Noah's Ark: The Story That Disproves the Entire Bible

  • God cannot lie. When his word touches on science and history, it is infallible. These two all or nothing claims are what many Christians (myself included) were raised to believe. Therefore, if after a thorough examination we find just one story to be fallacious, the entire Bible no longer has the right to be referred to as being both inspired and infallible.
    In this video I take you through a personal journey of how despite my desperate attempts to vindicate the story as being a factual account in history, I reached the eventual conclusion that it was nothing more than a mythological adaptation.

    I've been a skeptic since I was 13; Deuteronomy turned me at that age. Over 20 years later and I've been on a spiritual journey seperate from the Bible or from any contemporary religion in general, more gnosticism than anything. That being said, historically, there are a couple of floods that could have been *the* flood mentioned, though they would have been localized and not worldwide. The off chance does exist that if a more wide spread event happened quickly and receded quickly, it would only show up as a gradual increase in water level over years.. simply as a thinking exercise, think about the end of the Younger Dryas, when JUST such a gradual increase - pretty quick actually - does occur. Then look at the channeled scablands in Washington as well as some of the ripples in the landscape of the Sahara, both are evidence of massive flooding. Long story short, I'm not saying a Biblical flood happened. What I AM saying is that there's plenty evidence of local floods that would have definitely seemed massive to people involved as well as the fact that the story of Noah is repeated in various forms across all cultures and religions.
    Again, that's not to say those stories are 100% factual. But you'd be a fool to think there's absolutely nothing to them.

    Hi, After reading all of the comments posted below and after having started to read the Bible myself, I have been drawn to a conclusion I must just accept the Bible stories as they are written in the Bible. I tried and failed to logically explain the stories and formed the opinion that I cannot prove or logically explain most of the Bible and decided to stop trying.
    Religion means different things to many different people and that is ok. For me, I need to believe in my mind that there is a God responsible for all that exists. I cannot explain many things in the world, I just accept certain things as they are. It is not necessary for me to be able to explain everything, somethings will continue to always be a mystery.
    Faith is one of those things, but one thing is for certain we all will die at some point in time and I would rather wrap my mind around an unexplainable Bible than to try and wrap my mind around nothing at all.
    Thanks for posting this video.

      You don't have to wrap your mind around the bible, read some science books it's better. Also if you cannot get out of religion don't indoctrinate your children. Since they force it on people and children generation to generation, now my gf also say the same thing. "Faith in God is a must" she said. I'm grow up in Asia for 15 years and my hometown don't know Jesus Christ at all, we are all Buddhist, most of us are atheist Buddhist, some are theist Buddhist, no one say anything about Jesus we still live well and happy. We has myth about the global floods, too (probably local big floods since many asia countries next to the sea). There are 4 Dragons raise up and fight against the God clan create a first global flood. A Demon general is super strong and capture all 4 Dragons and used it as a condition to ask marry the princess of the God clan. The Jade emperor at first agree, thinking Demon general can't capture all 4 Dragons, but then he actually got all 4, and the Jade emperor change his mind, since that's endanger the God Clan. The Demon general at first want to marry princess of God Clan for power and overthrow the God clan, but then later see and fall in love with the princess for real. So in the end, God clan and Demon Clan fight huge battles with the 4 dragons mess up the whole world, make another global flood. So 2 huge global floods. I told my gf this and she said your story is bullshit, my story of Noah is the real one, only things in the bible are the truth, everything else is bullshit....Don't indoctrinate children and force them to believe....

    My mother was very religious. She used to read revelations to me as a bed time story. I lived a terrified childhood. Anyways, she told me that the people back then had a very blind perspective of the world because they didn't have science, telescopes, spaceships, etc. Their idea of the whole world was probably rather small. She said the whole world probably did not flood, but just a whole region that their small minds perceived as the whole world. The flood extended as far as the people knew to be their entire world. So supposedly Noah just rounded up the animals of the local area and some still were probably missed but existed elsewhere....which is more believable. She described how inaccurate most stories are from back then because of the small mindedness and lack of knowledge the people suffered from. She said you'd have to read between the lines with the Bible because the authors were ignorant.
    My poor sweet mother was a strange religious fanatic. She said southern baptists were pagans. Actually everyone but her was a pagan, a witch, or satanic. She had a much more cosmic view of God. That always stuck with me. Changed a bit when cancer got her though.
    God answered her prayers many times. I read a prayer of hers that was written before I was born. She asked for a perfect description of me when she wanted a child. Well, she got me. But when the cancer got her, she begged for God to heal her. I read the prayers and they were so sad. All of her talk of reading between the lines didn't change the fact that she brought up God's healing power stories in her prayers. My mother once told me that I would go to hell for listening to the backstreet boys. She was devout and God didn't spare her suffering. Preachers told me that she was just so devout that God wanted her to come home.

