So the fact that the stories aren't consistent proves the Noah's Ark story is true; and the fact that the stories are NOT consistent ALSO proves the Noah's Ark story is true

I said no such thing. My point about stories passed from generation to generation (whether in writing or not) still stands. If you can't understand that some details could be altered on the way down, then you are willfully ignorant. Were you absent from school the day the teacher did this very experiment by whispering something in one kid's ear to see what that would be by the time it got to the other end of the room? If so, I'll tell you how it goes. The last thing said is a bit different than what was first said.

You folks always leap to the personal attacks when you can't supply facts to back up your BS.

It's interesting how you cut out my entire post except for one sentence, never addressing why the folks who survived the ark's journey never bothered to keep a record--a consistent record--for their followers. If Noah's small family went off to populate the world, wouldn't their children be engaging in incest, since the couples didn't stick together but went off to begin what we know as the various races around the planet?

If four or how many it was couples left the ark, to restart the whole human race, they couldn't be bothered to scribble down the names of the other few people on the ark, somewhere, at some moment in the rest of their lives?

They didn't have the opportunity to scribble down "Noah is my father, and these are the names of my brothers and sisters-in-law, who went here, here, and here"?

I guess that was too much to ask of the handful of people who started the world from scratch again.

Yet thousands of years later, all their childrens' childrens' children all started vague stories about some flood, and THAT, though, is your "evidence>"

But since your logic is limited by your own admission to school games, this is too complicated for you to grasp. Sorry I assumed you were up to the task.
