Nobody
I repeat, nobody can prove there was never a global flood in man's history
Let's not forget that our earth is 70% water and most regions are on ice and note that the height of the mountains we see today was not the same as 4000 years ago... Mountains 'grow' and that is why the height of Everest and others keeps changing (Update yourself)... The Bible never said Noah went around looking for animals and it never said that all the animals came into the ark... It only said males and females of selected kinds of animals in 2s or 7s

The only issue is the events leading to the flood and the supernatural power
While many people, including atheists now agree that there was a global flood especially by confirming how widespread the story is across cultures and legend but, they say it is just an accident with no supernatural cause attached to it.

How do we know that it was God that brought about the flood?
Primarily, cos the Bible says so and the Koran supports that

Let's now leave Bible, if all life were wiped out, there would never be any human or animals today (evolutionists should take note).

That a family was spared in a global, catastrophic event that even the waters covered the highest mountains could not have been by chance but a miracle... Even animals were saved too, most of which were land animals and can't live on or in water. Could they have survived by chance? Even if they were able, we know that such a devastating flood covering all the mountains (shells and skeletons of sea animals give evidence to that), would not just come and disappear in one day. It will take several weeks or months... Even if this human family and animals were able to survive the flood somehow, they would also need to survive by eating and drinking... Such kind of flood would have destroyed all the trees and vegetations and all the water would likely be salt water which is not good for drinking. It only increases your thirst and you'll die more from thirst than from hunger...

Logically, the human family must have known that the flood was coming, they couldn't have flown into space to hide for all that period or hidden in any cave. They must have built an enclosure with outlet(s) for light and air and they must have packed in enough food for themselves and the animals for weeks or months.. This leads to another question? How did they know or what or who could have guided them? It could not have been chance but a supernatural source helping them to be well prepared and such a vessel must have been well-constructed spanning years and decades... Like Max said, it is a miracle cos such rains could have destroyed the ark too but God saved it

Now, the above is a good example of critical thinking and that is how I read and study my Bible... I ask deep questions too and do research. It is always like a jigsaw puzzle and I share with my Christian friends to strengthen them. An overly pessimistic critical thinking like the ones that atheists and Bible critics adopt is not a characteristic of intelligence. Besides, they don't belive that there's anything like truth or that truth is absolute but relative. Let them keep deceiving themselves...

I just used this small logic to present my points to everyone's understanding

I am Emmanuel
One of Jehovah's Witnesses
In Max voice, May you have peace cheesy

Gbam...

Even The Lost Book of Enki confirms that there truly was a flood... shocked
...

Only that Noah's name wasn't Noah but Ziusudra or something like that.
And ...
Only that the book admits that they whom the early earthlings call gods were present live on earth at that time and they were only aware of the coming flood but ignorant of the cause... also it claims that...

Only seedlings and genetical materials were adviced to be shipped and stored...

And..

That even after the flood, they, the so-called gods were shocked to find an earthling whom they've once banished at another far off locale, hale and hearty.. So their initial conjecture that the flood was a Earth wide calamity was erroneous.

Now, that's just all the Book of Enki and it's been real long I read the confusing accounts... I seriously don't bother with any account these days. Too lazy now.. cheesy

One thing though is for sure..

Civilizations (no matter how primitive they may seem compared to today)have always come and gone on this Mother Planet. As long as She continues to retain the capacity to sustain life, the Forces will always find a way to let life sprout on Her again. Unless this Planet loses that capacity, life will always find its way here and it's the same everywhere else (wherever that else may be) wink

So what's the biggie about arguing if God did it or not? God can still deem us all unfit or the next stage of evolution and eliminate us all, maybe replaced by a better long surviving specie. After all, we ourselves were a replacement for some other community of species along the way. Total extinction .. Nothing bad there if you ask me.. ..grin

The workings of our reality are wonderous and magical.

No Supernatural, just Natural but with an ill-informed and clueless Observer.. wink

If there were 10 million elephants on earth then, depending on how your god sees it, if an elephant is a clean animal, 7 will be squeezed into the boat, but if it isn't clean, 2 will be allowed to go in. Those in the boat now multiply.

master confusionist. you cant confuse me. if animals die in water dey rotten ,even if they get fossilized its only the bone that is affected. but the fossil records show skin details even eye, scales of fish, feather details of birds with great precision an indication there were quickly buried alive. whales cannot be fossilized in action while swimming in the ocean unless a situation like that of noahs flood proportion occurs.. the whale skeleton and other deep sea creatures found on mountain tops goes a long way to prove that once upon a time that part of the mountain was covered by huge volume of water and the animals where trapped atop the mountain as the waters receeded simple. this proves the bible true because it says that every mountain was covered as a result of noahs floods.

so go sit down find something else to do

You were already confused so I'm not to blame. LoLz.