      @@rickhuntling7338 Did you read the rest of it though? I grew up terrified of the apocalypse & hell. That's no way to raise a child. I love my mother, despite her fanaticism. But she was a fanatic, and in the end it don't save her. All her actions did was push me away from religion. Now I have a cynical view on life & have no faith in established religion. I follow my own beliefs.
      I grew up bouncing from religion to religion, denomination to denomination. No church or religion was ever devout enough for my mother. Did you see the part about how every church was into paganism or witchcraft in her eyes? I grew up having to allow old men to wash my feet. Looking back on that with my adult knowledge, a man with a foot fetish very well could have been getting off on that. Once we had to handle snakes, and I was terrified. Luckily God saw me as a true believer and chose to not let the snake bite me. I never got a Halloween as a child, now I go all out for it. Christmas was also not allowed, neither was Easter.
      Religion was so drilled into my head that I was a fool. I survived a school shooting, but only because a wise teacher threw me into a classroom. The religion drilled into my head made me think that I could talk to the shooter about the love of the lord & pray with him. I was on my way to do just that when I was saved.
      See, I don't mind people being into religion. Whatever brings comfort, ya know? But not to the point where it makes children into fools. It took many years to fix the damage that had been done.

      Understand the common bible, was an infomercial for legalised murder and meat eating. For Rome had a huge economy for meat eating and killing of animals. The common bible that is so easily found in many different versions increasingly throughout the generations, was wholly amalgamated by Rome, by Constantine and his self elected council of Nicaea, who also changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. They stole from Authentic Hebrew sources, then referenced Gospel of the Nazarenes, which Yeshua whom they gave the name Jesus, had His happenings and sayings secretly recorded by His brother James the Just and mother Mary, amalgamated by John in prison. Made the New Testament, and burnt every copy available and killed many then, with one secret copy hidden in Tibet that was rediscovered in 1870’s by Friar Placidus, who translated it on his way back from Aramaic to Latin.
      Yeshua fed melons for example and bread in that Gospel to the thousand and cured their fever. Not fish. He stopped Judah from killing a lamb at the Last Supper, for He was the sacrificial lamb, for Moses in his error and rage allowed some of the Israelites to eat meat, that carried on for a few generations.
      So Yeshua was trying to bring about Isaiah 11: 6-9. Read that, and you will start to understand the common book, was an infomercial for legalised murder and meat eating. For Rome had a huge economy for meat eating and killing of animals. But in the beginning it was not so. The book, if you like to understand, had areas where it was allowed to be modified, For eg: When satan was allowed to negotiate Job's sufferings, so in some areas he wasn't able to influence the book makers at 325AD, because Heaven didn’t allow it. Like the saying goes, not one hair will drop from your head, if it wasn't allowed. So some books in the bible, was not allowed to be corrupted coming from Heaven, and so on earth it wasn't allowed. Another example, read Matt 5: 17 -20, then read Romans 10:4. Complete contradiction to one another's message. Paul is a fake apostle, the ultimate weapon of Rome against believers at the time.

    • @dealarr

      Evidence the New Testament is fictatious: “And in every case they discuss the bread but they don’t mention anything about fish. So I think that fish is a later addition. In fact, if you even look at the New Testament, it says, at another point, when Jesus is talking about the feeding of the five thousand, he says, ‘Don’t you remember when I fed the multitudes and all the bread that we took up?’ And he doesn’t mention the fish.
      The horse leg is also revealed (Horse leg is a saying to say a horse is pretending to be a human, but is exposed) in every version of the bible today:
      Matthew 16:9 New International Version Yeshua said: 9 Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? Where the fish at?
      Mark 8:16-21 New International Version 16 They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.”
      17 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened?
      18 Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember?
      19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” “Twelve,” they replied.
      20 “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” They answered, “Seven.”
      21 He said to them, “Do you still not understand?” Where is the mention of fish He supposedly broken up too. In the original Gospel where the New Testament is referenced from, Gospel of the Nazarenes, it was bread and melons, and fruits. They removed that in the first versions of the Bybaal, sorry, bible.

