@@LM-jz9vh Abraham was said to be born in Ur, in Sumeria. It would make perfect sense then that those stories of the flood are the same as those in Sumerian literature.

​@blllllllllllllllllllrlrlrlrlrllrr Yes, that's what the story says, but the reality is that the Sumerians wrote these stories (myths) first and the later Israelites borrowed them and modified them for their own theological purposes. The Sumerians pre-date the Israelites and their stories in the historical record. Sumerian texts date back to 3,500 to 3,000 BCE. Abraham is said to exist around 2,300 to 2,200 BCE.

​@@blllllllllllllllllllrlrlrl7059 Also, the ancient Israelites were Canaanites or a mix thereof. According to the general consensus of scholarship *(even critical Christian scholars),* YHWH was originally incorporated into the Canaanite pantheon as a son of the Canaanite high god El before inheriting the top spot in the pantheon and El's wife Athirat (Asherah) before religious reforms. If you want to see if El is fictional, just read his mythology in the Ugaritic/Canaanite texts. "When El was young, he came across two beautiful Goddesses washing their clothes in the Sea. They were Athirat (Asherah) and the Goddess Rahmaya, and, after buttering them up by cooking a meal for them, he asked them to choose between being his daughters or wives. They choose the latter and became the mothers of the Gods Shachar "Dawn" and Shalim "Dusk"." "I should add here that it is very clear from the grammar that the noun nachalah in v. 9 should be translated “inheritance.” *Yahweh receives Israel as his “inheritance” (nachalah), just as the other sons of El received their nations as their inheritance (nachal, v. 8).* With this verb, especially in the Hiphil, the object is always what is being given as an inheritance. Thus, Israel is given to Yahweh as his inheritance. ((Here I’m indebted to Dan McClellan.)) It would make no sense for Elyon to give himself an inheritance. Moreover, as I’ve argued elsewhere, it is not just the Gentile nations that are divided up according to the number of the sons of El. It is all of humankind, i.e., “the sons of Adam.” This clearly includes Israel. And the sons of Adam are not divided up according to the number of the sons of El, plus one (i.e., plus Elyon). They are divided up, according to the text, solely according to the number of the sons of El. *Thus, that Yahweh receives Israel as his inheritance makes Yahweh one of the sons of El mentioned in v. 8. Any other construal of the text would constitute its rewriting."* *"The Most Heiser: Yahweh and Elyon in Psalm 82 and Deuteronomy 32 - Religion at the Margins"* based on the *majority scholarly consensus.* (Written by Thom Stark who is a Christian) *"Michael Heiser: A Unique Species? - Religion at the Margins"* (A second response to Michael Heiser) *"Excerpt from “Yahweh and the Gods and Goddesses of Canaan” by John Day - Lehi's Library."* *"The Table of Nations: The Geography of the World in Genesis 10 - TheTorah.com"* (Excluding the short narrative on Nimrod (vv. 8-12), which appears to be a later addition, Genesis 10 contains *70* names of nations or cities, a number that was symbolic of totality.

A theory that is equally valid to the noachian deluge

@@archivalblob56 Yep. 🙂

Adam wasn't deceived. The ground did produce thorns and thistles because Jesus worn the crown of thorns and thistles. God told Adam the prophecy of the resurrection. Genesis 3:15 The Sacrifice of Jesus was the first part of the prophecy of Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your offspring and her offspring. He will crush your head, and you will bruise him in the heel.” Satan the Dragon and the Wild Beast the 6th Kingdom executed Jesus on their image the cross. It was the Roman Empire of Italy that is also the shape of the heel. So the first part of the prophecy is complete . Satan bruised Jesus in the heel.

The Ice Age and Sword! How about the myth of King Arthur after The Roman Empire made Christianity the State Religion. By using their image the Cross and teaching of the Trinity! Sun, moon and star worship. Revelation 17:17 The skies became darkened. In AD 536, the first of three massive volcanic eruptions ushered in a ice age. It coincided with an epidemic of the plague, the decline of the eastern Roman Empire, and sweeping upheavals across Eurasia. The 2nd seal of Revelation 6:5 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say: “Come!” 4 Another came out, a fiery-colored horse, and it was granted to the one seated on it to take peace away from the earth so that they should slaughter one another, and he was given a great sword. With the land bridge frozen to the Americas. Britain became the 7th Kingdom of Revelation. So what year did this Kingdom become the Wild Beast with two horns. The false prophet and wild beast arrived with the Great War of 1914.

