S.A.,
Officer Shem, my son asked me yesterday what will happen to all the extra water when the flood is over. He want so know if space aliens will come and suck it away with straws. Can you please help him answer this?
We plan on disassociating it. this reducing atmosphere business has gone on long enough and its high time that right minded individuals with vision put an end to this outrage. and we’ll make party balloons out of the hydrogen gas. advise your son he can have a balloon wiener dog, if he please puts away the matches.
Wirraway, he wants a balloon Argentinosaurus, please – Billy grew very fond of the one we had on board the ark, until it cracked off the stern over submerged Argentina, drowned and sank to the bottom, where it will no doubt become buried by diluvial deposits and rapidly fossilized, to fool godless materialist paleontologists 4,000 years from now! Poor little Billy – he was so fond of big ol’ “Argy” as we playfully called him
…everyone wants, wants and wants. does anyone ever ask what we want? no. we want a good air filter. and some kind of a biomass converter. a good tricorder would be nice too, if anyone’s listening out there.Wirraway, he wants a balloon Argentinosaurus, please – Billy grew very fond of the one we had on board the ark, until it cracked off the stern over submerged Argentina, drowned and sank to the bottom, where it will no doubt become buried by diluvial deposits and rapidly fossilized, to fool godless materialist paleontologists 4,000 years from now!

Of course it supports the Genesis account, It illustrates that pathogenic microbes are the result of loss of function and degradation of originally created code and would not necessarily have been on the Ark, in this form. This “REDUCTIVE EVOLUTION” occured later in history and is a result of functional microbes degenerating into pathogens.
Texas Sharpshooter fallacy- shoot bullets in the side of a barn then paint concentric target circles around the holes that are made and say “see I’m a great shot”. But then Wirraway says “I was waiting patiently for this kind of post” Now look at who’s guilty of the sharp shooter fallacy
The history of smallpox .
Wow – so the article proves that Noah brought smallpox onto the Ark? Incredible!
a necessity, since it cannot survive without a human vector.
Yes – it’s in Wisconsin.i thought that there is scientific evidence of the flood, and that some people have claimed to have found the ark…
Trouble is sacred authors couldn’t give a damn about science or history- history. Their interest is in salvation history. How important in relation to rest of Genesis are creation stories? a mere 20%. the main focus of the book of genesis was the creation of the “Chosen People” and how and why it came to be.Up to Chapter 12 the point in Genesis was etiological. How did we get where we are ? why is man corrupt? If you follow the flow especially in the genealogies you will see names that reference place, people and occupations. This is common in many cultures and especially Near East. That’s why many NE stories parallel Genesis. these were probably a small part of a very big oral tradition that passed through millennium Why it is similar to other NE stories is important- but what is different in the stories of Genesis and those of Creation stories like the “Atraharsis” or “enuma Elish” or Utnapishtin in the Epic of Gilgamesh- is way more important.To understand that is to understand what the Hebrews were getting at when these stories were written. Why Did the pagan gods create? to have people to feed and sustain them through sacrifice and worship.Why did YHWH create us? Out of pure love.Unlike many mythologies of creation. Yhwh has no equal, no enemy he has no one to compete with.there was no primordial creation figure like 'Cronos" that he had to crush in order to become chief god. He was ,is and always will be in the Hebrew mind and in ours.If we fail to see the salvation message in Genesis and become crazed over incidentals - then we are losing focus and making a mockery of what is truly important in the scripture.It’s like trying to find out how many angels can fit on the end of a pin? what does that have to do with salvation?Since there is no way to really know how and why things came to be people filled in the blanks with stories that had been passed down there. being no human eyewitness to Creation- all such tales are archetypes for the unknowable.This is prehistory- simply because writing was not present.The history starts at Abram and continues through the rest of the Pentateuch and continues into the Historical section of the Bible.But never how we think of history- YHWH was always the center of Israelite history- nothing else was as important as their relationship to their God. People stories are like sidebars to the Stories of God and His people.Individual tales always relate to God in one way or another- and never are just soap operas.The message is all. I would suggest a little book called “In and out of Paradise” as a book that could put things in the perspective it should be put in. Don’t remember the author but it’s short and easy to read. Good hunting!

The history of smallpox, from its probable origin 3000 to 6000 years ago to its worldwide eradication in 1978, is a fascinating story. A feared infection, even today, smallpox has caused the deaths of millions of people and disfigured many. This article describes the possible origin of the infection and traces its progress throughout the world.

Maybe it hasn’t been around 13,000 years.
this thread is about whether or not there was ye arke. the consensus is that it existed and was powered by marine diesels or maybe was a five masted schooner.
was it Utnapistin’s ark or atraharsis’s?.Ye noah’s Ark is taken from ye much older tales.Predating ye bible by much and many a year.So what is more important- ye ark or ye moral of ye story.What would thou sayest?Or are we sailing on the sea of Silliness.?Ha

juliamajor, nicely put, although it would be great if you could use some paragraph divisions!
I use “Genesis myth” in the seminary, because the seminarians understand it.LMP,
But not even the Good Lord could cram 30 million species into the Ark!
You are correct, but if they were on the Ark, they could certainly feed from the huge strawman you have just given them to eat.
