Its super bad in chickens haha

But like, if you’re into the whole thing, then they’re closer to god’s purity from Adam, and were genetically superior than anyone alive today… allegedly… so it’s no problem if the humans inbred because of the divine light, or some hoohaa

I hadn't thought of that, but it makes perfect sense. That was a brilliant comment! Thank you!

My problem is that there is zero evidence for a global deluge during the time frame that humans* have existed.

That's exactly right! I fully believe that of the ark was real, the family would take it apart and make their houses.

Perhaps that may be the very reason the ark wasn't taken apart. For if they had taken it apart then there wouldn't be any evidence to confound the sceptics of our day. Just the fact that the GPR and resistivity scans of the Durupinar ship-like object proves it's a manmade structure proves the wisdom of Noah of not dismantling the ark. Perhaps with his greater wisdom he envisioned our days.

Even if that were true, you have other cultures that were thriving. Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Sumerians, Egyptians, Nordic and Slavic cultures. They were not affected by a flood. And even if we entertained your thought that the Ark was real, the story it's tied to is a fairy tale in a book that also says wearing a flannel shirt while eating shrimp is a sin. Christianity is a cult that stole ideas from other cultures (mostly Pagan) then claimed them as there own.

Great adaptation of a great book.

@@alchemander It got way closer than I'd hoped, though. ♥

I’ve never heard of it until this episode of DtU.

Simon can't handle a generic fantasy, of course, he never heard of Good Omens. Nor would he be able to handle a book full of angels, demons, prophecies, etc.

I've had similar thoughts but a potential counter-argument could be that it would be too difficult to haul the lumber several thousand feet back down a mountain to a more habitable elevation. Without lumber or other means of building a shelter, they might just dig their homes out of the ground for a while until stuff grew back. Could be why Turkey is absolutely littered with underground cities ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honestly, why not just stay in the boat? Let the animals out and you have a mansion for yourself? Given it was common to burn structures to harvest the melted metal bits, it wouldn’t last long… that and the wood eating worms and various rot the lumber would be prone to. Noah made the boat, not god. No 5yr warranty 😜

Logic doesn’t exist in religious fervor

You'd think people would think of that.

Don't be silly, noah was human, he'd have built his house over the ark and kept it in his basement. It's guaranteed to come in useful at some point 😂

I'm not saying that Wyatt is an out and out con man. Then again, I'm not 'not' saying it either.

No proof of god

@yaitstac7267 an excerpt from "NOAH, Another Storm Is Coming" The Flood is a story God wants to be told. It occupies more than a third of the first chapters of Genesis -- chapters that chronicle the first 2000 years of earth's history. More chapters are devoted to the Flood of Noah's day than even the Creation record. Indeed, the credibility of the canon of Scripture, and even that of Jesus, are seriously challenged if the veracity of the global Flood (or Deluge) in Noah's day is denied. And to trivialize or undermine the story of Noah builds a segue way to ultimate denial of faith. Both Jesus and the apostles spoke about the historicity and universality of the Flood. And they both saw encapsulated in the Flood account an insight into the future of a world -- a world that would rekindle the flames of unbridled passions and be so stupefied by pleasure that it would not even sense the tsunami approaching as it sits on the sands of time. As in the days of Noah, the storm is gathering again!

@@tomperone9338 But are you not "not" not saying it?

There is desperation in the evangelical sphere to prove the bible as factual. As archaeology and science advance the bible is looking more and more like myth. Evangelicals will desperate grab anything they think can offer just a tiny bit of proof. The other problem is that christian 'colleges' are pumping out poorly trained, badly educated scientists and historians that have one purpose to bury the real science and history under fraud, especially in internet searches. An example just 5 years ago a search on the historicity of Jesus would bring up a balanced listing and real person with the three divisions of just a Rabi, A prophet or god vs just a myth. Today there is a flood of links back to evangelical sources that declare jesus real and god. Finally you have the true grifters and con artists. A few years back I read about a geologist who was for hire to speak at any church and preach the lie that carbon dating is wrong, scientists are frauds and the earth is 6000 years old. The most sickening thing was this man was a well respected scientist/professor of geology who had decades worth of peer reviewed papers, on subjects like dating some of the oldest rock formations as millions to billions of years old.

I laughed hard AF at that part 🤣

Properly mental, pidgeons... fly off somewhere warm!

I asked my catechism teacher, "If children are innocent in God's eyes, why didn't he instruct Noah to save all the children too? Why did God kill Children?" It earned me a nice cracking on the knuckles by the Nun.

Remember asking my Sunday school teacher, who used a cane, why she'd teach Sunday school when Leviticus says she's going to hell for coming to church with an injury. It...did not go well for me lol.

