9 Reasons Why The Noah's Flood Myth Is Ridiculous by Workch: 8:26pm On Jul 05, 2023
In no particular order:

1. The flood's impossible, and there are exactly zero signs of it in the geological record.

2. The boat would break up and sink. Sorry, that's what wooden boats that big do, no matter how “strongly" you make them…and especially when the makers have zero previous shipbuilding experience. To constitute seaworthiness of the hull of a vessel in respect to cargo, the hull must be so tight, staunch, and strong, as to be competent to resist all ordinary action of the sea, and to prosecute and complete the voyage without damage to the cargo under deck. A ship made of wood cannot survive the pressure

3. Recreating all the world's ecosystems would take millions of years, at least. It would make the KT event that killed the dinosaurs look warm and inviting. Basically, “life" on Earth would currently be mostly single celled with a handful of multi-cellular species.



4. There's literally no reason for an omnipotent god to kill things in such a pointless way. He could just “Thanos-snap" every one he considered a sinner away, without drowning so much as a single puppy, let alone all life.

5. Noah would have to have been one of the richest men in the world just to buy the lumber for the ark.

6. I should mention his lifespan was impossible. Oh, and he'd have no teeth for about 90% of it.

7. Eight people can't care for millions - or even just hundreds - of animals by themselves for a year. The fact that they'd be dead from all the toxic fumes of the animal waste within days doesn't help. Go and ask Obasanjo how he manages his farm, eight people cannot run it.

8. After getting off the boat, what did, say, the lions eat until the zebras had bred enough children that taking one down wouldn't extinct the species ( which would take several years, at best)? Heck, what did the zebras eat, given all grass was killed by the flood?

8. Did I mention God comes across majorly schizophrenic in this story, wanting to both wipe out all life and helping Noah to save it? That's a remnant of the original Sumerian version of the myth where the gods doing the killing and the god doing the saving were different entities.
That's just off the top of my head. Basically, nothing about the story is either possible nor makes the slightest bit of sense.

9. You can't fit two of every species on a boat that size…and two isn't enough to successfully recreate the species anyway (can you say “inbred as all f*ck?”).

When the things you created are no longer good, do you not destroy and wipe them out saving those good parts that you can reuse again?

You are even much more worse schizophrenic for even you have several times in this life wiped out good things which God never did.

Ordinary common sense would have told you that it is only the 2 which where within Noah's reach, which got in and not every specie on the earth! 6 and 7 is destroyed by this.

Workch:

5) Noah would have to have been one of the richest men in the world just to buy the lumber for the ark.

O end of the world child does not know that even as recent as 1980, lumber was free.

A criminals wish!

Omnipotence means that He can do it in any way He likes and anger and punishment means that it is supposed to be painfull.

Imagine, a criminal is asking to be punished painlessly. Madness!

Workch:

3. Recreating all the world's ecosystems would take millions of years, at least...

It took 7 days to create the world and its lights, how then can it take millions of years?

Floating is not sea worthiness. They were not travelling anywhere were they have to encounter powerful storms while moving in the direction of their destination. So all they needed was just to stay afloat. And wood floats, so no problem.

1. The flood's impossible, and there are exactly zero signs of it in the geological record.

When you wash a thing and it gets dirty again, can you find the signs that it was washed thousands of years later?

Obviously, this is a post of lamentation and loss because of the oncoming wrath of God, as it was in the days of Noah.

So, once again, the op is bewailing his destruction knowing that God has marked him for destruction; a fear of destruction which has given him no peace or rest and which yearly increases as the day of the wrath of The Lord gets nearer and nearer.

It is better not to be born than to have become an enemy of God!

Do you not see that i have countered him already?

If he is not afraid of God, he would not be here wasting his time and energy.

He is, that is why he is always attacking and attacking God. Normal living shows that people always attack things they fear eg poverty, death, sickness and for you people, God!
