Are you saying that you dont know how a metor impact in Greenland could cause flooding or are you saying that it could not have caused the "great flood'?
Still, i'd really like your thoughts in the similarities in flood mythology. It's a question on its own, and really doesnt even require there to have been a flood. The question is...how are stories from so long ago, and so far apart so very similar?
I get that to some degree you' re playing devil's advocate here and i appreciate that.
Redneck ... I have noticed in previous discussions that you have a tendency of being deliberately obtuse, especially when you find yourself backed into a corner.
Let me give you an example ...
Now go read Genesis 1:1 ... again. You have everything arse about face.
Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"
You will notice that "heavens" comes before "earth" ... do I honestly have to point that out to you? You conveniently turned it around to suit your silly little argument.
Chances are that BeanDip read the entire "Big Book of Fairy Tales" from cover to cover ... unlike you, who have taken a few passages here and there and twisted it to suit your anti god theory.
Not everything in the Bible is in chronological order. You should have picked that up already ... but I guess that wouldn't suit your feeble argument.
As for the "light" ... as I said earlier ... it's not complicated at all. The universe and all that's in it came forth from that command. If you've heard others refer to it differently then they're as ignorant as you are.
"The "clever" people tell us that it takes millions of years for something to evolve from one thing to another ... and yet the earth as we know it is only 6000 years old.
Well, I think "relatively well recorded history " can probably be stretched to 10 000 years, The millions of years before that have much more pieces of the puzzle missing than known.
Draad ... like what? Give me an example of 10 000 year old recorded history.
Anything will do?

"Plum, I'm not for one second suggesting that we won't keep on evolving and I'm sure our technology will keep on improving as well but we're a long way from travelling anywhere near the speed of light and it's more likely that we'll be extinct before we ever develop the capability of interstellar travel .
Klown, the only way I can think that your statements "earth as we know it is only 6000 years old" and "this planet has been around for millions of years" do not contradict one another would be if you were thinking that the planet that you live on is not earth.
Is that what you believe, Klown? Are you posting from the planet Tralfamadore or something?
Draad, stick to discussions with the people who share your view that a day is measured by the sun's rotation rather than the earth's and stop yapping for my attention. I don't have the time or the inclination to entertain that level of ignorance.
who share your view that a day is measured by the sun's rotation
BS, and you know it. You misspoke and you know it...and I'm not yapping for your attention. Get your head out your own arse. Your petty little "I-gotcha-on-some-stupid-little-error" rants are plain childish.
No Redneck ... how is it possible not to understand something so simple?
Let me dumb it down a bit for you.
1. Planet is created in the year zero.
2. Life of a sort is placed on the planet.
3. All life on the planet is destroyed after a time ... by whatever means .. in this case, a flood (the flood of Lucifer) ... rendering the planet lifeless. Niks, nada, fokol life on earth.
4. 10 million years pass by. The planet remains under water ... (the deep) ... void of any life.
5. 15 million years on ... the planet is brought back to life ... it is not recreated ... it already exits. The water is pushed back ... dry ground is forced to the surface (land) ... night and day ... animal and plant life is returned to inhabit the land, the oceans and lakes, rivers etc ... man is made in His image ... and voila, we have a Redneck asking stupid questions ... pretending to be doff ... totally confused as his mates keep digging up remnants of the previous inhabitants.
6000 years later a theory is brought out to please the unbelievers ... Redneck jumps at the chance. He is now armed with apes, mutations, science, carbon dating and of course an obtuse nature ... the happy chap sets off to tell everyone ... exposing his ignorance.
Approximately 6000 years ago the earth as we know it was restored ... overhauled ... sprayed with a fresh coat of paint ... revamped ... made new ... approximately 2000 years later the flood of Noah took place, wiping out life ... approximately 2000 years after that, Christ was born ... the Christian believes that we are living in the last days ... that 2000 years have passed on since Christ's birth ... that the second coming of the Messiah is at hand.
We await 7 years of tribulation ... and a thousand years of Lucifer's imprisonment ... and then judgement falls.
Redneck and his unbelieving horde await nothing ... or maybe they'll be mutated into a moth ... or evolve into some new species of ape never seen before ... who the fuck knows.

"You misspoke and you know it"
Rooi, stop trying to tell me what to do, stop mentioning me and stop being a total obnoxious arsehole then I'll consider ignoring you.
"begone" LMAO!!! Practice what you preach Boet.
Rooi
This is from Australia. It's the one with the most similarities to some points in Genesis. There are others that are less similar. Of course, much of it can be explained in pretty simple terms but the final three are quite interesting.
It's not any type of conclusive proof of anything but it is interesting nonetheless.
Rooi
This from the Hindu scriptures. One could almost substitute parts of the full story for of either Noah's or the Summerians Epic.
Again, not proof of anything but very interesting.
"O kind-hearted man, you have care in your heart, listen now. Soon the world will be submerged by a great flood, and everything will perish. You must build strong ark, and take along rope on board. you must also take with you the Seven Sages, who have existed since the beginning of time, and seeds of all things and pair of each animal, when you are ready, I will come to you as Fish and I will have horns on my head. Do not forget my words, without me you cannot escape from the flood."
My dear SharkShit ... you no doubt have an interest in this subject ... can't say I blame you ... I can't think of anything that fascinates me more. I have given a lot of time to it.
The problem is that you don't even know the simple basics of the Bible. When the Christ was born ... when He died ... how He died ... why He died ... why we celebrate Him as Lord ... these simple things are beyond you ... and yet here you are, debating with us.
I am NOT referring to the flood of Noah, you Dimwitted retard ... and I'm not blaming Lucifer for that flood either. Can't you read? Things have happened on this planet long before we showed up. Dramatic things. Wars. Power struggles. Betrayal. Treason.
I suppose you think that Lucifer and his rebellious subordinates (angels) were kicked out of Heaven during the time of Adam and Eve, right?
LOL!!!!!!!
Are you aware of the war that took place between God, Michael and Lucifer and the role Jesus Christ played in it?
Are you aware that Jesus Christ was with the Father long before He was born in Bethlehem? Long before the existence of the universe. That He was actually sent here on a mission ... and the opposition he faced from an age old enemy?
How is it possible that you know so little? Even an uninterested school kid would have picked up more in primary school than you have.
The time frame of 10 million years and 15 million years that I used was a simple example to dumb it down for your like minded idiot, Redneck.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaaaa!!! Wow!!!!!! You have got to be kidding me.
No, SharkShit ... the lizards and plant life were not wiped out because of their sin. How stupid are you? Ever heard of collateral damage? Look it up.
There is more to this than you think. Much more. Do yourself a favour ... go read the Bible ... cover to cover ... see what it says ... you may discover something of great value ... something that may just prepare you for what lies beyond the grave.
Year 0 - ???
I was a church going young man, then one day in Vietnam my faith was turned off like a light switch.
Don't run away now Rooi...
I'm still here to talk about the other topics on this thread like interstellar travel, flood mythology and how the length of a day is measured by how fast a supreme being spins the sun . . . but Klown's world view is particularly fascinating so I thought it deserved a new thread of its own.
Not trying to hijack your thread Plum, but that is a real gem that could be lost among everything else being discussed here.
