The SCIENCE that supports the DELUGE of Noah's Day

I'm happy if everyone at least realizes that there is far more evidence for a MAJOR Catastrophe
Which is never, ever going to happen, as, in reality, there is not a shred of evidence for the flood myth of your religion. And it stands in contradiction to all the evidence. You should give it up.
 
Science that backs up the DELUGE as fact.


The effects you describe take just a little bit longer than 40-days and 40-nights.

The Flood was a year long event. Even the Bible states that the water continued to rise AFTER the rain stopped.


From the original Hebrew.

[apparently, for some reason, Hebrew characters are listed as banned words]

And the rain was upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.


If you're going to insist on taking the scriptures literally, you need to adhere to every word and not make changes or assumptions.

So, let's talk about eating cheeseburgers, shall we?

Genesis 7:4 says, "For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth FORTY DAYS AND FORTY NIGHTS; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth."

It rained for 40 days and 40 nights, and the fountains of the deep were opened up: that is what caused the whole earth to be flooded. Genesis 7:10-12 says "And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights." Genesis 7:17-21 says, "And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters. And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered. And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man."

The waters of the flood started to go down, and the ark rested on the mountains after 5 months had passed. Genesis 7:24-8:5 says, "And THE WATERS PREVAILED UPON THE EARTH AN HUNDRED AND FIFTY DAYS T. And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged; The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; And the waters returned from off the earth continually: and AFTER THE END OF THE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DAYS THE WATERS WERE ABATED. AND THE ARK RESTED IN THE SEVENTH MONTH, on the seventeenth day of the month, UPON THE MOUNTAINS OF ARARAT. And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen."

For the time table, please notice Noah’s age when the flood started. Genesis 7:11 says, "In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, IN THE SECOND MONTH, THE SEVENTEENTH DAY OF THE MONTH, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened." Genesis 8:4 says, "And the ark rested in THE SEVENTH MONTH, ON THE SEVENTEENTH DAY OF THE MONTH, upon the mountains of Ararat." That is exactly 5 months.

The previous verse was only saying that the BOTTOM OF THE ARK had rested upon the mountains at the 5 month point, but as Genesis 8:5 says, the tops of the mountains could not be seen until about 2 1/2 months later, "And the waters decreased continually until THE TENTH MONTH: in the tenth month, ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH, WERE THE TOPS OF THE MOUNTAINS SEEN." So that would make the flood about 7 1/2 months long before the mountains could be seen.

Genesis 8:13 says, "And it came to pass in THE SIX HUNDREDTH AND FIRST YEAR, IN THE FIRST MONTH, THE FIRST DAY OF THE MONTH, THE WATERS WERE DRIED UP FROM OFF THE EARTH: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, THE FACE OF THE GROUND WAS DRY."

Notice that THE FACE of the ground was dry, that is, there was NO STANDING WATER seen. This would have been about the 10 1/2 month point since the flood began, but the ground was still soggy, and so God did not tell them to leave the ark until a little later.

Genesis 8:14-16 says, "And in THE SECOND MONTH, ON THE SEVEN AND TWENTIETH DAY OF THE MONTH, WAS THE EARTH DRIED. And God spake unto Noah, saying, Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee." Notice this time that it is not just the FACE of the earth, but the EARTH (the ground) that is truly dry. Now Noah and his wife and their family could walk around without getting their feet all soggy and wet, and they could sit down on the ground without getting all wet.

So the flood began when Noah was 600 years old, in the second month, and the 17th day. They were allowed to get back off of the ark when Noah was 601 years old, in the second month, and the 27th day. So once the flood started, until the time when the ground was truly dry again, it was 1 year and 10 days. That is the length of the flood, 1 year and 10 days.

NO SOUP FOR YOU! One must read and compare the entire passage and not just a verse or two.
Noah and his family were in the ark for 370 days. Below is a breakdown, which might also help answer your question if you were only wanting to know how long the earth was covered with water.



