The Flood - Here we go again...

gary came with a nice thought, i think the flood was worl wide,it can happen without a ice melt or any other ice age etc, u can see that the sea covers over 70% of earth today, before flood there was only a continent its also stated in bible{genesis 1:9} and flood would be done by him ofcourse as u see in psalms 104:8 he raised the mountains and sank the valleys, if u see the oceans ,they are capable of making a worlwide flood if the worl is smoothened, but my doubt is that how he managed to save all the pair of animals in that ship as their is a chance to eat any of the animals by the other animals,

I believe it's scientifically impossible for a sea-faring vessel the size of the Ark to carry 2+ animals of every kind (including insects and freshwater fish) from all around the world, with enough food for everything, for 40 days and nights. I believe that the biblical flood may very well be based on a large flood, but it was definitely not a world-wide one. There's no scientific possibility, nor any archeological evidence to indicate there ever was.

A number of books, mythological as well as religious across varied geographies speak of a flood. Whether it was a planet wide phenomenon or one limited to large sections of continental masses is a matter of additional research as yet, though a number of specialists claim that the globe could have had sessions of global scale flooding a number of times over eons. opinions are divided, but the fact remains most religions major or localized, speak of floods with a Noah type figure as a hero. TheGreatWhiteBuffalo, FYI, even Hindu scriptures speak of a global flood, with one of the major deities - Vishnu taking the form of a fish - The Matsya Avatar helping a righteous king (a sort of Noah) save species on this planet. I think a lot of mythologies out of South America, Africa, the South Seas (just to name a few) also speak of flooding of the earth.

To add info for this topic.... Recently in Discovery Channels tackles about mysteries I don't the title of that show I think I watched it last month November 2008.... The topic they discussed "Is it Noah's flood did really happen?" then the host traveled to the land of Israel up to Cyprus to look some clues or artifacts or evidence.... Their scenerio about the flood is that, the flood of Noah is a tsunami.... So, they found in Cyprus a volcano that erupted and create a some large ground landslide or the ground suddenly slipped into the sea and create a catastrophic tidal waves or tsunami.... And the tsunami reach the shore of Israel where a named Noah lived there.... When the host of the show goes to Israel they found under the seabed of Israel some evidence or artifacts that there was a village submerged on the seabed.... At Israel they have found a cave I think where Noah lived or buried I think I'm not sure it.... So that's all what I seen on Discovery Channel but that's not complete actually there are more to it but I don't remember anymore sorry.... To my own personal information that I know, the best about this Great Flood of Noah mysteries is those with EDGAR CAYCE and with the stories about those lost civilizations for more than a thousands or millennium years... In Edgar Cayce (a great American psychic or the sleeping modern prophet) his talking about this Atlantist or Lemuria.... I still don't know the complete about that but I'm on making some knowledge or studies about this....

TheGreatWhiteBuffalo here some additional feeds about the Flood of Noah these are like those showed in Discovery Channel.....hence "tsunamis"..... Towering Ancient Tsunami Devastated the Mediterranean http://www.livescience.com/environment/061130_ancient_tsunami.html [i]The article was posted last November 30, 2006 In this article did not mentioned Noah's flood but Israel was on the article....[/i] Did Noah's Flood start in the Carmel? http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1228728130015&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull This theory was done by an atheist archeologist....

Through out the history of this planet it has seen multiple ice ages and multiple warming trends. The Earth has been even warmer than it is now and is a natural cycle, not a man made problem. The sun is in its warming cycle but will begin another cooling phase, we know this because Venus and mars is also getting warmer, and unless we have bases on these planets producing green house gasses, then it surly is NOT man made. If the earth continues to warm, the the seas will rise again, but some want you to believe this is bad if the ice melts in Greenland or Iceland, but think it would mean more land available for farming and better climates, those who live on the water though may want to sell and buy a little higher up lol.

I believe on the great flood and that it really happened ...and the ark was found in Mount Ararat (turkey)although its not been yet authenticated but there's a possibility of it..

I think that the earth has a soul and just like any other living being under God, it needed to be baptized. Since I also believe in baptism by emersion, yes, I believe that the entire earth was engulfed in water.

There was one great flood that covered the whole earth. The mountains and hills were not as large as they are now, and the force of the water coming from above (How did you think they got the Van Allen Belt - there was mist there before) and the earth opening up from below, volcanic eruptions, etc. poured so much water that it covered the earth. The animals in the ark, well there was not that many of them, one wolf type that after the Flood became the founder of the dogs, wolves, coyotes, dingos, a cat type that came the tiger, cheetah, puma, housecat, etc. and they were probably baby animals. The force of the water caused the formation of the mountains, and it also caused the ice age when the planet tipped. oh and all the evil people were wiped off the face of the earth.