      Concerning Balaam and the talking donkey.
      I don't think the original accounts were speaking about a talking donkey.
      According to ancients opinion about Balaam, he was considered as a non-Israelite soothsayer. According to modern textual criticism, about 90% of biblical scholars who support the "Documentary Hypothesis" (DH, google it), this portion of the tale is different from the Yahwist version of the story. In their opinion, the Yahwists deliberately assume that the donkey actually spoke, and that the whole episode was designed to mock Balaam. Evidently the Yahwists did not like the non-Jewish prophets (Balaam wasn't an Israelite), and their text is much harsher regarding Balaam than the Elohists' text.
      The paragraphs immediately preceding and following this episode seem to have an elohist matrix.
      This is the opinion of modern scholarship.

I think many people who believe want and try to have hope that they can see there families. Sometimes when I’m asked why I even bother trying to believe is because I want it to be true, wanting a peace and to see my parents again, it’s a hope. It only becomes an issue when we start becoming hypocritical and not projecting good thoughts onto other people and we start becoming rude people and not listening to other people and hearing their reasons as well.

      For example, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris walked onto the their high school campus, executed their classmates pointblank, then took their own lives. They hated life and hated peope. I ask you, as an atheist, why should they have not committed such a crime? The functional word is 'should.' There are no 'shoulds' in atheism! Yet, do not be deceived. There is good and evil, there is a day of reckoning, and no one gets away with any evil act.

You would not be fit for a place with perfect justice, but would wind up howling with the dogs outside the gate.

      Understand the common bible, was an infomercial for legalised murder and meat eating. For Rome had a huge economy for meat eating and killing of animals. The common bible that is so easily found in many different versions increasingly throughout the generations, was wholly amalgamated by Rome, by Constantine and his self elected council of Nicaea, who also changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. They stole from Authentic Hebrew sources, then referenced Gospel of the Nazarenes, which Yeshua whom they gave the name Jesus, had His happenings and sayings secretly recorded by His brother James the Just and mother Mary, amalgamated by John in prison. Made the New Testament, and burnt every copy available and killed many then, with one secret copy hidden in Tibet that was rediscovered in 1870’s by Friar Placidus, who translated it on his way back from Aramaic to Latin.
      Yeshua fed melons for example and bread in that Gospel to the thousand and cured their fever. Not fish. He stopped Judah from killing a lamb at the Last Supper, for He was the sacrificial lamb, for Moses in his error and rage allowed some of the Israelites to eat meat, that carried on for a few generations.
      So Yeshua was trying to bring about Isaiah 11: 6-9. Read that, and you will start to understand the common book, was an infomercial for legalised murder and meat eating. For Rome had a huge economy for meat eating and killing of animals. But in the beginning it was not so. The book, if you like to understand, had areas where it was allowed to be modified, For eg: When satan was allowed to negotiate Job's sufferings, so in some areas he wasn't able to influence the book makers at 325AD, because Heaven didn’t allow it. Like the saying goes, not one hair will drop from your head, if it wasn't allowed. So some books in the bible, was not allowed to be corrupted coming from Heaven, and so on earth it wasn't allowed. Another example, read Matt 5: 17 -20, then read Romans 10:4. Complete contradiction to one another's message. Paul is a fake apostle, the ultimate weapon of Rome against believers at the time.

    • @dealarr

      Evidence the New Testament is fictatious: “And in every case they discuss the bread but they don’t mention anything about fish. So I think that fish is a later addition. In fact, if you even look at the New Testament, it says, at another point, when Jesus is talking about the feeding of the five thousand, he says, ‘Don’t you remember when I fed the multitudes and all the bread that we took up?’ And he doesn’t mention the fish.
      The horse leg is also revealed (Horse leg is a saying to say a horse is pretending to be a human, but is exposed) in every version of the bible today:
      Matthew 16:9 New International Version Yeshua said: 9 Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? Where the fish at?
      Mark 8:16-21 New International Version 16 They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.”
      17 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened?
      18 Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember?
      19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” “Twelve,” they replied.
      20 “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” They answered, “Seven.”
      21 He said to them, “Do you still not understand?” Where is the mention of fish He supposedly broken up too. In the original Gospel where the New Testament is referenced from, Gospel of the Nazarenes, it was bread and melons, and fruits. They removed that in the first versions of the Bybaal, sorry, bible.

