Well... according to the Bible that was over 4000 years ago...
I think it's easily agreed on that there was some sort of global flood. We don't have people from that time period telling us what the world looked like pre-flood. So what type of evidence would you be looking for, for a change.

The alleged biblical flood was supposedly about 3000 BCE -5000 years ago.  Ancient Egypt has records back to about 4000 BCE and no global floods.  We know this because taxation was based on the Nile spring floods.  This is because how much food you could produce was dependent on the amount of flooding.  So the floods were carefully measured and taxes assessed.  No global floods - every year, flooding river measured, taxes assessed, repeat.  No global floods in ancient Egypt.

And I am sure if every where else on the earth flooded and Egypt didn't , someone would have commented.  No such commentary exists.  No global floods in ancient Egypt.  Bubble burst - POP!

 

If you open your mind to believe the improbable, it becomes possible!

Hey, let's argue with Nick about that one piece organic machine he has sprawling across his posts. What is that machine, Nick? Did it to spring into being complete and does this prove intelligent design?

This is more a fun post, so I wasn't really sure where to put it.

Did Noah walk to australia to get kangaroos and emu's etc? Or did he make a "little" arc and go to the different continents to pick these animals up?

How did he catch rattlesnakes and black mamba's, was he like chuck norris, just a bad ass like that?

Maybe it was like pangea then, and he didn't have to cross water? The flood somehow seperated all the land masses in 40 days?

I have questions!

 

 

Hello robj101,

When I asked these questions including 'where did the water come from?' at the good wholesome christian school I was attending, the answer I received was 20 lashes of the principles strap for questioning 'gods divine word'.  Unlike now you ask as a bit of a joke, but at the time my curiosity was very genuine.  This act of child abuse in the name of god along with most of my christian indoctrination has been a very painful part of my life, so please excuse me for failing to answer your questions in a comical manner.

Needless to say I am now an Anti-Theist and I really hate anyone who uses the bible to justify anything.  The words in the bible is poison and is responsible for holding back mankind, I am ashamed to be human knowing that many members of my species could beleive in that bullshit.

However to answer your questions the story teller was obviously unaware of Australia or even America and had no idea that a kangaroo had evolved, therefore failed to include them in the ark manifest.  I would also suggest that if a person of that era attempted to catch a black mamba or a rattlestake, he/she would have been bitten and died a painful agonising death, and therefore would not have attempted to do so.  No, Pangea is the name given to the continents before they seperated billions of years ago, at the time this story was believed to have occured (approx 5000 years ago) the continents (and sealevel) were very much in their current positions, it was not possible to walk there.
