Hope is the greatest gift of Christianity to man. Hope for a better tomorrow. Hope to see lost loved ones again. Hope for salvation. Man needs hope. And all this arguing over Old Testament crap totally misses the point.

You can not be driven away from something that you never had.

Of the crazy stories told over the years.  Noah's Ark has to be one of the most ludicrous ones ever.  

So how did those kangaroos make it all the way to and from Australia and we have billions of species of animals on this planet.  Unless all the billions we have now all evolved since Noah's ark dropped them off on their respective continents like Santa drops off toys to kids houses every year.  

Insanity.....  If taken as anything beyond a myth.

The story of the flood is obviously, painfully, a morality tale. And it isn't even an original.

See it as a story to teach a point? Fine. Pushing for it to be taught a fact in science class? No. Hell no. This isn't Iran, and your religion has no place in science class.

Has anyone noticed that when some here go on about faith, if you were to apply that mentality to almost any other topic, even they would call it gullibility?

He didn't.

Noah's Ark is either complete parable, or is a story about one person in a localized flood.

A world wide flood is impossible.

If there had been one with a massive extinction taking out every living thing on earth except a few of them on a boat, there would be ample evidence of it.

There would have been no animals in the new world. (Unless it took place like 20,000 to 15,0000 years ago, which is impossible as the Earth is only ~6000 years old.).

Please PLEASE stop clinging to Jewish poetry like it is what happened literally.

Science is knowledge of GOD creation. Just because atheists ant anti theists try to Hijack Science and equate it as absent of GOD and that SCIENCE and GOD are separate. Sorry but a lot of what is being thrown out as science has nothing to do with science it is an attempt to try to discredit a belief in GOD.    

If a scientists comes out in and uses evidence to show How GOD is the creator he is immediately cast out of the "scientific" community. All science is is the understanding of GODS creation and the laws he put into place. The outright denial or ignoring of the creator shows that many so called scientists are not scientific at all but hacks. You get so many who make outlandish claims against the bible and later get proven wrong and all their supporters are like "well that means nothing" It is like a mental disorder.

  The ignorance here is striking.  
 

You don't know the first thing about science.


Well, then how does science, by experimentation and analysis come up with a certainty of absolutely no creator involved?
There is a huge rift in the scientific and political communities according to the findings of secular science through their method of accuracy.
Some findings with merit I suppose, and some findings which contain a high degree of junk science.
When science makes certain claims about certain people, the ones who are very bright, so they say mostly with a political sway, concerning who should be privileged, and who should not be as a matter of opportunity and even who should be sterilized or even euphemized, because of a genetic abnormality, then I say that science has overstepped its bounds and is science no longer.
It has become a very great evil in the earth.
There is a history of this in the world, as Darwin and his teachings have been used to present this gross fallacy to the world.
Examples: Communism under Joseph Stalin; a mass murderer of over 50,000,000 people. Nazi Socialism under another anti-Christian and Jewish mass murderer Adolph Hitler, 30,000,000 people.
One reportedly shook his fist in the air looking up on his death bed, and the other committed suicide giving orders shortly before his death, for his body to be incinerated by gasoline.
Go figure..

Yes - and there is ample evidence he used the natural laws He created to do so. He didn't need to use magic or what ever. The other option is he did just "poof" it all into existence and left the universe full of deceit and lies.

Ironically my faith is stronger because I can accept the evidence and observations of the natural world around me and still believe in God. Your ilk ignores everything and acts like their self delusion is faith.

That is not true for all of us. While the new testament has all kinds of problems (were written years after disciples had died, plagiarism, outright lies), the old testament is the word of God and I follow it to the letter. The only thing worth reading in the new is the path to salvation. The rest is mostly lies and fantasy.

Also the Black Sea flooded something fierce about the time Noah was around.

These are the family records of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among his contemporaries; Noah walked with God. And Noah fathered three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence (or sexual immorality, murder, theft, carousing, fighting, drunkenness, irresponsibility, and injustice). God saw how corrupt the earth was, for all flesh had corrupted its way on the earth. Then God said to Noah, "I have decided to put an end to all flesh, for the earth is filled with violence (or extreme injustice) because of them; therefore I am going to destroy them along with the earth (or destroy every living creature who I do not save [The LORD's Declaration].