🤔😂 Just as plausible?

Satan is quite fascinating

⁠How so?

The best content usually is.

How Satan is fooled! Did Satan know Jehovah God was going to resurrect Jesus from the dead! Even Satan believed " For it is Written" Satan quoted Psalms 91:11-12. Because he thought he knew the future. Lol Matthew 4:5 Then the Devil took him along into the holy city, and he stationed him on the battlement of the temple 6 and said to him: “If you are a son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written: ‘He will give his angels a command concerning you,’ and, ‘They will carry you on their hands, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’ 10 Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘It is Jehovah your God you must worship, and it is to him alone you must render sacred service.’” Matthew 27:41 In the same way also, the chief priests with the scribes and the elders began mocking him, saying: 42 “Others he saved; himself he cannot save! He is King of Israel; let him now come down off the torture stake, and we will believe in him. 43 He has put his trust in God; let Him now rescue him if He wants him, for he said, ‘I am God’s Son.’” 46 About the ninth hour, Jesus called out with a loud voice, saying: “Eʹli, Eʹli, laʹma sa·bach·thaʹni?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” 47 At hearing this, some of those standing there began to say: “This man is calling E·liʹjah.” 48 And immediately one of them ran and took a sponge and soaked it in sour wine and put it on a reed and gave it to him to drink. 49 But the rest of them said: “Let him be! Let us see whether E·liʹjah comes to save him.” 50 Again Jesus called out with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit.

The Lamb of Almighty God! YHVH! Yehovah! Jehovah! Mark 16:8 In the Gospel of Mark. If the women tell no one then, Who is ! What each Gospel story is about.The four living creatures! Matthew Who was! Mark Who is! Luke Who is Coming! John The Lamb of YHVH! The four gospels are associated with the four living creatures: Matthew, the man, Mark the lion, Luke the ox, and John the eagle. John has Jesus dying on a different day. It's the Day of Preparation, not the Day of Preparation for Passover. It was the day they prepared the lambs for sacrifice. While at the same time, Jesus is prepared for sacrifice. Jesus is the Lamb of YHVH Yehovah Jehovah a man, a lion, an ox and an eagle. The man symbolises the prophet; the lion, kingship; the ox, priesthood, and the eagle, fatherhood.

Religion in a nutshell. 😉

Pangea mentioned in the Bible? The Bible corresponds with the Pangaea theory when it states, "And God said, 'Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear. And it was so" (Genesis 1:9). 2 Peter 3:5 For they deliberately ignore this fact, that long ago there were heavens and an earth standing firmly out of water and in the midst of water by the word of God; 6 and that by those means the world of that time suffered destruction when it was flooded with water.

I think the implication is that the survivors, Noah family's descendants, keep such record of the flood. This also doesn't make sense, as it would mean that they traveled to covered all the world, settled where other civilizations had existed, and continued their traditions, building techniques, using their languages, etc, and ignoring everything they should have know. Nevermind the genetic trail doesn't match.

Exactly! It makes no sense if you devote even 1% brain power thinking about it. People are just plain gullible.

You just leave out "thinking" 😆

Stories get passed from person to person over vast distances over long periods of time. As a result there are similar stories found amongst different peoples on opposite sides of the globe. When these stories are not also found in the Bible religious folks like this say that they're just made up stories, but when they are they say they're proof that the Bible is true.😂

This is called rationalism. There is simply no need to come up with a plausible explanation of a story like this. How about it’s just made up. Maybe there were floods but none of the characters or the giant ark need to be explained, they are just part of a fiction.

YES! The Nakh tribe experienced that particular flood. Ian Wilson's "Before the Flood" speaks about all that you wrote in full detail. After the Black Sea flood, the Nakh tribe began the vine industry near the Caucasus mountains - which confirms the statement in the Bible: "Noah planted a vine". Genesis 6:4 sons of God and daughters of men are the priestesses and kings of the Black Sea region that followed the Great Mother goddess instead of Yahweh. That civilization and religion in that region was destroyed by the Black Sea Flood.

Because they're not arguments. They're just flimsy excuses meant to give the miniscule justification necessary for fanatics to believe their faith is rational. They don't have to be convincing, because they're aimed at people who are already convinced.

No evidence of the flood and the physics debunks the fairytale. But your point about building it etc is correct.

Especially out of wood, a wooden structure that big would have immediately fallen apart.

Now you can honestly say, I once was lost but now I'm found!