Show me one example of a fossilized fish or whale with soft tissue that was found on a mountain.

Aemmyjah:


😂
Amd that supports what's you've been saying in your first comment about the fossils?
Still on the Bible narrative

1. The billions of preserved organisms found in the fossil record can only be explained by a catastrophic event like a global flood. It gives a conclusion that the rapid burial and sedimentation caused the organisms to fossilize quickly before they had a chance to decompose or be scavenged.

2. The vast distribution of fossils around the world, including ocean-dwelling organisms on mountaintops, suggests that they were transported and deposited there by a massive flood.
Only a global flood could explain the presence of marine fossils in high altitude locations.

Specific patterns in the fossil record indicate global rather than local flood events. They focus on the presence of multiple layers of fossils found in geological formations worldwide, suggesting sequential flooding events happening over a short period. The order of fossils found in these layers supports the idea that organisms were buried by water during the flood, with simpler life forms at the bottom and complex ones higher up.

The wide variety of fossils found in the rock layers can be explained by the catastrophic nature of the flood. They believe that the flood caused major disruption and rearrangement of ecosystems, resulting in rapid and widespread extinction events. Perhaps, the relatively sudden appearance of a large number of new species after the flood indicates that surviving populations rapidly diversified to fill ecological niches left vacant by the extinct organisms.


It's not only Sea creatures that we have their fossils but even land animals too. Many were found with food in their mouth amd stomach... What does that teach you? Like the Mammoth

Science is dynamic... They keep changing
You can accept what they say would happen 14 billions years ago but an event that is so widespread across everywhere you see humans is what you will blindly ignore... Blind atheist


LoLz. I showed you exactly what you asked but instead of engaging you ran to a different thing.

Now it's your turn show me an example of a sea creature fossil found on a mountain that is younger than the mountain formation and show us an example of a fossil found with food in its stomach.

This is a prove that you are dumb probably because your brain is at the alter in your church.

You read something the starts with "If" and you still went on to think I'm saying there were 10 million elephants. How do you even know the event was over 4000 years ago seff. tongue

Ọmọlúàbí simply means Ọmọ tí Lúà (Noah) bí!

At a point in time God's wrath came upon all the inhabitants of the earth and only Noah's family was spared, ever since then Yorùbá always refer to anyone with exemplary character as Ọmọlúàbí!

wetin this one de talk? there are over 150 cultures world wide with a legendry tale of a world wide flood and in this legendary stories only 8people survived in a boat . this goes to show you that these people are aware of such because this stories and legends where passed down to them from ancestors who witnessed it or were born immediately after the flood.

scientific observation and test have proven that fossilization cannot happend unless water is involved, the rapid burial of animals some while eating, some while giving birth as discovered in the fossile records have shown that they where buried rapidly by a fast moving water.

flavius josephus the Jewish historian wrote of the noah ark still sitting in mount Ararat in Turkey. he wrote of how the wood was still been scrapped of the ark before it was fully fossilized.

so you can see that history ,archeology, paleontology and science all confirms the flood as true. forget about the nonsense your talking about proffesor in nsuka.

LoLz. Why is that you can never substantiate the nonsense you spew. If the global flood is a history ,archeology, paleontology fact then it should be taught in school curriculum shouldn't it? So how come no competent university is teaching it in its history ,archeology, paleontology curriculums? Nonsense upon nonsense.

forget the propaganda of mountains rising from the sea they are pushing. Use your head. the so called montain rising is said to take many years to occur. A whale cannot die in the water and be fully fossilized and intacked . Fossilization of such nature happens rapidly and fast while the animal is alive. If a whale dies in the water they float the next day and are mostly torn apark by sharks and other sea creatures.this leaves no room for intack and complete body fossilazation, After which it decays and disintegrates to different parts of the ocean.

The link is to prove my point that sea creatures are found fossilized intact on mountain tops
