    Seashells on Mt. Everest, and in the lower 48 states, Mt. Whitney, among others. Geology, not mythology has a logical explanation with continental drift. Isn’t it intersting how quickly Cane and Noah’s family found people, not to mention animals and plant life, all over the place?

    If all the land had been covered with water, wouldn’t their living space have only gone up by somewhere between a third and a half?

    The Black Sea is probably the source of the legend….At some point the Mediterranean Sea broke through to the Black Sea. It added 600 feet of water, on top of what was already there. That’s why there is 600 ft. of salt water on top of fresh water in the Black Sea…(They’ve found the old shoreline and the old beaches about 600 ft. down). ……It would have flooded a huge area north of the Black Sea…Hundreds of thousands of square miles….It could have happened quite quickly. Who knows how fast? It would happen… I’m sure it would have been talked about for years….

    I’ve always like the name Mediterranean Sea….Literally “Middle Earth Sea” When it was named, it was the center of the world….It’s where most of our knowledge and civilization have came from……

    Don’t remember much discussion of sea life. Wonder if that was because that was the only group that would not be harmed by the rise.

    I can’t even catch my cat when it gets away. I’d love to see Noah coaxing 2 rhinos onto the ark.

    My mother believed that Noah had dinosaurs on the ark, too, since the Bible said he had two of everything.She also believed Rock Hudson was straight, and “Jeopardy” was fixed.

    Why did the all powerful creator of the universe and all you see need to have a human build a boat for him? He couldn’t just pop one into existence like he did everything else?

    There is evidence of a large flood around 4000 years ago that certainly covered all of Noah’s world, (all he knew about). The discrepancy results from the fact that we know the world is much bigger than he imagined.

    Plus, the fish and other sea life suddenly were presented with far more food than they could possibly eat, leading to all kinds of decay and disease. (I’m far too polite to mention that all that fresh rainwater at once would’ve screwed up the salinity levels of the ocean, leading to problems……)

    Simply back to the ’toon, Marine mammals are in serious trouble because of the terrestrial mammals with no respect for their own part of the world, let alone the oceans, so the whale has a very valid point. He just needs a few narwhal buddies to help take care of the arks, and non-swimmers.

    I wasn’t there, but I suspect they swam in the oceans and ate the fish. Or, they bought condos.

    pcoli, our knowledge of the Orient came to us through Europe and the Middle East….Columbus brought back his knowledge of China back to the Mediterranean Sea area….Alexander’s Library was on the shore of the Mediterranean …..I wasn’t talking about teachings as much as pointing how we found out about them, almost all our knowledge came through the cultures at the “center of the Earth”…..

    pcolli, isn’t it all? How did we get spices again? When Europeans were slaughtering Arabs in the “Holy Land”, just before they were killed, they all said "We got it from far away Asia….. India, and (Gasp) China….And with their dying breath the said “Don’t forget to bring salt…It’s worth it’s weight in gold!”……

    Say What? Premium Member over 8 years ago

    I look to science to learn proven fact about something happening in nature, knowing it can be disproven with evidence to the contrary. I look to the Bible to learn about trust in a world that is apparently in short supply of it, knowing it is meant for teaching morals and not for literal interpretation. I’m sure some closet theologian will say I’m wrong.

    So you mean there were a few species that were not on the Ark?
