Well, God didn't say it.

So, that's a NO?

Do you have any words of support for him and his wife?

No words of support for his wife -- just a couple of questions.

Does she know he has been carrying on an affair; and now that her husband's g/f has kicked him out, does she plan to take him back?

The Time Cube doesn't touch so much on the subject of Israel. So, I'd say the answer is 無.

*gasp*

The plot thickens!

This thread is an excellent example of how such things as the Epic of Gilgamesh got written.

It's fun to parody Truth, isn't it?

Actually the Epic of Gilgamesh is older than the bible story.

 

[AV1611VET]

Actually the Epic of Gilgamesh is older than the bible story.

Actually, it's not.

The earliest Sumerian poems are now considered to be distinct stories rather than constituting a single epic. They date from as early as the Third Dynasty of Ur (2150-2000 BCE). The earliest Akkadian versions are dated to the early second millennium, most likely in the eighteenth or seventeenth century BCE, when one or more authors used existing literary material to form the epic of Gilgamesh.

On the other hand, the Flood occurred around BC 2350.

The Gilgamesh copy may be older than the Flood copy, but the event itself could not have been written before the Flood.

The Gilgamesh copy may be older than the Flood copy, but the event itself could not have been written before the Flood.

One could easily argue that the authors of the Bible borrowed from Gilgamesh. Especially considering how young the oldest copies of the Bible are.

But let's get back on topic.

Everything on earth was written before the flood coz it still has not happened.

OH and also, Gilgamesh is estimated to have reigned ~2500 BCE. And his story has him hearing of the flood tale, so it must be older than him. So yer date is wrong anyway.

Emphasis on "estimated"?

And like I said, I'm sure Shem and Nimrod had heated discussions on this.

I'll side with Shem -- if you want Nimrod, that's your prerogative.

Actually, it's not.

Actually you haven't shown that.

 

[AV1611VET]

Actually you haven't shown that.

I can only do so much, then I have to stop.

Science is myopic in some places and blind in the rest; and for being so myopic, she sure makes a lot of demands.

And God doesn't cater to those demands, either.

What He says, goes; and if science says otherwise, then science can take a hike.

 

[TerranceL]

I can only do so much, then I have to stop.

Apparently you have to stop at the point where you'd be required to actually show any evidence.

 

[AV1611VET]

Apparently you have to stop at the point where you'd be required to actually show any evidence.

Sure would -- and a good thing too; because I don't have any to show, and even if I did, science is too myopic to see it.

What Flood, AV?

Do you ever get tired of making up nonsense in vain attempts to make yourself look clever?

(YES or NO, please)

This was a fun thread before AV intervened. Any chance everyone could pretend he is on ignore and get back on topic?

This. We have an OP with a serious relationship issue, people. The least we could do is try to stay on topic.

Seriously. AV went all Agonances of Susa on this thread.

 

[Phileas]

I'd accept her decision and comfort yourself with the knowledge that somewhere within the many branching worlds you are still together. Alternatively you could each try a different interpretation altogether; how about the ensemble interpretation?
