SUMMATION - COOPERTON
You failed to adequately address the fact that we know where the Noahs Ark story came from. It's Sumerian. The Hebrews ripped it off and adapted it to their culture. There was no Noah. Conclusion - There was no flood.
You failed to adequately address the fact that flood stories in other cultures do not match up with the Noahs flood story. They are localized stories and myths, nothing more. If they had been from Noahs flood, the survivors would have told the same stories AND they all would be worshipping the same God of Noah, because He would have saved them from the flood. But they didn't. They all had their own pagan Gods. Conclusion - There was no flood.
You failed to adequately address the fact that Noah and his sons wouldn't have the shipbuilding skills to build a boat half the size of the titanic. No one then did. Conclusion - There was no flood.
You failed to adequately address the fact that Noah and his sons wouldn't have been able to gather the necessary lumber and other materials. Also that they never would have been able to finish the ark because sections would have rotted away before they finished. There wasn't enough time. Conclusion - There was no flood.
You failed to adequately address the fact that there isn't enough water on or in Earth for the flood to have happened. And the "water" inside the earth that you point to is SOLID, not sweet water. Your hypothesis on how it became sweet water doesn't work. And you failed to adequately address where it all supposedly went. And no, draining 'back into the earth' doesn't work. Conclusion - There was no flood.
You failed to adequately address the fact that there would have to have been over 8 million species of animal on the ark and tens of millions of species of insects. Your 'kinds' vs 'species' thing doesn't work. example - House cats don't turn into lions within 2,000 years to be eating Christians in Rome. The animals all simply wouldn't fit. Conclusion - There was no flood.
You failed to adequately address how the animals got to the ark from around the world. How did Pandas walk that far, without food! How did penguins get all the way from Antarctica, again without food on land? The sloth from South America? etc etc. Conclusion - There was no flood.
You failed to adequately address the fact that the animals would have needed a years supply of fresh food and fresh water. Where and how was this stored? What about the lions and tigers etc that need fresh meat? What about the Koala and it's eucalyptus? What about the Panda and it's bamboo? etc. What about the animals that eat termites and ants and insects? What about the animals that need fresh flowers like bees do? Your imaginary rooftop garden doesn't work. It would have been destroyed by the 40 days and nights of pounding flood rain. Conclusion - There was no flood.
You failed to adequately address the information on animal pee and poop. It would have taken 8 people 18 hours a day just working on clearing the pee and poop and even then they wouldn't get the job done. The disease would have overwhelmed them all rather quickly. Conclusion - There was no flood.
You failed to adequately address the information provided showing animal diversity. There is NO WAY that the diversity of the worlds animals came from 5,000 'kinds' of animals in 2400BC. IT DOESN"T WORK THAT WAY. Conclusion - There was no flood.
You failed to adequately address the information provided on human DNA diversity showing that humans did not all come from one man - Noah - 4400 years ago. DNA doesn't lie. Conclusion - There was no flood.
You failed to adequately address the information on EGYPT. That the culture and peoples flourished before, during, and after the alleged flood period. NO BREAK. They kept the same culture. They kept the same language. They kept the same pagan Gods. All things any offspring from Noah would not do. Conclusion - There was no flood.
You failed to adequately address the information on CHINA. That the culture and peoples flourished before, during, and after the alleged flood period. NO BREAK. They kept the same culture. They kept the same language. They kept the same pagan Gods. All things any offspring from Noah would not do. Conclusion - There was no flood.
You failed to adequately address the information on ICE SHELVES. That they still exist. They would have been destroyed by a world wide flood. AND their ice layers have been dated back 100,000 years, and there is no evidence of any world wide flood in any of the ice layers. Conclusion - There was no flood.
You failed to adequately address the information on trees that predate the alleged flood time. That there are trees alive older than when the flood was supposed to happen. They would all be dead if it had happened. And tree rings from that time from dead trees show no world wide flood. Conclusion - There was no flood.
You failed to address AT ALL the information I provided on page 2 - 21 Reasons In ROCKS that Noahs Worldwide Flood Never Happened . This thread is about rocks and I gave 21 examples IN ROCKS why the flood never happened. You did not address any of it. Conclusion - there was no flood.
You failed to adequately address the fact that, if the floods purpose was to punish people and destroy evil, IT FAILED IN IT"S PURPOSE. Sin immediately sprang up again. That makes God cruel for subjecting innocent animals to terror and horrible death by drowning. And that makes God stupid for not knowing his plan wouldn't work. The story is an insult to God. Conclusion - There was no flood.
Your position on this has been DESTROYED. Ground into the dirt.
COOPERTON ... you know you can still believe in God WITHOUT taking the Noahs Ark story as literal truth. It did not happen. It's okay to say that it didn't. God isn't going to get mad at you. It's simply the truth. The Old Testament stories are just stories that the uneducated peasants back in that time period made up to explain that which they couldn't explain.
ll that's required is to imagine 8 people trying to control and maintain a wooden boat half the side of the Titanic.

It would have been 8 million land animal species at the very least.
Plus tens of millions of bugs.
And no. 'kinds' doesn't work.
2 house cats can't turn into lions by 2,000 years later to be eating Christians in Rome.
You are wrong.

You have to convince us why we should throw out the near-totality of human knowledge on biology and geology because it happens to contradict what is said in a Millenia-old collection of poorly written and questionably translated desert scribblings.
Plus a load of other stuff down the line because anything the bible cares to speak about it gets absurdly wrong. Even the alleged history of the tribe that supposedly is the focus of part one. A poor showing for something claimed to be inspired by God himself. You'd think having created the universe, earth and everything contained within he'd have a better understanding of them.

That just make it even more difficult to be true. 3X the food water and waste, when 1x was already impossible for 8 people.
Derp.

The blonde and red haired, blue eyed sons of Noah that civilized Egypt and most of the Mediterranean, Africa, India.
DNA from the people living in those areas says you are wrong. They are not blonde, red haired, blue eyed and never were.

Anthropology. DNA hapligroups
DNA Hapligroups proves that there was no Noahs Ark with 8 people on board - and the everyone is related to Noah and his wife - from 2400 BC. If you want to start talking Hapigroups then your position is dead in the water.
