When God had Noah build the ark and the ark was as long as a ww2 aircraft carrier, how did he build it?  I know a little about wood boat building and laying the keel without bolts and drills would be something.  God didn't say he did any miracle in the building.  Do you think that these people had a different kind of technology and it was lost in the flood..  Where are the cities of that time?/ underwater, or did the earth's plates move and they disappeared.  \nI personally think that they had some other kind of technology that is not mentioned,  What do you think?

Dear Allen T,\n I hear by subjugate your reality and implant my own.\n\nDid you know that the "Bible" has been changed over the past two millennia. Since the Catholic church has left out the good parts of the "Bible" we no longer know what is true, but in the name of Jesus, Christians have destroyed other faiths of the world to supplant their own beliefs on other nations and people which in the "Bible" God says do not JUDGE others or their way of belief.\nAnd I quote nowhere in Genesis does it state that the entire world was governed by God.\n\nIf we did find Atlantis it would rewrite everything we know.\n\n"And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived and bore him Enoch: and he built a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch."\nGenesis 4:16&17\n\nNod means to wounder in ancient Hebrew coptic scripts. And we have yet to find "EDEN". AND ENOCH WAS A GOOD PRE-FLOOD CIVILAZATION AND IRRONICLY THE CHILDREN ARE OF CAIN............\n\n*stps off soap box* "Thank you. I'll be back next week." bows and exits stage right.

Of course the Bible is true. Noah's Ark was powered by twin-engine Cummins diesels. And Noah's old lady used to water-ski behind it. Any other questions?

No Larry,\nGod told old Noah to put 2 of everything on the ark. Problem was those darned pesky Pegasusi were frisky feeling because it was windy and no matter how hard Noah and his sons tried they just couldn't catch those wiley critters. ;)\n\nLL

No one created the tree, it was planted. That god can't create, he can only "form" and "plant" and clone what already exists. He was a mad scientist. The tree is knowledge and that god didn't want Eve & Adam to have it [knowledge]. What sort of god is this? Eve [who is life], was much wiser and desired wisdom, her husband Adam [the intellectual mammal] was stupid. So then Zoe (daughter of the holy spirit; consort of the cosmic christ) opened their eyes and liberated them [joined them to become one again] (for this reason the man will leave his parents and join to his wife and they will become one being again; when you make the two into one, and there is neither male nor female, you will enter the kingdom; gospel of Thomas). Then Ialdaboath the tyrant became furious because they became one again (I and the Father are one), and cursed christ's daughter [the serpent] and he also cursed what he created (actually what he formed, he "forms the light" that christ's father creates; bends time-space; second law of thermodynamics; entropy). God is invisible light (knowledge). That's level three of the Myth.

They came down with the polar bears, via FedEx.  God destroyed the first incarnation of FedEx, as well.\n\nEdit - reading a couple responses here, I see that we have a couple folks that actually DO believe this ridiculous fairy tale.  Let me explain... first of all, the story of Noah and the ark is quite impossible.  (But through God, anything is possible, right? Mmkay)  If the fact that it's impossible isn't good enough for you...\n\nHow about the fact that it's a pagan myth dealing with worship of the sun god?  This is not conjecture, folks.  This is fact.  See my source...

Huge Problems!!! where!!  have you ever thought the rules of the past may not be applied to what is today!  Adam is believed to have been created as a perfect being, and we know now that the humans are not perfect! get the point!!  Once upon a time Africa was a huge forest, now it is a big desert! ever wondered why!  think about it.\nDuring the time of ADAM and EVE, some believe didn't even have a spoken language, and now, we have so many languages!! ever wondered why!\nEarth is a living, or dying plant.  what was in the past, we many never see, or see again.\nCan you explain any of my questions! if you can! then you will get the answer to your questions as well.  Good luck if you can.\n\nIf the Genesis confuse you, try the Quran, but first take two asprines before you start reading. \ntake my advice.  Sincerely llewrose MD :)

