There was no "Noah's flood", as far as I am concerned, except in your imagination. Despite my lack of belief in it, I am asking you about your belief in it.

It is amusing to see you back peddling. Why did you mention 50 000 years ?

What am I back peddling on? I mentioned that we know that the Aborigines were in Australia 40,000 years ago. If you believe the Flood/Noah story, do you think the Aboriginals came from one of Noah's sons? Do you think the Chinese Zhuang and the Nigerian Igbo came from Noah's sons? I don't believe in the Flood/Noah story. I am asking you about your belief in it.

I wouldn't say we know. There are a lot of unprovable assumptions made when arriving at the figure of 50 000 years. Why would I possibly think they didn't ?

You think it is impossible to not believe the Noah/Flood mythology?

Do you think it's possible that the Noak's Ark story took place maybe even as long as many hundreds of thousands or even millions of years ago?

I don't think anyone knows exactly how long ago anything in the far distant past happend, there is a lot of guess work and unprovable assumptions made by modern dating methods.

I like the more regional names of those mountains
Mt. Everest is so boring.
K2 is even more boring.

But I love to pronounce -
Kanchenjunga ! (28,169 plus ft)
Nanga Parbot ! (26,660 ft)
Dhaulajiri ! ( 26,796 ft)

What great names.

Annapurna,
Lohtse
Makula

Sorry, since a kid my brother and I loved and read about high mountains.

Oh so you don't actually know any and you want to google it up? Nah, it's alright, you clearly don't know your arse from your elbow anyway.

After the tower of Bable we know were they went.

How many years do you claim there were between the three sons' children having sex with each other and the emergence of the ethnic diversity we currently see in the world? For example, the Australian Aboriginals date back at least 40,000 years. How does the story of Noah's three sons having children fit into that?
Your going to believe people that just pull a number out?
