According to the bible the flood happened about 6000 years ago, pretty most of the species available on earth existed at that time. . .



the earths landscape wasn't different 6000 years ago. . .Mount Everist alone is over 60 million years old according to scientific dating. . .The mythical flood did not create any ajor mountain any where. . .Most of the major mountains are millions of years old according to scientist. . .I told you in another thread that people were living and writing their own histories in places like china, india, egypt and south america uninterupted 6000 years ago. . .There is no evidence what so ever to show that the earth was once flooded, its just a jewish myth and fairy tale, many christians know this and are now saying that the flood was a local flood and not a global one. . .There is NO evidence for a global flood any where. ..



Continents were formed very long ago and not 6000 years ago. . .

I gave you some links on China as well. . .still waiting for you to probide any historical evidence to show that there were no people licing in China, India and Egypt 4300 years ago. . .

Carbon dating is 95% accurate. . .It is not the only method of dating available. . . As peterphd as said, if you and the deluded people whose work you keep reading to remain ignorant actually believe that carbon dating is wrong then come forward show that it is wrong and win a Nobel peace price. Your deluded people in answers in genesis just keep poking holes by pointing at wrong or distorted studies to decieve people. They know very well that they are lying else they would have come out in the open challenge the method and win a Nobel peace price. . .the fact that they can't says it all. . .Where is your historical evidence to show that there were no people living in India, China and Egypt before, during and after the flood?. . .Where is it?. . .

The flood remains a myth, remember according to the story rainbows began to appear on earth after the flood as a convenant between yahweh and his people to let them know that he will never destroy the earth with water again. . .This is very false because rainbows are simply a refraction of water droplets when they come in contact with water droplets in the atmosphere, rainbows have been occuring for millions of years. . .Provide your evidence to show that water droplets in the atmostphere does not refract against light 4300 years ago. . .Infact rainbows occur in planet mars. . .Who did your god have a convenant with in that planent?. . .Stop believing nonsensical mythocal stories. . .Christians that really have looked at it acknowlwdge that it is false but had to say that it is a local flood so that they can keep believing, the foolish one will go to any extent to tell lies just so that they can justify their belief, example answers in genesis. . those guys are pure liars and fruadsters. . . .

1st ola:

According to the bible, Noah was a Drunk...

OLAADEGBU:

Do you believe that?

mad nigerian:

Some plausible answers....

1.The Ark was bigger than we thought...since humans were taller back then

2.The Ark was probably a spaceship.....there is a school of thought that posits that the people who lived in Noah's day were scientifially advanced, and lost all that during the flood.[url]http://www.barry.warmkessel.com/NOAH.html#4
[/url]
3.The flood was local......research proves that there was a major local flood thousands of years ago.


Anyway....all the above is speculative!

amuneke-uto:
faith is the answer. just believe that it happened the way it is stated in the bible. period. don't add and do not subtract.

Mr Aboki:



My Nigga..

Did you just compare the Ark to the Pyramids?!

The Pyramids for starters was built by so many people.. The fact that their survey tools wey archaic, the principles they used are just also as acurate as the tools we have today. Infact, students of Geomatics Engineering study these ancient survey methods today in class in order for them to fully appreciate how we got here.


The problem here with Noah's story is not the fact that he was able to build a ship of that Magnitude in a time even before Moses (which means before the Pyramids as well as Egypt is a direct descendant of one of the sons of Noah according to the Bible), but the whole story itself..

The issues surrounding the number of people it allegedly took to build the Ark according to the Bible (because everyone in the town _{Which I imagine couldnt be that plenty} all called Noah a Drunkard), the fact that Noah was said to be 600years old and his sons over 100 years (And Methuselah who was alive at the time was about 1000 years old) at the time..

The gathering of all Animals from the entire world which first of all is a feat on its own, howhe managed to cater to that many number of animals for 1 year, how a ship of that size even stayed afloat with that number of cargo is another matter, How he catered to Fresh water fishes (which couldnt have possibly survived in the sea as it were, How he managed to keep animals like the Penguins, Grizzly bears and other animals that only survive in cold regions cool, how he was able to contain the insects like Mosquitoes and co (some of which have a life cycle that is very short), e.t.c..

The whole story sounds like a myth.. The ages of the Characters involved alone gives it away..

Evil Brain: How did Noah fit 2 million insects (1 million species x 2) into the ark? And how did be manage to fit 12,000 amphibians, 20,000 birds, 11,000 mammals, 16,000 reptiles and god knows how many crustaceans, arachnids and mollusks into a boat that must have already been overflowing with insects? Where did he find space to keep a years worth of food for all those animals? How did he keep the meat for the Lions, tigers and other carnivores fresh for a whole year? Why did he take mosquitoes, tapeworms, guinea worms and the HIV virus aboard the ark? Did he infect himself with all those parasites, or did he force his wife and children to carry them? How come all the animals didn't freeze to death at 9,000 metres altitude (the height of Mount Everest which must have been underwater) Where did they find oxygen to breathe at that height? What did all the animals eat after getting off the ark? All the plants must have died after a year underwater, and all the animals would have drowned so no food for herbivores or carnivores. How come all the fish in the ocean survived? Saltwater fish can't survive in freshwater and the ocean would have been massively diluted with all that rain. Or did the ark also have a salty fish tank with space for 60,000 fish (30,000 species x 2)? And how did he feed all those fish?

