Noah's Ark

[WanderingProtagonist]

First of all, I am not convinced that the story of the flood would require that the flood be global. 'Under heaven might refer to one end of The horizon to the other. Babylonians were described as coming from the end of heaven but when you got to Babylon that was still sky there.

H'eretz.and is translated from Hebrew as the Earth but he could also be translated the land and sometimes her for a specifically to the land of Israel depending on the context.

From what I read scientists have made discoveries that indicate that there is an ocean underground deep down under there that is actually bigger than the oceans on the earth. some portion of the earth is made up of compressed high pressure solid water such as ice IV or ice V. so there's plenty of water down there for water to come from the great deep.

if a boat were floating above the surface 20 miles above where we are now but it's surrounded by water all around I would not think that they would freeze or that there would be no oxygen because the water regulates the temperature and also you have the air being pushed up higher.

But Noah's flood requires numerous miracles and extra little miracles are needed to preserve their lives then I don't see how that's a big issue.

As for animals, it it were not global, that's fewer animal. I would imagine baby lions would be easier to feed. Maybe there was a proto-great-cat species.

There's a man named Philip Williams who wrote about how NAMI, a Chinese Christian group, went up to the remains of the ark on Mt. Ararat. he with a tour guide took the arduous trek up the mountain with another American woman he said he did the lady's first thing so he was the second American and first American man into the ark as far as he knew. so he went into the wooden structure up there and posted his pictures of you know wood peg type architecture where they cut out with pigs and slide it into grooves or holes that they cut into the wood that sort of thing.

Then various scholars joined together and call the whole thing of hoax even though they wouldn't look at the information or go look at the ark. they basically accused his tour guide, Parusut... or some name like that... who took him up there being a con man

If it were localised flooding then why would Noah need to spend a year on the ark? Why wouldn't he just sail to a nearby land and go there instead? Seems a bit of a stretch to say it was localised floods anyway, the Bible says the flood water reached something like 20ft taller than the highest mountains. How could floods that completely submerge mountains be localised to one area?

The flood was a miracle. Either way, it requires a huge quality of water.

Why didn't God just kill all the naughty people with magic heart attacks? Even Light Yagami from Death Note could do that. Does that mean that Light is more powerful than God?

As a pagan, you believe there are a lot of powerful spiritual entities out there. You should be careful with the disrespect. I'd never heard of Light Yagama. Apparently it's a fictional character. But why would God give everyone heart attacks when he could wash them away in a great flood?

All GODs are pretty much fictional beings, people made them up. Hell India have dozens of GODs they worship and believe in. Yet the one GOD claiming all others to be false was invented by the people of Israel.

Why wouldn't God use magic heart attacks? Then not only would he not need to kill hundreds of different animals for no good reason, he wouldn't need to kill innocent babies and children.

Job 14:5 says,
"Since his days are determined,
The number of his months is with You;
You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass."

You are dependent on God for your next breath.

No sane person would ever worship something so evil. You've been hoodwinked and totally brainwashed.

Your a pagan and you write that? Worshipping evil demons is what pagans do. Don't you worship Hindu gods?

Dogs are hands down the best animals for me! Their loyalty, companionship, and endless energy make every day better. I wasn’t always sure about having a dog because of flea concerns, but Bravecto Without Vet Prescription https://www.worldpetexpress.net/blog/br ... escription made it so much easier. It keeps my pup protected without the hassle of frequent treatments. Now, I can’t imagine life without my furry friend.
