Noah´s ark confirmed thorugh Greek and Sumerian legends.   

And the best of all? Fall of man due to introduction of evil seems to be part of every other culture´s belief.

1) You put a wrong date on the Ark, and claimed it was based on an earlier story. According to the Biblical and Islamic dates, it happened before the Sumerians, and the fact that 3 other civilizations mention the Flood (Egyptian, Greek and Sumerian) shows pretty much that the flood happened, and science hasnt been able to porve otherwise?

If its untrue, then why do 6 different cultures talk about it, and mention the ark?

2) Misleading? Like the "historian´s date" that was off by 10,000 years ?

3) Baseless? The fall of man due to evil exists in many civilizations, just like the Bible and Q´ran say it.

The Sumerians have it-

The Africans have it (sorry, you´ll have to check the book out)

The Mayans had it

Heck, google up "fall fo man" and evil, - bible and Q´ran and you´ll have countless mythologies saying the same thing as the Bible.

So now who am I to disconsider the beliefs of countless people, civilization after civilization saying their version of THE SAME story I believe in? I cant say its 100% true, but unless scinetist can say every one was worng, and PROVE it, dismissing them is just as baseless on science as is accepting them.

The Sumerian Ziusudra which I had you Google did not exist before the Sumerians the tale is a Sumerian legend. The Sumerian legend is a Parable; it was adopted by the Babylonians that passed it down to the Israelites about 3000 years after the legend was written in Sumer.

The Judaic Genesis tale was written after Berossus "Babylonia" which was where the Israelites got the information from.

The people that worshipped the Judaic God prior to 1000 BCE were the Shasu.

There was no sin in he Sumerian tale; sin in the Judaic legends came from the "Sons of God" read Gen:6 and the books of Enoch.

Imagination was what the Israelites employed when they rewrote the Babylonian and Egyptian tales.

Imagination was also what was employed by Mohammed when he rewrote the Judaic fable a few hundred years after that again.

There is no honor in misleading people; don't make up stories which never happened around old fables and parables. Such alteration does not prove the existence of any God.

Well, again, I said unless scientists prove that the flood isnt a scientific fact.

Because my faith has been made stronger by knowing that the story Ive heard has been backed up, although told differently (but then even things like the sun and the reath have been described differently thorught history), but however I am willing to say that I could be 100% wrong.

BTW as I said in another thread, the existence of God is a gery area. None can prove he exists, none can prove he doesnt. I say he exists due to faith, which is not an arguement for his validity, but a personal opinion, so my apologies if that seemed unclear to you the first time I said it.

Julio; I would like to apologize for I know how wonderful it would be if you were correct so I don't blame you for writing what you did. I know you have no interest in misleading anyone; OK?

Now here is a link to what scholars say about Genesis and Exodus. These are the scholars that make it their life's quest to study all ancient literature. The site is Eisenbraun's; they publish only material pertaining to the ancient near east and everything is of a scholarly nature.

The book "Berossus and Genesis, Exodus and Manetho" is not even published yet, it will be available soon at the introductory prize which may seems high but these are scholarly books intended for scholars.

I have read much of the material from the book because of a group which I belong to where Russel Gmirkin, the author is also a member. There is no need to get mad, that which is true is what we all desire to know, I trust we are all big enough to understand there may be a difference between what is true and what our wishes are.

The book is published but already out of stock. The link is correct but has to be copied and pasted to work because of the "s".

Added "Berossus and Genesis, Exodus and Manetho" to my Opera net watchlist, If it appears on amazon, Ill get informed of it.

And dont worry mate, faith to me not = fact, but something I believe in, otherwise I wouldnt have changed religion so often.

I have faith that the story is true, and accept the legends by other civilizations as signs confirming it having happened, but I wouldnt say its a proven fact.
