No way in hell there's enough water to flood the planet five miles
deep.

Here is what happened..

"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month,
the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the
fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of
heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty
days and forty nights. Genesis 7:11,12

"And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and
all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were
covered." v.19

That's why we see fossilized ocean creatures on the high
mountain peaks.

And the antediluvian earth had no five mile high mountains
to be covered. So your above argument is shown to be a
straw man.

We know it did not happen, that Noah's Flood is a completely fictional
exaggeration about a small local flood.

Nope. Once again, you show us how proud you are of your ignorance and
your lack of knowledge about history and science. Your explanation about
fossils cannot be true, the physical evidence shows us that you are
wrong.

Let's see, the words of an alleged deity, written down long after the
alleged event.

Contemporary civilisations failed to notice the alleged event.

Geological evidence fails to support alleged event.

Ergo, said event never happened.

Which means alleged deity, if real, lied.

A "few" problems. If you are refering to that famous "canopy", you
nuts have been told by AIG to quit using it as it can't be made to
work.

Had there been a canopy holding enough water to add significantly to
the flood, the earth would have been in total darkness 24/7 prior to
the flood.

Where did the water go after the flood? And please don't display your
ignorance with the usual "drained into the deeps' Those deeps were
already overfull with water 'covering the highest hills'.

The amount of water on Earth today is quite irrelevant.
The story happened thousands of years ago.

Geologists know that Earth was completely covered by a vast ocean before dry land appeared.

How do you know who was the first to chronicle the flood?Nobody in Judaism

So the Andes, Rockies, Appalachians, Himalayas, Alps, Apennines,
Carpathians, Pyrenees, Atlas and many, many other ranges did not exist
before Ye Floode?
Back in 1964 there was a magnitude 9.2 earthquake in Alaska. Along
some miles of the coast the land was thrust up by about 20 feet. To
raise mountain ranges throughout the world in the months or years
after Ye Floode there would need to be MANY magnitude 9 earthquakes,
so many that the
Earth would have rung like a bell. Are you really that stupid? Don't
you think that might have rated a mention in the Bible?

Explain how its higher parts contain fossils of sea creatures
and seashells, clearly showing that it is made of rock that
was once under water.

And why do you assume that it's current height would be
the same as it's antediluvian height..ignoring the massive
tectonic upheavals which had to occur for such an event
to take place?

Why do you assume such a massive geologic event had to be limited
by forces that we see today?

Given this alleged flood happened, why don't we find fossils of
aquatic and terrestrial organisms all mixed up together?

Can you prove that?Have any of the numerous expeditions to the top of Everest
discovered such fossils?The summit is covered in deep snow and ice year round
because it's so cold up there.Did anyone dig down thru the deep snow and find these fossils?

I didn't assume that. Actually, the point is the same regardless of when Everest reached it's current height.There are other peaks in places like the
Andes and the Caucasus that are almost as high as Everest.There is Mt McKinley
in Washington state.

Shit man, that's a bit of a big ask! :-)

With the ascent and descent taken into account you're lucky to spend 15
minutes up the top.

I'm not sure you'd find many takers to hump a load of digging equipment
up there and look for fossils.


If you cover the $40k for me though, I'll come with you. But I'll be
leaving you on the summit for the dig, see you back down the bottom.

Lots of it evaporated, of course, as part of the normal Earth cycle.
The Earth was once covered by a vast ocean. Where did that water go?

While he's at it, he can explain why whale fossils are never found in
the same layer as mosasaurs. That is one question Jason dodged

Back through those windows in the firmament, or do you really want to

Waters from the deep, where are the new oceans from the crust caving in.
& water run downhill, so how fast was it being pumped out to prevent it
from becoming a negative flow.

From somewhen & where on the web.
MINI-FAQ: Psalms 14:1

"The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt,
they have done abominable works, there is none that does good." (Psalms
14:1)

ad hominem fallacy: An argument is discounted based on attacking the
character of the person making the argument. ("He is wrong when he says
there is no God, because he is a fool.")

strawman fallacy: Arguing against a position by creating a different,
weaker, or irrelevant position and refuting that position instead of the
original. ("There is no God" misrepresents "There isn't sufficient
evidence that God exists.")

circular reasoning: The truth of the conclusion is assumed in order to
justify the premises. ("The fool says there is no God, because anyone who
says there is no God is a fool.")

begging the question: The argument creates a secondary proposition that
is related to the primary proposition, which requires a similar argument
that is missing. (The existence of God is assumed, while addressing
propositions of whether God exists.)

fallacy of inconsistency: The argument is inconsistent with other
arguments within the same context.
In the Christian context, Jesus commands against the invective in Psalms
14:1, warning that "whoever says 'You fool!' shall be liable to the hell
of fire" in Matthew 5:22.

special pleading: The inappropriate attribution of emotive functions to
objects that do not have that capability. (Hearts are not capable of
"knowing" or of feeling emotions.)

redundancy: Psalm 53 is identical to Psalm 14.

questionable premise: It is obviously not the case that all atheists do
nothing but bad deeds. This premise is invalidated by a single example of
an atheist doing a single charitable act.

Before Moses wrote the Pentatuech there were no chronicles.

These flood myths don't support your flood myth.

Why? It's simples.

They all disagree on:

1) who caused the flood.
2) why the flood happened.
3) how long the flood lasted.
4) who survived the flood.
5) how they survived the flood.

