There was a lot of hammer handed sillyhawking in part 1 until a Kindly Mod locked and told me to reopen the top top.
Sirs/Madames- please continue with the discussion. I am off to find the exact measurements of the ark in my NIV BIBLE. I am sad to say, I did not know there were such a thing
I have only been studying sripture in depth for 5 years though. It grows and slows on you
GOD is good when you have the all togetherness to see it

Noah wa sa geneticist so he took genetic samples of all the animals and then re-created them when the water subsided.
Of course the water rose due to mad made global warming in the first place so the real trick is to understand that Noah lived in a time of unimaginable future technology and science and Al gore was President.

Crazy idea, Vain! Sorta happened on Star Trek: The Next Generation. The ancient Klingon founder was prophesied to return at a particular place, a moon or something, and a priesthood was based there. One day, sure enough, he returned.
Well, turned out the priests just made a clone of him from blood on the ancient knife he was killed with. They said, "How do you know this isn't the way the prophecy was to be fulfilled?"

So...possibly the second coming will be when genetic scientists get ahold of the Turin Shroud?

That or the Flood Story and the Ark are much smaller and more localized than is implied in Genesis. Flood Stories are frequent themes in various mythologies. Likely deriving from glacial floods experienced by many early humans as the latest Ice Age ended. Therefore, something, like the story of Noah and the flood may have actually happened, but not on a global scale.

Most of the religions we're familiar with in the western world have their deepest roots in ancient mesopotamia, where one of the world's earliest agricultural civilisations (Sumer) formed in the flood plains of the Tigris and Euphrates. Floods were large a part of life for those first civilisations, and so floods featured prominently in local mythology.
The
Sumerian flood story bears very strong similarities to the later story in the Hebrew bible - the gods choose to allow humanity to perish in a great flood, but Enki, learning of this, chooses to warn the king and instructs him to build a great ship, on which he survives the flood and is afterward rewarded by the gods for preserving mankind and the animals.

Here's what I've been thinking, BBF, and it might even jive with your taking the bible literally.
The bible said God wanted to flood the world, right? The reason was to wipe out the wicked human race, correct? Now, this was within the first couple thousand years I think, I had calculated ages before, but that was years ago). Now, the Earth is a big place, it could be that humans did not cover it in its entirety. As a result, God would only have to flood the world of man. Not the entire Earth. As a result, only the animals that would become extinct due to the flooding of the world of man need be saved. This could possibly reduce the number of animals to something more manageable.

We should all be thankful that Noah had faith. Verily we are all descendants of Noah. Surely everyone else perished.

Thank you!
Could I have a video of the
construction of the Ark? And the fitting of every species (especially the insects) onto the Ark? Because then I'd believe.
I don't think that's a lot to ask for.

Here is an excellent video proving that Noah's Ark was large enough to accommodate all the animals:

And it had plenty of room for food! God's design was perfect and of course he knew the perfect 6:1 ratio of length x width for stability!
Now you can believe.

Yes, because we
mere humans could never work that out for ourselves! That is, after all, why we're all still living in huts and dressed in animal skins...

Wow. My atheism of 10 years is shot in one fell swoop.

You know, babybottomfeeder, I am frankly disappointed. Last night in your fan-seeking thread elsewhere on the Watch, I provided a clear hint to you on how to discern the the gender of most Watchers from the "graveler" or "eh-brand" tags on the left margin of posts. Harbinger's posts all bear the "graveler" tag, yet you persist in this "good sir or madame" routine like you can't tell whether you are addressing a male or a female.
While the Watch has a gracious concierge (whom you have yet to encounter, apparently) who has almost unlimited patience in helping and educating users, that is not an attribute of many of the rest of us. I've given you the benefit of the doubt heretofore...but pay attention and use the lessons offered by those who are striving to give you a chance and not attack you for your mis-steps...or risk that even the tolerant assess you to be a troll.

To be fair--not all have their gender listed. Heck; I didn't even realize what that thing meant until you mentioned it. I think BBF just likes to say it for saying it, but if he's honestly not recognizing your gender when you bluntly tell him, then he's out of line. Bottom Feeder? Come on.
