Originally posted by menace71of course it happened. floods happen all the time. and a really big one is sure to have happened. but a worldwide flood? please. imagine being a farmer who never left his plot of land. and then his whole "world" gets covered in water. wouldn't you assume as well the entire land was drowned? and then maybe make a story about the god(s) wrath?

There really are a bunch of flood stories from around the world. What do you all think about the idea that maybe these stories are fragments of the truth about something that happened?

I was reading these stories if nothing else it seems that man has it in his collective mind that in the past a flood did occur. I know most of these stories sound crazy but they all have a similar theme.

LOL thanks....Actually I was reading a lot of them. One they believed their god urinated into the ocean and that caused a flood! Crazy

I'm still not 100% convinced though that the flood of Noah did not happen.

but do so with an open mind. look at those proofs first and after at a book written by an ancient shepherd who did not witnessed the event and may or may not have been talking with god. try and realize that god is love and to believe that he gave his son to save us but before that he killed all humanity(most) including the children, that he allowed the "chosen" people to commit genocide in canaan, and more, is to stretch logic to the point of snapping.

i got the 600th 😀
i really see satan placing some fossils here and there to confuse scientists. i mean causing devastation and influencing mortals to take god's name in vain by producing an earthquake or giving cancer to small children gets so boring sometimes. the real evil is making christians becoming evolutionists. that's the real deal. the true test of satan's evilness.
This public computer thang is seriously crampin my style. I hope that computer guy fixes my pc soon..🙁

or so the heretic me claims. galveston disagrees.

Yes something ( Satan ) for sure has warped their thinking process to be way off. The scriptures say something so clear a 1st grade child could see it.
How can we have an intelligent discussion with someone who believes that?!
Let me tweak the sentence and it should make more sense.
Yes something ( the Bible ) for sure has warped their thinking process to be way off.
and again.
The physical evidence say something so clear a 1st grade child could see it.
Galvo if you have forgotten, it was you who was unable to provide an explanation as to why there is no evidence of a global flood in ice core samples. Your claim that the ice caps, sheets and glaciers are only 5,000yrs old sort of fell flat on it's face when the evidence you provided to substantiate your claim contained this sentence -
The Vostok core from Antarctica, which goes back 450,000 years
A litle embarassing do you not think?! Not even a 1st grade child would do something that daft!!!
