If the flood was a fable then why is there fossilized evidence of sea life all along the top of the Himalayas, including at the Mt. Everest?Because mountains are created when two plates colide and push the sea floor upward. We also know that there used to be many inland seas. This explains your questions but in no way debunks Noah or tries to refute the bible. Accept simple scientifc truths when they are clear.

Not European swallows, mind you. Only a pair of African swallows. On a strand of creeper. Held under the dorsal guiding feather.

And we get our oil from all the dead sea creatures and plants that were buried under all that water.
Or was it from dinos ?
To: American Constitutionalist
I really don’t think it came from dino’s. I have a hard time believing that oil came from all the dead plants and creatures millions of years ago. There was always much more abundant plant life than animal life.

" literally "
Thems are called " Fundamentalist "
Some aspects and interpretations of some places of the bible could be taken literally when it is in it's proper context and other times as Jesus Christ sometimes would speak in parables taken as in a allegory.
The bible translates or rather the bible interprets the bible by it's self.
The book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is a " revelation " of Jesus Christ with many images, symbolic meanings, types, so on and so on.
When Jesus said about being it's so hard to get a camel through a eye of a needle ? does he mean that we should take a camel and try that ? impossible... it was symbolic.
To: American Constitutionalist
However, you put a needle through a camel, and you’re asking for trouble.

“Some aspects and interpretations of some places of the bible could be taken literally when it is in it’s proper context and other times as Jesus Christ sometimes would speak in parables taken as in a allegory.”
I get that. I’m attempting to clarify which is the flood, Noah’s tale, tower of Babel etc are. Are they allegories or historical accounts of what actually happened.
“The bible translates or rather the bible interprets the bible by it’s self.”
That’s convenient, and yet makes no sense.
No one ever tried to tell me the camel through the eye of the needle story was about a real miraculous camel who could squeeze through tight spaces.

" No one ever tried to tell me the camel through the eye of the needle story was about a real miraculous camel who could squeeze through tight spaces. "
That's why it is not something to be taken literally.
Jesus was trying to make a point with a mental picture of how it's more difficult for a rich man to make it to heaven because his heart is on his wealth than on God then it is for a camel to be squeezed through the eye of a needle.
He was making contrasts of 2 different things.
To: American Constitutionalist
Yeah, it’s obvious this is going nowhere. I don’t appear to be communicating well enough to be understood.

Oh your commincating very well.
About the bible interpreting the bible it's self ?
Study up on it, you'll see.
Perhaps this is not going anywhere because I am not following a certain preconceived agenda.
To: American Constitutionalist
“Perhaps this is not going anywhere because I am not following a certain preconceived agenda.”
I’m sure that’s it.
