Were the biblical floods 780,000 years ago?

*clears throat and pats forehead with hankercheif*

Let the congregation open our bibles to Genesis Chapter 6 the 15th verse.

And this is the fasion which thou make it of. The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits and the height 30 cubits.

*closes bible*



A cubit is an ancient measure of distance, explained as the length of the average mans arm about 2 feet give or take.

The measurements of the Ark were

600 X 50 X 60, that is a pretty impressive ship by any standard, especially to be built by a 600 year old man ;) Then they filled said ship with 2 of each animal (some say it was more than this something like 7 pairs of every clean and 3-5 pair of every unclean) but anyway we have a zoo on this boat that somehow fits and they are supposed to eat each other but somehow we do not have species completely destroyed after 40 days. Ask a person at the zoo how much food they go through in a week.


So my answer to that is great inspirational story you have brought to our attention, one of my favorites from a kids. I especially love the part at the end where god says "That was kinda harsh, ok ok, I PROMISE that I will not do it again, and to prove it. *reaches in his bag of tricks* TADAHHHH here is a rainbow, so you can always remember the time I slaughtered you for having free will like a kid stepping on ants, it will always be here for you to remember, thank you have a nice day inbreeding to replace the people of the earth, something I will make a social stigma and sin in a couple thousand years!

Now we know that a rainbow is the light spectrum as seen split by water vapor in the atmosphere. HUMN there used to be other groups of people who explained natural things in life by making up stories about godly influinces because they lacked the technology and science to answer why they really were there, they were called The Greeks and The Romans (there were more but we are most aware of these). Science came in and told us stars were balls of hot gas not markers to make us remember heros, and that red tide was red algea growth not Posieden slaying sea monsters! The bible is one of the greatest gathering of inspirational stories ever made, best selling also. I see it and the stories in it nothing more than ways we can learn lessons and hope to live on this planet doing good by those we share. I do not believe everything in it happened as it was written for man by man and so is open to heavy influince and flaws.
