I'm still shocked that any rational, thinking person with an IQ over 100 could actually believe that something like this story could have actually happened. In so many ways it's just ludicrous. You do understand that not every animal on Earth is in one place on the planet to be loaded onto a boat? I won't even list out the other numerous things that simply cannot happen due to laws of physics, etc.
It’s entirely plausible if you don’t take the story so literally. There is scientific evidence of a massive flood in the region around the time the story would have taken place. Understand that the people retelling the story had limited knowledge of the earth at the time. It wasn’t a worldwide flood and he didn’t have all the animals on a boat. The reported measurements of the boat couldn’t hold that many animals.
The truth is there was likely a devastating regional flood and Noah built the boat and put his family and some farm animals on it that were needed for survival. Word by mouth over time embellishes the story. Now whether God warned Noah and the flood was targeting people as punishment or it was a random act of nature and Noah was intelligent enough to notice bad weather was coming can be left to argument between believers and non believers

Not here to argue back and forth. One day..whether you want believe it or not..EVERY knee will bow..and every tongue will confess..that HE is Lord. As humans our minds aren’t capable of understanding and making sense of everything God has and will do. Believe all the science you want..but there will be a day we all will have no choice but to believe..the rest is just where will you spend eternity.

I don’t think my salvation rests on anything I do, in fact I know it doesn’t. It is only thru Christs sacrifice that I am saved. It certainly doesn’t rest on how I view the story of Noah.

I will, it’s why God gave us brains.

I believe that despite my wicked sinful nature, I am saved thru the blood of Jesus spilled on the cross. You seem to be boasting about your faith, which isn’t because you are somehow better than anyone, but if it exists is a gift from God that you don’t deserve and didn’t earn.

when the whole world has a story of a great flood from people who are no way connected there is something to that.
Maybe it's just that wherever man has been living in the flood plain of a major river system for ten thousand years, they have passed stories down of an epic flood. The one-in-ten-thousand-year flood event.

quote:I’ve always found this perplexing. If God loves us, desires our love and worship, and the stakes are eternal—Heaven or everlasting suffering—why does He allow science, our closest approximation to ongoing revelation, to guide us away from Him? Our only path to salvation lies in a 2,000-year-old text, translated multiple times, riddled with logical inconsistencies and paradoxes. And many of His children have never encountered, or will never encounter, even this.

If my child were about to spend the night in a house filled with carbon monoxide, I would intervene with every means at my disposal. I wouldn’t leave a book on the nightstand and call it a day.
I don’t claim to know whether God exists, but given His omnipotence and desire to share eternal love and happiness with His cherished children, this seems like a deeply flawed plan.

Sorry but this deserves a bump and lots of upvotes.

So the God that created the Heaven, Earth, the galaxy, and everything in it, doesn’t have the ability to place 2 of every animal on Earth in one place? The problem with people like you is you limit your creator and elevate yourself like you’re an equal. You’re just a dumb sheep like the rest of us. You’re just lost.

“Trust the science.” I remember when folks like you were telling me that during Covid. They said my Faith in God isn’t going to keep me safe from this virus, science will. Get the vaccine they said. Imagine trusting some man made information platform over a book that God wrote. Man has failed me over and over in my lifetime. God has never failed me.

Precisely what the Bible is. Trust the faith is no different than trust the science.

Don’t waste your time arguing with these idiots that literally believe two of every species on earth somehow fit on a boat the size of a Carnival ship.
I’m sure there was a big flood…. No, it did not kill everything on earth.

If you believe Genesis 1:1, there is nothing in that book that is impossible. If you don’t, you’re still trying to figure out how we went from crawling from a puddle of ooze to planning a colony on Mars.
Jesus talked about the flood. I believe the flood happened.

Good lord people, I'm still shocked that any rational, thinking person with an IQ over 100 could actually believe that something like this story could have actually happened. In so many ways it's just ludicrous.

I wonder how much longer it will take for the majority of humans on this planet to realize that stories from the Bible, Quran, etc. are just that - stories meant to teach lessons, etc. Certainly not to be taken literally....
Adults who are not brain damaged are one of three types. Those who know better, those who know better but pretend otherwise and those who severely hampered by a lack of cognitive ability. The entirety of all religions is sooooo illogical that it is amazing so many adults pretend to believe any of it is factual. It is a gateway psychosis....

Atheists who take every word of the bible literally
Are there such atheists? I do not think it is possible to be an atheist and take the bible literally. It is entirely possible for an atheist to point out a believer taking the bible literally is silly but if an atheist thinks the bible is literal they ain't an atheist....
