Throughout the video he calls anyone who believes in flood stupid. Now, if you did not hear that, than you are not listening and you obviously agree with him. I have better things to do than to sit here and argue with you about this video buddy of yours. I have not threatened you in any way and for you to keep saying that is an outright lie which is flaming and flaming is against the rules. I will make this real easy for you, I am unwatching this thread, it holds ABSOLUTEY NO INTEREST FOR ME, and I will not answer any alerts. You may have the last word, I don't care what you have to say.

QV the video at 05:37, and the damage done to the Ark and compare it to this pic:

Coincidence? I doubt it.

Not if he relies on Creationist claims about the flood instead of reading the Bible.

Yes. Stupid person can only attack the words of people. He is not able to attack a single word of God.

Notice what he's holding at 04:11?

Didn't God gave us the banana?

They've been selectively bred by humans (intelligently designed if you like) and are very very different to what they were like in the wild. In fact, they can't survive without human cultivation, I believe.

That is correct.

God first created the banana for consumption by animals, but then He gave us gifted people who eventually found a way to hybridize it for human consumption.

Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search out a matter.

Indeed. Creationist claims about the flood are neither scientific nor biblical.

And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
...
and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.


It seems to me the story of the flood only makes sense if all humans (apart from the ark's inhabitants) died. If this were supposed to happen at the traditional date (Ussher plus or minus a few centuries), we know it did not happen, because historical records of early civilizations show no discontinuity.

I take it then you have historical records of early civilizations before the Flood?

And Ussher's date is just another Creationist claim which is neither scientific nor biblical.

Well, if it happened earlier that that, then we have to rely on the geological evidence, which also shows something like this never happened.

Not so sure--I am reliably informed that there were episodes of widespread flooding associated with the end of the last ice age--the so-called "Black Sea" flood, for example.

Did the Black Sea flood kill all humans apart from one family? For instance, all humans living in Australia?

The Black Sea flood would have killed large numbers of people and completely inundated all the land the author(s) of the story knew about.

Australia doesn't come into it.

Throughout the video he calls anyone who believes in flood stupid. Now, if you did not hear that, than you are not listening and you obviously agree with him.

You don't seem to understand how this works. You made a positive claim. It is up to you to defend it. Now he may have said that the Noah's Ark belief is a stupid belief (which it is) but that is not saying that the person believing it is stupid. It appears that you made a false accusation against your neighbor, I do believe that there is a commandment against that.

I have better things to do than to sit here and argue with you about this video buddy of yours.

You are all but admitting that you broke the Ninth Commandment here.
I have not threatened you in any way and for you to keep saying that is an outright lie which is flaming and flaming is against the rules.

You did, but you did not understand how you did even though I explained it to you. A false threat of "you are going to hell" or even an implication of it is a threat. You can blame someone else, but it is the person that implied or stated that the other person is going to hell that made the threat. It is against the rules. Now to claim that I lied is also against the rules. You don't seem to understand what a lie is either. A lie is a statement with an intent to deceive. There was no intent to deceive by me. You should quit digging that hole that you are in already.

I will make this real easy for you, I am unwatching this thread, it holds ABSOLUTEY NO INTEREST FOR ME, and I will not answer any alerts. You may have the last word, I don't care what you have to say.

In other words you admit that you have lost and have nothing by running away. This is a typical action of someone that has false beliefs that he knows that he cannot defend. I would gladly help you, but you came in making false attacks against another here. It is rather hard to be nice to someone that acts that way.

Why not?

As I said before:

And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
...
and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.


It seems to me the story of the flood only makes sense if all humans (apart from the ark's inhabitants) died.

Was the Lord only angry with the wickedness of people who lived in the land the author(s) of the story knew about?
Did the Lord kill 'large numbers' of people, or everyone apart from Noah's family?

Your question makes no sense since there was no flood.

If you use Ussher's date for the flood myth then yes. TheEgyptians managed to totally ignore the flood. Pretty amazing. Maybe that is why the early Hebrews did not like them.

Yes.

That would be quite amazing.

Seeing as how the Egyptians didn't exist yet.

Genesis 10:6 And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

Mizraim = Egypt
