8,000 species of termites survived the flood, implying that Noah had them on his wooden boat. Of course, Noah is an idiot.
From my understanding creationists do believe in evolution on a micro level. Meaning a species can evolve a little bit to fit a particular niche. They just don’t believe in evolution on a macro level, meaning like how the surviving dinosaurs evolved into birds as we know it today, or hippos and whales sharing a common ancestor.
So, basically a double think? It exists, but also doesn’t?
Yes. They focus on there being different prefixes as if that implies there is a different mechanism going on, rather than gradual changes pushing organisms to be more and more different over extremely long periods of time.
Well, I guess it really isn’t double think depending on how you wanna define double think. It’s more that they insist or misunderstand that macro evolution is not a different set of processes.
To who? Trump? Better the ark.
Biblical God being as jealous as He is about worshipping only
him,Him, burning the money as a sacrifice to Him could have changed His mind about sending the Flood. Only if everyone had joined in, of course. But I guess Noah was better at carpentry than persuasion.
The person who posted this was actually trying to sound smart, or is a parody of a moron trying to sound smart?
You say he’s an idiot, but at least he’s not as dumb as the carpenters who put their pay from working on the ark into their savings.
Plutocrats preparing for the apocalypse while staffing every town cryer job in the neighborhood with a guy who screams “Rain has always happened! Flooding is scientifically impossible! The people installing buoys on their homes over there are the reason you haven’t seen the sun in a week.”
From the looks of it he’s been creating jobs!
Don’t get me started on Job. That guy got divinely fucked.
Oh… not that Job.
The whole idea of Noah is insane. No boat could hold all land mammals.
Plus most would just consume each other during the storms. Noah was probably a boat maker that said he was going to build the biggest boat ever. Then got sidelined by cost and labor.
Then someone decided to make a story in his honor in an old book of fairy tales.
There is textual and historical evidence that Noah’s ark was adapted from the epic of Gilgamesh, which predates Noah’s ark by about 1000 years. So it doesn’t make sense because it’s plagiarized from a story that was never meant to be taken seriously.
Wikipedia briefly covers this on the page about Noah, and also talks about a story about Deucalion:
The story of Noah in the Pentateuch is similar to the flood narrative in the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh, composed around 1800 BC, where a hero builds an ark to survive a divinely sent flood. Scholars suggest that the biblical account was influenced by earlier Mesopotamian traditions, with notable parallels in plot elements and structure. Comparisons are also drawn between Noah and the Greek hero Deucalion, who, like Noah, is warned of a flood, builds an ark, and sends a bird to check on the flood’s aftermath.
