Ah...

That would be a no then.

I am having difficulty because it is not coexisting with archaeology as we know it. I had been informed in Catholic school that the flood dates were 5000-6000 years BC. However although I believed it happened, I am not clear on the time frame. I will do some more reading and I will be sure to get back to you. Someone has e-mailed me a bunch of links on dates and while some are consistent 4500-6000 others are as high as 9600BC. I am having problems with the date that is my personal obstacle. My brain is taking in all of the information and telling me one thing and somehow my beliefs are telling me quite another. I had not ever encountered this until I tried to cross reference the dates with our archaeological finds. Thanks to my sister the damn paleontologist in the family.
Thank you for the link, another was not working either so it is a problem on my end. I rebooted maybe that will help, I will get to that when I can.

Genesis 7:
6 And Noah was six hundred years old, and the flood was on the earth.
7 And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him came to the ark from before the waters of the flood.
8 Of the clean beasts and of the beasts which were not clean, and of the birds and of all those which creep upon the earth,
9 two of each came to Noah to the ark, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And seven days later the waters of the flood were on the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, in the seventeenth day of the month, on this day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of the heavens were opened.
12 And there was rain on the earth, forty days and forty nights.[/quote]

I'm having difficulty believing that Noah was 600 years old. Nevermind the ark story. 600 years and only 3 sons and their wives?

If I get some more e-mails I will post them here, it is ridiculous and the person who sent me all that Michael Newdow stuff I must say, he really plays no part in my life or in the part of the flood and for your knowledge, I am OPPOSED to under God in the pledge, clearly it violates church and state. As a theist I would like it to stay, however it should not stay due to the violation. If anyone wants to know anything about me feel free to ask me, my life is an open book. please feel free to ask me questions here and feel free all of you to give me reading assignments and anything pertaining to the flood, I will review what I can , I am reading through all of your links now...

Juan from spain? please dont groan. You see I am quite fond of you and I want to see you smile instead. Juan, I am in love with you and when you groan at what I say part of me groans as well Now honey keep an open mind on this and I somehow have a feeling you may see my side of it you darn skeptic you. Now please kindly come over since I am sick and I think you could help me feel better in more ways then one. And do not let the fact that we are a continent away stop you.
Goodday love

Seanie,
you remind me of my younger brother. He would have replied with the same.

Amie

Maybe he wasn't a very sexual kind of guy, and really who has time for sex when you have to build the Ark

Amie, I'm just lurking on this thread so feel free to ignore me, but I find the formatting of your posts very hard to read. I know you're trying to answer many people, but please try to include some paragraph breaks when typing.

Thank you.

Amie,

I asked the following questions on the first page of this thread, and thought you were going to answer questions in the order they were asked, but it appears you missed mine. So here it is again:

See; that's what happens when the pressure builds up like that.

Whatever Amie's got to come up with... be it something you weren't hoping to hear, be it conclusions she wasn't prepared to draw...

I don't think things should be rushed. I have a hunch that'll just backfire.

May I boldly suggest we just let her tackle what's on the thread so far, before we start piling more and more on top of it.

I'm not saying 'have a little faith this'll work out just fine'.

I'm saying keep in mind it might not be wise to force the issue.

Marcel.

Amie, maybe you dont understand because you are beating an obvious strawman? Can you name a single person on the board that doesnt believe in 'some sort of flood'?

Of course you can't. I think every single person on this board would agree that there have been many, many floods throughout geologic history, including some which were large and catastrophic (e.g. the Missoula flood, perhaps the Black Sea flood). What we disagree with is Flood Geology -- the particular hypothesis that all or most of the fossiliferous sedimentary record was created ~4500 yrs ago by a months long, mountain-covering, global flood. See the distinction?

Referring to my webpage, Amie said:

Let me get this straight. You refused to look at the evidence contradicting flood geology because you thought I, personally, was somewhat rude? Aren't you embarassed to admit this?

MortalWombat

I don't think she'll answer that, seeing as it is another rude statement.