Not that I'm doubting this ark story mind you. Its in the Bible after all, so it must be true. I'm just curious about a few technicalities. I'm sure you have good explanations for all of them.

Frankenstein: 5000 people were fed with five loaves of bread. I'm sure you don't believe that too. The problem here is that some people are trying to use physical knowledge to understand spiritual things which is impossible.

phuck_NL:

Basically, you are saying take it or leave it. Therein lies the problem. I can not take it or leave it. So if I have no faith, I am a DEMON and will not make Heaven because I do not believe in THINGS I consider to be LIES? If these things are true, why do I need faith. What is wrong in the actual facts being presented. History has told us that when something is true good to be true or has inconsistencies without any factual backing, it is usually a LIE.

My question is this : WHY is it so HARD to believe that those who WROTE the bible LIED?
Why is it that now that we have a means of checkmating all the FAKE stories told, they never HAPPEN again?
Why did all these happen when there was no means of documenting it?
Simple answer - IT IS RIDDLED WITH LIES.

I believe in GOD but I do not believe in ANY BOOK OR ANY INSTITUTION because they are filled with lies. Yes NOAH probably built that ark. YEs there was probably a flood in some isolated parts of the world. Every other thing is a BIG FAT LIE

You mean we should get our answer from a 2 minutes 26 seconds-trailer?
And when did Hollywood start supporting the bible? Can't wait to watch that movie..Emma Watson? Very Great!!!

how dıd the ship manage to hold shark and whale? Why did he save snakes? Pls.i need answers?

NovusHomo:

Its a myth. It never existed.

jayAjoku:

answer this is there anything too hard for God...?

phuck_NL:

There are thousands dying in Africa today of hunger. We need some of that special bread. What makes people from back then different from people today?

born2fuck:

The Noar Ark, the fish that swallow jonah... God should help us

Frankenstein: You are full of unbelief. People like you look for facts and signs to believe but that's not how it works, OK. Has your science found any explanation to the healings and miracles that happen all over the world everyday? Or are they just staged performances meant to deceive people.. the only lame explanation science has got. Mind you, I've witnessed these supernatural occurrences myself.

OLAADEGBU:

If you insist that it is a myth then it's a true myth.

Frankenstein: This world is not our home. Death is just a curtain. People have being dying for several reasons since the beginning. But as our Lord lives, no righteous man or woman will die of hunger.
By the way, this isn't the issue here. Since you believe 5000people were fed with just five loaves of bread. Why should fitting every living thing in one ark be a tough job for the Almighty God?

phuck_NL:

You do not know me so do not go around generalizing. What is wrong if I chose not to believe STORIES?
Am I a DEMON for choosing not to believe something that doesn't look or sound logical? Why does it have to be in SECRECY? If it is true, why does it have to be RESTRICTED to a CERTAIN few? Are all MEN no longer EQUAL? The issue here has nothing to with science or me believing science. It is simply htat the story of NOAH's ARK and the flood that wiped out humanity is a lie. Show me evidence that proves otherwise and do NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT ASK ME TO HAVE FAITH because that is a lame excuse.

Abeg answer my question?

mkmyers45:

Your falling to account for marine life is inconsiderate.....

Freshwater marine life and many salt water animals will die due to huge change in salinity

Also how much food will non-hibernating animals and 8 human beings consume in a year?

Joshthefirst: nope, the flood got them all. It is recorded to be global, and the flood actually happened about 4500 years ago.

let's tackle this mathematically then, no need to make assumptions. Do the maths, and you'll see that its actually even more evidence of the fact that the global flood happened about 4,500 years ago. You will have about 6.8 billion people if you do the maths with a generation period of 150 h is very conservative. Human population doubles every 50 years about, inspite of natural disasters and deaths) bros abeg u are mouthed. Some people might call me an ignorant person for this post but I must confess I like the way u try hardto make ppz understand what u talking abt. Itshows the level of knowlege u have. R E S P E C T

If you do similar geometric mathematical reconciliation with even an age like 50,000 years, with only a single set of parents and a conservative generation period, we will have an impossible number of human beings (more than 90 zeros at the back of the 1).


So doing the maths well will even prove that the earth is younger than we think, and that a global disaster must have happened 4500 years ago that reduced humanity to a population of 8.

Frankenstein: Atheists claim that the world wasn't created by God and yet have no clue how the universe came into existence.
You want me to give you proofs, go to the book of Genesis and read up. A scientist can't prove that alkanes have a tetrahedral structural formula to a lay man that doesn't know the meaning of chemistry. No matter what I tell you, your unbelief will always make you see otherwise.
First of all, you have to understand who God is before you understand his works.