      It's funny seeing you losers bash the bible as if you go with science when you can't even make it past the first verse with God creating.
      Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space, and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We KNOW these laws. We have NO doubts about them. We also KNOW that the laws of nature can't come about without a Lawgiver, God.
      So if you want to pretend to be smart, please give me the laugh by giving your science how creation really happened by natural means. Also, throw in how we got the laws of nature, naturally.

      OMG! The story of my life growing up as a JW. All of the unbelievable parts of these biblical stories are explained away by God is all powerful and he can make even the impossible possible. When your born and raised in this religion that explanation works just fine until puberty. That's when all hell breaks loose, the scary part is the psychological pressures and changes you undergo can be very dangerous to mental development and your life in general. I considered suicide as a teen when my life long JW friends stopped associating with me. I became the bad guy when I grew my hair, went to my Prom and got a girlfriend. The religion is so restrictive it feels like everything is a sin including suicide so that wasn't an option. and yes college was frowned upon but we were told for a totally different reason. We were told the bad association with worldly people in college would ruin our useful habits. As an adult, debating with family and friends who are still believers I realize its about keeping you away from higher education. instead relying on a group at the top of the organization called "society" to tell you what to think. The internet has changed things though, having so much education at your finger tips its harder convince people to believe nonsense. I agree with you they pick and choose what science to believe. Over all they are good people. In many ways I think I learned to be a kind person and a good public speaker. But the detachment from reality and fact is astounding when your on the outside looking in and looking back at my mental infancy.

    Very interesting video! I think it brings up many fantastic points about history and such. though i have some issues with it. For one: does the bible ever say noahs flood was 4300 years ago? where exactly are you finding this information? I'd assume its using the young earths theory, but to be honest we dont really know if its 6,000 or 4.5 billion years. I think you relied on the 4300 year bit a little too much, when all you could lean on for this assertion is the family line of Bible figures. Also, in theory, if God was able to help Noah get every single animal or every representitive of animal on earth to his boat, then who is to say he couldnt help all of the animals stay alive, disperse, and rapidly repopulate after the end of the flood? Sure those parts were not added in, but did they need to? The point was that God judges man and restores the earth, not that "we have to prove these non believers thousands of years in the future wrong". (no offense of course) But those are just some thoughts of mine, a very thought provoking argument you made there.

    Catholics read scripture differently. What the author intends to assert is not always what we read. We believe in inerrancy, but not in literalism. In other words, the original texts are inerrant, and translations participate in that inerrancy, but it is possible that we do not know what we are reading or how to read it. St. Augustine says, "If in these books I meet with anything which seems contrary to truth, I will have no doubt that it is only the manuscript which is faulty, or the translator who has not hit the sense, or my own failure to understand" (Letter 82).

