  • Why are so-called educated people here in the west still discussing this subject, it's 2011 & time to put these outdated myths to rest.

  • @ACCSESS247 Because most Americans are fawking ignorant.

  • There is not a NOAH'S flood!...The flood was DEUCALION FLOOD and happened in the Mediterranean ,and Aegean see!THAT'S THE REAL FLOOD!!!

  • THE FLOOD IN NOAH'S DAY WAS REGIONAL FROM EGYPT TO MT ARARAT IN TURKEY. It was not global. Noah was only the 10th generation of mankind, hardly enough time to populate the world. Moses said of it, THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS was flooded. Joshua wrote four times in chapter 24 saying ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FLOOD meaning people in his day knew where the boundaries of the flood was which they used to communciate boundaries. THE FLOOD WAS REGIONAL. Its not a myth. Search the Middle East.

  • @MegaSage007 Joshua said THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RIVER.

    Flood is the old English King James version translation, it is a mistranslation in modern English.

    Read the Biblical Hebrew Portal.

  • More absurdity:

    Genesis says that the ark held 1 pair of each unclean, 7 of each clean animal, "male and female."

    1. Some animals don't have 2 genders.

    2. Everything would not only be inbred, unclean would be 7 times as inbred. Any evidence?

  • @InternetDarkLord more absurd is you thinking that genesis is saying that Noah should bring every species on the face of the planet on the ark. obviously it was a localized flood so Noah would have brought the animals around him for both consumption on the ark, and for the animal sacrifice that genesis describes after the flood. Also, if you used common sense you would know that obviously Noah wasn't scouting around for every minute animal, including the ones that dont have genders. sighh...

  • @jamaicanification No, many religious fanatics insist the Flood was literal and global, those are the people I am addressing. Tell Behe, Hovind, Ham.....that the flood was local.

    Speaking of common sense, why build an ark or save any animals from a local flood? Common sense says you can walk to safety!

  • @InternetDarkLord when i say localized i mean in the region. And why not build a boat if the whole region might be flooded?

  • @jamaicanification What evidence is there that the flood was localized? And why build a boat if you can just walk to safety? Migration would be easier. And creationists like Hovind say the flood was global, not me.

  • @InternetDarkLord well stop listening to creationists like hovind. They dont represent the majority opinion. There are many people for instance that happen to be atheists that believe an alien is held in area 51. Should i listen to them and say that represents atheism? No i would be ignorant to do that. And the evidence is from the fact that that region has had a series of localized floods to the overflowing of the Tigris and Euphrates

  • @jamaicanification Actually, there are millions of people in America who believe the global flood was real, they probably are a majority of American Christians. That is why I battle them.

  • @SpencerBenedict2nd paranoid schizophrenia

  • @SpencerBenedict2nd So answer the question.

  • @SpencerBenedict2nd Bull Shit, I never said the animals on the ark were related, I said their descendants would be.

  • @InternetDarkLord Well their descendants wouldnt be able to propagate with their sisters and brothers right? 

  • @Sevenfold120 Insert a hillbilly joke! I guess they could marry relatives, but the inbreeding would be amazing! DNA today would show the results.

  • @InternetDarkLord DNA today shows we (homo-sapians) are descended from at the very least 10,000 people not from a couple on Noahs Ark. DNA would clearly show evidence for Noahs Ark. But it doesnt. It shows the opposite. Same for other animals in order for the animals to interbreed there would need to be a high mutation rate which we would still have today.

  • @Sevenfold120 Don't forget, Genesis said the ark had 7 pairs of clean animals, but only 4 pairs of humans. LOL! We would be more inbred than many farm animals!

  • Proof of the flood=

    1.all geology is caused by water, even crossbedded sandstone and ash.

    2.the animals ran half way up the hill, all fossils are found on the sides of hills.

    3.there are shells on the top of the mountain, Closed shells OMG

    4.they have found at least 6 Arks, one must be Noah's.

  • @gregrutz 1. Some sedimentary rock is not formed by water.

