Victerica: Of course, I do ponder on my assumptions. |

Victerica:We just did , through years and years of evolution , I know this is not convincing enough but isnt the biblical version far fetched?..... |

TheSourcerer: What started the evolution? 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by TheSourcerer: 5:19am On May 05, 2022 |
Victerica:it has always been there , planets evolve , stars evolve so yeah . |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by Victerica(m): 8:25pm On May 05, 2022 |
TheSourcerer: So that means, the evolution will continue... Humans will evolve? |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by TheSourcerer: 6:25am On May 06, 2022 |
Victerica:yes , possibly as the atmosphere changes , sun becomes hotter...or a drastic climate change that would force adaptation and evolution., although we have reached a point we don't need to evolve any more , we literally removed ourselves from our natural enviromennt to what we want , we don't run to catch/hunt food , or need bigger arm and longer arms to hold down prey and strike deadly blows, smaller brains to just hunt and have sex , evolution already gave us the biggest brain for our size... |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by TheSourcerer: 6:32am On May 06, 2022 |
Victerica:need for adaptation , need for the first conscious essence to survive this then cruel hot planet . |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by TheSourcerer: 10:27am On May 06, 2022 |
Victerica:yes even technological advancement cannot stop evolution , the Inertia (rotation) of the earth , the sun .....galaxies are evolution |

Victerica:Are you Theist ? I would really not like to talk to one now , unless you really want to know ....... Bless your day Vic |

TheSourcerer: I am a Philosopher! You can talk to me, I want to know! |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by TheSourcerer: 9:26pm On May 07, 2022 |
Victerica:yes humans will evolve..... Take for instance I forcefully place my finger in a key hole , do you know In next 30 years my finger would take perfect the shape of this key hole , on a larger spectrum thats evolution .the finger evolved to adapt to its current situation |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by seunH: 7:43am On May 08, 2022 |
TheSourcerer:But sir, you won't be able to pass the trait to the next generation. That adaptation would die with you because it's not genetic hence evolution would not occur |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by TheSourcerer: 8:55am On May 08, 2022 |
seunH:if my son and his sons all stick their finger into this hole as their great grad father ,grand father ,father before them did they surely would be a change in the finger different from their regular peers who their fathers never had to put a finger in the keyhole, there's a Japanese tradition in a remote village the longer your neck the more suited you are ,they used rings to make sure their necks are kept strsght and long and yes these Japanese children all naturally had longer necks them the regular people . So you do not believe evolution is taking /took place? 1 Like |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by seunH: 10:46am On May 08, 2022 |
TheSourcerer:Let 100 generations put their fingers in a key hole, if there is no change in the genetic make up of such individuals, there would be no trait to pass to the next generation hence no evolution 1 Like 1 Share |

https://www.britannica.com/topic/Utnapishtim Epic of Gilgamesh comes from Mesopotamia, the Semitic tribe(Shem) also comes from Mesopotamia, Noah was born in a Mesopotamia state. The Noah flood story were copied poorly from epic of Gilgamesh, the Sumerian texts. 3 Likes 1 Share

They were been half smart, and listed the flood stories in different accounts but all these stories come from the same origin which is the Mesopotamia state, the Sumerian text. All the 3 accounts comes from one source. What get tricky here is that you see how they talked about only “epic of Gilgamesh” and left other accounts out. If they had explained the other accounts it would have contradicted what they said about epic of Gilgamesh which is literally a Sumerian text, all the accounts comes from one source. Not surprising why they did that, it’s from a Judaism website the same sect that copied it from the Sumerian texts. 2 Likes 1 Share

TheSourcerer: Hmmmmm! My brother, I no go lie you oooo, Evolution is real... The mind evolves! However, there is a God who started and controls this Evolution! |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by TheSourcerer: 3:04pm On May 11, 2022 |
Victerica:Why do you believe God is real though |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by Victerica(m): 4:02pm On May 11, 2022 |
TheSourcerer: Because of the mysterious nature of life! Because of the presence of good and bad! Because of mystery of sleeping and waking up! And more! |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by TheSourcerer: 4:23pm On May 11, 2022 |
Victerica:Hmmmm I see. Because of the mysterious Nature of life ? There's nothing mysterious about life ,I f you have sex sperms and eggs meet , even rats do this bacteria too , nothing special /mysterious about 'life' , its just another circumstance Because of the presence of Good and bad ? This dosnt give reasons I would say I would worship a god (s) because of the existence of good and evil , if you say because of fear it will be more relatable ... Good things happen ,bad things happen , be a moslem , a non believer , a vodum practitioner , all are prone to both good and bad happening to them , infact its what keeps balance ... Even in the animal kingdom ......same rules applies Because of the mystery of Sleeping and waking up? Hmmm you seem to worship your god because of your fear of the unknown (mystism ) which is synonymous to fraud , anything mystic is usually fraudulently presented ..... So tell me why do you love God or why do you think God loves you |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by TheSourcerer: 4:28pm On May 11, 2022 |
Victerica: And more.....? I'll like to hear them Its okay if you feel there's no more though |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by Victerica(m): 4:00am On May 12, 2022 |
TheSourcerer: Now, why do you feel that there is no God? |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by seunH: 6:59am On May 12, 2022 |
Victerica:My brother, you are right, evolution is real. For example, the prevalence of AS Genotype in Sub-Saharan Africa shows that when Genetic mutation occurs, n Natural selection can make mutated genes to adapt, same for tuskless elephants in Mozambique, even our dark skin pigment are all evidence of evolution in action. But are they capable of bringing about new individuals, for example me and you, catfishes, goats, lions, iroko trees and all both plant and animals species we see? The answer is capital NO |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by Victerica(m): 8:02am On May 12, 2022 |
seunH: So you are saying that there is a God, right? |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by seunH: 8:12am On May 12, 2022 |
Victerica:There is no other explanation without sounding stupid, so Yes |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by Victerica(m): 1:20pm On May 12, 2022 |
seunH: Which is the best way to God? |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by seunH: 1:22pm On May 12, 2022 |
Victerica:Sincere worship and love your neighbors as yourself |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by Victerica(m): 1:24pm On May 12, 2022 |
seunH: Sincere worship through Christianity? |
Re: Epic Of Gilgamesh, The First Story Of The Flood by seunH: 1:35pm On May 12, 2022 |
Victerica:Your personal decision sir |
