I Read this, and it makes sense that there couldnt have been Noah's Flood. any help? http://www.abarnett.demon.co.uk/atheism/noahs_ark.html
What happens if a comet was to strike in the middle of a ocean? what happens if a volcanoe like krakatore explodes? What would happen if there was a earthquake and shall we say a section of the earths tetonic plate was to collapse? Therer are ample stories across the globe about a devistating flood to give it creedence, but you dont want to accept that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deluge_(mythology) Then try looking for the archilogical evidence that shows shifts in sea levels http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deluge_(prehistoric) Now I am not saying that Noah and the ark is a true story, I dont know but what I do know is that Chrisianity has a habit of borrowing things from previouse religions and using them. What I am saying though is that I do believe that great floods have occured, land that was once above water is now under it and the other way round. Don't automaticly dismiss something just because it appears in the bible. also dont take every bible story as been literal, try to realise that it might well have been the only way that they could discribe something.
...or if all the ice on the Earth melted. Kinda like what happened when the Older_Dryas gave way to the Allerød_Oscillation and right before the Younger_Dryas. To make it a little easier to understand here's what happened. Intense global cold suddenly gave way to a rapid total warming (melting Ice Caps) of the planet and the waters rose very rapidly... Then another total freeze (the last Ice Age) gripped the planet causing the oceans to retreat yet again. This all took place coincidentally around 13,000 'Before Present' and the total (cold-warm-cold) transformation took only a few years geologically speaking. We currently are simply in-between periods with a cool/mild global climate which is contributing the the population expansion. It will not last forever... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Older_Dryas http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allerød_Oscillation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas
I'm not arguing tht there wasnt an ice age, which is all you guys are proving. I'm arguing whether or not the Noah story is true
of course! maybe not a world wide flood where everything at once was covered and it was so high that it was 25 feet over Mt. Everest. But yeah I do, thats how Ice Ages happen (sort of) I just don't see how the Noah's flood is possible.
Exactly! If God is limited to operating in ways that we humans understand, then He's not much of a God, is He?
The Ark fable This bible story makes absolutely 0 sense. There is no way to create a viable genetic population from just 2 animals..that is BASIC genetics. How did Noah go up to the north pole to get the polar bears and then scoot down to the south pole for the penguins.. Total BS.. Come on people choose to believe in things that might have a chance of being real... Religion just does not make sense... How did people 2000 years ago know there was a global flood? They had no way to verify global anything..think about it. There was huge floods but NONE of them were global.. Please do some actual geological research for yourselves and stop believing in biblical nonsense.
Besides, much is lost in Biblical interpretation. Noah's Ark settled on another mountain altogether, Mt. Mashu. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q="mt mashu" ark&btnG=Search http://www.noahsark-naxuan.com/Slide9.htm
Why is it that many will believe in global warming being the end of time but will not accept the flood which is told on every contintent. Why do people get caught up with books when books are written by men and can be faulted. oh excuse me all books can be faulted except those written by left wing liberals who live big cat lives like Gore. Think about what the man's name means, it is a true reflection of his soul or lack of.
Sorry but what is a Left Wing Libral exactly? If you are left wing then by definition you are a Socialist not a Libral
The bible was written by men trying to sort out and make meaning of thier life at first and then to control others with it. We have laws to keep people in control on earth to have a society but for real control we need laws to govern peoples souls for life after earth. The bible does have truth but the truth is clouded by the very men who wrote it and then rewrote it. The bibles old testment book does not even match the torah for one the translations were done so often and then from greek to latin to english, etc and two for political reasons. Does this mean the truth is not in the bible, no the truth is in their just clouded and it is difficult to see in fog.
Liberal in the past is an open mind approach to see and do what is best for all as well as to ensure the protection of the minority. Today the liberal is called an conservative or worse by the left wing liberal media which is brain washing the youth much like you would see in Germany or Russian in the nineteen thirties.
According to the fable of the Great Flood,Noah's Ark ended up on Mt. Ararat,which later became part of Armenia,& is now in an area of Turkey that is effectively off-limits to foreigners. Aidan.
