.

Yes, but even today we have grown adults who do take it as 100% true. I've mentioned this in other threads, but we've had certain senators, etc. in the government admit they are creationists. That means they think people and dinosaurs co existing was a thing. They believe the Earth is only around 6,000 years old despite there being things even in the US that have been found to date back at least 8,000 years.
I've never actually asked a Creationist what they believe truly killed the dinosaurs then. I'd be curious to know, since it obviously wasn't a meteor then if the human race survived it.
