Hi Mick,
Just a small nit pick. The Flood is said to be about 4400 years ago. Not that it makes any difference to the reality of the myth.

And by prejudging the motvie of Brian the Machir, he only inputted his comment in to nitpick, and then confirm the mythology of the Flood. I 'inputted' my comment so Mick would know when the Flood was said to have happened. My nitpick was over the slight error in chronology. As for the Flood being a myth, every science we have has already placed the Flood in the world of fiction. Brian.

HI Arach,
i dunno about you, but the nile floods every year. I never flood, not that I have noticed anyway. ![]() floods happen all the time. Indeed they do, but, in the last 4500 years has a flood covered Mount Everest? Science has placed the face value biblical accounts of the flood into fiction. I agree that there is good evidence of localised flooding, but the two biblical accounts are not compatible with a local mini-flood. There have been many efforts to reinterpret the Flood narratives into what may be a reasonable scenario, but they really do not reflect what the Bible is saying. Sure, the flood narratives may be based on an actual local miniflood, and then exaggerated for effect. But what does this do for the credibility of the text? Think about it, if the authors took some relatively trivial flood and exaggerated it greatly, then that opens up the possibility that many other stories are exaggerated, including Jesus' 'sacrifice.' We both now that the Bible authors have indeed exaggerated much if the Old Testament, and we have no problems with that, but there are people who NEED every syllable in the Bible to be accurate, and the miniflood would be of no use to them. So, perhaps it was based on a miniflood, but this still means that the Bible version is untrue. Brian.

Hi,
i used to, but then they banned me from mirc I can't swim, so a flood is the last thing that I need.
does the bible say it did? i can't find this mt everest business in my copy. Genesis 7:19-20 They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. The waters rose and covered the mountains to a depth of more than twenty feet. Since all the high mountians under the entire heavens were covered, then I am pretty sure that Everest would have been one of them. I am sure I read somewhere that it would need 6ft of water per hour for 40 days to cover Everest to a depth of 20 feet. You would have thought that the Egyptians would have noticed this amount of water.
but that doesn't mean that's not how the story got started. I don't think we will ever know how the story got started. Perhaps the Hebrews felt left out because other cultures had a flood story and they didnt.
when did i pretend the bible was a credible source? I wasnt referring to you. I was referring to the nutballs who need it to be syllable perfect.
i'm pretty I'm sure you are, but I am betrothed!
i spent some time arguing faith that it was, in fact, not. Can I ask why you consider yourself a Christian? Finally, I would add Truthlover's name to your list of sensible Christians. Brian.

Hi,
Drugs LOL, I would believe that if any of the Wyatt disciples said it, but, seriously, how do you know all these things about Jesus? Brian.

Okay, joking apart.
Why do you reject so much of the Bible as being unreliable, inaccurate, propaganda, unhistorical, etc. Yet, from the same collection of texts you *think* Jesus is a groovy guy. How do you find passages about Jesus to be reliable when you acknowledge that so much of the other texts are unreliable? I mean, many of the stories about Jesus sound about as believable as the Flood, or do you only accept Jesus as a groovy guy and not as your Lord and Saviour who shed his blood for your sins so that you could have eternal life? Brian. PS, I am seriously interested in this, I am not trying to pull your leg or have a dig at your faith. if you don't want to answer then its cool.

We see God as the type of God who promises to protect us from worldwide flood. It is okay. God saw the error of his ways and repented, He said he won't do it again. Just hope He wasn't lying again. ![]() Brian.

but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die.

How many admins have to warn you before you take any notice?
Is suspension the only approach that you will respect?
