Of course it's not supported by fossil records. It's not supported by anything except faith. I just added some delusion from my own to this big delusion called "Bible".
Another plausibe explanation is that the animals were not gathered at once. Noah first collected the animals from Middle East, then he navigated to Australia and collected the animals there, then to South America, North America, then Europe and finally stopped by at the Everest, where the animals from Asia were waiting for him (the flood had already begun). At the time the Earth was flat, so it was not so difficult. When waters started to low, he did the opposite and returned the animals safely.
The explanation is very easy. At that time, animals were evenly distributed around the world. There were koalas, kagaroos, penguins, bisons, mooses, parrots, hummngbirds, caymans, pumas and golden tamarind monkeys everywhere in the world, including close to Noah's homeplace, so he was able to gather them all. After the flood, Noah used the ark to travel all around the world and freed animals in their continents as we new today.
It doesn't prove anything. It's meant for people who believe that the Noah story is real. It's trying to get them to think about their belief and how absurd it is.
Lol found the ark... are you a retard? The flood is an allegory, a poem, a story not meant to be taken literally.
Unfortunately religious idiots think it really happened when nature all around them tells them it did not. Have fun wasting your life with your invisible friends...something that is ok for kids to do but for adults that is a concern.
Hahaha...nature all around us does tell us it happened! The flood is estimated at around 4400 years ago! What age is the oldest desert? estimated 4000 years old! What age is the oldest tree on earth? Estimated around 4000 years old! Have you every heard of the the heat rings in Iceland? They prove the flood happened! The niagra falls prove the flood happened! Infact...i would say a great deal of nature proves the flood happened!
Most of nature proves that the flood is a myth. You can't pick and choose a few observations that you think support your claim and ignore the mountain of observations that refute that claim.
Hey there! I got part of the music from a random website that had free song clips. I wish I had written it down. Then I added the drum beat to the second half (it was sort of just a fiddle type of jig or something).
Hey, if creationism is real, how come penguins are found only at the south pole, and polar bears are found only at the north pole? That would imply evolution in isolated environments, wouldn't it? Because if they were created by some god, he'd put them everywhere, no?
Great point! Nature is just FULL of things like that; things that make perfect sense in light of evolution, but make absolutely NO sense if you're trying to argue for creationism.
Most of the videos like this one posted onto Youtube are posted by people such as yourself, who have done almost no study on the originals of Biblical text. Your opinions are just that. Opinions, not based upon any research, study or historical record. Basically....nonsense.
Actually I've done a lot of guided and independent research on the Bible. I've also read the whole thing, which is something many Christians haven't done. I may not have examined it with the biased fervor of one who believes it to be the word of god, but I am well-versed enough to be able to have a meaningful discussion with you. If you want to start dropping chapters and verses, go for it.
Reading the whole Bible is not like reading a novel or a history book. It is a complex mixture of intertwining stories that takes years to even begin to understand. That is the brilliance of it and that is why it can ONLY be from a Much higher mind. With that said, it is so obvious how little you know. You have Zeal without knowledge. (This is a scripture, by the way.) You don't know a fraction of what you think you know.
Well, 9 months down the road, and I've discovered that you are right. Mere reading of the Bible doesn't suffice. To truly appreciate the dense web of internal inconsistencies, logical gaps, and literary flaws, you have to listen to many apologists and creationists try to put their spin on it. Only then can you truly say, Religious people really are deluded.
What is funny about this, is you assume that because you can't wrap your mind around something that it is utterly ridiculous and impossible. What you are displaying is your unwillingness to consider the possibility that you are not physically capable of grasping that which you can't completely understand. So you narrow your mind to only consider that which fits into your limited understanding. You mock yet you can't even sort out your own existence.
1. If you mock Mohammad's flying horse, you can't sort out your own existence.
2. Failing to accept that the elephant god Ganesha has sixteen arms displays your unwillingness to consider the possiblility that you aren't capable of grasping what you can't understand.
3. You assume that because you can't wrap your mind around the sun being pulled by a chariot, that it is ridiculous and impossible.
Those are personal statements that don't further any debate about the validity of the beliefs.
None of the above claimed to be the creator of the universe, nor did they claim to be YOUR creator. Nor did they fulfill anchient prophecies to prove themselves true. You can't compare all God's to the God of the Bible. Anyone can make up a God. That is why God used prophesy to show He is the one true God. Try reading them to see what those prophecies were, when they were written, how they were fulfilled and the vast number of them before you mock. Seems your opinions are based on assumption.
