This got me thinking about the show ... I could not find it (I could have sworn it was one of the Naked Archaeologist shows, but not finding it). Did find this one https://tubitv.com/tv-shows/501578/s01_e07_7_noahs_ark_was_there_a_worldwide_flood which looks even older, saying the same thing. Explanation is at around the 24 min mark.
There are several similar accounts in several ancient texts.
Hugh Ross never learned what I learned in grade school:
Water will seek it’s own level.
IF it rained for 150 days & the flood was that bad in the Middle East, the water would have sought to go elsewhere.
I say it was GLOBAL.
There are several similar accounts in several ancient texts.
It’s definitely one of those things I would call adiaphora
It was undoubtedly due to the unicorns and their evil SUVs. That’s why Noah left them off the ark.
i don’t even need the Bible to believe in the global flood. all i have to do is look at the ocean out my window and then look at a swimming pool.
or since 1969, I can just look at a picture of the earth taken from the moon.
it’s really a no brainer.
And Native Americans talks about their version of the flood. If Noah took all land animals onto the ark, he must have known about the Americas!
bkmk
I have wondered if the Great Flood was a result of a major meteor strike on Mars. They say Mars use to have water. Also they say it was hit by a major meter. So if during the collision the water was ejected into space could it have orbited til it reached Earth? Causing the Great Flood. Just a thought.
The plants were created and put in place on the third day, but the sun and the moon not until the fourth. How many centuries was that?
To look at the flood with the “approved” biblical timeline, and merge known historical and archaeological findings should bring forth the conclusion that traditional knowledge and dating out to 5K years is preposterous. The dates/timeline is wrong and yet we still push the same scientific absurdity that Galileo faced with the various seated councils & other bodies of antiquated knowledge.
That's because geologically speaking mountain ranges like the Himalayas are comparatively young. The fossils were left there before the subduction of the two Tectonic plates created the mountains.
LOL. No wonder you’re criticized for your take on Scripture.
My wife is directly descended from a Native American people. One of their well known legends depicts the flood and the destruction of a sinful people. Following that, a white prophet arrived and taught them the basis of morality and laws. The very same prophet announced he would return in a second coming in the far future. The accounts draw a direct similarity to the biblical histories in Genesis.
My wife is an unshakable Christian.
And quite the hottie.
With the way the sun distributes energy, the earth not spinning would be pretty crispy on one side after only a few days. A God who could create the world as we know it out of nothing by speaking doesn’t need any extra control of time.
Then the 6 days of creation could be figurative or literal, but how does that make a difference in how much He has proven He loves us?
And the same God could have suspended the natural law of water seeking its own level, but why would He?
How do any of you know the flood was not "global"? I was certainly universal-- all humans except 8 died. Why does it have to be "global"? Genesis does not say anything like that.
What about mountains?
If so, (captured ice body), then if it suddenly disintegrated and rained down, there was still that mass of a secondary tidal bulge that would have to dissipate its stored energy.
