Quote HistoryQuoted:
Interesting fact, of all the flood stories, from Gilgamesh et al, the one in the Bible is the only one that has a plan for a boat that would actually float. One of the Sumerian stories has a guy use the lumber from his house go towards the construction of the boat. He only took his livestock and his family on the boat, and the flood only covered the valley he lived in. |

Swear to God, one walked into the beer distributor this past Monday an ordered a case of Zima. Just about lost it when the (very nice) Indian gentleman at the register kept saying, "thank you Sir"

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Somewhere around Gibraltar it will be boarded by "refugees," who will shit all over everything, rape the animals, and convert it to a Mosque. Then it will catch on fire, capsize, and sink. The owner will be sued for all his money by over 9000 more "refugees" claiming to be next of kin to the dead refugees. The owner will lose his entire fortune between paying the lawyers and the gibs me dat crowd. He will die penniless and alone in a migrant slum where he is spat on daily for being an "infidel." The left will cheer this victory over "white privilege." THE END. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Funny, but I'm sort of cereal. Think of the finches on Galapagos. They're all finches. When they get different enough, they are classified as a separate species, but really they are all of the kind "finch". Noah didn't have to take 37 different species of wolf, and 87 species of equine. Just a couple. Not even a strict creationist would argue against speciation over time. Well, maybe Ken Hamm, but he thinks God is a lying illusionist. And a lot of species obviously didn't need an ark. Ants, for example and fish, frogs. Snakes. Et al. So far all of the speciation observed has been a loss of information, not inclusion of a random beneficial mutation. That concept is hypothesized ex post facto, never observed. |

Since different animals need specific diets you had to store a shit load of food.

Cool
Wish i had the means ($$$) to go help him finish constructing it, even as a laborer only! I also wish i had the means ($$$) to provide one of the tugboats he needs.
Or.....maybe just the means ($$$) to be along the way somewhere, preferably Israel, to see it with me own eyes 
Anyone care to sponsor me? I will wear an AR15.COM t-shirt for maximum camera ex-poser and tell the interviewers me screen name is subnet (lol). |

They can and do. The continents are drifting even now. Measurably. As in they literally measure the drift of the continents now, since the invention of GPS satellites. But even for a long time before that, there was a ton of geological evidence that was best explained by it. |

1. Because the way genetics work you could not repopulate a species with just two individuals
2. Something happened long ago to create an ancestral memory of a great flood 3. The Bible story is teaching a morality lesson, it's not a history lesson. 4. The idiot in the story and too much bloody money...
