Noah's Flood Was Real!

[Zacs-Master]

According to this Texan bloke, anyway.

An insight into why Donald Trump may well become president.

Sometimes I can do no more than pray that those who come to mock will stay to listen and as they harken the seeds of their conversation will be planted.

Svejk, :-)

[jomifl]

conversation?

[naomi24]

I think he might have meant 'conversion'.

[jomifl]

Devine intervention obviously.

[jomifl]

and again...divine..

[naomi24]

Blessings be upon him. ;o)

I don't believe in Noah's Ark and all the two by two animals nonsense, but I have seen a programme on TV which proved there was a flood in the area at the relevant time.

BTW, unicorns do exist but only in North Yorkshire

\\The bones of rhinoceri, elephants, hippos, and even lions, have been found in GB. I sometimes think the Ark may have actually discharged it's cargo here rather than in Turkey.//

\\The evidence is closer to hand than some think. The land under the North Sea once teemed with people, settlements, animals, and flowing rivers.//

Google Pangea, pretty much all the earth was connected before the continents drifted apart.

Another thing how many miles tall is mount Everest, 5.498 mi, so the entire earth would need to be covered to a depth of 5.5 miles, and when the waters receded where did it go.?

webbo...I don't think anybody on here thinks that the Ark story really happened !

It is clearly based on old stories, especially Gilgamesh ::

I know that Mikey, I was just answering SandyRoes points, and making one of my own.

Not divine intervention, I think. Much more likely to be the fiendish gremlins who have taken up residence in my Hudl.

[mikey4444]

Webbo...yes, I was aware of that ! No malice meant.

//Actually Noah took seven pairs of some animals, and only one pair of others so the ark was rather more full than most people imagine.//

Actually Noah was a cannibal. He went aboard as a good Muslim with four wives - and ate three of them.

Few would believe that the entire surface of the world suffered inundation. I take it to mean the habitable parts were under water.
Mountain tops would have stood proud above the sea as nunataks do now above oceans of ice in colder climes.

[webbo3]

I know Mikey, and None taken what's so ever. :-)

see the last two lines Sandy.

The Priestly source, Genesis 7:11;8:1-2, describes the nature of the flood waters as a cosmic cataclysm, by the opening of the springs of the deep and the floodgates, or windows, of heaven. This is the reverse of the separation of the waters recounted in the Genesis creation narrative of chapter 1. After Noah and the remnant of animals were secured, the fountains of the great deep and the floodgates, or windows, of the heavens were opened, causing rain to fall on the Earth for 40 days. The waters elevated, with the summits of the highest mountains under 15 cubits (22 feet 6 inches) of water,[31] flooding the world for 150 days, and then receding in 220 days.[32]

Webbo...where are our resident religious nutters when we need them ?

I would love nothing better than to see them trying to rationalise Noah's Ark.

[sandyRoe]

The world was a far more parochial place then than it is now. It's likely the gospel talked of the known world submerged. None of the mountains in the vicinity of the Holy Land are particularly high.

[webbo3]

So do I Mikey, so do I , and sandy, it says \\flooding the world// not known world for 150 days.
