There are just way to many common points to the story reveal by so many around the world.

(Destruction by water. Divine cause. Warning given. Humans spared Animals spared. Preserved in a vessel.) The common aspects to this story has been presevered by the following people, and countries.

Australia-Kurnai, Bolivia-Chiriguano, Borneo-sea Dayak, Burma-Singpho, Canada-Cree, China-Lolo, Cuba-original natives, East Africa-Masai, Egypt-Book of the Dead, French Polynesia, Guyana-Macushi, Iceland-Eddas, India-Andamam Islands, India-Bhil, India-Kamar, Iran- Zend-Avesta, Italy-Ovid's Poetry, Mexico-Codex Chimalpopoca, New Zeland-Maori, Peru-Indians of Huarochiri, Russia-Vogul, Alaska-Tlingit,Arizona-Papago, Hawaii-legend of Nu-u, Vietnam-Bahnar, ect.

So do you believe that all these people in the past made up a story that involve a God warning mankind of a great flood, and when the flood came it was caused by divine intervention, and a vessel was constructed, and it was filled with animals, and a small company of humans only survived because the were kept safe in this large vessel? So your telling me all these people made this story up and kept it in their oral tradition, and just by chance it appears that all these people all over the earth pretty much made up the same story?
Funny how you like to use all these cultures to push a global flood idea, but you ignore the part about the gods of those cultures.

But what we arguing is a 450 ft boat carrying all the living breathing creatures in the world. That's a myth that you and alike believe. There are differences, you see.

you may need to read the story, its not every living creature in the world...

godspeed,

So you are saying all these flood myths are true? If that is the case then Noah and his family had lots of help repopulating the world.

By the way almost every culture has God myths as well, that doesn't make it true.

Clean animals... sheep, cows, certain birds etc... 7
Unclean animals... pigs, birds of prey, dogs, cats, etc... mating pair.

No sea life.

The point wasn't to get every creature, it was to supply for the area that they were to re populate.

In answer to the thousands of species... Do we really think that God can't make more animals any time He wishes. I think He makes new species all the time. He is a creator, why would He stop creating?

godspeed,

I'm confused, first of all clean/unclean animals, what does that mean???

Second, if you only populate areas with pigs, where did other animals come from?
I see, after Noah landed with limited amount of species, god started to create new ones? Is it in the wise book somewhere?

Well this is just Borneo...not sure how long they've been around but over 400 new one's have been discovered since 1996 and 52 more just last yr.
52 new species discovered on Borneo Island - Science

So do you think man could begin to keep up with all the new one's in the world?

godspeed,

Clean are the edible ones, unclean the ones we shouldn't eat.

I was just giving examples, it was not a complete list... ie Zebras, horses, giraffe, elephant, hippo....etc....

I don't know if anything in scripture points to replenishing the earth, but i think its pretty obvious He did, and continues to .

Cute fellas!!
