Did the Flood Happen; Questions About Noah

 

First, we cannot neglect physics and facts.

The water and moisture in our atmosphere comes through evaporation, regardless where the water comes from when it evaporates to get in the atmosphere.  Whether that is from oceans, creeks, streams, lakes and the like.

Thus, you cannot add to the oceans beyond what it basically now has through rain. The rain might flood some dry land somewhere and overflow the banks of the normal river or stream flow... but it eventually flows back to its normal ways or condition.

If the ice of both ice caps should melt, only then would the oceans rise, but it would only rise to about 206 ft from what it is today.

Thus, when it comes to the myth of the flood of Noah... it doesn't matter if it rained for 40 days to a 1,000 days. The ocean would not rise. If it is just rain. Yet, this bogus story claims that water covered the whole earth, and covered the mountains where the ark supposedly and eventually landed. On one of the mountains of the ancient Kingdom of Urartu, which is in modern Turkey and Antonia. Some of those mountains reach over 10,000 ft and some over 16,000 ft.

Thus, that didn't happen.

So how can a fundamentalist or a believer believe this story when these facts are before him?

2) To those of you that believe in this story, did you know that the bible has a time-line when the earth was created and by that timeline, the bible also claims the flood occurred in a certain year? According to this time-line, the flood happened in 2,507 BCE, give or take a bit, because no birthdays are given in this time-line.

Well, according to this story, the whole entire population of humanity was wiped out and killed by the flood. Likewise,  that all of mankind stems from Noah and his 3 sons and his 3 daughter-in-laws after the flood, which happened in 2,507 BCE.

Here is our problem... the ancient Egyptians have an unbroken chain of the kings and rulers over Egypt since 3,100 BCE, if not slightly older than that. So, if the flood was all over the globe and killed everyone, then why didn't it harm the Egyptians and other cultures? Maybe because it never happened on a global scale, rather it is more of a myth that got started after a terrible local flood that happened off the banks of the Euphrates River.

You can't ignore the Egyptian facts. Because the apologist would have to do some serious mental acrobatics to prove that the sons of Noah went down to Egypt and learned their language and culture and started it all back over again from scratch and also populating all of Egypt within mere months and days after the flood.

Nope, that probability is not happening.

Thus, based on these 2 things that I brought up shows and proves that the bible has hogwash in it. And those things should not be believed.
