Didn't anyone else have a boat? There had to be at least 1 guy with a canoe and a fishing pole, right?

The Bible clearly teaches that all flesh died...every man (Genesis 7:21). Genesis 9:1 confirms that only Noah's family was saved and that every person living today is descended from his family.

Well whattya know, apologetics actually helped an atheist.

You forgot about the Nephilim! (Gen. 6) they survived by hiding in their spaceships. afer the flood they turn up in Numbers to cause trouble.

Nah, as fast as that water would have been coming down, everything would have been swamped...including the ark.

Ye of little faith!!

You have eyes but cannot hear!

The same Power that allows the inhabitants of the Ark to clear away the excreted biomass everyday acts as a Magic Umbrella [Pat. Pending.--Ed.] that keeps them all dry and cosy . . . it also allows Olive trees to grow real fast . . . and doves not starve. . . .

If he dad know unstuctured space was deluge
and stocked his life-house boat with all of the animals;
. . . even the wolves, he might have floated!

But obstinate he stated the land is solid, and stamped . . .
watching his foot sink down into stone up to his knee.

OK, Mucko - you're hereby thrown out of Sunday school for challenging authority. Smart ass. I'm calling your parents too.

Mucko, "Didn't anyone else have a boat? There had to be at least 1
guy with a canoe and a fishing pole, right?"

Offa, in reply.

I think it is a little more provocative than that. The bible has
stories hidden within stories. True, the source was probably
Persian (Gilgamesh) and re-written both as fact and fable.

A cross-section of what is written is revealing to the non-
fundamentalist, i.e. Virgins are Samaritan women and Angels
are high ranking Samaritan priests. The Samaritans habited
between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea (in their Egypt). Josephus
tells an interesting story in the era of John Hyrcanus.

ANT 13.281 And when Hyrcanus had taken the city, which was not
done until after a year's siege, he was not contented with doing that
only, but he demolished it entirely, and brought rivulets to it to
drown it, for he dug such hollows as might let the waters run under
it; nay he took away the very marks that there had ever been such a
city there.

The above story is about Samaria and the city itself must have been
located on a stream (wady Kidron?) and Hyrcanus was able to dam a
portion of this river and thus flooding the city?

Thanks, Offa

BTW Amos, how do you do it! Makes perfect sense to me.