Wasn't this basically the entire drive behind Martin Luthor and the Lutheran sect forming? He felt that people should be able to interpret the bible for themselves?

@@charliehunter9257 Books, especially Bibles were prohibitively expensive prior to the printing press. Churches and wealthy individuals were the only people likely to have books; let alone be able to read them. That gave the church its power. I believe the last straw for Luther was Plenary Indulgence. Literally being able to pay the Church to excuse sin.

"What about the sea creatures?" is the new "Won't somebody please think of the children"

That’s easy the sea creatures don’t need to be on the ark since they already live in the water whether that’s lakes, oceans, seas, whatever no point in putting them on an ark.

This is all based on the assumption that God is real so if you believe God is real. And you could imagine he could speak the universe into existence. He could probably control the salt in the water for the fishies But you're not looking from the perspective of belief or from other peoples shoes.you're just looking from a disrespectful position of knowing. * assuming you know lol either way its irrelivent to your and mine meaningless life just gonna pain to death.. but the only thing that is shown is that you don't have respect... none of us know what's going on lol quiet shitty that you're content with that behavior but i guess thats what we're made of ;) it would be programmed into you

Or some did and some didn't

Im pretty sure there are places where saline and fresh water meet but don't mix. Technically possible for a similar situation. Especially given the localized flood that it would've been rather than a global flood.

I don't, Simon can't handle even generic fantasy.

I discovered the book years ago and really enjoyed it. I was very pleased to find out who the two main actors would be when it was turned into a movie. I was not disappointed but I do agree with the previous comment that Simon very well may not like it.

Not Gilgamesh. He was only visiting Ziusudra, who was the Sumerian flood hero. Gilgamesh is ancient enough that we can only guess that he was *probably* based on a historical figure, and Ziusudra was ancient even to him.

This is the most logical interpretation of the flood story tbh, especially with the "global" aspect, plus of course the sheer size and structural integrity the boat would have had to be to fit the entire global life, AND the feed, AND fresh water quantities to care for them, OR the fact animals would have had to be separated in their correct respective ecological systems, OR the fact that flooding does also drown plants, which would cause a global famine, AND with not enough plants for plant eaters to eat, much less not enough prey for predators since supposedly only TWO of every animal was took, and there's not enough livestock to keep them alive even BEFORE a breeding cycle, much less enough to actually successfully breed & reproduce enough for the parents & their offsprings. OR, contrary to what Simon thinks/said, too much incest with animal populations also negatively effect them too, just like the incest would have done to "Noah's family" because there is not enough genetic diversity with "Noah's" family, muchless only a PAIR of reproductive animals. And that's just off of the top of my head in this 3-5 min comment, while listening to Simon from the video. 😂

@@johnforce8057 Ok Graham.

7000 years ago is when the "sudden rise" ENDED. It was a 20,000 year long steady rise during the early Holocene period while glacial ice melted. The rate of the rise was about 2.5 inches per year maximum at the height, but that only lasted about 500 years.

@@AutisticAthena Thanks for the clarification. That makes sense.

@@AutisticAthena Correct, but it does not rule out the possibility of sudden local cathastrophies that caused a temporary swift rise of waters, like a massive flood, or landslide, or an eartquake because of the wanishing pressure on the earths crust of the melting ice. Some of these events could affect hundreds or thousands of people, and thanks to the survivors the stories of these cathastrophies remained with us though the time, and now we have them as legends and tales. Regarding of Noah's story I can think of a man with his family realising that a cathastrophic flood is near (extraordinary levels of precipitation, etc.), but the affected area will be too large to leave with the herds of animals and family until the assumed start of the event. So he does something that is not in line with the course of action of the other people in the village/town, and begins to build an unusual big raft that has enough place for his family and a few cattle, sheep, goat, etc. from his flock. He plans to board one pair of each species he has at hand because of limited space. And then the flood comes, they survive, and begin a new life. In my opinion a story like this could have been the seed of the biblical story.

@Peter Lehoczky Over on The Why Files there's a video talking about very large scale floods. Here: m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/atRjmc6F1sXUYKM.html Keep in mind he isn't referring directly to Noah's flood. More about why the flood story is found in all cultures. I hope you like it.

@@AutisticAthena A study done over 4 decades by a Queensland uni gathered over 150 separate tribal stories around Australia and matched them to a quick rising of the ocean around 12k/ 10k years ago and a few volcanic eruptions . It was uncannily accurate according to the studied account of the known Geology of Australia separate from the steady rise..

Anyone who reads Umberto Eco's "Island of the Day Before" knows that the water for the flood came from... yesterday.

Except it says the dove never returned to the ark. Noah released all the animals into the wild so the doves could have hooked up elsewhere.

especially since there might not be very many great trees around. Maybe among the debris.

It boggles my mind people believe in the Bible.