... and so on.

A complete lack of corroboration.

Water that evaporates forms into clouds, and there isn't enough water in the atmosphere to cover the earth 5 miles deep. The water that was required for Noah's flood simply doesn't exist on earth, so the only way for it to disappear would be by magic. I know you believe in magic, but I don't. I think magic is for little children.

> The Earth was once covered by a vast ocean.

...with land sticking out of it.

> Where did that water go?

All the water that has ever been on earth is still here. In fact, the amount of water on earth has accumulated over time from all the icy objects from space colliding with it. The only explanation for Noah's flood is magic. I think magic is childish, apparently you don't.

Trying to use myths of other cultures and religions as evidence that
your flood myth relates to a real event makes you look even more
foolish. They fail to corroborate key points, such as who caused it,
why it happened, how long it lasted, who survived, how they survived,
and so on.

From your own cite:

--------------------------------
A new model of the early Earth suggests that until around 2.5 billion
years ago oceans covered almost the whole of the planet.

Just 2% to 3% of the Earth's surface would have been dry land,
compared with 28% today.
---------------------------------

So just what does something that happened 2.5 billion years ago have
to do with something sthat happened "thousands of years ago" (your
words)??

Enough water to cover the highes hills? Where did it go? Remembe
you only have a few thousand years to work with to get rid of it.

The mountains are millions of years old, so they were there for any
period of time that humans walked the Earth.

Well the boat trip I can understand, but you're going to climb

Given that rabbinic ***tradition*** tells us Moses wrote the

And given that you are supposed to be the resident Jew then you should
be familiar with rabbinic tradition.

It stayed right where it is. The mountains and the valleys formed later.

Silly buggar . The mountain ranges and hills ROSE up as evidence of
many marine fossils on the tops of mountains today. By the way, dId
you know that the Pacific Ocean is 7 miles deep in parts of it ?
There was a cataclysmic world wide flood at one time and land
animals and marine life got jumbled up together which is exactly what
we find in the fossil record ... and this jumbling up exists in all
the geologic layers and not neatly layed out as you find in secular
textbooks. Forsake the charade of an atheistic worldview and run to
God whos patiently waiting for you. You know he exists so why keep
running ? So you can do life the way you think it should be done ?
Wont be worth it .

Yes it was. But that was many millions of years ago, not thousands.

And exactly what event would that be? And where in the Bible does it
say that after the flood all the mountain ranges rose up five miles
while the ocean floors sank by a similar amount?

Why do you assume that all the laws of physics were any different a
few thousand years ago to what they are today? I mean, apart from the
fact that you need that to be the case for your fairy tales to work.

Yeah, billions of years ago, not thousands.

So, Noah's flood: literally true, or allegorical? Coz you seem to be
arguing both side here but more in favour than against.

A five mile deep layer, in a few months, really? Would you like to
work out how much heat energy that would need?

It's still here. Several billion years of plate tectonics has made the
land higher and the oceans deeper, ironically in much the same way
that Andrew is trying to claim but over a realistic timescale.

Yes, over billions of years, not over a few months.

No. You are flat wrong. Perhaps you should go and look at a fossil bed
sometime. You think this for no other reason than that you want it to
be true, but that does not make it so.

Sheesh! Grade school geology and you fail.

The reason there are sea creature fossils is that the Himalayas used
to be ocean bottom before the Indian subcontinent crashed into Asia.

So once again you're claiming that the Floode took place tens or
hundreds of millions of years ago.

Europa and Enceladus each have more water than Earth. If
water is an argument for a creator, then the "creator" was
drunk.

I'm not going to dig for fossils. Paleontology doesn't interest me.
I like the purely physical sciences-chemistry and Physics.
At one point in college, I had plans to major in chem.

The physical evidence shows us that Noah's Flood did not happen. You

happened.

No, there was not. That claim is a false doctrine.

We do not find that in the fossil record. You have been misled and are

false doctrines.

Moses wrote the law in the Torah,not all of it.
Leviticus is his baby.That's why they call it Mosaic Law.

I am familiar with what I was taught in Hebrew school by the rabbis.

Here we go.

The first part of the Talmud is the Mishnah.

The fourth part of the Mishnah is the Nezikin.

The penultimate part of the Nezikin is the Avot.

Sometimes called the Pirkei Avot.

The first passage of the first chapter of this declares:

"Moses received the Torah from Sinai and transmitted it to Joshua;
Joshua to the elders; the elders to the prophets ..." and so on.

Since Moses received the Torah from God while on Mount Sinai, I would
guess that would make him by that passage from the rabbinic law the
first to have written it down.

Funny how one little goyim knows a tad more about Jewish tradition and
law than the resident Jew.

Actually, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy are all

"Guess" is the key word.That's hardly conclusive.
You're wasting your time.That passage is so vague, it could mean anything.

I don't base my knowledge of Judaism on the guesswork of some presumptuous
fool on the Internet.

Given that I've quoted from the Talmud, at your insistence, it's not
my "bullshit" you're exposing, but the "bullshit" of the rabbinic law
that you supposedly hold in such high regard.

I quoted directly from the Talmud, but you choose to focus on one word
in my conclusion, and because of that word, you're in effect rejecting
the words of the Talmud itself.

> You're wasting your time.That passage is so vague, it could mean anything.

How is "Moses received the Torah from Sinai" so vague it could mean
anything?