Well, let's face it. All opinions about religion involve some degree of assumption. I just think my assumptions are a lot more warranted than yours. For example, I know for a fact that people can write stories in which a fictional character fulfills ancient prophesies. I don't know for a fact that any gods exist. Therefore, until I see a shred of evidence to the contrary, I will assume that the stories about fulfillment of prophesy are man-made fiction.
So the koalas built their own ark to get to Noah? Or did god build it for them? And if god built the koalas their own ark to get to Noah, then why didn't he just build NOAH an ark too? For that matter, why didn't god just build Noah a flying luxury hotel that hovered hundreds of feet above the raging flood waters, along with a vast zoo with spacious cages and ample food for a pair of every species? Here's why: because the Bible is absurd.
What makes you think the continents were then as they are now? And since you don't believe in God, you don't believe in a power greater than you so of course you think it's absurd. I personally think THAT is absurd. To think all the radically amazing things around you were not planned, even though their complexity is beyond comprehension? If a duck can fly North "just because it knows to" then it can certainly be drawn to an ark by the same source who gave it that intelligence.
You are assuming the land masses and climates were exactly the same. But there were dinosaurs in the Bible, so explain that. Just coincidence that there are perfect descriptions of them in writing, long before the first dinosaur was ever excavated? So many animals travel by instict. Who's to say the giver of that instinct didn't direct them? How do you know animals don't communicate with their creator? you don't know that.
You all probably don't REALLY want to make an argument based on instinct or plate tectonics or dinsaurs: things that can already be discussed factually. Your best bet is to argue that god actually DID create a giant hovering Hilton complete with an adjacent menagerie. At least that way I can't prove you wrong.
No, I was joking about the drought. I just meant it would have been better at killing off people with boats and fish and other things that like water. I mean the flood would be like a 40 day fiesta for fish - "Hey guys, who wants to be the first fish to climb Mt. Everest? Woo hoo!"
As far as the judge thing, why was he judging animals? I'm playing devil's advocate, of course. I don't really believe any of it.
Time on earth is temporary. It's a stepping stone to a bigger thing. He didn't judge animals, there's no reference of that. He only judges man. We are the only being in his own image with the freedom to choose.
God judged the whole earth because of our wickedness and sin
if he just performed a miracle and killed only the humans, there would be no evidence of this event and people in future generations wouldnt believe it
so he flooded the earth and killed everything in it
strata layers are all over the earth showing evidence of the flood, grand canyon, coal and oil layers
petrified trees running thru layers of rock that are supposed to be millions of years in different ages... wrong!
What makes you think leaving this earth is so "tragic"? God teaches about eternity. This is simply a short time on planet earth. That's the whole point of Christ. He taught eternity and the bigger picture.
Most death hurts....a LOT. None of us escape it. So what's your point? Does birth hurt? From where we came, to that we return. If a riot breaks out at Disneyland, they close the park.
My point is, in the Bible, god "destroyed wickedness" with an act of greater wickedness than anything any human being could ever commit. He's repeatedly depicted as holding us to a far higher moral standard than that to which he adheres. And yeah, if a riot breaks out at Disneyland, they close the park. They don't drown the rioters.
You might want to pretend that human rights "just happen". The very life you live is available to you because men were willing to kill for it for you. Evil had to be destroyed in order for you to live free. Like or not, that is how it works.
You misunderstand. I'm fully aware that the seeds of many of our most cherished rights were sown with bloodstained hands. But you said god created the flood to destroy evil because people were hurting each other. God hurt people in reation to those people hurting people. That's what you said. It's a hypocracy of biblical proportions. And as far as "destroying" evil, he did a pretty weak job. People still hurt people.
Also good! Other problems with the Noah's ark story, apart from christians celebrating the idea of god killing everything and everyone in world, which makes hitler, stalin and pol pot look like pussycats in comparison - some animals' diet (quite a lot of animals in fact) is other animals.
And surely there must have been other people who owned boats? How did god kill them off?
HAHA! Those are some good points. A massive drought would probably have been a much more effective way to wipe out ALL life. God really didn't plan things out too well.
It truly is frightening how many people believe this story is literally true.
