I love how logic has entered this thread about 300 posts into the discussion!

David, thank you for taking the time to post all these excellent links to research concerning possible major floods in the Earth's recent history. I tend to agree Noah's flood is probably a myth or else based on or inspired by true stories of real floods that occurred earlier in the Earth's history.

However, wasn't Noah meant to have collected all species of the Earth (including Kangaroos and Koalas here in Australia...) before the flood came? Or am I remembering the story wrong?
Fay - please come back into the discussion as you make me laugh a lot and I love your total confidence in all biblical events :)
This whole discussion thread was meant to be a bit of fun anyway and not too serious ;)
Well..all the continents were one big land mass at least once in history...so...why is worldwide flooding so difficult to believe...as for Koalas and roos....didn't species adapt to the envoronmets anyway....I mean...Australia is one of the most inhospitable environments next to Antarctica....why donvt we see any Australian creatures anywhere else in the world.
Krishna wrote: "but she said that she was not there at that time so she is also confused."I just was laughing to myself, Krishna, when I pictured the dino birds not wanting to go into Noah's ark and flapping flapping flapping around in circles before finally collapsing onto that little ark :)
And good questions, Catherine, about the koalas and roos...to which I have no answers for...
All I know is there are a lot of descendants of the dinos living here in OZ...like the crocodile
Krishna wrote: "how did Noah convince the dino birds and others to come on the boat?"Maybe he used a fiddle (or similar instrument ) like the Pied Piper of Hamlin did to lure all the rats out of the village.
In years to come, when the Second Great Flood has caused the destruction of civilisation, and this thread is the only fragment left, a new history will arise... ;)

Crocs aren't indidigenous to Australia though...you find them in Africa as well...and Alligators are their norhtern cousins...in Florida.
Their are other animas that are only indigenous to certain areas...Penguins, Polar Bears, Arctc Hare and Fox, Reindeer, Puffins, Flamingoes, Lions, Rhinos...there may be others....can't think right now...but these are only found on 1 continent each and nowhere else....
Other animals moved with people...Sheep, Horses, Cattle, Goats, Pigs....Cats and Dogs can be found almost anywhere in some type of breed

We were talking about dino birds? Oh. Whatever.
I mean, the birds obviously would have had nowhere to land except for Noah's ark. Even the tallest mountain was covered blah blah blah... So I mean, the two of every kind of birds that God had come to the ark came, but I'm sure other birds like, came to the ark to get from the storm.
I'm glad I can be of your laughing convenience... Glad I'm appreciated.
Am just having some fun, Fay, not laughing at you but with you - some matters don't need to be serious So thanks for the humor :)
Krishna wrote: "how did Noah convince the dino birds and others to come on the boat?"God called the animals to Noah's boat. Noah didn't really have to do anything about that.
James Morcan wrote: "Am just having some fun, Fay, not laughing at you but with you - some matters don't need to be serious So thanks for the humor :)"
I know. :)
GreatSo can't those birds be dino birds?
Dinos flapping until the fall onto the ark
Crazy images in my mind
In dino language, Krishna
Fay believes baby dinos were taken onto the little boat, I thinkBut I believe some species of dino would be quite large even as babies
How big was baby t-Rex?
Another reason Noah's ark and the flood story is nuts is because it talks of an angry God wiping out all humans except NoahThat ain't a God
In the Old Testament God often sounds like an ET being to me
Yes! Case solved Krishna!Then again, were all dinos created in eggs?
Genesis reads like pure ancient alien tales to me and Adam & Eve seem like they are being genetically engineered
Yes...I'm pretty sure all dinosaurs came from eggs....like today's reptiles and birds