Of course. There are entire civilizations that lived through the supposed "Flood", without noticing all the water.

Every culture in that part of the world has an "ark" tale. Multiple events but just as disastrous in the area they occurred in. In India same story but the "boat" was circular and made of reeds..on and on. If you were in the area of the black sea in 5600 BC it was a nice dry fertile area..then the Atlantic came through and filled the entire area in an estimated 100 days..even a modern human if stuck there would consider it a world ending event. River valleys have flood events, early agriculture was in river valleys. I've never considered all animals being on an ark, however the family livestock definitely would be. God giving a warning? Could have been an excuse to plan ahead, perhaps a God or God's modern substitute aliens. I don't know and don't care.

But yeah, the whole Church of Christ believes that people lived longer "back then" and various other nonsensical ideas that you can only believe if you have "faith."

The Bible lists a family tree of people living between 600-900 years each in the book of Genesis. Interestingly, ages drop to more normal time frames after the flood. That’s where the long-lived people thing comes from.

@@tomorrow4eva Yep, I read all of Genesis, including the "Begats," and they said people lived longer at first for whatever reason. Maybe they didn't write it down, or lost track of the men who lived in between, and went to the next man's name they remembered ...

A bit late here, but here goes: First, an oral tradition of story telling and oral history that doesn't always differentiate between fact and fiction. Second, they were using a lunar calendar at the time, and not a solar calendar like we do now. Third, misinterpretations and mistranslations are common, even today... What if the older local word translated as years actually meant months? "So all the days that Adam lived numbered nine hundred and thirty years" translated to months: 77 and a half years. Not bad even for today.

Nobody claimed that the Ararat story started in the 1970s. We can never know the original source. It possibly wasn't even written down at the time, just a tale told verbally. Over several thousand years it will have been changed by those that told it or wrote it down. As Simon said, the historical translation of "Ararat" is probably incorrect, and in fact refers to a small Kingdom that existed in that region.

Except the bible doesn't say Mount Ararat. It says the _mountains_ of Ararat. The bible is referring to a region, not a single mountain.

@@benjalucian1515 that's an excellent point. Subtle mistranslations can have big implications.

@@carlwalker3557 Have you actually read the bible?? It's full of stories that are completely impossible and/or have been verified to be "wrong". I thought most Christians were past the whole "The bible is the infallible word of god". They don't even prescribe to a literal interpretation in seminary school! Here are a few examples that scholars, historians, archeologist, paleontologists, other scientists, and even seminary scholars at the Vatican have identified as historical inaccuracies or inconsistencies and impossibilities: The Creation Timeline: The book of Genesis presents a creation story that unfolds over six days, which contradicts the scientific understanding of the Earth's formation over billions of years and the evolution of life. The Exodus: The story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, led by Moses, is a foundational narrative in the Bible. However, archaeological evidence for such a mass migration, which would have been a significant event in ancient Egypt, is lacking. The Census in the Birth of Jesus: The Gospel of Luke mentions a census conducted by Quirinius, the Roman governor of Syria, that required everyone to return to their ancestral homes. Historical records suggest that Quirinius' governorship and the census occurred much later than the birth of Jesus and did not require people to travel to ancestral homes. The Conquest of Canaan: The book of Joshua describes the Israelites' conquest of Canaan after the Exodus from Egypt. Archaeological evidence does not fully support the widespread and rapid conquest described; some cities mentioned as destroyed were either uninhabited at the time or continued to exist uninterrupted. King David's Empire: While King David is a central figure in the Bible, the archaeological evidence for the vast empire attributed to him is sparse. Some scholars argue that his kingdom, if it existed, might have been smaller and less influential than described. The Walls of Jericho: The Bible describes the walls of Jericho falling to the Israelites, led by Joshua. Archaeological excavations suggest that the walls of Jericho were not standing at the time they were supposed to have fallen to the Israelites. The Global Flood and Noah's Ark: The story of Noah's Ark, in which the entire Earth is flooded to destroy all life except for Noah, his family, and pairs of every animal species housed in an ark, directly contradicts all available biological evidence, including the genetic diversity evidence, and the minimum founding population requirements. There is no evidence of a global flood covering all landmasses, and the logistics of housing, feeding, and caring for pairs of all animal species is beyond feasibility. The Tower of Babel: The story of the Tower of Babel, where humanity's single language is confounded into many by God, conflicts with linguistic and anthropological studies that trace the evolution of languages over thousands of years. Jonah and the Whale: The account of Jonah living inside a whale (or large fish) for three days is biologically impossible. A human surviving inside a whale in the manner described in the Bible is simply not possible or consistent with whale biology. The Sun Standing Still: In the book of Joshua, it is claimed that the sun stood still in the sky to allow the Israelites more time to win a battle. This would imply a cessation of the Earth's rotation, which would have catastrophic consequences. The list goes on and on and on... I'm not saying you don't have a right to your beliefs, or that you shouldn't have faith in something, but none of the worlds "holy books" are a reliable source for historical information.

