Noah's Flood...

interesting article

i read the whole thing and your quote was the one thing that was absolutely rejected by me. many things said in it were either food for thought or correct.

i thought this embarrassed CBS even more:

As Ken Feder describes in his book "Frauds, Myths, and Mysteries," the special "was a hodgepodge of unverifiable stories and misrepresentations of the paleontological, archaeological, and historical records." It included the riveting testimony of a George Jammal, who claimed not only to have personally seen the Ark on Ararat but recovered a piece of it. Jammal's story (and the chunk of wood he displayed) impressed both CBS producers and viewers. Yet he was later revealed as a paid actor who had never been to Turkey and whose piece of the Ark was not an unknown ancient timber (identified in the Bible as "gopher wood") but instead modern pine soaked in soy sauce and artificially aged in an oven.

Red-faced CBS, which had done little fact-checking for their much-hyped special, said that the program was entertainment, not a documentary.

i have never disagred that there are religious charllatons out there, nor have i ever disagreed that christians do bad or misleading things. they are more trouble for me than you. it is also sad that believers would do such things but what can i say or do to change people when i have no authority to do so?

i know from my own research, both secular and christian, that the evidence is there to prove that Noah's flood was real and i won't change that line of belief. i have no problems reading more secular works to get more evidence, it is out there.

despite the author's assertion and what he bases that on is omitted, which is my complaint, the flood happened and the ark was big enough. it has already been proven so.

Nice way to avoid the questions. Convenient I calls it.
so you are saying it is okay to insult posters, their families and their friends (and tehir families)?

I think that it is more a matter for history if one insults the grandfather of a friend. Further, if the insultee is a public figure all bets are off.

Come on. If this guy's grandfather was Keanu Reeves are you saying that you would be outraged if I pointed out that his acting was on a par with that in my local middle school's spring gala?

why insult at all? just make sthe insulter look bad and sorry i disagree with that about public figures. one should never insult (i try not to but i do at times) no matter who they are.

The world needs to be protected from horrible pretensious poets.

Look at the evidences! Did we have an AIDS epidemic before Cummings? Vietnam? Neighbours? Billy Ray Cyrus?

The conclusion is clear. . . .

P.S. Now which Flood Myth should we believe?

Do you know how many millions of species of critters are on this planet? And if there is no such thing as evolution as you contend then there must be the same amount of species now as then. There is no way you could put 'em all on one boat. I mean just think about how ridiculous that is. It's physically impossible to have room for all those critters and food for them and food for the humans and living quarters for the humans. A modern aircraft carrier or oil tanker wouldn't have that much room. No way. Impossible!

You just say that . . . where is your evidence . . . blah . . . blah . . . blah.

Add in the man-hours required to deal with the "biomass" excreted by the beasties--and the numbers on this "ark"--and it further sinks the myth into stupidity.

Then add in the impossibility of such a flood in the time period required.

Then add in the lack of evidence for such.

Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. . . .

That is simply absurd.

Then again, you have your result, you are simply looking for data.

Can you imagine this stuff taught in our schools?

Frank, you shuld read your own scientist's studies. i will have to look it up but researchers have already said that the multiple strains of dogs originated from one pair.

evolution has nothing to do with it. one could say that the same amount of species are alive today as in ancient times, but there are a lot more strains around now.

Credulity being one that gets strained the most!

If multiple strains of dogs originated from one pair, it has a hell of a lot to do with evolution. How do you think all those other dogs got here?

Huh? Huh? Huh?
