      The old testament is a historical narrative from Genesis to Malachi. The real issue is that we do not believe the bible because it is the issue of our own heart and minds being tainted with sin. Because we do wrongs that break God’s law the ten commandments, we will be judged for our sins and are sent to hell. But because God does not want people to go to hell, He chose to live on earth as a perfect man and died on the cross to take our punishment for us so we do nit have to so now if you repent and believe in Jesus as God and Savior and trust what He did for us without trusting in your own deeds or character, then you will be saved

    Actually, the original version of this archetypal Mesopotamian flood myth (Ziusudra Epic) was actually talking about a river flood that washed a barge out into the Persian Gulf where it drifted for a year. This particularly bad regional flooding of the Euphrates got embellished into this "global flood". This flood dates to 2900 B.C.E. the same dating for the Burkle Crater. So there is actually a strong connection between this crater and the original river flood that inspired Noah's Ark story. We know the comet's impact from 2900-2800 B.C.E left an 18-mile-wide and 2-mile-deep crater in the ocean floor in a deep part of the Indian Ocean, 12,000 feet below the surface of the water, which would have instantly vaporized over 10 cubic miles of water into the atmosphere which would cause it to downpour for weeks on end all over the world, which TECHNICALLY leads to worldwide flooding event, but not a mountain covering flood, or an extinction-level-event. The world was never covered with 30,000+ feet of water for over a year or any other amount of time. The atmospheric pressure in a scenario like that would skyrocket to something more reminiscent of Venus making our atmosphere inconducive to life. So we know the biblical flood never happened but it was a retelling of an ancient flood myth from the ancient Sumerian city/state of Shuruppak (hero: Ziusudra). The Ziusudra Epic contained many of the exact same phrases, storylines/elements, and timelines that were later transported into the biblical flood narrative just like it had been for the other 6 Mesopotamian flood myths. It is clear, with absolute certainty that the biblical flood borrowed heavily from these earlier flood myths, they pretty much just switched the ancient gods out for Yahweh

      The meteor is absolutely bonkers. While I wouldn't be surprised if it was based on one particular local flood in the Middle East, and I think I heard something about it being suggested as the inspiration for Noah's flood, a meteor striking the ocean isn't going to cause it to rain for a literal 40 days and literal 40 nights; It also isn't going to cause the waters to stay above the highest mountains for over a literal year.

    I have to agree slightly. I think there is evidence that a comet/meteor caused the ante-diluvian flood that the legends are based on but, it is my understanding that the meteor hit the North American ice sheet and it is supposed to be dated around 11,600BC and at that time the oceans rose nearly 400ft over a relatively short period of time.

    No need for a meteor, just unusually high rainfall in the mountains where the Tigris and Euphrates rise. These exotic rivers may have provided ideal conditions for early agriculture in Mesopotamia but they were prone to sudden and catastrophic changes in course, during which it must have seemed to the people lucky enough to survive these floods that the whole world was under water. As always when oral tradition was stronger than writing which hadn't developed much further than pictograms for priests to count donations of produce, tales grew in the telling and someone who'd managed to see his family to safety on a plank of wood became a hero in an ark.

    Forrest, the estimated tsunami flooding from the Burkle Crater Impact in the Southern Indian Ocean was, of course, not global but like many myths was likely greatly exaggerated and altered by word of mouth over the hundred generations or so before the Biblical fictional story was settled, like the Gilgamesh myth. The peoples there saw a massive flood that covered what they thought was their whole world, a fairly large region that is basically flat.They were people who rarely traveled more than about a half days trek from their home or village, thus it porbably seemed the the locals that it covered the land as far as the eye could see or the people could walk. Their whole world. There is evidence of flooding and wave sculpted hills in the topography reaching inland far enough to be from a tsunami induced flood. along the coasts of the Persian Gulf. It's worth checking out. There is a Wikipedia entry about it for starters. Am I convinced? Not completely as the gulf is at a slighlty oblique angle to the directional vector form the impact site which would weaken the power of the moving water, but it's interesting

I mean if you are a spam not only admit you don't believe in a spam of spam but also act on it meaning you don't care about spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam etc. Also you wouldn't care if you're spam or spam. When it comes down to spam spam doesn't have that yes there are spams that have their own spams but let's be honest spam is silent on what is spam or spam or spam meaning as a spam it's not spam or spam or spam if you donate spams to the spam or spit in a spam person's spam because they disgust you or say spam to someone you just met or punch in their spam because you find them repulsive or tell your spam you spam her or commit spam on a daily basis. I consider spam to be a form of spam and spam. Spam has no spams on spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam etc so yes spam/spam is spam and spam no spam. As for a spam it exists because of the spam of the spam is spam , spam and spam. The spam is spam it gets spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam , spam. the spam is spam. You are not your spam or your spam you're a spam spam your spam is your spam , spam , spam , spam etc. When a spam dies they can't spam or spam or spam of spam or spam or spam or anything like that why because their spam and spam is absent regardless of if you're spam or spam your spam and spam leaves after you spam either goes to spam or spam a spam you can't take a spam spam. There is One spam existing in three spams not three spams but like a way of spam or way of spam like this spam is not like spam like spam , spam , spam , spam , spam. Spam is someone we all have a spam with even many spams curse spam out as well as say oh my spam. Okay spam is spam lower case spam okay let me explain spam yes spam is a spam unseen to the spam everywhere at the same spam. Okay let's define what a spam is a spam in a spam spam is a spam capital spam. In some spams a spam lower case spam is a spam who is very spammed and spammed. Spam choose to spam his spam in the spam and spam a spam you see the spam why spam is spam but he was able to spam on the spam is because when a spam is in the spam it's spammed like this generally speaking spam can't spam but the spam can. When spam was on spam he did spam spams spammed the spam , spam out spams , spam the spam , spam the spam , spammed the spam , spam etc it wasn't his spam doing it. It was the spam of spam working in the spam doing it. Spam said i do nothing of my spam meaning it's not his spam and spam doing it. It's the spam of spam in him. You see spam is not spammed like we are spam doesn't need to spam or spam or spam or spam or spam or spam or spam or spam or use the spam so spam can do spams we can't do spam is not spammed by spam or spam like we are. It was the same spam that spammed the spam up from the spam to show the spam they can have spam in spam. The spam spam is the spam.