Im Christian and I dont believe the flood is what they make it.

"How did bears, elk, cougars, armadillos, etc get to the Middle East to catch the Ark before the flood?" The bigger question, to me, is how did sloths get to South America? If you watch creationist videos, they like to mock the hypothesis that monkeys got to the new world on a vegetation raft. But, surprisingly, they never actually give THEIR explanation for how they got there after the flood. We have New World Monkeys in South America. Somehow, those monkeys got to South America after the flood. What is the creationist explanation for how that happened? But now back to sloths. Sloth bodies are such that they cannot metabolize food at a fast rate. The reason sloths move so slowly is because they can not get enough energy to move any faster. At their fastest, they can only go at a speed of about 300 feet per day. It's not that they are lazy, their bodies cannot metabolize food fast enough to give them the energy to go any faster. So now, after the flood, the sloth needs to get back to South America. Why does the sloth need to go to South America? Don't even ask that, because there is no reason at all. But still, they are in South America so somehow they go there. How? Let's guess....a land bridge across the Bering Strait. Ok. Now, the sloth gets off the ark and goes full speed for South America (let's give them Central America to be generous) via the land bridge. How long does it take for them to get there? 1000 years. Yep, a sloth on a mission from Turkey to South America would take 1000 years to get there. At that point, the vegetation raft carrying monkeys for a couple of weeks/months doesn't seem so unreasonable.

The Bible NEVER claimed a worldwide flood. Local animals. The word is "eretz" - the same word used in the Genesis 1 creation. This is simply just an undoing of the Day 6 setup of Genesis 1 - humans. Genesis 1 is TEMPLE liturgy.There was no intent to literally address the entire planet. The sons of God and daughters of men was a RELIGIOUS setup of priestesses and kings of the mother Goddess. Yahweh was putting an end to that system while the Nakh tribe survived and started the vine industry near the Caucasus mountains. The Black Sea Flood was enough to accomplish all this.

We don't have that many well preserved fossils though. Population estimates of dinos, etc, are based on large multiplication of the incomplete skeletons we do manage to find. It's a miracle when lucifer lets us find even one fully complete skeleton. lucifer loves the attention he gets from haters thanks to all bibliolatries, which iblis/lucifer has obviously inspired, anyone with a second thought can understand this bibliolatries have caused great evil, even when favorite interpretations/metaphors are chosen instead of the literal words.

@@letsomethingshine I mean, we have approximately the amount of fossils that are expected it they were formed by many natural processes across millions and billions of years, as opposed to the zero fossils that would be left if a global flood simultaneously atomized and vaporized everything on the surface of the Earth within seconds of its start. Not the least of which is because there would be no humans or animals who would have survived to have repopulated the Earth through an inevitably debilitating amount of incest to have eventually discovered the concept of fossils, much less fossil evidence.

Noah would not have survived a week, the methane gas would kill everything.

So many assumptions stated as facts.😂

My friend, god miraculously protected them and the ark, lol. You can't approach this logically.

God protected Noah's Ark & plants had started growing by the time they left the ark, so Noah's Ark didn't get destroyed and there clearly was enough food. Basically you have to have the supernatural for it to be possible. "Proven" science has actually shown itself to be pretty fallible. Scientists have to have a load of faith to believe in many of their theories and facts that actually have huge holes in them.

@@rickiestubbs8779 I say unless you can observe something as it happened you can't 100% prove / disprove anything. Everyone has to have faith in whatever they believe.

And they had children, who could ask their grannys and grandpas. Thus, in my family, there are stories about Big Bill, my paternal great-grandfather who was a steel union official who then commuted to Ellis Island from Pittsburgh (weekly, not daily) until he died in his 50s.

The answer would be that since ALL the peoples around the world descended from Noah, they would have all taken with them the story but the details of when and how it happened would have changed as it got told and retold.

@@davidweihe6052 Seems you missed the sarcasm of my first comment

Mostly agreed, although I'm inclined to disagree with your point in parentheses. I would argue that the Author, and/or the Culture & Society of the Author, in all most-probable likelihood, did Not understand it to be a myth. Many people of Other cultures & societies, like perhaps the Greeks, would have understood that, but the ancient Hebrews or the even-more-ancient Babylonians & Sumerians? Nah. In fact, the entire Cosmological 'Model' of the Israelites (as pointed out by Dan in this video) was based on misunderstandings, ignorance, and incredulity toward Natural Forces; explained the "Heavens & Earth" as effectively a Literal Snowglobe under an Enormous Ocean. And they almost undoubtedly saw the entire world as being Much Much MUCH Smaller than it actually is, especially in light of their lack of fast long-distance travel. And hence the idea that a Large, but Absolutely Local, Flood constituted "Global Divine Punishment".

