Noah in New Jersey

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

No questions, I take it?

Two questions, one serious and one for fun:
Why do you seriously believe that Noah lived in New Jersey?
And do you believe that Noah spoke with a proper, modern New Jersey accent?

Why do you seriously believe that Noah lived in New Jersey?

The New Jersey Pine Barrens

And do you believe that Noah spoke with a proper, modern New Jersey accent?

No.

The New Jersey Pine Barrens.

But you said that the Ark was like a TARDIS box.... you can't make a functioning TARDIS out of New Jersey Pine...

Neither could Noah.

The New Jersey Pine Barrens.

But why? The Bible makes absolutely no mention of pine woods in the construction of the Ark, even saying gopher wood was used in the construction not pine and especially not New Jersey pine, and to try and get around the fact that New Jersey literally is half the world away from Mesopotamia, you put the Flood being when Pangaea existed, which completely screws up all of what geology tells us.
So, again, why do you believe that Noah lived in New Jersey?

 

[TLK Valentine]

Neither could Noah.

Then there was no reason for him to use New Jersey Pine.

Question, AV:

Have you ever killed a plant by overwatering it?

The Bible puts Noah out of Mesopotamia prior to the Flood, and the NJ pine barrens allows me enough leeway to assume he lived in New Jersey, which even Rick said was 'at least 2000 miles away.'

The bible doesn't locate Noah at all.

I'm not sure.

Just last week wife and I noticed our plant, which was placed under the A/C to catch the dripping water, was dead.

 

[AV1611VET]

I am glad to hear that, so let's proceed with how Noah gets from New Jersey to the Mountains of Ararat.

The Ark landed there, and Noah was in the Ark.

That is the single greatest example of ad hoc reasoning I have ever seen coming from a Biblical literalist. And no, it's not a compliment.

How do you come up with one land mass before the flood?

You're assuming that the NJ Pine Barrens existed prior to the flood -- why do you assume this?

 

[AV1611VET]

The bible doesn't locate Noah at all.

As I said, to be hanging around in Mesopotamia would have been disobedient to the command to replenish the earth.

His ancestors had been radiating outward from Eden for some 1500 years.

We went from Boston to LA in under 200.

So why are you assuming that there were pine barrens in NJ pre-flood? whatever plant life that existed on Earth would've been obliterated, and anything growing could've only grown after the flood waters receded.

 

[AV1611VET]

How do you come up with one land mass before the flood?

Genesis 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

Did Noah have a Jersey accent?

 

[AV1611VET]

You're assuming that the NJ Pine Barrens existed prior to the flood -- why do you assume this?

Why should I think otherwise.

Unless the pine trees were called gopher trees, their parents, which I doubt, why would I assume they were anything but pine trees?
