Jason,

An ad for the Noah movie, pointing to this location https://www.fandango.com/noah_155301/movietimes?location=, comes on with sound. That's annoying enough, but what makes it even more annoying is that the ad is BOTH on the top of the screen as well as on the right of the screen, so I get two audio tracks that start (the same audio, that is) but offset by a fraction of a second. Super annoying.

He never said his source material was The Bible, people just assumed it was.

My little cousin said the sky is falling. I took his words. It was accurate. But it's a complete joke.

For that matter, if it's from the Bible, it's still not accurate.

That my friend, is something you can't say with 100% certainty.

You may believe that it's not accurate, but you certainly can't prove it.

Just like I can believe that it is accurate, but I certainly can't prove it.

It's all about belief.

If you believe in a trickster God, one who would erase all the effects of a global flood by magic after it happened, then I can't disprove it, any more than I can disprove the world was created on April 5, 2014, with all of our memories intact, light already ont he way from stars, etc. A trickster God can do anything; they can't be disproven.

However, absent the trickster God, I am 100% confident that there was no global flood within the last 10,000 years.

The belief in God almost universally includes the belief that God is all powerful, that he can do anything. It is not that he is a trickster, it is that he can do anything he wants.

For examples:

Flood the Earth
Change the way gravity works
Switch out the sun with the moon
Grow ants to the size of great danes
Create a 2nd intelligent race here on earth


All powerful means all powerful

But why would God want to flood the whole earth and then erase all evidence that such a universal flood happened? I'm with One Brow on this one, or at least partially--I believe in Noah and the Flood, but I don't believe that it was a universal flood.

It's probably a good idea to scrap any and all universal dogmas. Even physics, which has long been yolked to Church and State notions of eternality and purity, is catching on.

Maybe you ccant prove or disprove it.

BUT I CAN
 
I think a lot of the old testament is apocryphal, nothing more.