      Not a JW, but a Christian.
      1. A local flood dosnt make narrative sense for many reasons ill give one example.
      A. If it were local, just have the animals move.
      B. Many local floods happened in Bible days that would have nullified gods promise, Moses knew nile after all.
      C. A local flood could not cover the mountains of Ararat or any mountain.
      D. A local flood would not have solved gods problem of a sullied bloodline of mankind and fallen angels, Noah was "perfect" in his genealogy after all. Read: no hybrid demigods (nephlahim)
      2. No proof of global flood?
      A. Polystrate tree fossils across the US continent link the entire geologic column to one event. Not only do we see them, but thanks to st Helen's explosion we know how they are formed, floods.
      B. Sediment does not lay down in stratagraphic layers, but diagonal to it. This observable reproducible phenomenon nullifies all current dating methods
      C. The mass of sea diatoms that make the huge chalk formations with fossils buried show not only that it was formed quickly, but also they were shunted together over a massive distance
      D. The Bible say the water of the flood came from BELOW GROUND, that the earth "cleaved" open. We can see this from the trench that encircles the earth under the oceans.
      E. Any gradeschooler can look at at the Atlantic Ocean and see the continents fit together in some pangia like formation, but nobody points out that you can actually do the same with the pacific side following the cracks under the ocean. You either have to assume the earth grew, or that intercontinental crust deflated, but as the radiating magnetic lines from the trench are contemporaries on both sides of the world, pangia is geometrically impossible -the lines would be marred.
      F. Coal layers on the geologic column join, this is consistent with an ebbing and flowing on continental sediment, but not possible with deep time laying of sedimentary layers. The geologic column was made in a short period of time.
      3. Biology
      A. God says animals are created after their own Kind, this is not the same as species. Any species that has a gradation of being able to breed would be a "kind"
      B. Evolution is not true but adaptation CAN happen very fast. Look at the common pig/razorback, the stickleback fish, dog breeds. The difference between adaptation and Evolution is:
      Adaptation comes from preexisting data inherent to the creature. Dna has a libarerary of Millions of dormant situational modifications. This is not Evolution, its inbuilt design from the start.
      Evolution required deep time and mutation to create new structures.
      C. Do not conflate natural selection with Evolution. Evolution NEEDS natural selection, but not the other way around. N.s. is scientifically observable and a subtractive process, not a generative one.
      There so much more but the Bible is true. There was a time (1880's) Nineveh was though to be a fictional city, Israel was though to have a fictional dynasty, a prophetic chapter of iseah was though to have been added post jesus, dragons were thought to not be real. But then all of them eventually get unburied and the Bible is vindicated.
      Sorry about your turtle, don't go back to JW, but do trust in Jesus.

Also saying DNA has all these possibilities already is true, but it isn't exactly true either. DNA is a blueprint, a strand of DNA only hold the info of that single strand and nothing more. It doesn't have everything preencoded, for it it did then every single member of the species would just be the same. DNA changes and the blueprint itself changes. Even when I was Christian I understood this. DNA doesn't hold anything it isn't using, and making the argument that it can be those other traits due to it having the same building blocks, the different protein blocks, is about the same as saying all atoms are preencoded with everything already due to them being made with the same tiny bits.

      @@JoyRaptor I cant argue with a person who cant take evidence from one person, so here is some major events/stories that might make you rethink your “we are alone in the universe” opinion.
      1: Here is an article from a major news station:

