What makes you think it was quick?It's interesting that higher academia can be so quick to say this or that is a myth, but then can't (or won't) supply any detail.
Because they apparently teach that.What makes you think it was quick?
Inane or otherwise, most of them don't get answered, do they?Subduction Zone said:And you keep asking rather inane questions.
Meaning you don't have any?Subduction Zone said:There is no need to provide details.
If they were being used in lieu of the Noah's Ark story, you bet I would.Subduction Zone said:Do you demand details of the Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox stories?
Because I'm asking where Noah's Ark was built?Subduction Zone said:You really are not making any sense.
Well, I'm all broken up about it.Subduction Zone said:And you continually fail at this threads title.

Let's have a moment of silence for my grief .......................... carry on.
But it DOES MATTER if someone is going to come along later and employ need-for-evidence tactics to say the Flood was just a local one.But yes, in most cases where the hero of the story started out from is not told since IT DOES NOT MATTER.
Yes, that is called accepting reality. As a child you may have believed in Santa Claus. There is not much difference between the Noah's Ark story and the Santa Claus story. Both are based upon just a tiny bit of reality. Both are known to be false by anyone that can reason and be mature.But it DOES MATTER if someone is going to come along later and employ need-for-evidence tactics to say the Flood was just a local one.
Santa Claus is a poor example.As a child you may have believed in Santa Claus.
Absolutely.And you probably still believe.
Wrong, he is an excellent example. "Departure point" does not matter.Santa Claus is a poor example.
His departure point is well documented, and his work is accepted as global.
I disagree.Wrong, he is an excellent example. "Departure point" does not matter.
Not to mention Zeus, Neptune, et.al.Things just got a lot clearer.
The fact that the story is a myth makes the departure point irrelevant. Unless one is a Bible literalist, then there is no South Pole either.I disagree.
If Santa Claus' workshop started out at the South Pole and ended up at the North Pole, then whatever flood that took it there was global.
The Bible never mentions where the ark was built. It is presumed to have been built in the Middle Est since that was the origin of mankind, but it's entirely possible that it was built in the southern US because that's where the Arkansaw is. (Bad, I know) I know you think it was in New Jersey because of the kind of tree pitch used, but I find that argument sappy. Most likely it was in the Middle East in modern day Iraq. The ark was scheduled for a 90 day build, but the union got involved and it took around 100 years. Noah ran up incredible debt during the project, but he knew all the credit companies were going to be liquidated so he wasn't worried. Geico insured it in exchange for the gecko to have safe passage. The Unicorns would have survived but It was discovered that they tasted incredibly good. Sad for them.I'm still looking for someone to tell me where the Ark was built.
Correct -- and I wonder if God didn't have it documented it on purpose, so as to expose any myth that would arise?The Bible never mentions where the ark was built.
I'm aware of that, but mankind was given marching orders and told to populate the earth.KWCrazy said:It is presumed to have been built in the Middle Est since that was the origin of mankind,

If the Source Document doesn't have it, neither should its plagiarized or mockery accounts have it.

I find it difficult to believe that Noah would be in the area after 1656 years.
Why?Now this is the biggest head scratcher of all.
What exactly is the problem with humans moving over millennia?Now this is the biggest head scratcher of all. I do believe that AV has jumped the shark . . . Again.
Why?
If Adam lived in Mesopotamia, why does that mean that Noah also lived in Mesopotamia 1656 years later?
