If God's Flood was only a regional flood...

[Taz]

...Then why would god order Noah to take 2 of every animal, if all the animals weren't going to drown because the flood wasn't worldwide as many posters here contend?

 

[deanrd]

With hundreds of trillions of worlds, God doesn't have time for a George flood.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Taz, please, reread what you just wrote.

Taz, please, reread what you just wrote.

I did, it's a perfect sentence. Why?

 

[JakeStarkey]

You will have to ask the Hebrew who was writing in the 5th Century BCE why he had God say that.

So you don't know, so stfu.

How many species of animals did this all powerful God kill off during his temper tantrum against his human creations?

If that God could make it rain for 40 days and nights, couldn't this God just smote those evil humans directly and not kill off all the animals whom Noah couldn't save?

God works in mysterious ways. BAM. I win forever. /thread

Please, people. Those who claim ideological descent from the Middle East refuse to acknowledge that people existed all over the world at the same time, on every continent, that events that occurred in the particular area of the Middle East were not universally experienced, and that if there was an event that was experienced on a global-wide basis, that the locals in each location might interpret them differently.

It was worldwide and the next one will be the same only fire and brimstone

If it was worldwide, then how did Noah get kangaroos from Australia and back again?

G-d does have a sense of humor. Perhaps he was seeing just how far Noah would go.

He’s done it with other guys.

 

[Borillar]

If it was a global flood, how did the animals native to other continents make it to the Ark? How did they make it back to where they came from? Did the Kangaroos swim from Australia to the Ark and then back?

It was worldwide and the next one will be the same only fire and brimstone

So how did the different races get back on board so fast?

How did the different races get on board before God made them doofus

So you are saying that the only humans left on the planet by God were transmutated?

I know, you know, and that is the Bible is not inerrant.

Screw kangaroos. I wonder how they managed to fit all those dinosaurs on there. The brachiosaurus alone was 80ft long and like 40ft tall!