    2. Many fossils are not on hills.

    3. Tectonic uplift.

    4. Which one?

    5. Are you a Poe?

  • " I don't know .. I wasn't there " - :)) this guy is for real ?!?! :))), oooo yeah .. and " Christian missionaries telling about the flood "

  • the ark's dimentions is way to small for it to hold all it's supposed to do along with food and water for all onboard, and to make a ship big enoth to hold all that would be to big, it would crush itself by it's extreme weight, and to be able to build it in that timeframe you would need the help of the whole country or superman. it's just impossible, and if it now happend then all life on the planet is inbreed freaks against nature, there is more as well making noah's ark impossible

  • How come no one has yet to find any sort of construction site for the ark. The ark would have been huge required alot of materials . And wherever it was supposed to build would have let some sort materials behind like tools and tents and some sort of frame used to help hold the ark together as it was being build. Yet christians don't have anything close to anything of these things to support the ark story.

  • You guys will believe the history books that are taught in school, but you do not receive the Bible? How? Were you there when Abe Lincoln was elected President of the United States? No, but you believe it because of documentation and first hand witnesses passing down writings. What do you think the Bible is??

  • @spacitydrummer4JC It has nothing to do with actually being there ! Are you really that much of a moron. It's about credible sources and evidence to supports whether or not abe lincoln existed. There is a wealth of credible evidence to support that in fact abe lincoln did in fact exist. There pictures ,government documents etc etc. There is nothing to support that noah or his ark ever existed.

  • Hm, yeh. I'll buy the Noah's Ark story as litteral. God isn't in the business of writing books. -_- I mean, c'mon. about 300 flood myths and legends all dating around 6,000 years ago? I bet it happened after the melt-down of the last Ice Age (10,000 yrs ago.)

  • The flood is nonsense: Genesis is is fiction, allegory. From the 106 schools that make up the " Christian College Coalition" only 5 teach that Genesis has to be taken litterally and that the "global flood" really happened.

  • @lizazoon

    "From the 106 schools that make up the " Christian College Coalition" only 5 teach that Genesis has to be taken litterally and that the "global flood" really happened."-lizaloon

    >And do you know who's been in charge of this Movement?

    Answer: the Jesuit Order

    And would you like to know the reason why they are directing it and society into this direction?

    EVERYONE should be Asking this Question and Wanting to Know. ANYONE that is, who still cares about FREEDOM and their Families.

  • Noah`s Ark is childish nonsense. One of the great miracles of modern times, that there are still supposedly educated people who still believe this nonsense happened.

  • You don't need an event for a legend to be created. There is no need for a flood at all.

  • Watch "the Truth Behind Noah's Ark" It is JUST A STORY!!! All just  BS!!!

  • Find out what REALLY destroyed the ancient Earth and what these "flood" stories are really all about. This is something that neither geologists or religious folks do not want you to see.

  • What is the name of the flood layer of mud and bones?

  • Animals the God wanted on the otherside of the flood obeyed Gods voice and entered the ark. Simple but true.

    Why do you think dinosaurs are found, fossiled. God did not choose these animals to remain alive after the flood. They would, of course, terrorize the people.

  • Stop, you can't be that stupid. Dinosaurs died millions of years before people existed. Just stop being an idiot and read a science book or watch the Discovery channel.

  • I told you before, Natl Geo, Discovery etc are way of base. Earth is NOT millions of years old. But only about 6000 years old.

  • All science and evidence we have today points to the Earth being BILLIONS of years old. There is not a single shred of evidence that even suggests the Earth is 6000 years old.

  • @Splovengates7 - all the relevant sciences have confirmed the earth is nearly 5 billion years old. That is a fact.

    Only your faith says otherwise, as there is no supporting evidence. Get with the program.

  • @LiamXaoh •Cmon my brother, Science today exclude God and the Bible out of the geological picture.

    When you do that, of course youre going to come up with some outrageous figures.

    I also realize that most people dont believe the way I believe but there is a sizeable amount who do, as you can see on UTube. I pays to check out both sides of the coin. Somebody is lying and somebody is telling the truth.

    If you want to learn from God, PRAY. Ask for wisdom. Not as the world gives

  • @Splovengates7 - to be accurate science excludes those claims that are better explained by other means. Go & talk to a geologist about HOW they determine things. The methods are very robust and there are numerous cross checks. The bible viewpoint is it all happened & no other arguments are valid, regardless of evidence to the contrary.

    The number of people who believe in something is not the same as the weight of opposing evidence.

