Re: “You like would not agree with this scripture either. ... You simply are being truthful and skeptical. Not unusual.”Au contraire. There is nothing in the excerpt you posted that is factually FALSE. The story of Noah and the Great Flood, on the other hand, is obvious folklore. It's wrong. It never happened. If it had happened, there would not only be undeniable evidence, there would BE some evidence... which there isn't.

When I was a child, a woman in my neighborhood told me that man had not ever traveled to the moon. "If he had," she said, "the astronauts would have been blinded. For the Bible says, 'God made two great lights—the greater light (the sun) to rule the day, and the lesser light (the moon) to rule the night'. If Neil Armstrong had walked on the moon, he would have gone blind."

I didn't argue with her. I was only ten, after all, and respected my elders. But I knew she was preaching medieval nonsense.

Not EVERYTHING in the Bible is literally true, micro. Some of it is allegorical. God didn't put two lights in the sky. He put ONE light in the sky, and one reflecting piece of rock. Not two lights.

And he didn't flood the Earth, allowing a population of mammals to survive it despite the fact that their genetic diversity wouldn't come close to what would be necessary for specieal viability. So the "pair" of animals brought aboard an ark might survive, but the species would be dogmeat.

Noah is a good story. It teaches us something valuable about faith, loyalty and decency. But it's only a story and there wasn't a Great Flood any more than there are two lights in our sky.

De,

It's okay to not agree. There are plenty of scientists who would disagree with you that have been studying this for a long time.

You like would not agree with this scripture either:

For by GRACE are you saved thru FAITH and not of yourselves. It is the gift of God (to man) (not of man's own works), lest any man should boast.

God is interested in people who will TRUST in HIM even though you cannot see HIM. WHY???? Because our eyes cannot look upon HIS Glory without being blinded, even as Moses did shield his eyes on the mountain because of God's glory when HE passed by Moses and gave him the tablets of stone with ten commands etched on them with God's own finger.

God wants people of FAITH. IF you have to SEE HIM before you trust HIM, you will not be part of HIS Kingdom. Its as simple as that..

Jesus Christ performed an exorcism of a person possessed of several demons.. He simply spoke and commanded them to come out of the man.. We read about exorcisms occasionally today as well. These are SPIRITUAL battles that cannot be seen with the human eye but the effects of being possessed by one of Satan's demonic angels is well documented and very real, even though you cannot see them...

You simply are being truthful and skeptical. Not unusual.
It's alright. I do not think anything about it...
