Then Enki raises the city of Eridu from the abyss and makes it float over the water like a lofty mountain.

please pardon my inability to accept the importance of 'global flood stories' where all is washed away in a literal sense...in the big picture...if a forensic scientist can reconstruct an event that far back, the flood was of no particular consequence.

the victim was supposed to have been a Neanderthal. come on, give me a break.
when else could a Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon have come into contact?

its not my fault that the average person cannot view the above posted scene and realize that it is depicting the eternal battle between Babylon and Judah....or Sumer and Akkad...or perhaps something more relevant to the topic at hand. I still don't see that i'm off topic...but many others do.
everything I post has artistic value, despite the opinions of fellow posters. its not my fault that they have decided to dismiss the efforts of others as without purpose.
its not my fault if the staff decides that my post is off topic and to silence real voices with censorship...
i'm making a point...i just ask you to see it. that's if you want to.

i'll agree with everything you wrote.
what happens then...when the two have to decide between themselves who did more?
the battle is a subtle one...not outright conflict, but yeah, 'we' did this, but I did a little more.
and that little difference of opinion was enough to produce what you see on television and in the newspaper.
but its not a real battle in absolute terms...just children playing.
