If you can't understand that some details could be altered on the way down, then you are willfully ignorant.

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.

I did not personally attack you. I called a spade, a spade. To pretend to be completely unaware of the concept of stories changing after being written or passed down over generations is laughable.

Yawn. This is getting quite tiresome. Sorry, if I can't keep up with every assertion and opinion of you and your partner as fact. I can address quite simply by asking that you know no record was kept how again? Good grief.

A quick learner, I see. Here's an idea - go read the Old Testament some time. You'll see that indeed there was a lot of breeding within families. Did you know that Abraham was a half-brother to Sarah? God eventually put an end to such close marriages (or least told people not to do it) but that was long after the flood. Perhaps the gene pool was not nearly messed up back then as it is now, but eventually it became that way, so God told them not to marry close family members any longer.

Then again, you're not really looking for answers, are you?
