Why get rid of the global aspect of the story but hold onto the rest as literal?


You're asking inconvenient and uncomfortable questions, Themis. :wink:

I don't know if we will see many more answers from bomgeography.
This, or any other post that I have made or will make in the future, is strictly my own opinion and consequently of little or no value.

Ya I've noticed he doesn't want to go there. The oldest source material for Noah's flood is thousands of years after the event was supposed to happen. Why is it some people have no problem thinking other myths have little to no truth to them, but want to keep as much truth to their groups myths?

Childhood indoctrination?

SPG wrote:There are many inconsistencies with the story of Noah's Ark. It is easy to find flaws in the story and quickly dismiss it. That is the doubters way. However in the search for evidence of Noah's Ark many fascinating elements of nature have been found. There is evidence of a flood. And there are stories and several cultures about the flood. There are also stories of the last ice age in the melting of it. But there are also other spiritual considerations that the ark was some sort of symbol. I don't believe that it was a boat necessarily. Or that it had two of every animal on Earth. But in the old books there are references to the god of the world trying to kill the human race with the flood.
Please provide one inconsistency with regard to the Biblical Story of Noah' Ark. :geek:

The same could be applied to the Theory of Evolution as presented in Public Schools. I did admire the picture of the moth glued on the tree bark coated with soot though...

Who needs to look it up when it is indoctrinated in science classes everywhere without any consideration of Creation. Of course Creationism is presented only in private schools. Why don't you investigate that --- but we know ya wont. :ugeek:

It was creationists who brought us much of our modern science including evolution. Many Christians today have no problems with evolution.

Of course Creationism is presented only in private schools. Why don't you investigate that --- but we know ya wont. :ugeek:


I have had plenty of education about Christian ideas about creation. I have read the Bible from cover to cover more then once.