This is a question that seems to come up a lot, but I love it anyway!\nIf the Bible is really God's word, then there is no problem at all with a literal 6 day creation story. (If you try to change that, then you have death before Adam sinned, and Eve could not be the mother of all living, etc ... disbelieving a literal 6 day creation will make you throw out more of the rest of the Bible than you get to keep.)\nI agree with the perspective that God could have created the earth with the appearance of age, created stars with light-years of light coming from them already, etc... I mean, if God can create everything, He can create it however he likes. (Side note on the age of the earth, did you know that according to evolution the earth is ageing millions of years per year? - Ask that one sometime!)\n\nBack when Darwin introduced the theory of Evolution to modern history (the idea goes back WAY before Darwin, but that's another story), he stated that for his theory to work, there must be evidence, and speculated on what it COULD look like - None exists today. Christians really dropped the ball on this one, and let this "theory" become equivalent to "science" (science must be observable and repeatable).\n\nIs there PROOF for creation? No (again, scientific proof must be observable and repeatable), there is not PROOF, but there is a lot more reasonable evidence that there is for creation.\n\nRegarding dinosours, the Bible actually speaks of them (and dragons) in the book of Job.\nSome remote cultures (The Congo, the Amazon, etc.) have recent (20th Century) stories of dinosaurs still living.\n\nThere's a lot more, but I don't want to get too long on you, so check out the link below for TONS more info, on this subject.

No, Eve was not created with Adam.  There is the legend of Lilith, the first woman, she refused to do what Adam told her and she flew off to eventually marry Salathiel (an Angel gone bad) and they had some hellashish creature babies.  OOOOOO now the Christians are gonna jump me, they ought to check out how many of each kind of animal was on the ark, and who really killed Goliath, and were did the Sons of Anak come from if all the giants died in the flood.  Just a few inconsistencies in that great book.  But I believe in what is right, my own version, and if their versions every denomination can be "the way," then so can mine, but only for me!  Thanks man, this was fun.

Thank you for the article- it had some interesting insights!\n\nI have long thought that there was something odd in the part of Genesis 2:1 and the phrasing Genesis 1 used. I've been looking for things that explained it and your article did just that.\n\nIt simply makes no sense that the God who sent His people to the wilderness for 40 years would have (or needed to) rush the planet in 6 days, then fake various items to make it seem much older. He does not work that way at any other time, so why then?\n\nI have said for years that when the Bible and science or reality conflict, our understanding of one or the other is flawed- and I think we've really messed up our understanding of the Bible!

Joshua.  People like you crack me up.  Really!  You argue about biblical-specific entries and events as if they were factual and undeniable.  "written 4000 years ago"  On what?  Notebook paper?  Do you have some copies of those 4000 year old writings?  Do you have some secret text that nobody else has ever seen?  Are you on heroin or acid?  What's your trip?  None of the authors of the NT witnessed the alleged resurrection.  No matter how you stretch it, there are no actual accounts of it.  Most of the NT was created and written in 320AD under the direction of Constantine the Great, and its puirpose was NOT for historic accuracy.  Its purpose was to create a doctrine at the Council of Nicea that all factions of religious doctrine could agree upon and pull everyone together.  Why does it appear that there only a few people that post here regularly who actually know this?  Is your only source of "history" the Bible itself?  Are you crazy enough to use the Bible to prove the Bible?  Talk about illogic!\n\nThe original poster is correct -- if the notion of god portrayed in the bible is accurate, then there is no need for "free will" -- God already knows how things turn out.  He already knows who chooses free will and who doesn't choose free will, how they act, and who the sinners are and who goes to hell.  He already knows the choices people made in the past and what they'll make in the future.  He already knows how things will turn.  Already been there.  Outside of the time line?  Fine, state it however you wish.  It's still the same.  He's all knowing.  He knows how the "souls" will turn out. There's no need for a test on earth.\n\nThe question is not flawed at all.  Your assumption that the Bible is incontrovertible is flawed, and your statements of biblical myths as assertion are ridiculous.  It is one of hundreds of unprovable myths on this whole planet, full of fatal flaws, like the one this question raises.

weird huh.\n\nconsider this too.  arn't we all really decendants of Noah?  after the flood he saved the animals and only his family.\n\npretty suspsicious.