      People thought lightning was magic until science figured it out. And science didn't know how a rabbit can come out of an empty head. But now we know, so that's scientific. So when you say it's magic, you are saying that it's some future science.

    Funnily enough, Edmund Halley 1656-1742 suggested that a cometary impact might have flooded the Persian Gulf area.
    Pretty risqué thinking for those times, but smarter people were questioning the accepted wisdom.

    Flood apologists just can't handle the scales of energy required to cause a global flood. The meteor, rain, waters coming from underground, movements of the continents... all of these require an amount of energy that would have melted the land and boiled the oceans, or even vaporized the entire surface of the planet. For some reason they can't just say "God did magic and put water there, then he did magic so it's gone." You don't have to explain magic. It's magic. But they can't do that and I don't know why.

      If (IF) there has been no land or seas ice anywhere 5,000 years ago, mean sea level would have been about 50 metres higher than it is now. While that would be a bit of a problem for coastal areas, no tsunami could flood even 5% of the rest of the land or more than a day or so, let alone cover the entire planet for over a year.
      So I guess God just magicked it all, but decided to spin a yarn about 40 days and nights of rain (which would have been unheard of in Mesopotamia at the time, and then thrown in the waters below the Earth and above the firmament.
      I can see how some superstitious Bronze or Iron Age nomads might fall for that, but rational modern humans with even half a brain?

    I looked up this Burkle crater. In 2006 it was proposed to have been caused by an impact and the megatsunami it supposedly created (which apparently wasn't noticed by other civilizations and seems to have left no other evidence) was thought to have been the source of some unusual dune formations (the Chevron Dunes).
    However in 2009 this was argued against and the dunes were hypothesized to have been created by an aeolian (wind) process instead. From the little I looked up the idea of a megatsunami creating the dunes doesn't seem to be widely accepted among geologists and the "crater" might be something else besides evidence of impact event.
    Most of the references I found to it seem to be click-bait articles from news, pop-sci websites, and an blog about looking for Atlantis. So that's not great after almost 18 years.

    • @DaveGIS123

      The locaton of the Burkle Abyssal Impact Crater was identified by looking at the direction of chevron dunes in Australia and Madagascar. The chevrons would have been made by megatsunamis, but the Noah's Flood story talks about rain, not tidal waves.
      The impactor, when it struck the South Indian Ocean, would have blown huge volumes of water and steam into the atmosphere. This would have condensed and fallen back to earth as rain. So the world would have been inundated by rain, not a big wave --- the big wave would have only affected the South Indian Ocean basin and would not have reached the eastern Mediterranean or the Fertile Crescent.
      While a big splash from an impactor would not have made a wave big enough to flood the entire world, it is possible an impactor might have created a large quantity of rain which fell globally over an extended period of time, leading to the creation of stories that entered folklore around the world. So an impactor hitting an ocean some 7000-8000 years ago is consistent with parts of the Noah's Flood story.

    • @George89999
      @George89999 Місяць тому

      @DaveGIS123 The problem is that it's not certain that the dunes they used to find the "crater" were in fact created by such a tsunami. I was aware that the original team figured that something might be in that direction and kept going until they found the "crater" which might not even actually be an impact crater. But if a megatsunami didn't create the dunes then their entire premise was wrong. Apparently (from the little I've read in this debate so far) it's not uncommon in geology to keep following an assumed direction of an assumed event and eventually find something then make an incorrect conclusion that they're somehow connected, it's a version of the ad hoc ergo propter hoc fallacy.
      The other problem is that again there is no real evidence of either such a rain event either. So it's just another assumption based upon speculation. There's plenty of other reasons why many (but not all) cultures can have myths about floods without a global rain event. Is it technically possible? Sure, but without credible evidence for such an event and/or sufficient historical records supporting such a claimed event I see no reason to think that it actually happened.

    Guys just point them to Gutsick Gibbon channel, there are few videos reviewing the heat problem, from the Earth age following radioactive decay and the “meteoric” hypothesis of the flood, followed by orbital energy released by the meteorites. In both cases, the energy released would be enough to melt the Earth crust many times over.
