About Noah And That Wooden Boat

If meaning "In my fantasy world"?

Let me insert some jarring reality with a picture of all the water on the planet. Compared to a pool ball, the Earth has a smoother/flatter surface.



The large sphere of water is seawater, the small one fresh (rivers lakes and glaciers) There's not much more than a thin film, proportionately.

 

WoW!!!! How incredibly inane. Did you even look at that graphic before you posted it.

Anyone else want to point out his mistake?

 

The blue stuff is water. What you can't see is water that you can't see.

 

"This drawing shows various blue spheres representing relative amounts of Earth's water in comparison to the size of the Earth. Are you surprised that these water spheres look so small? They are only small in relation to the size of the Earth. This image attempts to show three dimensions, so each sphere represents "volume." The volume of the largest sphere, representing all water on, in, and above the Earth, would be about 332,500,000 cubic miles (mi3) (1,386,000,000 cubic kilometers (km3)), and be about 860 miles (about 1,385 kilometers) in diameter.

The smaller sphere over Kentucky represents Earth's liquid fresh water in groundwater, swamp water, rivers, and lakes. The volume of this sphere would be about 2,551,000 mi3 (10,633,450 km3) and form a sphere about 169.5 miles (272.8 kilometers) in diameter. Yes, all of this water is fresh water, which we all need every day, but much of it is deep in the ground, unavailable to humans.

Do you notice that "tiny" bubble over Atlanta, Georgia? That one represents fresh water in all the lakes and rivers on the planet, and most of the water people and life of earth need every day comes from these surface-water sources. The volume of this sphere is about 22,339 mi3 (93,113 km3). The diameter of this sphere is about 34.9 miles (56.2 kilometers). Yes, Lake Michigan looks way bigger than this sphere, but you have to try to imagine a bubble almost 35 miles high—whereas the average depth of Lake Michigan is less than 300 feet (91 meters)."

Any mistake you note would be due to an inability to grasp scale, or something even worse. I think I will go with the USGS over your rather uninformed opinions.

 

Wait a minute. I thought the consensus was that man and ape only shared a common ancestor. That at some point the line split, the apes went one way, the humans or what was to be human, went the other? That both share a common primordial stock. Has this been changed, and when?

 

So IF the Earth wasn't flatter, then there is no scientific basis for a global flood?

 

I saw the graphic on USGS, the diameter of the sphere representation is misleading. When viewed from that distance the deepest abyss would barely look like a scratch. An 860 mile diameter sphere, not including the recently calculated subterranean oceans of twice the above surface oceans will still cover a flattened Earth with a thin film of water 8,000 feet to two miles deep.

 

The flood happened in 2900 BC in the Euphrates river basin. It was 150 miles wide and 300 miles long .. headed south towards the Persian Gulf and Bahrain.

 

And IF Algore hadn't invented the interweb the Post Office wouldn't be bankrupt.

 

Sometime before 1910, apparently. Besides being a synonym for monkey, ape refers to the superfamily Hominoidea which is comprised of all tailless primates, including humans.

 

Well, I'm convinced now...NOT!

 

Some folks are convinced, some are committed and some (____________) should be committed.

 

Those recently calculated subterranean oceans are about 2.5 million cubic miles, and while more than the total surface fresh water, falls far short of the 321 million cubic miles in our oceans.

 

No it will not...I believe your calculations to be incorrect or fabricated.

 

"Recently calculated" from your nether regions by you.

 

Click on the links under the measurements smart guy. They aren't my calculations. Apology accepted.

It is still 1 to 2 miles deep.

 

LOLOL.. Ok.. whatever, but you should know that a flood 150 miles wide and 300 miles south WAS their whole world. There are NO mountains in the Euphrates river basin.

 

Except 99% of that water is still on the surface, so instead of the waters receding, the mountains sprung up virtually overnight. Do you know what that kind of movement does to surface rock? And you still haven't even tried to explain where the water came from.

 

I could float a bass boat in a swimming pool....doesn't make it the Atlantic Ocean.


BTW, how many miles high is Mt. Everest?

 

He may see it...but he won't respond to it.

I tripped him up on the "speed of light was faster in 4000 BC than now" angle.....so like any Creationist when he gets stuck.....

he blamed me for it and put me on Ignore...as others here have been.

It shows not only the intellectual vapidness of some of them....but the cowardice.

 

Yeah,...
The earth was without the spherical form, because t was at first an accretion disk rotating around the Sun:

 

Yes.
Genetics have shown that 7 million years ago, by an act-of-god, two of the 24 pairs of Ape chromosomes fused together, creating the first Adam or human with only 23 chromosomes.

 

Right.
The flood was reference to Modern Homo sapiens flooding out of Africa 40,000 years ago when all othe humanoids died through extinction.

 

Yeah...my mistake....I accidentally reversed this.

You can't possibly be this stupid.
