Wait, because some of the stories have truth to them, it doesn't make it the word of god. It also doesn't make the whole bible true. If you look at Greek Myths, you may find some of the same things in archaeology. Does that make all Greek myths true? Same with all other ancient writings?

Absolutely wrong and I reject that statement in full.
Biblical Archaeology and Biblical Scholarship has proved the Bibles authenticity time and time again, the world is just failing to recognize it.

Here you go:
www.answersingenesis.org...
www.biologos.org...
www.solhaam.org...

That's a good start.
There's plenty of others as well.
Define soul? You presented it to me and I went with it. I don't know what a soul is.

I suppose we'll find out when we get to Paradise?

That's true, and not only is Noah a population of people, so were his sons and their wives. So there were potentially thousands of people on the ark, along with those animals.

As this chapter is the telling of the geneology of Noah, was Noah an individual or a population of people,? When the bible says someone lived X number of years and then died, did these entire populations die simultaneously?
If I remove the sections of the brain that controls emotions, will my soul be partly gone? Is that what happens when someone is lobotomized? Their soul is removed?

Mind/will/emotions. It goes with the spirit after death. How people who have had NDE's know who they are and what is going on when they leave the body. We are 3-part beings, made in the image of God. What is scary is the "2nd death" Christ spoke of is when the Spirit and Soul are separated after final judgment.

How many other terms did he twist in god's word?
Yeah, but what does the holy spirit tell you it is? Besides, why would god give Noah instructions to build a giant boat in detail, but it is actually a land bridge? What trickery is this?

What if the ark is a metaphor for a land bridge or dwelling where a group of Noahs and Noahs children dwelled in safety?
What if the Biblical "flood" is actually referring to an ice age?
The original Hebrew leaves questions such as these open to interpretation......
It's a fascinating subject
There's also the possibilities that Noah and his sons were single people, among the first of invidiaul entities mentioned in the Bible, and that the flood did in fact happen, on a global scale.
There's also the interpretation that the flood was a local flood......

All the posters here are assuming (again) that what they believe is factual truth.
It is impossible to prove or disprove anything written in the bible, be it the Old (hebrew) testamant or the New(Christian) testament.
The sooner all religious and their non-religious adversaries accept that, the betterof we will be.

Originally posted by NOTurTypical
Now this is shocking, we've spent billions on atom colliders to discover this, and a Hebrew sage name Nachmanadies stated this in the 12th century be doing an extreme careful study of Genesis and the codes within it. His language was "4 are knowable, 6 and not knowable"

We are talking about two different things. I was talking about the bible verses he posted. None of them mention anything about "day". The verses said, "So and so lived for so many years, and then he died." That's what I was talking about.

Found it, yes that windword person said "day", twice. lol See, I'm only half-crazy!!
