Im not gonna lie, the Old Testament can get a bit trippy and far fetched at times. I admit some of the stories are a little out there; the global flood being an example but honestly at the end of the day I believe with deep conviction that the tales found in the Bible are true and valid

So you believe the flood huh? Explain the diversity of life on Australia. If all the animals were released in one spot after exiting Noahs ark, how do kangaroos get to Australia? Think about it.

I dont know the details of it all nor the finer implications that stem from it.
Im just saying I do believe that what the Bible states is true.

There are extra biblical accounts of a worldly flood. The Epic Of Gilgamesh being the most famous example. Disregard that and there is still a plethora of flood "myths" that permeate every culture.

I dont deem this to be a coincidence. "The Eight Immortals" is one in particular and one of Chinese origin which basically is a tale of how eight beings sailed from heaven and formed the Chinese race.

I do believe the Sumerian account with The Epic Of Gilgamesh to be the most revealing, however, seeing how Sumeria was the first civilization constructed by mankind post-deluge according to Biblical history along with secular history. This is also where the people of were scattered across the earth after the Tower of Babel incident. Im assuming that explains why every culture is connected with the tale of the same cataclysm.

Look at what you just did. Completely dismissed FACTS and posted some more myths. Why would you do that?

Lets go back to the facts. I did not ask you what you know, I asked you to THINK. THINK about what the FACTS mean to your MYTHS. We both agree there are kangaroos, and they are ONLY found in Australia. Now THINK, if Noah's mythical ark landed in Turkey or Iran like they claim, HOW DID KANGAROOS GET TO AUSTRALIA, AND WHY ARENT THEY FOUND ANYWHERE ELSE?

This has implications on your flood myths.

The opening sentence of my post was a direct response to the question and I stated that I didnt know the finer details. I can guess and speculate but what will that accomplish?

As an alternative, I used extra biblical accounts of the global flood from distinct cultures to support the fact that it, more than likely, was a real time event rather than a story in a book. The explanation was a different means to the same end but here you are pissing and moaning about Kangaroos.

Anyway, I believe the earths continents, unlike today, were a single land mass combination and some time after the flood there was some sort of continental drift which is a reflection on what the earths geography is today. In other words, there was a distinct time period where remote geographical animal migration was a possibility that is otherwise impossible modern era

Genesis 10:25
25 And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided

bible stories are no more real than any other religious story unless proven otherwise. one can't grow on belief. the scriptures have deep meanings behind them but it's hard for one to interpret them w/o knowing what comes 1st in life, which is knowledge, which means doing research on as much topics as possible. If you believe in god, how can he create people w/o knowing how to do so????

noah's flood is actually physically impossible. did you ever consider the amount of water it would take to cover the entire earth? the amount of space to accommodate the worlds species? how about the amount of food to feed the animals, or the amount of feces they would produce. please watch this video before replying...

Matthew 19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

That was about 'saving' people, not omnipotence.......

24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”​

Context is your friend.​

I do not know if a God exist or not. I can neither prove or disprove but I can make an analysis based on the word as it was written.

Do you believe a 'G-d' doesn't exist? You've already stated you don't KNOW if one exists, but 'belief' =/= 'knowledge'.

Simple 'yes' or 'no' is sufficient.