" Make yourself an ark (or a large seafaring vessel) of gofer wood (unknown species of tree; perhaps pine or cypress). Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch (or hot tar to set) inside and outside (or to seal the shiplap inside and out). Now, this is how you are to make it: The ark will be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high (or 300 cubits long).

You are to make a roof (or window or hatch; Hb uncertain), finishing the sides of the ark to within 18 inches (Lit to a cubit) of the roof. You are to put a door in the side of the ark. Make it with lower, middle, and upper decks.

"Understand that I am bringing a deluge--------floodwaters on the earth to destroy all flesh under heaven with the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will die.

But I will establish My covenant with you, and you will enter that ark with your sons, your wife, and your son's wives. You are also to bring into the ark two of every living thing of all flesh, male and female, to keep them alive with you. Two of everything--------from birds according to their kinds, from the livestock according to their kinds, and from every animal that crawls on the ground according to its kind------will come to you so that you can keep them alive.

Take with you every kind of food that is eaten; gather it as food for you and for them."
And Noah did this.
He did everything that commanded him to do.

Genetics alone makes the flood story implausible as it was written.  What happens when people or animals inbreed?  You don't have enough genetic diversity with just two of a species or eight in the case of the people on the ark.

Even Jesus himself used parables as a teaching tool.

These are the family records of the descendants of Adam. On the day that God created man (or Adam), He (or God) made him in the likeness of God (or made him in the likeness of One: The Coming Savior; God in Man); He created them male and female.

He blessed them (or completed a purpose for them) and called them man.

Adam was 130 years old when he fathered a child in his likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth (or This One Replaces). Adam lived 800 years after the birth of Seth, and he fathered other sons and daughters.
So Adam's life lasted 930 years; then he died.

Now, Seth was 105 years old when he fathered Enosh. Seth lived 807 years after the birth of Enosh, and he fathered other sons and daughters. Seth's life lasted 912 years; then he died.

Enosh was 90 years old when he fathered Kenan. Enosh lived 815 years after the birth of Kenan, and he fathered other sons and daughters. So Enosh's life lasted 905 years; then he died.

Kenan was 70 years old when he fathered Mahalalel. Kenan lived 840 years after the birth of Mahalalel, and he fathered other sons and daughters. So Kenan's life lasted 910 years and then he died.

Mahalalel was 65 years old when he fathered Jared. Mahalalel lived 830 years after the birth of Jared, and he fathered other sons and daughters. So Mahalalel lasted 895 years; then he died.

Jared was 162 years old when he fathered Enoch. Jared lived 800 years after the birth of Enoch, and he fathered other sons and daughters. So Jared's life lasted 962 years; then he died.

Enoch was 65 years when he fathered Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and fathered other sons and daughters. So Enoch's live lasted 365 years. Enoch walked with God, and he was not there (or Enoch was not there because he was translated to the kingdom of God in the state of the still physical living), because God took him.

Methuselah was 187 years olds when he fathered Lamech. Methuselah lived 782 years after the birth of Lamech, and he fathered other sons and daughters. So Methuselah lasted 969 years; then he died (and was the oldest man who ever lived).

Lamech was 182 years old when he fathered a son. And he named him Noah, saying, "This one will bring us relief (The Hb word translated bring us relief sounds like the name of Noah) from the agonizing labor of our hands, caused by the ground that the LORD has cursed."
Lamech lived 595 years after Noah's birth, and he fathered other sons and daughters. So Lamech's life lasted 777 years; and then he died.

Noah was 500 years old when he fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Quite evidently you can, as people bash both Islam and Christianity on a daily basis here.  Judaism seems to be the protected one, to be pedantic, but otherwise these types of forums get too many visible "88ers," so I sympathize with that.

As the Bible clearly states that these things are just plain foolishness to some.
We have come to the express knowledge of expecting it.
