Noahs' Ark- Better than New?

like the ****** that believe in a world wide flood?

where did all that water come from and where did it go?

edit, i guess ***** isn't permitted

 

I submit the Logicalness of ABSOLUTE PROOF as pertains to Trees and their Begotten Begats, Pointy Sticks.

A rare photo of the Eastern forests of Russia in the act of bowing to Mecca. This act, although performed five (5) times a day has never been photographed. This photo is solid, incontrovertible proof of miracles.



Washington forests crawling on their submissive hands and knees in their annual Pilgramage to Pulpmills and Sawmills, in compliance with Gods Command that they exist for Man's Benefit. The Chosen among them will become Toothpickians, Warriors in the Divine Battle against the Saints of Satan, Plaque, Decay and Halitosis.



Minions from the Legions of Lucifer put the snatch on the Innocents, who are turned into fertilizer. Curses! Foiled again!



Contrary to belief, canoes are not made, they are grown, as Witnessed in this Canoe Forest. Man is too simpleminded for such complexity. Amen and Pshaw.



A Tool of Satan giving birth to a Beelzebub Bus, a Hopper of Hippies, the Scourge of Mankind.



Moments later, these men were devoured. The stealth and eviltry of the Redwood cannot be emphasized enough.

 

It came from the sky and went downstream to the Ohio River and beyond.

 

Try norom, dd-raw.

 

Noah's Ark...found

I found Noah's Ark...














.......at least a miniture version of it.

This was sitting along the road side here in Thailand,... off the beaten path...and in front of what appeared to be a stowage shed....that might eventually become a restaurant since it was located right on a small river.

 

I always thought this interesting.
Chinese character for a boat combines vessel with person and the number 8. There were 8 persons in Noah's ark.

I think you might be reading a little to much into a completely innocuous symbol

Also I've always wanted to ask someone who actually believes that stuff how they justify the fact that the Sumerians have virtually the exact same flood story yet from roughly 2000 years earlier. Isn't it obvious that the Hycsos ( early jews ) borrowed the story when inventing there own mythos ?

Kinda hard to ignore, I'd think

 

Isn't the flood story supposed to be based on a actual event?
I seem to recall a natural dam in some huge inland sea failing and causing widespread flooding over thar somewhere??

edit- a quick look finds this:

there have been several large scale natural floods. Its thought that the dead sea is the remnant of one, and the Mediterranean another, I think. Also there was a ice dam that built up in several places and created some of the topography in both the midwest and the eastern US.

But all in all there was never a worldwide event that can be supported with any scientific evidence. Also the exodus would appear to be devoid of support within any of the sciences. So there are several mythos that are blatantly unsupported and highly unlikely.

 

I was raised by wolves as well- as a wee lad we all went off to see a film at church about the current crop of ark found on Mount Ararat. (viewed maybe 40 years ago..)
If I remember correctly the most of the ship was visible with the hull and planks all present.
The ship was erupting from the glacial ice.

I looked around and can find no evidence of the film- are these things destroyed or is there a archive hidden somewhere?

 

I sort of quickly scanned the thread- the exodus not supported?/???

What axe is ground here?
Isn't the whole script more likely than not?

 

Ian Plimmers book 'Telling lies for God' was mentioned before and I took the time to read it, it's quite illuminating the level of "false witness" that gets promulgated by the biblical creation myth industry in the USA.

Floods are common events. A lot of flood myths were modified either from contact with missionaries or from earlier contact with Mesopotamian myths, which is where the Jewish one comes from.

I asked a Chinese friend about the boat Chinese symbol, he says it's a misrepresentation of the Glyph and the symbols on the right don't mean 8 people. "Like saying the written 18 is same as 100 because there is 1 and two zero...."

I still want to know how the Tasmanian Devil was dropped off here and here alone ! Also if you can't have evolution then every species specific disease and parasite had to be present in the animals on the Ark. And these points are just the start....
When you peruse the Ark myth its apparent that it requires huge amounts of magic (miracles) to make it happen. But categorically and relative to this forum it's clear that the Ark is a myth from a Naval Architecture approach. It's just not possible for a wooden ship structure of that size to remain intact ( without magic). There's some reference to a Korean University unpublished unreviewed 'Paper' that 'Proves' that it was structurally sound but when I was sent the article it turned out to be just more of the same desperate extravagance of reasoning.

 

It was a hoax I think it's called the Jammal ark hoax.

 

I think I mentioned the book "The bible unearthed" in this thread somewhere. Anyway its written by to of the middle east's top archeologists, who investigated the exodus story from an archeological point of view. What they found was there is absolutely not a shred of evidence to support the story. For instance, there's a satellite thats imaging system works in a band width that allows it to see through sand to the desert floor, Every Bedouin trash trail or even individual camp site can be spotted, the remnants having eventually sunk through the sand to the desert floor. If tens of thousands of people had wondered the desert for any length of time, let alone 40 years, there'd be a trail of artifacts that not only would be visible to the new imaging systems but also could be dug up and confirmed as being early Judaic in origin. Didn't happen. Multiple universities mapped pretty much the entire desert area, particularly in areas purported to have been traveled in the biblical mythos. Nothing, nada, nill, nine, zilch.

There are a number of the basics that are just completely unsupported. Particularly the ark myth. The flood myth and the exodus myth. I'm sure if we were to look into other bible stories we'd see the same trend.

Hmmmm- I take the exodus story to be just one of the resident slave population splitting the pad when the culture that was enslaving them started to become unhinged.

The bible lays out that god got the party started- plagues, frogs etc... & in historical fact the migration probably happened over several generations as new lands were sought, and communities established.

But otherwise, whats not to like?
Same thing happened when the Aztec culture collapsed eh?
(or am I thinking Mayan?)


This case seems like a good example of the bible being a reliable historical text for a understandable event.

I am rusty perhaps- is this the 'exodus' story being discussed? You know, mosses parting the red sea burning bush tablets and that whole mess?

Speaking of tablets- anyone see 'The Invention of Lying'?
