So do you think that every mountain on earth is no more than 22.5 feet higher than the highest hill?

At that time...YES.

 

[HitchSlap]

Go re-read Gen 6-8.......substitute "local land" every place you see earth. You'll see the account makes no sense in that context.





Yup, only 8 people survived the world wide flood. If the flood was local then some near the border of the flood would have easily escaped. That would mean more than 8.





You do know Mt Ararat wasn't around before the flood?

Psalm 104:5He set the earth on its foundations,
so that it should never be moved.
6You covered it with the deep as with a garment;
the waters stood above the mountains.
7At your rebuke they fled;
at the sound of your thunder they took to flight.
8The mountains rose, the valleys sank down
to the place that you appointed for them.
9You set a boundary that they may not pass,
so that they might not again cover the earth.

Science has show this can happen quickly. When you look at recumbent folds in the rock strata one can easily determine the event was quick and the sediment was still some what plastic. Old Earth movement would snap, crackle and pop the strata as you can't fold a rock.

Your next issue is.....knowing water seeks its own level, where is the walls of the basin that would have retained your local flood?





True. They would have been post Babel stories.

Read Who We Are and How We Got Here, there were never only eight humans on earth.

The flood myth is cartoon.

Mything the point as usual.

Says the evidence... Reich’s just the one doing the research.

The creation / flood stories are myths.

So-called beneficial mutations accumulating and increasing information is a myth.

 

[HitchSlap]

We were never monkeys.

Correct. However, WWAaHWGH is about human genetics and population distribution, not monkeys.

 

[HitchSlap]

So-called beneficial mutations accumulating and increasing information is a myth.

Correct. But his research isn’t about this either.

 

[Strathos]

Where does it say that there were no mountains before the flood? In fact, it says explicitly that the waters rose to cover the mountains (meaning they were already there). And "the mountains of Ararat" are referred to as something that already existed and people were familiar with.

I'm not saying the earth was flat and void of hills.

Mountains such as Ararat were formed when the continents collided. I'm sure even you would agree with that.

Mount Ararat is actually a volcano that was built up via eruptions.

I stand corrected.

 

[lasthero]

I stand corrected.

So, are you then saying that the volcano was made during the flood, too? That the Ark settled on top of, what was at the time, an active volcano?

 

[Astrophile]

The scrolls were copies indicating Daniel was written before the Maccabean.

Not necessarily. The earliest of the scrolls is dated at 125 BCE, or 40 years after the date of the book of Daniel. Forty years is certainly long enough for copies to be made from an original manuscript.

Genesis 8:4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

I write a letter in 1972.

The letter is photocopied in 1985.

My 1972 letter disintegrates in 1990.

Q: When was my letter written?

You wrote the letter in 1972, but the surviving copy was made in 1985.

 

[AV1611VET]

You wrote the letter in 1972, but the surviving copy was made in 1985.

That is correct.

So it would be wrong to say I wrote my letter when Ronald Reagan was our president, wouldn't it?

 

[Astrophile]

That is correct.

Yes, it would be wrong.

 

[AV1611VET]

Yes, it would be wrong.

Daniel was a young man who was deported to Babylon from Judea by Nebuchadnezzar.
