Noah’s Flood Confirmed...?

[freezerman2000]

From the American Heritage Dictionary:

And for the record:

Genesis 10:8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
Genesis 10:9 He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
Genesis 10:10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

"His Kingdom was" does NOT mean he built it...

In the event of a complete global flood there would be waves produced many kilometres high. This would be due in part to there being unlimited fetch* which is basically the length of water wind has blown over. Fetch combined with wind speed produces waves and with no continents or islands disrupting the flow of water Noah's Ark would not stand a chance. No modern ship could. In fact, a modern city probably wouldn't survive a wave many kilometres high smashing into it. How you expect a wooden boat to do it is beyond me.

oh wait, goddidit.

Well if he did, why even attempt to explain it? Doveaman, your faith seems weak.

Yet, the writing of the two accounts differ in when they were written...Gilgamesh was earlier by far...the Sumerians were the first to have a written alphabet and predate Moses.

And also were apparently able to breathe underwater, seeing as the civilisation emerged in the 4th millenium BC, and biblican chronology dates the Flood at about 2500 BC

 

[Doveaman]

Doveaman, with an all-powerful God, nothing would be impossible or implausible, however, I question the logic of using thousands of precisely engineered tsunamis to send a limited amount of water crashing over every point on earth, when you're an omnipotent deity who can just magic as much water as you need into existence with a flick of your beard.

God often works through natural events and natural people, in case you didn't know. Just ask any theistic evolutionist.

Or natural events happen naturally, and people choose to attribute them to God.

At best, you've got a mildly interesting theory of; "If there was a global flood, maybe God could have used tsunami to swamp large areas of land". It's hardly "Noah's flood confirmed"

Then which one of Noah's descendants did build it? in your opinion?

It does contribute to the theory that for a theocreologist, any evidence of any sort will do, to prove their point.

No amount of any kind of evidence can contradict anything they believe.

We wait for the theocreologist to find even one data point to falsify this theory about them.

This is a interesting topic. One thing concern me is that where does the water molecules disappear to after the flood? Assuming that water molecules on earth and those that are in the atmosphere is constant.

And therein lies the YEC loophole -- the water molecules will do whatever God commands them to do, just as God will do whatever His masters -- the YECs -- tell Him to do.

Plenty of verses speak of the entire world but it's clear from context it was a local phenomenon.

Actually, very seldom is the Hebrew word for the whole earth used. Usually it is a referance to "Adamah", the land of Adam or the Land of Eden. If it were not for Noah, then God would have had to find another way to save the animals that were in the Garden of Eden. What many consider to be the beginning of farm or domesticated animals.

Even so. It's clear this flood was not global. It isn't mirrored in biodiversity, geology, there's not enough water around... It was local.

Apparently, NONE of Noah's decedents built Babylon, unless you can find Sargon the Great in the lineage...Babylon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fair enough -- I shall relegate your dismissal to my personal stash of sodium chloride.

No offense --

Japan Quake Shortens Earth Day.

It’s amazing what a little earthquake can do to an entire planet, an earthquake which also generated a tsunami high enough to cause significant damage to northeast Japan.

Which reminds me of Noah’s flood; not only did water fall as rain from the clouds above, but Scripture also tells us “on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up” - Gen 7:11.

The “great deep” here may be referring to the great deep ocean, and the author may be referring to the earth’s crust being "broken up" at the bottom of the great deep ocean, generating tsunamis high enough to cover mountains, and even continents.

This would also explain where all the water went after the flood; most of it would have simply receded back into the great deep ocean, some of it would have been absorbed into the ground, and the rest of it would have simply evaporated back into the atmosphere to form clouds which then fell into the great deep ocean as rain.

I think the physics of Noah’s flood is being made all the more clearer now.

It's unfortunate what happened to Japan, though.

Hi, nice thoughts. Can you enlighten me a little? Which part describes the opening of the fountains of the great deep? Assuming that tsunami did occur. If the great deep burst can that really cause tsunami? I know that water will spew up as plate collides, but what does the fountains of the great deep got to do with this? Thanks.

how indeed.

The number is not constant.

And there was no "flood".

If a global flood occur why aren't there global canyons? Why does it only have to be one or two canyons in different states? Hmm? Just checking..

that is among the least little hints that its as fable.

Even the guy who thinks all the water went to neptune admits ther is not a trace of evidence anywhere of the alleged flood.

It wasn't global. Nothing backs that belief.

For the same reason there was no scar when God opened Adam up and removed a rib from his side.

Genesis 2:21 And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