    "Lying for God" is what creationism is about.

  • there is evidence...you get with the program

    it has been presented publically as well....infact ryt here on YouTube, if you bother to search you will find it

  • @kccalden - all the 'evidence" is faith based. The evidence you speak of requires divine intervention and the suspension of the laws of physics. Any twat can preach facts on YT. I have invisible pet unicorns - disprove it.

    I live in the real world you live in the world of faith. Get over it.

  • sorry dude...i did some fact checks and found out that it was all BS,

    i guess guys talk trash on YT

    but one thing i will say, i once was an atheist....i tried out church and it worked 4 me, thats all

  • Comment removed

  • @LiamXaoh oops. I meant to say "live in a world of facts" not "like in a world...". I was tired and that's my excuse for shite spelling.

  • Just like unicorns!

  • where?

  • how could it have lasted so long without disintegrating.. *facepalm*

  • No the ark was not found. As if a world shaking artifact would be reported on some internet blog or trailer trash church and ignored by the world community of archeologists. Sure it has been claimed to be found, by many people in many locations, but not one claim has ever held up to scrutiny by even trained religious archeologists or scientists.

  • @sgmarshall The negro churches are just as bad.

  • where, when, and whom by ?

  • No, it was not.

  • how could the koalas get to the ark without a compass? 

    And since they don't have passports, how could they travel by airplane?

    Anyway I hope they packed their carry-on with enough gum leaves in case they got hungry.

  • There is nothing funnier (or scarier?) than watching GROWN men debate about the existence of Noah's Ark and the flood. Why is it so hard for adult humans to let go of these myths? Even children can see through the BS of these Bronze Age stories.

  • it's not that people are stupid, it's that people want to believe.

  • @tommo1313 "it's not that people are stupid, it's that people want to believe."-tommo1313

    >No, it is that people are stupid. Because their brains have been filled w/the junk-science theory hoaxes created by the Jesuit Order which spread like a virus in the early 1800's through the halls & rooms of Academia, indoctrinating the minds of millions w/a contrived "prehistoric" fairy tale world.

    The mind of an evolutionist has been brainwashed into believing in a story book world that never existed.

  • @Lawlzerzzz "Why is it so hard for adult humans to let go of these myths? "

    Same stupid attitude was hold by some archeologists about Jericho or Mount Sinai until strong evidence was found.

  • @mcfunthomas

    Actually, in the times of Joshua, Jericho wasn't actually there. It had already been abandoned. The bible places the battle around 1400 BCE; the abandoment of the city took place before 1600 BCE.

    Never heard about evidence of a significant event at Mr Sinai, though.

  • @Lawlzerzzz "Even children can see through the BS of these Bronze Age stories."

    This is so called ARGUMENTUM AD RIDICULUM. Mustn't be accepted. Why thumb it up? Ridiculous.

  • @Lawlzerzzz Actually it's not myth. This entire planet is covered in a 1/2 mile of sedimentary rock containing trillions of fossils, sedimentary rock only forms under water! Watch a video series called drama in the rock on youtube.

  • @micah1116 Or you could actually look at the rock layers yourself and see that the creationists are lying to you. I could cover a huge number of data points that show the fact that a global flood did not happen, but the quickest and easiest way is to discuss salt. Shall I continue?

  • @NorthForkFisherman Sure, Also explain how trillions of marine organisms are buried in solid rock where there isn't a drop of water.

  • @micah1116 Glad you asked! The vast majority of these deposits form limestone which is composed of coccolithophores ( a type of marine plankton). As an example, Austin Chalk, which underlies Dallas, is a 400-foot thick limestone bed made of the remains of microscopic animals, called coccolithophores or coccoliths. It is about 70% coccoliths. The coccolithophore is a small spherical animal, between 5 and 60 micrometers in diameter, each having about 16 coccoliths that separate upon the death.

  • @micah1116 @micah1116 According to Stokes Law these animals would fall through the water at a rate of .1 millimeter per second. To fall through a 100 foot (33 meter) depth of water would take 4 days. The time required to form the Austin Chalk is far longer than one year. The coccolith skeleton, when pressed flat, is about 1 micron or one millionth of a meter thick. A deposit of coccoliths 400 feet thick must represent many thousands of years of deposits.

