Zone1 Another question to ponder

[SaxonJackson]

Why did god make a 600 year old man build the ark, instead of just popping one into existence, like he did everything else?
I get its about testing loyalty and obedience and such, or so I have seen explained. But then another question arises.
If god is omniscient, he didnt need to test Noah. He would have already known.

Tests/trials, in my opinion, serve at least two purposes. 1) It allows us to grow in faith and to learn from our experiences and 2) They can serve as an example to others.

As for building the ark or working at any task, God told mankind in the Book of Genesis that we would have to work by the sweat of our brow. This was part of the conditions meted out to mankind as a result of the fall from grace in the Garden of Eden.

Like what dont be afraid be explicit

You have a supposed 135 IQ and you can't figure out how to find out what normalization of deviance means?

And yet you still can't state what it is. Remarkable.

What is not remarkable is your refusal to offer an opinion and example to prove your point. Afraid? Your statement is an oxymoron

You still cant prove your point because your afraid Ill tear it to shreds.
You said "normalization of deviance"
There are two contexts cultural and statistical. Thats why I gave you two examples.
Taken as you stated it without context its an oxymoron.
If you make deviance normal its not deviance. Thats the oxymoron.
It seems you dont know what you dont know.

How about this example. Christians took the normalization of Genesis and changed it to deviance. Then built an oppressive abusive religion that took 3000 years to become civilized.
