little children who are taught this story in sunday school. They sell pop up books and coloring books and all types of toys. There is money to be made from this lie.

Adults are taught that there are different races of humans alive today.

Trillions of $$$ has been made off this lie.

... People still believe in this? :damn:

Sometimes, not most times - just some times, I love being in Western Europe where Atheists, or at least non-theists, are allowed to :stylin: over shyt like this.

If this is not to be taken literal, Why should other stuff in the bible be taken literal?:skip:

Most of the stuff in the bible wasn't written to be taken literally. Historically the bible wasn't taken literally. It's a fairly new concept to think of the bible as a literal word for word account if history.

the ark was a submersible and Noah did not take actual animals.
he took DNA samples just in case the flood was so bad that it did wipe out entire species.

for real.

:ohhh:


Also, look up the "svalbard global seed vault". They have copies of every plant on the planet locked away in the artic. Wont be long till we keep dna snips for every animal. Real noahs arc is on the way brehs.

Never really took this story serious. I mean, noah was a fukking drunk. He prolly made it all up and people rolled with it. I believe the people in the bible existed, but the tales are mostly allegories.

There's plenty of people who believe the whole world flooded, there's a ton of that ignorance on youtube. 15,000 animals is still impossible for 8 people to feed and clean up after. What about all the food they would eat? What about the feces? How are you going to stop animals from killing eachother?

According to scholars, there weren't 15,000 since that number is arrived at by trying to translate 'kind' into 'species'. The actual count of animals is less than 300 total. Leviticus and Deuteronomy list those animals deemed 'clean' and 'unclean' and those lists combined total about 30 animals.

The only ones trying to state that there was an extremely large amount of animals are Creationists who don't believe evolution to be a viable theory, and atheists who like to criticize everything in the Bible without bothering to research what it contains.

Both are missing the point of the narrative. :manny:
