Noah's ark ? How ?

ok I messed up the first comment was posted by TheBorg...sorry

Nichole,

Like I originally said, I could be wrong. In this case, I think after having thought it over, my view was skewed. I've had a nagging thought for a while that the world is a lot older than we can possibly imagine, even based on our best assumptions. With that said, it IS possible that it could have happened mostly as you said, but for that to be the case, there have to be a few outstanding things which need to be calrified. Before I mention these things though, it should be stated that these are merely my opinions on the issue, and should not by any means be taken as fact, based on scientific evidence or otherwise. Ahh heck with it, read my sig's disclaimer (heh).

Anyway...

I think we humans were planted here by an outside force, as in beings from another location brought us here and physically put us here. This is a reasonable explanation for all the different kinds of people, as evolution is no where near fleshed out enough to describe all of the differences represented by the differing peoples.

Also, this would explain the different myths associated with the different cultures which circumvent the earth. Perhaps all the planet's civiliations had their own genesis, and they evolved from there on their own, with their own stories and ideologies, as well as their own unique take on an incident shared by others worldwide. This could in theory explain how it is that Gilgamesh had his flood story, and then the other civilizations came up with their's later. Maybe they all experienced the same thing, and just told their own stories in a different way. I dunno for sure, but it's just as possible as anything else scientifically uncovered, as there's not been anything really unearthed to say either way.

In any case, we both have to admit that there's a lot about our history that we don't know, as in how long did it take the continents to move to their present locations? We can't know the speeds that they moved 50000 years ago, as that constantly changes. As for fitting all of the animals on the ark, it doesn't say that he took EVERY kind of animal on the face of the planet into it. It's explicitly vague in that department, as if to suggest that he only got the ones in his area, which brings me to my next theory.

I think it's also possible that the other civilizations had their god come to them, select one or two people, and tell them that there was a flood coming, and that they should get a ship ready with all the things that they would need. They may not have been as big as Noah's, but they would have been big enough to preserve the different peoples for all time. Now it's possible that these floods happened at different times, but I can't be sure on that. More research from everyone might uncover something substantial in that area.

These are just a couple of my random thoughts, some of them can be supported, while others are easily shot down like a hot air balloom. Lemme know whatcha think.

Okay ... I got into it this week with a Baptist woman who refuses to listen to the science... to the Epic of Giglamesh ... to the physics ....

Apparently I'm going to hell and missing salvation because I know that Noah's Ark is a myth. :shk:

Anyone got anything that I can say to this woman next time she jumps on me? (and make sure it isn't !$@%#$@!! - as much as I'd like to say those things, I have to work with this idiot).

Oh .. and she refuses to see that aliens are in the bible (the Nephalim story is SOOO OBVIOUS!). She said she doesn't believe in anything that isn't in the bible. I brought up that germs aren't in the bible, but they are real. I brought up that XRAYS aren't in the bible, but they are real. Same with Jupiter ... etc etc etc

But it's like talking to a STUPID wall.

Anyways - any ideas on what to say to this woman next time ... to wake her up??

The more I read, the more I come to this same thought.

I was wondering if any one could explain how Armadillo's got from noah's ark (middle east) to Texas and without leaving any trace of itself outside the america's?

Some Christian and Hebrew scholars would say that the SIN consciousness that came into the world took a while to corrupt the DNA and lifespan..the immunity we enjoyed slowly slipped away as the wickness grew. The flood was to kill the evil seeds that had occured from the fallen angels ( Nephilim ) mating with the earth women.

Although the physical seed of sin was wiped out, the spiritual sin continues, and will until the final judgement when death and sin are cast into the lake of fire( destruction). Accordingly, the age of man regressed over time until people lived a very short span in the middle ages, and only after the Enlightenment period did the overall health and size of people start a slow gaining that we see to this day.

Thats what some would say; others would say many other things, of course. Hope this helps.

Ah yes my sheeple. Come and graze in the fields of ignorance and deception.

Seriously guy's, petrified trees upright going through many sedimentary layers, fossils of fish giving birth, the impossibility of the earth being billions of years or even millions of years old due to the planetary drift and the cooling down of the sun. You guy's will believe anything a "scientist" tells you or an "archaeologist" tells you. I guess you believe anything a politician or the government tells you as well.

Sleep peacefully my sheeple, for tonight in your slumber the Wolf will slaughter you.
