FIVE FLOOD STORIES

We Never Know

No Slack
Our closest relatives are chimps and bonobos. That split happened roughly seven million years ago by current estimates. That ancestor was an ape. We have not found that specific species, and maybe never will. There is no need to find specific fossil species in evolution, which is good since most species, land ones at least, do not leave any fossils behind. But we cannot grow out of our heritage.

Think of it this way, chimps are more closely related to us than they are to gorillas. It makes no sense to call chimps apes and to not call humans apes. It is simply a matter of prejudice when people deny this obvious fact. One may as well deny that people are mammals.

And the closest relatives of the gorilla's are chimpanzee's

That is not what I said. :facepalm:. (You know that I do.)
The Flood is in no way connected to a young Earth! Neither is A&E.
But it was what you implied. You just can't see that. And just about every version of the Flood Myth is tied to a young Earth. Tell us your version. I bet that I can explain why the evidence clearly says that it did not happen.

There is a flood footprint around UR about the time the Euphrates river changed course to the Persian Gulf, but the rest of Mesopotamia wasn't flooded.

People have different versions of the Flood.
Because during those times, people don't really care to READ.
They listened
When Noah and his family grew, grew and grew
They spread out to different places
Generations and generations and generations of people lived and died
They still remembered some of the stories of the flood
But dang! They couldn't remember it accurately.
So they developed their own versions.

Like those of your national anthem
Different versions of that Star Spangled Banner
from different folks


LOLOLOL.. The story of Noah and the flood is pure myth.

Whether the flood, Noah or the ark in your point of view is unbelievable, then it is unbelievable.
If it did not happen, then it did not happen.
People are entitled to their own opinion.
It happen a long time ago in a land far far away.

Sometimes people are naysayers, it is really up to them.

Like the Holocaust did not happen....
Like Elvis did not die....
Like Christ did not die on the cross....

Sure they could deny it a thousand times, you betcha.
That is what people say.


But it would take more to shake it off.
The Flood is over
The Fire is coming.

Futurists are very vulnerable to heretics and bad theology.
