Do yall believe that before the flood the earth was filled with giants and mythical creatures

[GPBear]

FYI the Bible used the word “kind” and not species of animal so that broadens it to the family level. Example Wolves, Coyotes if they mate it still the family of Dog. Creator told Noah 2 of every kind of animal. So yea they could fit on the ark.

Let’s disregard the fact that you’re playing semantics, the Bible wasn’t in English so the Bible didn’t use the word “kind”, and the distinctions between species/family weren’t developed until 1800 years after Jesus -

There’s 6,000 families of animals. That means around 12,000 animals.

Modern medium-sized ocean bound livestock carriers contain about 3000-4000 heads of cattle. Add on 2% body weight in food per day (forty days and nights, going to need about 80% total weight in food.) Ships of this kind were only developed in the 20th century with the advent of steel hulls, so the concept of a single man making a similar sized ship of wood is already impossible from a perspective of naval architecture.

Noah’s ark was around 500 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet tall. That’s a capacity of ~1,600,000 cubic feet. A medium livestock carrier made of metal of similar dimensions can only hold 1/3 the amount of animals, and with enough food to last three days. Apparently the omniscient creator drastically lowballed how big Noah shoulda made his ship.

You can Google old NY times articles where lots of giant bones were found all over the US. The giants were called mound-builders in the US, even Abraham Lincoln mentions them.

The Smithsonian has most of the bones stashed away.

Then your area would flood and you would ASSUME that the WHOLE planet was flooded

Im saying how would they know if the whole world was flooded?

How would people in the Middle East know if Australia was flooded?

Or the America’s that they didn’t even know existed?


There area most likely flooded so they assumed the whole planet was flooded, only thing that seems logical to that story.

Normally I would agree but flood myths are prevalent across cultures around the globe with many of them recorded as having taken place at or around the same time.

And yes rain and natural disasters regarding water/flooding (cyclones, etc) causing widespread damage have and will continue to happen often, but it's something else entirely for large civilizations, thousands of miles apart to have such similar stories regarding MASSIVE, seemingly endless flooding in the same period of time. I have no reason to believe ALL of them simply saw some local flooding and thought "oh yeah, this must be happening everywhere".

Personally, I believe there definitely WAS a global deluge or "great flood" at some point, and I don't think it's too far outside of the realm of possibly to believe that, however, the rest of the stories surrounding it seem more like things people made up to give meaning to the unexplained.

this is a very opinion

notice they only start bringing up outlandish shot when it comes to Black civilizations

Riiight.....and 1800 years after Jesus?? Who’s that!?

 

[Ghost Utmost]

All the dinosaur bones that are displayed are fakes. The museums even admit this.

okay

Even if there are a billion

REPLICAS

The REPLICA is a artificial copy of...

A fossil someone dug out of the ground

Or

Lets say they find 150 bones of one skeleton and are missing another 100 that they couldn't find. And they fill in the gaps with their best guess

They still found most of a real skeleton

For this conversation to matter at all, you would have to be saying that fossils are a complete hoax and ZERO actually exist

You literally didn't respond to the argument at all. Carl Linnaeus, look him up.

But stay on topic, you said there was 2 of each "family" of animal. That puts around 12,000 animals. Yet the measurements from genesis vastly underestimate the size of a vessel necessary to carry such a load. Let alone the food/water.

 

[GPBear]

None of those were real, and any modern examples were easily debunked as fraudulent hoaxes by farmers to trick their dumbass hick friends. You can't just post an infographic as proof.

Nah I’m good on looking him up. But I said 2 of each “kind” so that could be 1 wolf and 1 coyote, Then he good move on to the next kind. But the Bible’s states the ark was 300 x 50 x 30 cubits, which is a volume of about 2.21 MILLION cubic feet. Don’t know where u got ur measurements. And he cared for about 7,000 animals!
And ur right the Jesus statement is for another thread. But do ur research. Smh

dap fishin ass

you must be young brah, cacs been saying aliens built the pyramids since forever. It's part and parcel of being a cac, not believing Black people could build something like that on our own

They still can't figure out how we did it


And I guarantee whoever dapped your fakkity ass post responding to mine is a cac

 

[xCivicx]

just like your flat earth bullshyt, there is NO REASON to lie about dinosaurs

Nah, you don't know what reason they would lie about anything

You not being able to comprehend WHY a person or group commit an act, doesn't automatically mean that said person or group didn't commit that act

That's a logical fallacy

You're making assumptions based on how you want to world to be, not how it is

I also find it funny how most of you will admit that the people in power lie, yet y'all seem to know EXACTLY what they are and are not lying about

As if a person who has proven to be a liar can still be believed about "other things" smh

"Oh yeah they lied about this, but theres not way they're lying about that"

There are definitely more oversized human bones in existence than there are "dinosaur" bones

 

[xCivicx]

no, that's god

who the fukk faked all those dinosaur bones, and why did they bother

One reason would be to make you think that the earth is much older than it is

They say that dinosaurs lived hundreds of millions of years ago, and suddenly, the idea of the universe being billions of years old seems a little more believable to y'all

But they didn't actually start discovering "dinosaur" bones until after the theory of evolution was created and pushed

 

[xCivicx]

Every single dinosaur bone we have is NOT a manmade replica

That's just totally false

Start over

Don't worry about me champ

As I said before, you're hella uneducated for a dude that's supposed to be older than me

You have absolutely no wisdom to offer, it's pretty sad

Again, every single dinosaur bone you see in a museum is a man made replica

Call any museum to corroborate what I'm saying