40 --the number of days it rained (Gen 7:17)



110 --the number of days "the waters prevailed on the earth" (Gen 7:24)



73 -the number days the waters "decreased" ( Gen 8:4,5)



40 --assuming "end of forty days" followed the previous 73 days (Gen 8:6)



7 --days waiting for the dove to return



7--days waiting for the second time he sent out the dove



7 --days waiting till he sent out the third dove



29 --days needed to finish out "601 year, 1st month, 1st day" (Gen 8:13)



57 --days needed to finish out "2nd month, 27th day, the earth was dried"

370 Days
Noah and his family were in the ark for 370 days (by my calculations). Below is a breakdown, which might also help answer your question if you were only wanting to know how long the earth was covered with water.
 
This is Dr. Grady Mc Murtry. He was once a staunch evolutionist who came to the scientific conclusion that evolution as it is accepted is in error and that the FLOOD of Noah's time was a real occurrence that shaped our environment we observe today.

As a wide variety of cultures have myths about a great flood, it seems to make sense to me that such an event actually occurred.
There have been many great floods. The infilling of the Black Sea, the Spokane Floods, the Bonneville Flood, the tsunami that swept Doggerland. But this is zero evidence for a single great flood that covered the mountain tops. Just a myth borrowed from the Gilgamesh Epic.
 
I am sure floods have happened to people all over the planet, multiple times.
Most, if not nearly all the fossils presently found, show the truth that these creatures all perished in a horrific Flood, the magnitude of which has never been equaled nor ever will again. Even aquatic fossils demonstrate an enormous amount of churned up silt and muck.
LOL What a pile of shit that statement is. Thousands of fossils in North America from volcanic eruptions. And, for the last 500,000,000 million years, we have been seeing fossils from all kinds of environments, and most are not from being covered in a flood. Floods make for rather poor fossils, as they are energetic, and tend to completely mangle what is caught in them.

There is evidence that the Earth was once covered in frozen water. But that was about 650 million years before anything resembling a human could have observed it.
 
You certainly cannot and your evolutionary cohorts can not, will not, and have not observed the event...
So what? We also have not observed the fusion at the core of stars. But we know it is there. What a dumb argument.

Furthermore, look at the absurdity of your comments. Did you observe god creating living things? No...then, in the next breath, you mention not observibg abiogenesis as some sort of argument against it? What is wrong with your brain, nipskee?

So, let's compare:

You never observed god creating animals, and I never observed abiogenesis. However, you have not a shred of evidence or logic to support your magical claim, and all of the evidence stands against your claim

But the truth of abiogenesis would be consistent with all of the evidence, and makes perfect sense, in light of everything we know about the universe.

Face it...you and your magical nonsense are losing badly .
Speak for yourself ----- There have been not a few people viewing the info and only a few die-hards have imagined that they are winning anything. I'm happy if everyone at least realizes that there is far more evidence for a MAJOR Catastrophe than Uniformitarianists have ever been willing to admit to...

Here is another secular look by NOVA -- MYSTERY OF THE MEGA FLOOD. It is interesting to see how truly vindictive those in authority can become.

Snowball Earth, and it happened more than once. But Nipper knows little of geology, or he would not be making these silly claims.

Show me the science and not simply your lack of faith in the Bible. View the entire scientific explanation by Dr. Mc Murtry. And then come back to the table ans perhaps we can have a logical scientific explanation and not just one based around anti-biblical jargon.
 
Independent study shows that the Noah's Ark is feasible from a scientific standpoint. Noah's Ark 'could have happened', scientists say
Now that is just about bullshit. Just the beetles alone would have swamped the boat. LOL Sorry, your pet mythology is not backed up at all by science.
Scientific proof? We only need 3 men and their wives to explain the races today. Surely beetles can become hybrid over thousands of years --- the FLOOD didn't happen yesterday you know.

Dr Mc Murtry is a lot more learned that either you or I.

All the fossils are the result of being buried in MUD.

Haha, I get a kick out of you, when you do this. If the education and experience of scientists meant anything at all to you (which it does not) , you would accept the overwhelming consensus of the scientific community across every field of science.

Do you realize how dishonest you are being right now?

The Toba Catastrophe Theory speculates that an massive eruption approximately 75,000 years ago caused a decades long cooling that reduced the existing human population to between 5,000 and 25,000 persons. From this gene pool, descended every human alive today.

A small gene pool to be sure, but much larger than three.

Yep. The Ice Age came after and was caused by Noah's Flood.

Not the 'Ice Age'. That was simple glacierization. There were periods of 'Snowball Earth' where the entire planet was frozen. The last was 650 million years ago.