Myths can be true. You have the wrong definition of myths. It comes from Greek and derives from the word "thoughts". Equating myth with being false is a modern setup.

YES PLEASE!

What Dan said is an extremely condensed recap of science that can be found in any textbook. And school textbooks are a distillation of hundreds if not thousands of research papers. He didn’t make any very specific, possibly controversial, statement which can be traced back to one or few sources. I honestly don’t see how he could go about posting sources even if he would. Imo it’s like asking “can you post sources about the earth being round?”. It’s such a basic science fact that the difficulty is there’s too many sources. If your aim is personal growth watching science videos on KZfaq is an easy, fun and cheap way to achieve it. I am sure I have watched videos on all the topics Dan mentioned, from the formation of the Himalayas, to how fossils are formed, from gigantic glaciers floods to ancient near East cosmology. I am always surprised to see how Dan, whose expertise is in biblical studies, is able to give such a clear, correct and yet succinct explanation of the science. Truly remarkable combination of vast knowledge and excellent teaching skills.

@douglasgrant8315 Joseph - Imhotep - Thoth - Hermes! Hermes, the Greek god of interpretive communication, was combined with Thoth, the Egyptian god of wisdom. The Egyptian priest and polymath Imhotep had been deified long after his death and therefore assimilated to Thoth in the classical and Hellenistic periods. When the Greeks learned that the Egyptians had a god Thoth, or Tehuti, who specialized in wisdom and learning, they named him Hermes Trismegistus, or “thrice greatest Hermes.” Supposedly Hermes Trismegistus was the scribe of the gods who authored the sacred hermetic works that described the material world as well as the quest for spiritual perfection. Altar and Pillar Isaiah 19:19 Revelation 5:5 Imhotep - Joseph the same person who built the step pyramid. Acts 7:10... God gave him favor before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. God also gave Joseph unusual wisdom, so that Pharaoh appointed him ruler over all of Egypt and put him in charge of everything he owned. The Great Pyramid has 8 sides. The 8 sides represent the 8 kingdoms of the world. Jesus is the corner stone. The last kingdom to rule forever. There is actually ten sides counting top and bottom. First Empire was Nimrod. Who represents Babylon the Great, the Empire of false religion. The bottom of the pyramid is a side. All eight Kingdoms of Revelation ride with the harlot, Babylon the Great. Revelation 17:17 The Great Pyramid having no top corner stone, and the top being flat is the Harlot. Jesus is the cornerstone the builders rejected. The Nations would rather follow the Harlot than Jesus. Revelation 17:9 “This calls for a mind that has wisdom: The seven heads mean seven mountains, where the woman sits on top. 10 And there are seven kings: Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet arrived; but when he does arrive, he must remain a short while. 11 And the wild beast that was but is not, it is also an eighth king, but it springs from the seven, and it goes off into destruction. Matthew 21:42 Jesus said to them: “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone that the builders rejected, this has become the chief cornerstone. This has come from Jehovah, and it is marvelous in our eyes’? 43 This is why I say to you, the Kingdom of God will be taken from you and be given to a nation producing its fruits. What does the Sphinx really represent. Because Jesus is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Isaiah 19:19 In that day there will be an altar to Jehovah in the middle of the land of Egypt and a pillar to Jehovah at its boundary. 20 It will be for a sign and for a witness to Jehovah of armies in the land of Egypt; for they will cry out to Jehovah because of the oppressors, and he will send them a savior, a grand one, who will save them. Revelation 5:5 But one of the elders said to me: “Stop weeping. Look! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered so as to open the scroll and its seven seals.”

I am a big proponent for encouraging people to nurture their personal faith. Find the truth for your life in the teachings. You don’t need to believe in a literal interpretation of the bible to be a Christian. The issue i see most often is when people take it literally and use that to attack or work against other people. But if you’re using “love thy neighbor as thy self” to make your life better without hurting others, that’s awesome for you!

CORRECT!

It lasted various periods of time, if you read the TNK/OT in full for all the different versions/numbers of days. I heard one rabbi say there are 4 different flood gospels in the TNK. Christians did not want to notice this because it becomes even more clear that BOTH their pagan and Christian parents and ancestors all the way back were always liars onto themselves.

