They "speculate".

As they always do.

Such a gigantic flood would creat a HUMONGOUS genetic bottleneck, and thusly there would be evidence in Human DNA, not to mention other animals'. I do not know about other species, but Humans are fairly tight-nit genetically, and this (along with other things I don't have time to type) indicates that there was such a bottleneck. However, the time span required to diversify the entire human race is large.

On the subject of Evolution, why are black skinned people black? Because it was beneficial in their environment. Have you ever heard of an African getting sun-burned?
This is an evolution designed to protect the skin.

everyone knowns that the best thing to do in a flood would be to get you bare essentials and sit it over in a high place, yet this guy (in christian tradition- noah) buildt a boat, and took some animals (which are an additional burden if you ask me).
it is said that when many pople tell VERY similar stories, they probably describe something they heard or even read, while if they tell stories that differ substantialy it is commonly something they had experienced themselves (the obvious exception being eyewitneses of the same EVENT)
the main idea of my previous post was not that noah was from atlantis, but the fact that it is probably a common story, not a common flood, in which case we can assume it was a regional flood... but i digress. the main point is- too. many. common. details.

P.S. 5.7 ( approx 6) thousand years ago is just the old testament date for world creation, it has NOTHING to do with the flood , especialy since it's a global story. and all humans were black to begin with, they got whiter when they moved to colder areas. Get your facts straight, yobor

EDIT: sorry I misspeled your name

I don't actually know this 'yabor' person. I would like to meet him/her.

My facts are straight. The Old Testament is just as much the bible as the New Testament. If you are going to take it literally, take ALL of it literally. Genesis has very much to do with The Great Flood. If you are going to claim something happened, and use a horribly incorrect time-frame, and then try to put forth evidence for that timeframe, then NONE of your stories have any credibility.


And why might I ask, were all humans black? Evolution, thats right.

Here is my opinion...

The bible is an historical text that has been mutated to suit the needs of a militaristic and elitist church. The stories in the bible have been altered so much over the past 2000 years that you have to take everything in it with a little more than a pinch of salt.

But then thats just my opinion...

I believe there was a flood, Noah and many others like him around the world, were warned by the Atlanteans who were originally from Antartica. ( :crazy: You think I'm nuts now :crazy: )

Theres a good book called Atlantis Blueprint written by Colin Wilson(?) and Rand Flem-Ath, Colin Wilson is not a very good author his work comes out a bit Junior sounding, but it is full of some very interesting information.

His book is based on the work of Rand Flem-Ath, Graham Hancock & some other dead guy I can't remember his name.

Other good books you may want to check out on this topic:
Underworld: Graham Hancock
Fingerprints of the gods: G. H.

Damn, I can't remember the name of the other one. Its not flood related but it does give some insights into the TRUE nature of the olden days Christian church.
I can tell you that its by G.H. and Robert Bauval...
Damn I can't recall!!!

Oh yes Talisman!!! k:

you bet!
well actualy this Idea is AS GOOD as any other, except they wouldn't be atlanteans if tey were from Antarctica
and your view of the bible sort of matchrs mine (they're in the same direction at least)

:eeeeeh:
Yeah that was quite.....strange

After talking to my friend who is Christian. We both agreed that it was pointless to find scientific basis for the flood or genesis.
Many acts in the bible are miracles that defy scientific basis, and require faith. So why on earth do people suddenly come out with what are inaccurate arguements on a scientific level to support the bible?

The perfect example is when Jesus fed 5,000 people with two fish and five loaves of bread. Everyone was full, the fish were not whales, and the bread were normal size. Scientifically it is impossible. You can't find an arguement to explain it logically.

It was a miracle, if you believe in it then nothing wrong with that. But it is called faith.

Someone brought up the arguement against the bible, saying that there was not enough room on the ark for all the animals and their food. There doesn't have to be, God makes it possible.

There also doesn't have to be enough water on earth for the flood to be scientifically possible, because there isn't. God can make it happen.
