    Why would gods use cultural diffusion?

    The only answer that makes sense to me is that a god had nothing to do with it. Humans used the only method of communication available at the time, verbally repeating stories they have been told by their ancestors. As writing developed, some stories began to get written down. Its obvious that...

    Your Suffering

    Good question Deeje. I carry a Garmin InReach GPS, with an SOS button. A little bit of an upgrade from a normal EPIRB beacon. It allows for satellite based text communication (the wife insisted). It has coverage just about anywhere in the world, even the bottom of the Grand Canyon. The SOS...

    How does the Epic of Gilgamesh discredit the story of Noah’s flood?

    When you became an expert in geology, with an emphasis on measuring river erosion debris, where did you determine the eroded debris went? Since you calculated only 1% of the total weight of eroded sandstone is accounted for at the end of the CO river, where has the rest of the debris gone?

    How does the Epic of Gilgamesh discredit the story of Noah’s flood?

    Exactly. I had this same discussion with a buddy who has owned his own A/C business for almost 30 years. His livelihood depends on his ability to understand and repair A/C systems, since he is successful at it, he is at least good at it...if not an expert (if he didn't know how to correctly...

    Your Suffering

    I have recently discovered long distance hiking; spending many days alone in the wilderness, climbing up and down mountains, covering hundreds of miles, surviving on whatever I can carry on my back. At times, this self imposed suffering (try walking 20 miles with shin splints) can be nearly...

    How does the Epic of Gilgamesh discredit the story of Noah’s flood?

    No Delta material anywhere? Do you not have access to satellite images of what is at the end of the Colorado River? What do you call this?

    Can a marriage survive being "unequally yoked"?

    2 Corinthians 6:14 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? As a Christian, I was convinced that anyone who did not believe what we believed was wrong and in "darkness" and I...

    Has anyone tried the religious belief consistency test?

    This is how to feel better about yourself after failing a test you think you are too smart to take.

    Has anyone tried the religious belief consistency test?

    I also scored 100%, which made me feel pretty good about myself when I read that 100% of scores are worse than mine! However, since so many also scored the same, that victory is tarnished.

    I accept your resignation from the conversation. Cheers.

    How does the Epic of Gilgamesh discredit the story of Noah’s flood?

    What claim am I making? The point I have made is that the Noah's Ark story did not happen at all. To me it is meaningless to dig deep into the timeline research to see which version was borrowed from earlier flood narratives - as a method of deciding which version is more likely to be true or...

    How does the Epic of Gilgamesh discredit the story of Noah’s flood?

    Read Blue2's post directly above your question for a good explanation of the timeline. The validity of the story has nothing to do with who wrote down the story first, though it appears the Epic was told well before Noah and his family lived.

    Sure does.

    How does the Epic of Gilgamesh discredit the story of Noah’s flood?

    Sure, I understand the point of the OP. I don't think my opinion is irrelevant at all to this particular post. The question is did the bible authors borrow the flood narrative from an earlier story, like the Epic of Gilgamesh. The answer is probably yes, if the epic was told before the Genesis...

    Why do muslims think Bible is corrupted and Islamic texts are well preserved?

    Exact quotes? That is hilarious.
