Zone1 Another question to ponder

[ding]

More of your feelz.

Nope. Objective truth.

I ask legitimate questions,

No, you don't.

you just cant answer

But I have. It was you that couldn't answer my answers. All you did was hit the funny button. You're a joke.

Ignorant cultures coming up with a flood story means nothing. Floods happen all around the world. And they just blamed gods, because they had no other option. They didnt understand natural phenomena

You can't tell me that the Chinese flood story is not connected to the Biblical one

It most certainly is.



Again, you would have to do some study on prehistoric archeology and ancient myths around the world to be able to understand what I am talking about to get the big picture.



There are common themes in the myths of ancient cultures around the world. For example, they speak of "beings" that come from above who gave mankind knowledge about mathematics and architecture and astronomy, etc. The Bible refers to them as the Nephilim, and Sumerians refer to them as the Anunnaki, and the Aztecs refer to them as the Quinametzin, etc. Then a global catastrophe occurred that they all refer to as the "Great Deluge" that destroyed almost all of them.

And if you study prehistoric archeology, what you will find is that prehistoric people were building things that modern day humans would have a very hard time replicating due to the complexity of the architecture and the massive blocks that they used. Then around 9,000 to 12,000 years ago, cataclysm stopped it all across the globe, as archeology is slowly discovering them around the world where they all stopped at about the same time and simply vanished.

Take the pyramids, for example. My guess is that they are far older than what is thought. I think most agree that the Sphynx if far older than the pyramids, with the head later modified from its ancient origins. But the interesting thing is, Egyptians tried to build later pyramids that are simply inferior to the Great pyramids that we are all familiar with, as if such ancient technology was lost to them. And you see this around the globe in places like South America as you see prehistoric constructions built with such technological precision, it defies explanation, as later constructions look like crap compared to them.

It simply makes no sense. In fact, many think that aliens came down to try and explain away the notion that prehistoric man was more sophisticated than mankind that came later. Take the temples of the Greek and Roman gods, for example. If you study them, you will find that the foundations of these constructions to not match the rest of the construction, with the foundation being built with massive blocks with highly technical precision. My guess is that people came across the foundations of these constructions, not knowing where they came from, and attributed it to "the gods" because it must have been built by superior intellects, so they build upon them and gave these "gods" a name as they used their temples to worship them.

But it is not just the myths that parallel themselves around the world, such as the giants and floods and beings that came from above, it is the prehistoric constructions themselves that parallel each other. For example, there are pyramids build all across the glove, with perhaps the most built in China of all places.

They simply share too many similarities to logically dismiss the notion that they are all tied together in some form or fashion.

Funny stuff arguing about fictions concerning one religion among so many. Face it folks, life is natural, enjoy it, you ain't gonna know your dead, so enjoy the now.

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.

What makes you even believe that there was a Noah, etc. etc.?

The Bible aka OT and the Torah are a self-written book, by Hebrews over the course of ca. 500 years - who constructed a fake history (whilst taking known historic legends/accounts of other civilizations) to lend credence to their fictions novel - solely invented to lay a "religious based claim" on a fictions "holy land" promised to them - whilst robbing (conquering) it from the Canaanites.

You can't tell me that the Chinese flood story is not connected to the Biblical one

Which one? - since they got many flood stories - and they are ALL centered around the Chang Jiang and Huang Ho rivers - well known for their partial devastating effects - and they are regarded to be the cradles of Chinese civilization. So logically there are numerous flood legends - but none refers to a GLOBAL flood.

So god made him labor for decades so he could learn how to build a boat?

Noah dwelt on this EVERY DAY and he GOD'S Warning message to the world.

It's a mystery. No stop your questioning and just obey.

This suggests that ancient cultures were indeed superior. The image of the head of gold, chest and arms of silver, belly and thighs of brass, legs of iron, and finally feet of iron and clay (our civilization today). A picture of descending quality. The feet of mixed iron and clay not only suggest weakness, but confusion.

Those vast, complex engineering achievements of the ancients suggests a transcendent purpose shared by the entire community leading to lives dedicated to that purpose. Today our cities grow up like topsy and are falling apart. Our personal purpose seems only to satisfy our desire for wealth and pleasure.

There is nothing "natural" about life, I can assure you.



Its time to grow the hell up!

We immediately think of an enslaved work force of emaciated men who die by the thousands constructing these incredible places, but what if that were not the case. What if a workforce of physically powerful men was employed for these tasks.

We also have examples of superhuman strength in emergency situations that are not repeatable under ordinary circumstances. What if the mental abilities of these ancient workers could effect such feats at will.

Very possible, although the staircases reveal that people of ordinary size would be accessing these structures.

It was an object lesson, FAFO.

I suppose it depends on perspective.

For example, have you even gone into museums and seen beds those people slept in hundreds of years ago? Only half your body would fit on it, as they seem to be more like the size of dolls than real humans. Nutrition more than anything has helped people become bigger, much like in North Korea the average human is about 3 feet shorter than South Koreans, because Rocket man starves all his people to death.

But the point being, human beings come in a wide variety of sizes and shapes, as these giant stories are based on more truth than not,. much like the stories of the Great Deluge.

Myopic Sighting

As for ridiculously extended old age, the surviving Neanderthal all looked the same to the Cro-Magnon. That's why they thought it was the same one lurking for 800 years in the forest near them.