Initial tsunamis due to the asyeroid/comet impact. Then the rain from the billions of tons of water vaporised and sent into the upper atmosphere.

No data to support many of the scientific theories. Scientists have to have faith in their interpretations too

@@MatthewMorris1997 not really. A scientist will first have some observation (in this case deep ocean sediments deposited on the coast of Western Australia). The scientist will develop a hypothesis that may explain these initial data. The hypothesis will be able to be tested and can be further examined. (In this case the sediments are suggestive of being deposited by tsunami - given the shape and contours etc.) If the data do not support the hypothesis then the hypothesis must be either changed or discarded. Further data are collected - in this case by looking for tsunami deposits on Indian Ocean coastlines in places like Africa and the middle east. Dating of the deposits can be undertaken and the time of the event identified. The pattern of deposits can give an approximate area where the event initiated. Putting all these factors together including locating a crater on the floor of the Indian Ocean which is where an asteroid struck in the timeline generally given by cultural memories and records. Is all this correct? We do not know but it is an interesting area for further exploration and if it is wrong then so be it. A theory can be supported, adjusted, or abandoned as the data will show. Religion, on the other hand starts with a conclusion, collects no data, and undertakes no investigations. The flood of Noah as written in the bible did not happen those data are clear and unequivocal.

@@ianb9028 I disagree with that because some scientists do exactly the same thing, they already rule out what they don't want to believe, what doesn't fit with what they want to believe. True science looks at the evidence openly and doesn't rule anything out off the bat. Personally I've seen enough to believe that the Flood did happen because there are many pieces of evidence that science can't explain. Personally I disagree with uniformitarianism & most of sciences so called proven "facts" regarding the ancient world. "Science" acts like it's impartial but most of the time it is anything but. It's already decided that it's hypothesis, assumptions, theories, are true and omits everything that disagrees with it. There are honest scientists out there who look at the evidence just as it is, but many have to follow the agenda, tow the line, or they won't receive funding. There is no scientific consensus because the scientists that disagree are censored and ignored. I'd suggest you watch some of AiG's talks on the Flood and evidence for it, they point out some very interesting pieces of evidence that science can't explain / refuses to even discuss. Anyway if all people lived near the coast in ancient times, and that destructive tsunami happened fast enough that they couldn't escape, that could lead to all these Flood stories. Personally I believe happened and that there are scientists who have proven that it happened. I presume neither of us is going to budge on our views. Just remember that scientists aren't as impartial, unbiased as they claim to be, I've read many books on the subject & science actually doesn't support itself, in many areas it's a faith in the unseen just like religion is.

When was the Himalayans Created! The Garden of Eden would have been in Pangea. All continents and mankind would have all existed as a single continent called Pangea.

So at what point would there have been a flood to shape Italy the Roman Empire the 6th Kingdom of the World. Adam wasn't deceived.

He will crush your head, and you will bruise him in the heel.” Satan the Dragon and the Wild Beast the 6th Kingdom executed Jesus on their image the cross. It was the Roman Empire of Italy that is also the shape of the heel. So the first part of the prophecy is complete . Satan bruised Jesus in the heel.

I assume they are referring to how many types of rocks actually bind to water, so it’s just in a molecular state, not in any specific phase because it exists as many individual water molecules within the rock. And there are many different ways that this functions, this is vastly oversimplified

Noah didn't drink, smoke or have a high cholesterol diet. He also swam every day and did yoga. Why is a life of 600 years so hard for you to believe? 🤣

Additionally, according to the text, Noah lived another three hundred and fifty years after the Flood to the ripe old age of 950. (Genesis 9:28-29)

What is to forgive? You blew the proper capitalization, but Dryas is spelled correctly. And the sea level going up hundreds of feet is hardly “smaller localized flooding”.

No Flood was not 6000 years ago. it is made up fiction.

The Younger Dryas event, which pretty much ended the Global Ice Maximum and started the Interglacial Period that we haved lived in, occurred about 13,000 years ago, not one hundred thousand years ago.

There were no "tide pod guzzling teeny boppers and twenty somethings". Calls to the poison hotlines at the time that story was going around showed NO increase in any poisoning by tide pods and in fact the only cases recorded were elderly people, probably suffering dementia. You would think listening to Dan would have you wired to use critical thinking and not just believe stories you hear, but perhaps not.