Noah's Ark\n\n  Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, there lived a man named Noah.  Noah was a very good man, and God loved him because he lived like God wanted him to live.  Noah had a wife and three sons, named Ham, Shem and Japheth, and each of his sons had a wife. \n\n        It wasn't a very happy time on the earth.  There were big ugly giants that lived in those days, and people became very mean to one another.  There was a lot of fighting between people, and lying and stealing, and it was just all bad.  But Noah and his family were always very nice.  God became angry with all the mean people and the big ugly giants.  He was so upset with them all that he was sorry he made man on the earth, but he was very pleased with Noah and his family. \n\n        God talked to Noah one day and said, "Noah ... Noah.  I have to put an end to all of the bad people and giants on the earth.  I will destroy them all, people and animals, by sending a Great Flood, to wash them all away.  I want you and your family, to build an ark out of gopher wood.  Make it with rooms inside and make it really, really big.  Put a window in the top, so light can get in, and build a door on the side.  I want you to make it three stories tall with rooms inside." \n\n        God told Noah all the measurements to use in making the ark, like how long and how high and how wide to make it.  Then God said, "I am going to send two of every kind of living thing on the earth to keep them alive during the Great Flood.  They are going to live with you and your family on the ark.  And I will start my promise with you." \n\n        Oh my!  Noah had a very big job ahead of him.  He had never even built a boat before, let alone, an ark.  God told Noah just exactly how to do everything.  So, Noah and his family began building the ark.  They had to cut down big, tall trees for the wood and had to haul it to the place where they were building the ark.  They had to cut the trees so all the wood would fit together just right, the way God told Noah to.  They didn't have the same kind of tools back then, that there are now, so it took a lot of time, and a lot of hard work.  They needed tar to go between the wood, so that the water couldn't get in at all. \n\n        They had to build separate pens for all the different kinds of animals.  They built big pens for the big animals, like the elephants and the giraffes.  They built medium sized pens for the medium sized animals, like the cows and the horses.  They built smaller pens for the smaller animals, like the deer and the sheep.  And they built little cages for the little things, like the chickens and the birds.  They also had to build places to store all different kinds of food, for all the different kinds of animals.  Yes, it was a very big job, indeed!\n\n        People made fun of Noah and his family while they were building the ark.  They laughed and said, "Noah, you crazy old man, there isn't even a lake close by!"  Every time they passed by, they had something mean to say to Noah and his family about how silly they were to build an ark.  They didn't know that God was going to bring a Great Flood to wash them all away. \n\n        Noah didn't care that the people were laughing at him.  He didn't let the people or anything that they said, bother him because he knew what was going to happen.  He was very happy doing whatever God told him to do, whistling and singing while he worked.\n\n        It took a very long time to build the ark.  Many days were spent cutting and lifting and measuring and fitting.  It was hard work.  When the ark was finished, God told Noah to start loading the ark with his family and the animals because in seven days, the rain would start.  God said it would rain for forty days and forty nights, and that would destroy every living thing on the earth. \n\n        So, Noah did what God told him to do, and he, and his family started bringi

So how is YEC even a remote possibility in light of the massive meteors that have crashed into earth? I'm not debating the "age" of the meteor, not yet at least. \n\nHow is it possible, in a 6-10k time span that these meteors hit the earth and that mankind survived? There have been 5+ huge meteors that have struck the earth, in addition there have been over 140+ large meteors that have also hit the earth. The reason I bring up the 5 is that each of those five, by itself, is an extinction level meteor. Meaning that when it hit the earth, the entire earth was effected by it. \n\nIn otherwords it's simply not even remotely possible that the earth is around 10k years old. It has to be older, unless there is some explanation of how mankind was able to survive these meteor strikes. There certainly isn't any biblical support for the strikes. I'll admit there is some biblical support for possible meteor strikes, but there isn't any for meteors this massive. \n\nSo how do YEC explain them? For the most part, it seems that the YEC I've encountered have simply ignored them.

If it could be scientifically proven that no such Great Flood as mentioned in the Bible ever occurred it does NOT prove there is no God. It would prove that the Bible is not to be taken literally and that the fundamentalist Christian approach is less valid than viewing the colorful stories in the Bible as having a moral lesson to teach, but that is all. The nonexistence of God cannot be proven.

930 years old when he died.Noah was 600 at time of flood and I thought he worked on the ark for 100 years (?)

God can't just interfere like that, humans do this to themselves, understood???\n\nStory of Creation\n"When the earth was shapeless and empty"\n\ntranslated in hebrew more accurately, then english=\n"When the earth BECAME destructive and chaotic"\n\nThis was when Lucifer fell, and he interfered because He was the One who trusted Lucifer to be perfect. \n\nGod recreated the world in 7 days. This means he made the earth twice by flood. \n\nChrist's salvation mission was like the third flood that salvation last forever, the second was the noah's ark story.\nWe kill, its ok. BUt when we die, we get punishment. Hell.\n:)