Religion is a cult for confused or gullible people. Good deeds and positive behavior doesn't require fairy tales.

@@carlwalker3557 But the Bible is wrong. It's full of ridiculous nonsense. It's from times where humans did not know much, and could not do better. Today, they know more, and should do better.

There was a big rise in sea level about 8k to 10k years ago. This caused areas that would've been very appealing to early humans to be flooded. The stories of this period would've been passed down and eventually become the flood myths that exist all over the world. In the case of the Noah myth and the others that have boats, it's likely that a guy just built a boat for his family and maybe some early domesticated animals, and made it to land. Then, as legends do, it changes over time until it's almost unrecognizable.

Same thing happened when the Mediterranean was formed. The straights of Gibraltar breaking, the massive valley gets flooded. This legend is passed down over thousands of years and morphs into Noah's Ark.

It's a fact that native Americans lived in America long before that dogma believed. So maybe, just maybe, think for yourself and do your own research. Stop seeing the world in black and white. You'll be doing yourself and the world a favor.

Agreed, I thought the casting was perfect!

I guess you just need to feed them enough to keep them alive, you dont need to keep them healthy. Like you wouldnt feed the cows as much as youd feed a cow youre trying to sell or milk. You just need it to survive. I imagine if this was real, every body on that boat would be starving and emaciated.

@@ErisApplebottom well you don't need to if god makes you not need to eat. handy so you don't need multiples of the animals that are food for the carnivores.

@@lasskinn474 o ya, i forgot about 🌈 *magic*

feeding? NM that.. who is shoveling all the shit so they dont die of methane poisoning? LITERAL BULLSHIT proves this myth is bullshit

@@lasskinn474 this is the weirdest part for me, this is such a common honest answer I see from Christians. "God made them not need to eat. God made the boat float. God temporarily changed the physiology of every sea creature in the planet so they'd survive in fresh water, then changed them back later"... I mean, if he was gonna do that, why make the boat? Why anything at that point, just make the planet stop existing, recreate a perfect copy of it but only with Noah's family in there and skip the whole thing. It's so weird man.

It's the same thing with "flat earthers". It isn't about the facts, they just want to be part of a group that shares the same beliefs. They feel "in the know" so they can look down on those who believe in the "official story".

That's what I think too. Along with the Black Sea the Red Sea may have just been a river during the last ice age until the ice melted and and a massive flood may have rapidly happened there too. To those people it would have seemed like the whole world flooded.

There's also a possibility of a meteor hitting Greenland 12,000 years ago and creating a huge tsunami that ransacked the Sahara killed of Saber toothed cats and other mega fauna 12,000 years ago, due to the younger dryas caused by the meteor. It's also theorized to be the flood that drowned Atlantis 12,000 years ago.

Otherwise known as Meltwater Pulse B

There is definitely a shared human experience of quickly rising waters that manifested it self as the flood myth.

Hol' up.... Bible class??!! There's nothing I despise more than indoctrination of children.

I wanted to shout this at the screen several times. glad someone else mentioned it.

Yeah, absolutely. The more you delve into Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Canaanite myth, legend and history, the more you realise that the whole bible is just full of retcons and renames strung together into a cohesive (but badly edited) narrative that is context appropriate to the Hebrews for the Old Testament (Torah), and the Graeco-Romans for the New Testament (Gospels). Finding out that Hebrew language is just a dialect of Canaanite was a real glass breaker moment for me. The later Canaanite chief god named Baal basically fits the description of Yahweh in every manner, and the older Canaanite chief god being called El is just a mic drop on the entie bible - the Israelites literally fused the 2 major Canaanite chief gods into one, and so many epithets of Yahweh and his angels are some derivative of El (El Shaddai, Raphael, Gabriel, Sataniel etc etc). The only way to take that is that the Israelites were a Canaanite sub group - probably formed as a city state in Canaan during the Egyptian New Kingdom dominion of the area attested in the Merneptah stele.

He kept it down in the blazement until it flooded

But there's only one simons hair, how will they procreate and populate Simons head?

I suspect that the closest Simon is going to get is hearing Picard recounting the story to Dathon in the TNG episode "Darmok."

Interestingly the Epic of Gilgamesh while the first significant recorded narrative is still just a collection of earlier myths and stories squashed into a cohesive singular text. Unfortunately we don't have a single complete version of it as yet - unless it turns out that some of the many cuneiform tablets yet to be translated in museums contain the missing pieces.

Hilarious. It's SO funny.
