Zone1 Do other ancient culture myths support the Great Flood spoken of in the Bible?

[progressive hunter]

Yes, dinosaurs are generally considered to be extinct except for birds. Birds are a specific lineage of dinosaurs that survived the mass extinction event that wiped out most other dinosaurs about 65 million years ago. This means that while dinosaurs existed, they are no longer around in the same way, with birds being the sole surviving lineage.

Elaboration:

• Birds are dinosaurs:
  .Opens in new tab
  A significant amount of scientific evidence, including fossil and genetic evidence, points to birds being the direct descendants of a group of theropod dinosaurs.
  
  
• Mass Extinction Event:
  .Opens in new tab
  About 65 million years ago, a massive asteroid impact and subsequent environmental changes led to the extinction of most non-avian dinosaurs.
  
  
• Survival of Birds:
  .Opens in new tab
  Birds, particularly those with smaller bodies, were more likely to survive the mass extinction event due to their smaller size, ability to fly, and other advantageous traits.
  
  
• Birds Diversify:

  Since the extinction event, birds have diversified into a wide range of species and ecological niches.

I guess you never learned anything in school. If you didn't see it for yourself, it must not exist. Got it.

How so? (I have to admit that from your past dismissals of the fossil record I doubt you'll surprise me.)

the information you keep providing has never been observed by anyone,,

youre taking it on faith what they tell you is true,,

That's where you're wrong. In science, I don't have to take anything on faith. I can duplicate any scientific finding I choose to. I may not have a particle accelerator to duplicate studies of subatomic particles, but if I did I trust I'd get the same results. My faith is in the scientific method. Scientists are human and fallible but the system eventually exposes the bad actors.

because the claims have never been observed, recorded and duplicated you have no choice but to take it on faith what youre told is correct,,

they are and will always be opinions based on assumptions,,
ie a theory,,

 

[westwall]

Here is one I just saw on Youtube. Never heard of this before, but apparently there were ancient writings saying there was no moon preflood, but once the moon was place it caused a climate shift causing a great flood.

Yes, almost all of them do.

Then, by definition, they become supernatural laws.

God created everything and the laws that go with everything. Let's say that the 'natural' state of the universe prior to the creation was just empty space, or nothingness, then everything in the universe now is indeed supernatural. As a Christian I think everything is supernatural. We're so used to the steady state of things that we deem it to be 'natural'.

Many things are only observed indirectly. I trust you believe the electron exists even though you've never seen one.

You're assuming the theories are wrong.

You can define words however you wish but, IMHO, if God does something that violates natural law, e.g., stopping the sun to finish a battle, that makes it a supernatural act. I've never witnessed ANY supernatural acts, have you?

Your belief of course. Any physical evidence of any changes?

My repentance was. I was really bad.

I dodged nothing,,

when you have something solid let me know,,

not sure why youre so sensitive,,

itts OK you have a religion to believe in,,

That was super but I don't know about supernatural. Any physical changes?

Within me? Yes.

Do tell.

It is unlike anything I have ever experienced before. Orders of magnitude beyond the experience of the birth of my first child. Overwhelming; unbearable for a sinner such as myself. Transformative. He made me into who I am today. I see things as they are and not how I want them to be. It's not always pleasant, but it is extremely rewarding.

So while I can wish you luck on your journey without God in your life, I know from having experienced both sides, that it pales in comparison to a journey with God in your life.

While I'm happy you're happy, I'm not sure I see anything supernatural having taken place or any external causation.