      But has modern science, from the beginning of the 20th century, proved that there is no God, as some commentators now claim? Science is an amazing, wonderful undertaking: it teaches us about life, the world and the universe. But it has not revealed to us why the universe came into existence nor what preceded its birth in the Big Bang. Biological evolution has not brought us the slightest understanding of how the first living organisms emerged from inanimate matter on this planet and how the advanced eukaryotic cells-the highly structured building blocks of advanced life forms-ever emerged from simpler organisms. Neither does it explain one of the greatest mysteries of science: how did consciousness arise in living things? Where do symbolic thinking and self-awareness come from? What is it that allows humans to understand the mysteries of biology, physics, mathematics, engineering and medicine? And what enables us to create great works of art, music, architecture and literature? Science is nowhere near to explaining these deep mysteries.
      But much more important than these conundrums is the persistent question of the fine-tuning of the parameters of the universe: Why is our universe so precisely tailor-made for the emergence of life? This question has never been answered satisfactorily, and I believe that it will never find a scientific solution. For the deeper we delve into the mysteries of physics and cosmology, the more the universe appears to be intricate and incredibly complex. To explain the quantum-mechanical behavior of even one tiny particle requires pages and pages of extremely advanced mathematics. Why are even the tiniest particles of matter so unbelievably complicated? It appears that there is a vast, hidden “wisdom,” or structure, or knotty blueprint for even the most simple-looking element of nature. And the situation becomes much more daunting as we expand our view to the entire cosmos.
      We know that 13.7 billion years ago, a gargantuan burst of energy, whose nature and source are completely unknown to us and not in the least understood by science, initiated the creation of our universe. Then suddenly, as if by magic, the “God particle”-the Higgs boson discovered two years ago inside CERN’s powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider-came into being and miraculously gave the universe its mass. Why did this happen? The mass constituted elementary particles-the quarks and the electron-whose weights and electrical charges had to fall within immeasurably tight bounds for what would happen next. For from within the primeval soup of elementary particles that constituted the young universe, again as if by a magic hand, all the quarks suddenly bunched in threes to form protons and neutrons, their electrical charges set precisely to the exact level needed to attract and capture the electrons, which then began to circle nuclei made of the protons and neutrons. All of the masses, charges and forces of interaction in the universe had to be in just the precisely needed amounts so that early light atoms could form. Larger ones would then be cooked in nuclear fires inside stars, giving us carbon, iron, nitrogen, oxygen and all the other elements that are so essential for life to emerge. And eventually, the highly complicated double-helix molecule, the life-propagating DNA, would be formed.
      Why did everything we need in order to exist come into being? How was all of this possible without some latent outside power to orchestrate the precise dance of elementary particles required for the creation of all the essentials of life? The great British mathematician Roger Penrose has calculated-based on only one of the hundreds of parameters of the physical universe-that the probability of the emergence of a life-giving cosmos was 1 divided by 10, raised to the power 10, and again raised to the power of 123. This is a number as close to zero as anyone has ever imagined. (The probability is much, much smaller than that of winning the Mega Millions jackpot for more days than the universe has been in existence.)
      The scientific atheists have scrambled to explain this troubling mystery by suggesting the existence of a multiverse-an infinite set of universes, each with its own parameters. In some universes, the conditions are wrong for life; however, by the sheer size of this putative multiverse, there must be a universe where everything is right. But if it takes an immense power of nature to create one universe, then how much more powerful would that force have to be in order to create infinitely many universes? So the purely hypothetical multiverse does not solve the problem of God. The incredible fine-tuning of the universe presents the most powerful argument for the existence of an immanent creative entity we may well call God. Lacking convincing scientific evidence to the contrary, such a power may be necessary to force all the parameters we need for our existence-cosmological, physical, chemical, biological and cognitive-to be what they are.
      Science and religion are two sides of the same deep human impulse to understand the world, to know our place in it, and to marvel at the wonder of life and the infinite cosmos we are surrounded by. Let’s keep them that way, and not let one attempt to usurp the role of the other.
      If you read all of that, congrats, now time for the miracle stories:
      1:
      He said in 2017: “I woke up in the morning took my car in and commuted from New Jersey.
      “I got to the building and took the elevator all the way to the top - 47 storeys - and then climb onto the platform.
      Alcides Moreno
      Alcides Moreno fell from the 47th floor of the Solow Tower building
      Alcides Moreno
      Alcides Moreno is what doctors called a "miracle"
      I think God saved me, but I want to ask him ‘why me? What happened? Why?’ Maybe it was a second chance to keep going
      Alcides Moreno
      “I just grabbed the scaffold and held on until another cable snapped.”
      Mr Moreno then plunged 472ft, surviving only thanks to the platform he was working on getting lodged against a neighbouring building.
      He added: “The paramedics, they found me right in the middle, the scaffold snapped in half and was lodged between the two buildings.
      “It was right in the middle, they picked me up from there and took me to the hospital.
      “I didn’t wake up from a coma until December 24, right there in the bed and my wife was there.
      “I was [eventually] able to walk and everything, the doctor told me ‘you are a miracle’”.
      Alcides Moreno
      Mr Moreno's cable snapped whilewashing the windows
      The platform
      The platform plunged almost 500ft
      During the incident, Mr Moreno broke 10 bones, his lungs collapsed and he needed 43 pints of blood and plasma.
      Only half the people who fall from three storeys survive and from ten storeys almost no one does.
      However, Mr Moreno is not convinced what happened was a miracle, as his brother - Edgar - who was on the platform with him, did not survive.
      He continued: “I still don’t know [what I think happened].
      “My brother is a big loss, we were really, really close.
      “I think God saved me, but I want to ask him ‘why me? What happened? Why?’ Maybe it was a second chance to keep going.
      “I am looking forward to finding out why.”
      An investigation into the accident found that the scaffolding had not been properly maintained and that new motorised cables, which attached the window washing platform to the building, had not been properly anchored to the roof.
      So explain to me how this is possible? I know you can’t, and this is solid enough evidence that there is a higher power in control, even if you dont like it!
      Now, we have to talk about the bible, in exodus it explains how moses and the Israelites went to mount sinai, but they recently discovered that the mountain was in saudi arabia, they found charred mountain top (where God came down) and they found pieces of an alter (when they created the cow since moses hadn’t come down in ages) I know you will try to come up with some sort of argument, but you cant because I just proved you wrong AGAIN,
      Then we have the whole moral aspect to talk about, if God isn’t real what makes killing someone wrong? because at the end of the day we all die, so why is killing 6 million people wrong? Unless you will get judged in the future for your actions, which proves the existence of God.
      This is alot of things to take in, and I hope this helps you actually understand there is more to the world then we are here then die.

