Troy was once a "myth" also...until someone found it...right where it was supposed to be...but it took ground penetrating radar on a space shuttle to find it...
"science" once proclaimed the earth to be the center of the universe....it was accepted as fact...
"science" once held that the earth was flat...everyone knew that as true...
"science" has told us of extinct species...yet they turn up millions of years after science told us they died off..
"science" was certain that an ice age would devour the Americas by the year 2000...I remember quite well...they even proposed massive C02 generators to keep the planet warm...
Now "science" has changed it's collective mind again and it's global warming...but they cant explain global warming on mars at the same time...where no man drives an SUV...
I pity a man with a closed mind...you cannot enjoy the wonder and mystery of life for it's own sake...
Here are some of my "beliefs" for what it's worth..
Science will one day "prove" the existence of things once only faith held to be true...
We will surpass the speed of light through finding the secret of gravity...
Other intelligent life exists in the universe...
Man as an intelligent and technological being has a prehistory on the planet as yet unknown...
No "missing link" will ever be found....because we arrant from here...
None of these beliefs conflict with a belief that there is something beyond what we can see and touch to life...
I don't claim to have any mystical answers...but I've been alive long enough to know that we dont have all the pieces of the puzzle...there are some things that cannot be measured or cataloged...there are square pegs left over and only round holes...
Anyone who claims to know for certain is the fool...
Blather all you want.
How did the animals make it home?
What did the eat?
How did they get to the ark?
If there were 2 of every species, they would all be inbred by now and extinct.
How did Noah build a ship out of wood that was big enough to support all the animals yet not crack under its own weight?
What about the dinosaurs?
Insects?
What did the animals eat upon landing when the earth was ravaged?
I assume all the humans on the ark were white, how come we have so many races today?
When did this happen?
Where are the fossils of the animals at the landing spot (many animals only live a few months, so there must have been lots of dead generations, all inbred, around the landing site)
What did the koala eat? They only eat euacaplyptus leaves, did Noah send his sons out to australia to get a few thousand pounds of leaves that somehow didn't rot and put them on the ark?
I am asking you specific pointed questions for a reason, because you can't answer them without making up a fable. The only way you can answer these questions is to make stuff up and make assumptions and spout myths and miracles and outright BS.
If you want to believe in a world that is so simplistic that it was explained in its entirety 2000 years ago by men that lived in stone huts and crapped in the bushes, fine, you go ahead and use that as your science text.
The rest of the the world will move on, we won't miss you.