  • @micah1116 One hundred twenty-one million coccoliths could be stacked up like coins across the four hundred feet. Now conditions such as a red tide could produce enough coccolithophores to produce a layer under extremely favorable conditions. A 100 foot water depth, filled to the maximum with coccospheres, would only generate a thickness of six feet of chalk!

  • @micah1116 The four hundred feet of chalk of the Austin formation would require 66 such blooms. If it required two weeks between each bloom to recharge the nutrients and one week for the bloom to occur, it would take 4 years to deposit the chalk. And these values are wildly optimistic for the deposition of chalk. This size bloom is not possible. The amount of carbonate required would be toxic to everything else in the water. And this is just one formation.

  • @NorthForkFisherman I'm sending you a link.

  • @micah1116 So rather than provide data and refute my evidence you run to AiG? Funny shit, that. I'll check it out. But are you ready to look at some salt and pollen data?

  • @micah1116 Had a chance to to read and fully understand that AiG link. It seems that they agree with old-earthers for the mechanisms but for one little factor-deposition rate. Stokes Law holds regardless of what portion of the bible you might read. in fact, the rate will only be at it's highest in totally calm conditions (lateral motion from, oh say, a flood, slows the rate). So, once again, FAIL. I'd have given you points for trying, except you didn't think through the data. (continued)

  • @micah1116 Now it's my turn: The Opeche Shale, a formation that streches from the Dakotas to Texas is of Permian age and has an interesting feature near the center: salt. The area of salt deposition is 188400 sq km with a max thickness of 91 meters at the center. Dividing by 2 to get an average of 45 m, you are left with approx 9 trillion cu meters of NaCl. The density of salt is 2160 kg/cu m, so this equates to 540k cu km of seawater. (continued)

  • @micah1116 So, to evaporate this much water requires an input of heat energy, 10^24 joules. That much heat energy is enough to reaise the earth's atmosphere to more than 100 deg C, twice over! Noah et al would've been cooked like a loberster in a pot. Now consider that this is just one formation. For example, under Detroit there is over 1600 feet of Salina salt in a formation streching from Ontario to Kentucky. Just too much heat.

  • @NorthForkFisherman So if it was too hot and this happened, why didn't everything die? Aren't you saying it got this hot in the past? The rock layers form under water, sediments stack up. Why didn't all marine life die? Surely fish would die with a jolt of heat like that.

  • @micah1116 Wrong. The total heat remains the same, that's a fuction of the chemistry involved. It's the rate that becomes the variable. More heat=less time, and vice versa. Terrencje has a great collection of videos that cover these particular issues that YECers aviod: watch?v=cKnMorRj00s So, would you like to look at some pollen data now?

  • @micah1116 All saltwater fish and whales would have died in the fresh water rain. It didn't happen.

  • @micah1116 Here is a fairly convincing, easy-to-follow argument against the flood using math alone. I suggest you watch it:  watch?v=5svTzxVa-xQ

  • @Lawlzerzzz LOL! Typical misinformation. Mt everest didn't exist until after the flood, there were probably very few mountains, the bible says the mountains arose during the flood, your assuming mt everest was around 4,000 years ago. Next, most of the water came from within the earth, a small percentage of it was rain. The bible says the fountains of the deep broke open. Ever seen the mid atlantic ridge? There's still water coming out of this giant crack that covers the entire planet.

  • @micah1116 Oh your bible says all that? Well that's funny, cause my geology textbook says Mt. Everest was formed about 60 million years ago. Looks like we have quite a discrepancy here. I'll go with my book -- the one that actually forms its opinions on evidence and not faith. See, that is how logical people come to conclusions. It's called the scientific method. Reseach it; it may help you.

  • @Lawlzerzzz Show me your best evidence of that claim. And please explain how there are thousands of giant clams and sea shells on top of mount everest while your at it. Actually they are on top of every mountain range in the world, supporting the claim that the mountains arose during the flood.

  • @micah1116 There are no “shells on the tops of mountains”,

    The whole top of the mountain is an OLD SEABED.

    Plate Tectonics pushed the sea floor up and erosion made it into mountains.

    And reefs did not grow in just a few months during a muddy flood.