God is allowed to get angry....we are his children...and when we're naughty....he punishes us....with floods and plagues and other horrors
Yes...I do...but I also am open to Hinduism..as my father in Indian
I'm also open to Buddhism....Althoughost Islam is very similar to Chrstianity...I don't really follow it too much...I guess mostly because I don't understand it....and then there's the animosity betwwen Christians and Muslims
God getting angry and having a temper tantrum to wipe out humans doesn't sound remotely God-like to me. Likewise with punishing humans.Also, the big contrast between the Old Testament God and New Testament God is another red flag...
I agree KrishnaAnd ETs were hunting dinos too right? And wiped them out ?
Krishna wrote: "I know what happened! the eggs were kept on the boat, suddenly a big wave came and the eggs broke. that's how dinos got extinct."Quite brilliant. You've 'cracked' it.
Well..but there's a difference in people and the beliefs from Old to New Testament also....Old Testament...people are worshiping false gods and idols
New Testament...they're not....
And God never claimed to be perfect....he made mistakes too
I wonder what fried dino eggs tasted like? (Shame there weren't any humans around to try it.);)
Imagine Noah when he dropped an egg...damn, there goes an entire species!!!
God made mistakes, eh?That doesn't sound too God-like either
Krishna wrote: "Harry, humans were there to taste it. Noah was not a vege right?"Sorry, I was forgetting we're now all agreed on Noah saving dinosaurs. ;)
Ok so Krishna doesn't sound very godlike eitherThese religious Gods also sounding very juvenile and need to grow up!
Here's hoping the ET gods are more mature and don't order floods to occur any time they don't get their way ;)
If I was Noah's mate and he said "I've just spoken to God and he said he wants to wipe out humanity with a flood as he's not happy--" I would interject and say "Noah, listen. whoever you spoke to, was not God."

God didn't want to kill everyone, He just had to. It was all man's fault. Man was so sinful and evil that God was so sad He had created them. All were evil except for Noah and his family.
James Morcan wrote: "If I was Noah's mate and he said "I've just spoken to God and he said he wants to wipe out humanity with a flood as he's not happy--" I would interject and say "Noah, listen. whoever you spoke to, ..."I always wonder what Joseph's mates said when he told them about the virgin birth. "Uh... Joseph, mate. Listen..."
Non religious Gods like Native American or Aboriginal Gods seem more advanced to meThe gods of organiZed religions seem like toddlers getting mad all the time

God never makes mistakes.
Harry, are you implying Mary was not a virgin but she slept with Joseph's best friend. So Mary and the friend came up with that story?
James Morcan wrote: "Harry, are you implying Mary was not a virgin but she slept with Joseph's best friend. So Mary and the friend came up with that story?"Would I imply such a thing?
The theory of any true God punishing humans and wiping them out or any of these things is nutsSounds like this God needed to go to anger management classes
C'mon guys, it doesn't add up let's face it
Unless, we agree that maybe these stories are not literal...and there are true messages buried within fictional stories...and that the real God could be concealed behind these stories of false Gods
Yes Harry you would imply such a thingAnd I wanted everyone to know!
Some say the real Bible is not the words but the numbersA Bible Code
So maybe we are reading it all wrong
For me- and only me- I just couldn't worship and praise an angry god. Even if It created me. I'd tell him to go **** himself.Should Frankenstein turn on his creator if his creator is evil?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not accusing any god of being evil per se. But in the Bible, the chap is certainly a lot more love and forgiveness in the New Testament than he is in the older tales.

James, how would you feel if you were God, okay?
And lets say you created people, and you love the people you created. You love them soooo much.
But then, the lovely humans you created don't love you back, they disregard your requests, they become evil, they hate, they cheat, they steal, they kill, they are pure evil. What you made as good, turned into dangerous. Wouldn't you be the least bit angry?
Hey...your forgetting that the Roman/Greek gods fought with the Titans....yes...God made mistakes....why would you think he was perfect....we were created in his image....don't you think that is a clue?
Catherine wrote: "Hey...your forgetting that the Roman/Greek gods fought with the Titans....yes...God made mistakes....why would you think he was perfect....we were created in his image....don't you think that is a..."
Created in His image means we have a soul like Him. It doesn't mean that we are EXACTLY like Him.
Fay asking me or any other human how I'd feel if I was God is silly. You can't superimpose human emotions onto God.The real God must surely be genderless, timeless, perfect, fully formed, beyond human emotions like anger and beyond any need to punish its creations. rather, the real God must be pure compassion and non-judgemental, I say.

Well..of course! I'd want the opportunity to re-do the whole thing...srart from scratch....but that's me

That's exactly what I said earlier
