is the biblical account of the flood truthful?

Go ask Noah, shem, Ham or Japhet they would have a better idea. Or BTW are you also wondering if this guys existed at all?

That's a pretty loaded question, no? Put it this way, it's a midrash. Read it, not as history, but as a teaching (if you are so inclined).

You wouldn't happen to have their e-mail addresses on you, would you?

Anybody apart from godless heathens want to tackle this one? I'll give you a hint of where he started to go wrong, Ron "I found the blood of Jesus" Wyatt. That's just a start. Another hint would be, how many boatish stones are on the mountains, and how boatish is the one they chose inspite of the others. So, have at it!

Meh! One of your links: http://www.users.bigpond.com/rdoolan/notark.html Intentional?

I remember posting that link on another forum, a good while ago, with something of a rebuttal after it (some of you who frequent that forum would of course remember it was the one titled "Noah's ark found…again.). What I liked about the article - and I still find it hilarious - was this part:

"Bob's team consisted of a "Who's Who" of business, law, and ministry leaders including Barry Rand (former CEO of Avis), the author and Christian apologist Josh McDowell, Frank Turek (co-author with Norm Geisler of I Don't Have Enough Faith to be an Atheist), Boone Powell (former CEO of Baylor Medical Systems), and Arch Bonnema (president of Joshua Financial)."

I mean why bother taking somebody who works in a field that deals with things like artifacts, petrification, etc, like say - I don't know - a geologist, or even an archeologist. Nah, businessmen, lawyers, and ministry leaders are just as good, because as we all know, Creationists are usually excellent at geology anyway…especially the Young Earth Creationists.

Maybe the inquiring minds can have a look at this. Explains quite extensively why the flood account is physically impossible.

it is only an atheist that will say dat flood thing is impossible. God can do anything he so wishes and not even what man wrote can understand the work of God. go figure. either u believe or u dont.

There were two great floods actually. So which one is being referred to here?

The bible says a lot of things that have been derived from other older books so it will be partly truthful.

Not sure if a guy named Noah actually took in every single animal on the boat. i think it was just their DNA he collected.

DNA? what da hell? u kidding right? come on. dat is way far back b4 science and technology.

Why does everyone refer to 'GOD' as a male?

have you got a problem with that?

You forget or probably dont know that ancient egyptians were professionals when it came to performing laser operations.
DNA why not?

After all,

you are funny.

me? Not really as i already know the truth. That is why i do not get wound up by such statements, just want to find out your reasoning behind it.

You are funnier

lol, well, i have been using He or Him to represent him since childhood and He said He made us in his form so i guess He is a Man then.

er no 'GOD' did not say that! the men who overlooked the putting together of the stories in the bible said that. As far as i know 'GOD' is more than one being. Same men declared that 'Jesus' was the only Son of God. Anyway that is what religion does to people. Turns them into sheep.

dont make me come there cuzz i aint no sheep.

Oh really now? lol

Actually no. Many Christians who've looked at the lac of evidence for a worldwide flood, have dismissed it too, including the Christian geologists that were part of other geologists that falsified the FLOOD (ALL CAPS) over a century ago. Let's also not forget the many other theists of otehr religions, and the agnostics that also don't believe a worldwide flood occured.

It literally doesn't get any weirder…actually, it probably does. So, were your two floods worldwide floods too?

Are you flirting with me Mr Dondele?

are u in your 30s? if yes den i aint but if no den i am.

@ KAG

Yes if you check the older versions of the bible, just before they realised it needed tampering with again, it mentions one flood before the creation of mankind the second time around.

Well i am in my 30s so you def cannot be experienced enough to handle my flirtations. Trust!

dat dont mean i cant handle you the other way around.

First, if they were world wide floods then the evidence still says no, it didn't happen. Second, care to back up your claim of tampering? Anything from the older versions of the Bible should do, or even the version in question.

@ Don

Enough of the riddles! Get straight to the point.

@KAG

Sorry dont keep any versions of the bible here. If you have an old version say dating back to 1950s you will find something on the 1st flood before recreation.

which riddles? i was straight to the point.