    Also, Floods don’t make distinct layers of different kinds of rocks with different fossils in them, which is what we find in nature.

  • @gregrutz I find it funny how your troll around and comment on every video I comment on, yet your too afraid to actually debate me in skype about it. So, I'll extend the offer again. Your assuming the water was salt water to begin with. From what I've heard you can transition freshwater fish to saltwater in a tank in 10 years, by slowly increasing the salinity to what it is in the ocean, and the fish have no problem. Evos claim this transition took thousands of years, you guys make me laugh.

  • @micah1116 in skype, what the shit is that. There is nothing to debate, geologists proved there was never a flood. The first people to look realized it was just a story. 200 years ago, try and keep up

    The saltwater fish would have all died in the fresh rain or all the mud in the water. Silly story.

  • @gregrutz LOL. So there wasn't a flood, yet the earth is covered in an average of a half mile of sedimentary rock which forms in moving water, and inside this rock there are trillions of fossils of organisms that got buried quickly, and 95% of these fossils are marine fossils, but nope there wasn't a flood because you said so. Do you see why evolution is so silly? You have to be smarter than this. Either debate me in skype or stop trolling me, and you can figure out what skype is.

  • @micah1116 '''yet the earth is covered in an average of a half mile of sedimentary rock which forms in moving water''

    IT IS ?!? Who told you that??? Maybe you should go outside more often, and read a Geology book.

    What good would it do to debate you if you come up with silly crap like this.

    The Coconino Sandstone, the third layer down in the Grand Canyon, is from wind blown, desert sands.

    We know this from the fossils in it. There are 44 Distinct layers of DIFFERENT KINDS OF ROCK.

  • @gregrutz I'll just assume you have a learning disability and cut you a break. There are secular sources that say 1.55 KM, which one do you prefer 1/2 mile or 1.55 KM? Secondly, do you even know how sandstone forms? This is so hilarious, you know that not only does it form by wind, but it also forms in water and I would safely assume that most sandstone is marine sandstone. Secondly the footprints in the formation prove it was formed in water, maybe you should take a look at those, lol.

  • @micah1116 Marine Sandstone??!!??  That's funny. What about the desert animal fossils in it? Nice try but the fossils prove you wrong again. Those pesky fossils, no wonder creationist won't look at them.

  • @gregrutz what fossils? Amphibian tetrapods? What about the footprints? Secondly, I'm talking about the entire planet, ofcourse aeolian processes occur. Is it logical to think that footprints would remain in sand?

  • @gregrutz sandstone can only be formed once sand has been compressed this either occurs through being under water, or under other terrestrial layers.

  • @elgostine The third layer down in the Grand Canyon is sandstone from wind blown desert sand. And yes it is under other layers.

  • @Lawlzerzzz i dunno, because the theology and concepts pf the bible are, whether you like it or not is integral to our culture. and some people want to dig into the bible dechipher it

    devbates over biblical areas occur all the time, this is fine, itsdone using references to research, and expiditions, its not a sermon, its a logical debate. which is fine by me, the more discussion on all topics means you learn more.

  • @elgostine ''itsdone using references to research, and expiditions''  WHAT? They all have only one souce, the bible. It was divinely inspired and they still can't agree as to what it say.

  • @gregrutz well the original source is the bible true, but curious people wanted to find it,

    like david rohl tried to correlate passages to reallife sites to the location of the garden of eden,

    they have sources, i.e information from archaeological digs such as the egyptian stele mentioning israel. that sort of thing. these guys arnt exactly going at this blind.

    theyre following the same technique Heinrich Schliemann and arthur evans used to discover troy and the minoan palace at knossos

  • @elgostine But in the end, it's quite irrelevant. As the "Noachian Flood" never occurred, there is no ark. Now the bible my make an excellent resource for data like the Illiad did, it is not a geology textbook. Simply stated, the rock record shows no such thing happened.

  • @NorthForkFisherman i never said it did

    however, i do like people who go

    'if this happened THIS is how it would occur, how far it would cover etc' and doing so in a logical way.

  • @elgostine But logic and the YECer have very little to do with each other. I understand what you are getting at, and really this is an issue that has been answered with an examination of the epic of Gilgamesh I believe. My forte is geology more than ancient texts so I can only go from that, and as such, it's just that the evidence directly shows no global flood. I'm sure that local and regional floods have gotten conflated thru time, but the literal interpretation of Genesis is clearly wrong.

