The continuation of art styles through a speculated flood

Flood Legends From Around the WorldThe above link is for easy reference to what I am about to argue.The FACT that there are Flood accounts in diverse worldwide civilizations means a Flood happened.The Bible provides the origin and source and protected version of facts.It is pure nonsense to expect anyone to believe that the multiplicity of worldwide Flood accounts is not based upon a historical event.From South Amercica to the Middle East and across Eurasia and China Flood accounts exist. The existence of these accounts can only be attributed to a Flood occurring.

I have not ignored you or anyone else.I received a long sought after career advancement and unfortunately I cannot spend all god-damn day on-line.Another debater in one of my topics suddenly is insinuating that delay = paucity of evidence - seems like I cannot get the same benefit I give to everyone of my opponents.I am genuinely surprised that you felt bored enough to condescend your attention to one of my replies since you do usually ignore me.One time some friends of ours owned a house and the lower floors were flooded during a heavy rainstorm. The flooded areas were under water for about a week.After the rains subsided and we cleaned it all up about a month later there was no signs of a flood in their home. Who said 'they' had no connection to the Greeks ?Greek culture was a simulataneously developing civilization along side of Hebrew. S[h]emite immigration from Egypt into Greece is responsible for the foundational origins of their magnificent culture.
[source: "Common Backround of Greek and Hebrew Civilizations" by Professor Cyrus Gordon]All Hebrews are Shemite/Semite thus the origins of Greek culture. All Jews are Hebrews but not all Hebrews are Jews.My current "Genesis 22 - Not a promise given to the Jews" topic proves the above declaration to be a fact.

All civilizations around the Middle East do not flood.In 1Kings, Elijah, a man who lived his whole life in the deserts of Palestine prayed for it NOT to rain. Now how silly of a prayer to pray for it not to rain in the desert ?Flood accounts DO NOT match - this is a fact.But they ALL have common denominators.The CLAIM of the Bible is that it contains the protected versions of facts and all the other worldwide flood accounts and their "facts" are not protected by God.The common denominators prove that a Flood occurred. OK Crashfrog please take a few minutes and list the best evidence against a worldwide deluge.Worldwide Flood accounts is the best evidence for the Flood in my opinion because it cannot be contrived or the product of conspiracy.ToE would generate more credibility if it allowed the Flood/catastrophe, but this will never happen because the origin of the Theory is demons according to the N.T.To allow the Flood is to admit the veracity of the Bible and demons will never allow that.CRASHFROG please do not take offense to my reply. I am in no way saying you are demon possessed or trying to insult you. I am a theist who believes what the Bible says - I am being faithful to what the Bible says about this entire subject as you will be faithful to your worldview frame of reference undoubtedly.Your Chuck E. Cheese analogy seems to benefit my position would you please clarify ?Johnny Carson used to whipser something in the ear of a person in the beginning of a row.Then each person would whisper (hopefully what Johnny said) to the next person until the last person would tell Johnny and the information turned out to be totally different from the original person.Hence, the fact that there are many common denominators in the Flood account is damning to your position.This message has been edited by WILLOWTREE, 09-07-2004 07:58 PM

I honestly never heard of this connection and I have not had the time to review the links in Paulk's post. This question hinges on the first question so I must answer the same - I don't know.Paulk creates a post which seems to support a connection, albeit the content is deliberately skeletal of any position. The post is actually a Forum Rule Violation in that it contains bare links accompanied by no explanations or argument.

RAZD:Would you please be considerate and change your obnoxious avatar ?Your argument concerning the existence of worldwide Flood accounts is senseless.You just assert that the differing facts means the Flood never happened.Then to assert that the accounts testify to a local flood defies common sense and is only offered because worldwide accounts evidence the Flood.Your position says the Genesis Flood never happened but somehow every major worldwide civilization decided to incorporate a local deluge story into their culture. What are the chances of this ?Objective persons easily deduce the worldwide accounts have a origin, that ONE of the accounts is responsible for the official facts.The existence of the worldwide accounts proves the Bible correct: A deluge happened. You failed to apply the above argument.I am waiting.....WT

You post evidence of a catastrophe then contrary to your evidence you brand it a myth. Where is the integrity in this ? Evolutionists sure argue against anything catastrophic. IOW, they were dumb ass neanderthals and you are going to tell us what they should have said.IOW, they didn't mean what they said, and you evos somehow "know" this.All you are doing is shouting down the evidence with rhetoric/misuse of logic.

I responded to your post.If you don't want to debate then just quit and refrain from blaming me.

This question assumes Greek culture was developed and flourishing.How could this be when Greek culture/civilization did not begin to form until 1100 to 1300 years AFTER the Flood ?This chronology renders the remainder of your post irrelevant.

It does not matter what definition you stipulate onto the word "myth", its reportive and emotive meaning define it to be understood as something that is not true/never happened.Then when questioned about this convoluted definition and its application to describe evidence which supports a claimed event you simply assert "myth" to mean opposite of what it means.IOW, "myth" means "not true" unless challenged when it suddenly means "could be true".This is called rhetoric/misuse of logic also known as the bullshit that lawyers are trained to master.Jesus said "Let your yea mean yea and your nay mean nay".Straight thinkers cannot be deceived by your nonsense. This is basically your reply to my accusation that this generation of evos are objective and every ancient to be defective.Your arrogant attitude which thinks you are the shit of all time and every area of knowledge is filtered and washed of anything which contradicts your narrow naturalist worldview. This is called dogma.

Portmaster:I do not know the answers to your questions.WT

Good description of those who assert worldwide flood accounts to be a local event in that civilizations history.

The Great Flood: 3145 BC

IOW, by your logic if a person invokes the name of God then they represent Him. My point is that your "God bless" doesn't mean a god damn thing.

This position assumes ancients to be lying or not meaning what they say.Why ?

Assuming this is true.I honestly do not know.Please answer the question.