      Debates about religion are unwinnable. Saying that one legend from the time of Gilgamesh is not literally true, does not destroy the Bible at all, except for die-hard Fundamentalists. We will not go to Heaven or Hell depending on whether we assert that the story of Noah is literally true. That is only an excuse to ignore all the rest of the Book. The authors millennia ago did not have the knowledge or research techniques that we have today. @Michael Flynn: Pilate's question: "What is truth?" becomes very relevant here. It was apparently a topic of discussion among philosophers of his time. The logic St Paul uses seems odd nowadays, but that is because it was written before the Renaissance, when Aristotle's methods became the norm. Those who believe that what they cannot personally experience or understand is therefore not true, use one of many definitions.

    The timeline of the flood cannot be known with certainty. When the bible recorded names of people the sole purpose was to establish the lineage of the future messiah, not necessarily to give a chronology of geological columns. The steep cut of the Grand Canyon with multiple layers of relatively soft rocks exposed for 5000ft in height is an indication that something drastic and powerful did happen quickly. I just visited the Aswan area of Egypt recently and we saw a very significant temple with water marks up to half of it height. I asked the tour guide whether they had moved the temple up to the higher ground as they had done to Abu Simbel, the answer was No. It is standing on original ground but in the past the Nile River water elevation could go up 65m at times.

      It's not completely parable. It's just been translated to reflect the stupidity of the Catholic church. It never says it was a global flood in the Hebrew. Words translated as mountains mean hills. The "whole world" just means the world at large. It's the same phrase used to describe the famine in Egypt and the locust plague. The flood only effected the fertile crescent valley and its target was the chosen Adam lineage that received the "breath of life". Not all mankind. There is Genesis 1 Adam, all mankind created by the elohim, and there is Genesis 2 Adam, a special lineage made special by Yehowah. And Genesis 4, which is a particular man. Christ's birth is compared to the Genesis 2 Adam meaning Genesis 2 Adam had a mother and a father template. These are the ones given the breath of life and hence having the very long lifetimes. Cain and Seth went on to marry woman from the rest of humanity. Just like Noah's sons. The blood was diluted and their lifespans shrunk over generations. Now you can still call it mythology, but the myth is not being properly represented by the masses. There is parallel in the Sumerian myths (the place Abraham came from) and with the discovery of the Burkle crater impact it's very possible this flood did occur around 4800kya. The duration of it does sound exaggerated though.

    for me the big problem is what did the animals eat once they got off the Ark , all vegetation has been drowned and rotted sothe herbivores had no food, the carnivores had a very limited diet also as once they had eaten the herbivores they too would starve, as they would not have been able to wait till the herbivores had bred up enough to support feeding the carnivores especially since they themselves have no food to keep them alive long enough to reproduce, and what did Noah and his growing family eat they woldnt have time to grow and breed vegetables, if they ate meat then they would be competing with the carnivores, so when i think about it the only animals thay might have had a chance (for a little while) would be the carrion eaters the vultures, but they too would die out also once the other animals all died and decomposed

    The story of "Shiva brought his son back to life" (time stamp 2:00 or so) is not from the "Vedas". The "Vedas" are not the equivalent of the Bible or the Quran. Hinduism is not a religion in the sense that Abrahamic faiths are. People loosely use the terms "god" and "religion" to refer the "gods" of the Dharmic faiths (Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism) but that is not correct. This distinction is worth keeping in mind.

    If you view Biblical literature as just that, as a library of various literary forms compiled and redacted over Centuries encompassing myth, legend, poetry, tribal law and histories, wisdom literature , etc. then like all good literature it's concerned, in often allegorical or metaphorical terms, with the universal themes of the Human experience from the point of view of its authors situated in a particular historical or cultural setting. In this sense, it can be no more "proved or disproved" than Shakespeare. The problem with the modern world is the assumption that either something is fact or non-fact, rather than seeing truth as meaning found in experience. As Joseph Campbell once said, "The greatest truths are those that lay beyond language".
