Noah's Ark

[afleitch]

I agree the story is compatable with the devastation caused by flooding after the last ice age about 10,000 years ago, but is nothing more than that. The ice would often melt 'backwards' creating lakes of water held back by an ice dam. When the dam was broken it leased mile after cubic mile of water into the surrounding area.

If there really was an ark, i doubt it could have contained the billions of animals needed. Once again jmfcst makes himself look stupid.

[afleitch]

Only 8. Wow. Those animals must all have evolved to create the billions we have today...eh jmfcst

[afleitch]

You couldn't. And most Christians, barring the fundamentalist ones, know that.

[afleitch]

Humans have been eating meat for millennia. A look at fossil dental records and your own teeth will show you that

[afleitch]

Don't waste your breath Gabu. Why fight with a bunch of puritans who conveniently ignore hundreds of years of historical study and scientific knowledge in order to defend the Bible. Thank Christ i'm Catholic. The Church may eb a bit nuts sometimes but at least it understands history and science and intreprets the Bible for what it truly is.

And how could they feed those 11 billion people with primitive farming methods?

[afleitch]

There is a boatlike formation on the mountain that could be caused by erosion or geological formations. Just like the 'face' on Mars. Looks man made, but probably isn't.

[afleitch]

There were not 11 billion people at that time as farming methods could not support them (we can hardly support 6 billion people now) There is no fossil or bone evidence to suggest anyone has lived to be 900 years old. Women only produce enough ovum to sustain fertility until their 40's and 50's. Whether or not they lived for 900 years they could not have had multitudes of children.

alternastives to some of the arguments.  The UK homo guy proposed "primitive farming methods" and I countered with an alternative.

Cheers Richius..very robust.
