My first post here, so here goes.

I read the biblical story of Noah and the ark literally. It is possible to fit a male and a female of every animal species in an ark with measerements as written in the bible. Every species has a lot (sometimes 1000s) of variations. For example: all sorts of dogs, birds etc. Noah just had to take a male and female dog for the dog species to survive, and preferably young ones (to conserve space). Only this way it would fit (logically thinking). Fly's, however, could fly and land on floating trees (when a pool of mud dries up, the first thing you'll see is a lot of fly's) and fish could stay in the ocean. See my way of thinking?

I think this theory is a lot more realistic than the alien-dna-databank one, or am I alone in this?

A long, long time ago, on the shores of the ancient lake that once existed deep beneath the Black Sea's current level, a man named - hell, Noah - went on a hunting trip west of his village. He met a stranger heading east. The stranger, we'll call him "God" arrived and said to Noah, hey, I just came from my village at the top of the mountain on the far west end of the valley beyond the horizon. The vast oceans are starting to overflow the little stretch of land that separates them from your great valley. Take heed sir! Pass my message on and save your village!

Noah got back to the village, told his family and friends what "God" had told him.

How can you trust a stranger?
What is an "ocean"?
I don't understand, what does that mean "overflow"?

Asked the villagers.

"This sounds like folly!" they said.

So Noah, who already lived near a body of water (namely the lake at the bottom of the basin) connected his fishing vessel with those of his three sons. They now had a very large boat, big enough for his wife, three sons and their wives, as well as the aurachs, chickens, pigs, goats, dogs, cats, a few other barnyard animals, and a pair of doves for good measure.

The other villagers laughed! "Ha, that Noah always was a crackpot." "Always thinking about things!"

Then, the flood began, the waters rose slowly at first, but as the force of the water eroded the land at the Dardanelles, the deluge became fierce and rapid. Eventually, the village was wiped out. His neighbors made it into their fishing boats - those who had them. Others perished and drowned.

From the middle of what became the Black Sea, Noah and his family floated about for 40 days toward the East or South with the rising gush of water, slowly being left behind by the motion of the water towards the eventual contemporary shoreline.

They landed somewhere in Turkey or Armenia or Chechnya and the fabulous adventure they had was transferred by word of mouth and ended up in the Torah sometime later in the future. Perhaps Noah was part of the Proto-Jews and reunited in Turkey to travel south to present day Israel. Or, perhaps displaced, they entered a land where the tribe of the Proto-Semitic peoples lived. More likely, as the story of the great flood was alive and well in the whole region, Noah is simply an allegory of faith, perseverance and the reward that comes from them, based on a real, destructive event.

Perhaps, if we trace the etymology of Noah, it would reveal an apt name for such a role in a previous language.

Its called constructive criticism, if you believe in something so stronglly then debate it, that way we may all learn something. Just dissing things because they dont fit in with what you have been led to believe seems a bit inside the box. Try stepping out `take a peek, you might like it.

It is not being close-minded.... it is not being gullible to the point of absurdity due to open-mindedness. If I was not open minded would I even try to look into this? If being rational is close-minded to you then may I be shut in by my thoughts forever.

I came across alot of the flood myths when we talked about ancient civilizations on this forum. It's amazing that every one of these cultures says essentially the same thing but with some saying more than others of that fateful time. That is why they don't dig to deeply into this in mainstream archeology. It's because just a cursory glance could blow a hole in when the flood may have happened. If it shows that it happened maybe 15,000 years ago, then it shows that man was actually living and making things and building things well before the 10,000 year mark at the start of animal husbandry and building of stone structures. And if more than one culture has it saying older than 10,000 years, then you can't say it's a made up story because across the planet it's the same story including the bible. You also can't say that it was a legend that was copied from the time of the hebrew bible because for one they got it from the Babylonians and the Babylonians got it from the Sumerians and it was legend to them. And two if they copied it from the Sumerian legends then that means that there was world wide trade and travel and whatnot going on long before it could have been by western teachings.

I have never heard about these other ones until I did my own research while posting on this site last year. This information is out there and modern academia is acting like a person whistling through a graveyard. And thats because it brings up more questions and theories that they can't answer with their narrowed world view. Just look at Baalbeck, the Pyramids and the other ancient structures around the planet built with massive stones and aged with antiquity. Where the much of the larger stones and such are done in a different style and than the recent ones.

I believe a world existed before the flood which was highly advanced in it's own right (with or without the help of beings from the stars and/or giant humanoid beings). Then a flood came possibly 20 thousand years ago or 15,000 years ago wiping out this civilization and the survivors had to build back over again. Since much of the know how was lost or in the hands of the few many people and/or decendants of this world looked at the remnants of the old world and just built on top of them and/or tore them down for building other structures. Many people think that it would be impossible for so many people and their achievements to be gone without evidence or even computers. First of all who says that having a computer or laptop is the pinnacle of civilization, it depends on what they thought was important. Two, there doesn't have to be billions of people living on this planet that long ago. It could have been a planet of a 100 million that lived in cities and villages and temples. When the flood came it destroyed these places and put them underwater (many cultures built their cities and towns by rivers and lakes and seas as a way to get fish and travel etc.. so if your looking for much of these places, look off the coast of your land mass in the oceans and other bodies of water.

And there would be no stories about the abductions because the world was destroyed

Exactly. That's kind of like the part of revelation where they say all the true Christians will be brought up into heaven.