  • @NorthForkFisherman ill def agree with the first point, some of them are quite skilled and intelligent, but embracing an idea of faith and trying to passs offas science is really a bad idea.

    i heard theres a recording by one pastor who contends the original hebrew doesnt neccessarily indicate a global flood in the first place, by saying the word trandlated as 'earth' or the earth in the KJ version really should read the land i,.e the land their living in.

  • @elgostine And that certainly does seem to be much more of an accurate way to view the world. It's only recently that most people would have the means to venture more than 25 miles from their place of birth. And consider, if the original telling comes from the flooding of the Black Sea in Paleolithic times what kind of impact that would make. Little wonder that it gets the "fish story" treatment with time. But for people to say that it's a literal part of history? Oy vey.

  • @NorthForkFisherman well the same recording suggests the flood occured in an area surrounded by mountains, with an aquifer that wasfairly easy to overflow.

  • @NorthForkFisherman ill try and find it, its quite facinating'

  • @elgostine You might also want to read up on some of the flooding in the Oregon Scablands as well. Glacial dams collapsing and being rebuilt over time have created some fascinating geology in the American West. And the Ballard expeditions to the Black Sea have produced some interesting findings too. A great deal of human prehistory is lost on the continental shelves and in Beringia. And I'll check out that reference as well. Thank you.

  • @NorthForkFisherman " A great deal of human prehistory is lost on the continental shelves and in Beringia."

    >There is no such thing as "HUMAN PREHISTORY".

    The term jesuitical term "prehistoric" is fallacy, and a word created to indoctrinate a "fairy tale" time period in the minds of men.

    The Jesuit Order's "pre-historic" hoax agenda originated in the early 1800's w/vatican shills Charles Lyell, the Darwin Boys - Erasmus & Charles and Sir Richard Owen who coined the word "dinosaur" in 1842.

  • @NorthForkFisherman look up Noah's flood wasn't worldwide - Pastor Bernard Comparet (Part 1) itsd interesting to lsten to

  • @SpencerBenedict2nd Blanket statements made without proof are dismissed just as quickly. Additionally, arguments using ad hominem are also discarded. Since you seem to still have nothing further to say of any real import, or with any supporting data, you will be ignored.

  • The Mesopotamians agreed with the Hebrews: man was a sinner and the world was filled with much bloodshed and violence. They disagreed as to why. Before man was created the gods slew each other, raped goddesses, incest with mothers and daughters, lied, broke oaths. Man, made in the image of the gods, could be no different. Man was an immoral sinner because the gods were immoral sinners. The earth was full of violence and bloodshed before man's creation.

    The Bible denies this and shifts the blame.

  • question?,,you dont believe in the bible dont you?

  • That's right, I don't believe in the Bible. For the reasons "why"google mattfeld bibleorigins.

  • Enlil is outraged: all humans should be dead! Ishtar and Enki accuse Enlil of unjustly sending the flood, killing innocent humans. Enlil's punishment of man was unjust, too severe. A lighter punishment should have been executed. Enlil agrees with them. He blesses the Flood's survivor bestowing immortality on him and his wife. Story Moral: Unjust gods sent a flood to destroy innocent humankind protesting grievous toil in the gods' gardens of edin (edin is the uncultivated land of Sumer).

  • Enlil the god of Nippur had created man to replace the rebelling Igigi gods whose noise had been ignored by him night and day for 40 years protesting their grievous toil in his city-garden of edin. When man is created, the Igigi's noise is transferred to man. Man's noise is the protesting night and day of the grievous labor they bear in edin's garden at Nippur. Enlil sends the flood to destroy noisey man for violating his and other gods' rest.

  • The Mesopotamian flood account was a tongue-in-cheek satire on the gods' stupidity. The gods failed to realize if all mankind was destroyed no one would provide for the gods life's necessities: food, clothing, shelter. They grew hungry during the 7 day flood. Man's noise disturbing the gods' rest by day, sleep by night caused the flood to be sent. On the 7th day, all the gods rested, silence reigned, man's noise was gone, except for survivors on the boat. Hungry gods realized their error.
