I don't know... I might get into trouble here, but I thought it would be an interesting topic with so many Biblical scholars on the forum... I have often wondered about many stories in the Bible, I have read and prayed and studied for most of my life off and on depending on my interest at the time, and there are a lot of interesting stories in the Bible some of which are quite difficult to wrap your head around. I thought this would be a good thread for people to post stories they don't understand and have the folks on the forum who are more Biblically astute explain things... For instance: The story of Noah and the Ark... Do you think that the entire world was flooded top to bottom? Like Kevin Costner in Waterworld? Or do you think it was a regional mass flooding like when the isthmus between Greece and Turkey was breached by the Mediterranean ocean flooding the Black Sea? Perhaps that area was the "known" world to those people at the time... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sea_deluge_hypothesis

Irish I don't know if the Flood story is true for sure but i do believe it, when you look at other civilizations and religions from around the world back then they all have a flood story so i would say it was world wide and caused by the last ice age melting off..

This is true. I believe it too. There are many stories of a flood from many different cultures. If these other cultures were also around for the flood, how did they survive? Wasn't Noah and his family the only ones? You see where this goes?

I believe every single word of what the Bible says. The inerrant and infallible word of God, written by man, inspired by God.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14

Wasn't Noah and his family the only ones? You see where this goes? Yes I see.... I don't think that the whole world was covered in water just that almost all civilizations were on the coasts around the world so when the glaciers melted and the water rose 300-400 feet and covered them up..

I believe the stories in the bible. I think it takes faith to believe the bible. Just like it takes faith to believe in Jesus. Just like it takes faith to believe in evolution. We all have a measure of faith and we choose where we apply it.

They are building a creation museum in OHIO. Currently open. They have a life size ARK and are working on many other biblical attractions. The people that own Hobby Lobby will be opening a bible museum in DC within the next few years. I thought it was in Kentucky

How did shark remains end up in Kansas? Explain dinosaurs! 999 trillion years old? How do we know that's right? God could have put every fossil here to make us question faith. He could have put the oil in the ground when he made the earth. It may not have been made by dead animals and plants. Everything is too perfect just to have happened by chance. The sun moon earth all in perfect rotation? Just by chance? Makes more sense it was created that way.

The races has always been a head scratcher on the flooding story.
And rounding up rattlesnakes and moccasins and copperheads and getting them on a boat. Devine intervention could help with the animals, but still doesn't explain races. Why couldn't the races have been Devine intervention?

Here is a joke for you
There is a group of genetic scientists and they tell God that, while they appreciate all the things he has done that they can create and mutate and cross-engineer all species now and they dont need him anymore. God sighs and says "Well lets have one last test" and with that he reaches down into the earth and grabs a handful of dirt and drops it onto the ground and POOF an entirely new animal appears. It is an animal like nothing before. The scientists smile at each other and one starts digging in the dirt and God replies "Stop, get your own dirt"
I always liked that joke. And something else, everything that science understands has a beginning and an end. If you believe in the big bang theory then what caused the initial expansion? And if there was nothing before, how did something get created out of nothing. If there was something there before the big bang, then what created that? And what created the thing that created that, and on, and on....
I guess the only explanation for the big bang theory is that God said BANG and everything was created.
I love my country, but don't trust my government.
