    Ancient Pagan Religions existed long before the Ark supposedly made land around 2100-2200 BC.

    Sargon of Akkad was busy uniting the city states in Sumer into the worlds first Empire around 2350 BC but, the Sumerian religion and culture goes back much further than this.

    The story of Noah in the Bible is a retelling of Sumerian and Near East creation myth.

    Paganism is derived from gnostic principles.

    Paganism was around long before the Gnostics. Good thing too as this gave the authors of Christianity lots of material to work with.

    That is not evidence of a DNA bottleneck.

    This has nothing to do with Uniformitarianism.

    I used 'gnostic principles' universally, so, yes, they were around from earliest prehistoric days, and, yes, it is part of Uniformitarianism.

    Yet another religious fallacy trying to "connect the dots" for Noah to be the source of pagan religions.

    "literal mortals being defied"? Er, it took 300 years before christians decided jesus was an aspect of god himself. What was that about personification?

    Minor correction .. 300 years to turn Jesus fully into God .. (God of Abraham)
