This is about the Flood and at least some compelling evidence that it was global and over 30k feet deep
First off here is one of the more scientific commonly accepted theories of how the flood happened and it explains several other things I'll point out along the way with italics. at first it does seem a little far fetched but so does creation AND evolution (and scientology which no one loves) :cold:
ICE ATMOSPHERE THEORY: In the bible in Genesis 7:10 and 11 it says
"And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the
great deep broken up, and the
windows of heaven were opened." now here is one of the main questions : if the flood is global and deep enough to cover arafat (the mountain the ark came to rest on) that would be far too much water to have in circulation. so where did it come from?
The theory is that Pre flood there was a Layer of ice that surrounded the earth this sounds way worse than it actually would be: it would actually help a great deal it would keep out a good deal of harmful radiation keep the temperature of the earth regulated, condense the oxygen so that things would grow much bigger and live much longer
"Genesis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. " this also explains how after the flood happened, the unusually long lives documented in the bible dropped off really sharply.
any way a meteor came and hit the layer of ice causing it all to melt aind rain in the atmosphere for 40days
"Frozen mammoths and Mammoth bones are found in large numbers in Siberia, Alaska, and Northern Europe. Some of these were in such good preservation that Eskimos would feed their dogs meat from them when they became exposed due to melting ice and snow: that is, if wolves didn't get their first. For those who want to know more see: grahamkendall.net/Unsorted_files-2/A312-Frozen_Mammoths.txt[/url] " i add this because in several cases the mammoths have been found with intact plants in them which unless the mammoth was frozen in under a minute would have began to dissolve only temperatures from space can do this.
The flood ended and the oxygen content was sharply reduced and the few dinosaurs that lived on land and Noah had saved died because of the size of their noses and lungs in proportion to their body. the ones in the water may have lived giving us most modern legends like the Locke Ness monster or "Pleiasour"
Here is some back up evidence:
Two American oceanographic vessels pulled from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico several long, slender cores of sediment. Included in them were the shells of tiny one-celled planktonic organisms called foraminifera. While living on the surface, these organisms lock into their shells a chemical record of the temperature and salinity of the water. When they reproduce, the shells are discarded and drop to the bottom. A cross-section of that bottom ... carries a record of climates that may go back more than 100 million years. Every inch of core may represent as much as 1000 years of the earth's past.
The cores were analyzed in two separate investigations, by Cesare Emiliani of the University of Miami, and James Kennett of the University of Rhode Island and Nicholas Shackleton of Cambridge University. Both analyses indicated a dramatic change in salinity, providing compelling evidence of a vast flood of fresh water into the Gulf of Mexico. Using radiocarbon, geochemist Jerry Stripp of the University of Miami dated the flood at about 11,600 years ago. To Emiliani, all the questions and arguments are minor beside the single fact that a vast amount of fresh melt water poured into the Gulf of Mexico. 'We know this,' he says, 'because the oxygen isotope ratios of the foraminifera shells show a marked temporary decrease in the salinity of the waters of the Gulf of Mexico. It clearly shows that there was a major period of flooding from 12,000 to 10,000 years ago... There was no question that there was a flood and there is no question that it was a universal flood.
Emiliani's findings are corroborated by geologists Kennett and Shackleton, who concluded that there was a 'massive inpouring of glacial melt water into the Gulf of Mexico via the Mississippi River system. At the time of maximum inpouring of this water, surface salinities were... reduced by about ten percent.
last thought: Most likely those people in all those countries who have those legends about the flood got there the same way evolution says they got there: they moved, on either boats or by walking.
Thank you for listening,
feel free to criticize any of this as long as you can actually point out any fallacies I might not have noticed and not just refuse to accept any of this as true because "its bull" or you don't want it to be.
PS: I'm not the best with personal skills so if anything i said came off as condemning or spiteful; i'm sorry and could you point that pout too so i will be able to not make the mistakes in the future?
