More from Christian "researchers": how long did Noah's flood last?

 
 
 
i usta know this guy, very intelligent, hacker, doing 6 years for escaping from county lock up by climbing out (no mean feat). except about religion. i asked him about the flood, where did the water come from, etc, and his reply was pure SF. well, no, SF has some science in it somewhere, jupiter ascending not withstanding. something about all the water being held up in the air in a layer or something. he got real nervous about me, he wouldn't let me touch his bible (i had my own), though i'm not sure if he thought i'd pollute it or catch fire.

He was likely referring to the Vapor Canopy Hypothesis, the notion that the water for Noah's flood was suspended in the atmosphere. There's no direct Biblical mention of it, but it can be inferred from a few references in Genesis (Genesis 1:6-8 mentions the waters being separated into 'oceans' and 'the sky', and Genesis 7:11 states that during Noah's flood 'the floodgates of the sky were opened.')

From those two passages, Canopy Theory advocates argue that the whole world was a steamy tropical jungle. This explains why Jehovah never let it rain (Gen. 2:5-6) and why Noah was the first man to ever see a rainbow. Then, at the appointed time Jehovah snapped his finger, and the atmosphere condensed into liquid water which helped flood the earth.

But you're right. Such an idea isn't even close to SF. It belongs in the realm of high fantasy.

Is that 365 days of flooding that left no geological evidence or 371 days of flooding that left no geological evidence?

Oh YEAH!!!! Well how the hell did the pretty sea shells get up into mountains????

Fairies carried the sea shells up there.

You can't disprove fairies, therefore it is proven that fairies created life, therefore it is proven that Christianity is false. See how easy it is to prove stuff when you use faith as a path to the truth? ;)

That doesn't make any sense. How did the fairies get up the mountain? You do know that they can only fly in stories and not in real life, right? How the hell does a three inch tall fairy carry something that weighs as much as it does up to the top of a mountain? They're not freaking ants, FFS. :mad:

I don't know how, but i feel confident that if you get all the fairies together and insist, very clearly, that it would be a bad thing for them to plant fossils on the mountain tops, and turn your back for just a SECOND, the next thing you know, half of your fossils will be on the mountain tops. The other half will be at a casino, in the seafood buffet because, well, fairies.

You can't prove that fairies didn't do it, therefore it is proven that fairies did it. Do try to keep up.
 
What I want to know is, how did a 600-year-old man build a boat, any boat, without absent-mindedly nailing his dick to the mast? I'm presently 10% of Noah's age at construction point -- and I can lose my glasses while wearing them.
 
I love the flood story. I was taught to believe it was literal. My logical mind said, "NO FUCKING WAY - what else are they lying about?"

Well as long as they used some powdered tobacco, then that's fairy snuff.
