Did the Great Biblical Flood actually occur? (186)
study's have shown that there are mountains that used to be infact underwater,and that certain land masses that also was onces submerged arnt anymoor,
but im moor likly to belive that this could of been a pole shift or somthing like that

Read this, if you still believe the story of Noah, there is no hope of opening your mind and I give up.

Some mountains were, in fact, not mountains at all at one point. Plate tectonics is about land masses buckling and folding under intense pressure from expanding oceanic plates. This means that at one point the Himalaya's were in fact underwater before subcontinent of India rammed into the Asian plate. Now, they're the tallest mountains in the world. No pole shift required to acquire the fossilized remains of sea creatures when in fact, at one point, they were sea floor.
That tectonic shifting took place rather a long time ago! But it is amazing that people seriously consider this story as real! Maybe there was a big flood in some area of the Middle East that people talked up but that is not the world!
In response to: The Ark (according to YOUR authority, the Bible) was built by 1 man (with NO boat building knowledge or experience) and his family.

Why are geological eras consistent worldwide? How do you explain worldwide agreement between "apparent" geological eras and several different (independent) radiometric and nonradiometric dating methods?
You can’t use the bible to substantiate the bible or people will ridicule you. Why do you think this flood geology crap is refuted and not taken seriously in the scientific community?Localized flooding is a fact. The Ice Age is a fact. All that ice had to go somewhere when it melted.

Pretty interesting Site.

Yes a localized flood is quite possible but not a planetary emersion...but then we also get into the fact that the Sumerians had an exact flood story in their myths (written over a thousand years before the bible) Remember these people occupied what we now understand to be modern day Iraq. They were familiar with floods. They were dealing with the deadly floods of the Tigris and the Euphrates.

Good info Ooby - heres a similar one, I like the wry humour in this;
Point is, it didn't all melt at once and even if it did, global immersion would have been impossible. There's simply not enough volume to do so.
I'm sure the Native Americans thought the whole world was flooded during the Missoula deluge as well, but its all simply a matter of limited perspective.

I guess the Sumerians might have a case for some copyright infringement on the part of the bible authors. Good thing everyone is dead or else the lawyers would be involved by now.

From Intelligent design to Intelligent Disasters?

Well its not just the flood story, about 3/4 of the holy bible was taken from Sumerian myth but thats another thread...
Enki wouldn't mind. He's very liberal.

Very good! So you are aware of some of this? Enki and Ninhursag? Those were the original "Adam and Eve" and the "Tree of Knowledge" story is based on them.

Thanks for the laugh Trish, you made my day.
I want to believe in the story as that is where we get the rainbow from, God promised to never flood the earth again and the rainbow is to be a sign of that promise.

and how does this explain the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!? You are forgetting leprechauns and their theological significance!

"I do set my bow in the cloud."
God is rightly filled with remorse for having killed his creatures. He makes a deal with the animals, promising never to drown them all again. He even puts the rainbow in the sky so that whenever he sees it, it will remind him of his promise so that he won't be tempted to do it again. (Every time God sees the rainbow he says to himself: "Oh, yeah.... That's right. I promised not to drown the animals again. I guess I'll have to find something else to do.")

So for thousands of years the Prismatic Effect of a Drop of water didn't function,until some Deity decided it was about time that a Drop of water should break down the White Sunlight into it's Components?Not a very consistent God.

Soooooo your saying there is NO pot of gold there at the end.......Not a very consistent God.
I'll take the pot...
Has anyone been able to reach the end of the rainbow to prove there is no pot of gold there?
God promised to destroy us with fire next time, at least that is what I think he said.

There is no pot of gold at the "end of the rainbow" because there IS NO END OF THE RAINBOW!
When you see a rainbow from the ground, it always looks like an arch in the sky. Sometimes in the case of a strong rainbow you can see it from the ground on one side to the ground on the other. Have you ever seen a straight rainbow? Of course not because a rainbow can't exist which is not curved. The reason for this is because the reality of a rainbow is that it is a bubble. just like you see in yor bathtub. Viewed from ground level it will appear as an arch but viewed from above, say in a plane it appears as a circle on the ground.
Hey Jesse, cute dog!

There is a fundamental difference between the building of the pyramids and the Ark. The pyramids were built with the aid of 1,000's of people over many years. The Ark (according to YOUR authority, the Bible) was built by 1 man (with NO boat building knowledge or experience) and his family.
Add to that the fact that the pyramids don't have to float, they just sit on the ground.
