I bet it was a whole lot easier (required less water) to flood the whole planet back when the earth was still flat. Once it became a sphere, it was beyond even the power of a god to flood.

Today we have Great Danes and teeny tea-cup chihuahuas as a result of breeding from the original parents of Noah's Ark.

Here is what this Phd says about dogs from post world-wide flood:
On the Origin of Dogs
The problem with that is it says after their kind. A bit bull and collie are not the SAME KIND.

Proof is found in the raven and the dove. I suppose in your scenerio the raven and dove breed and produced all the different KINDS of birds today.

You're right! The water spilled under the flat earth and flooded the edges and underside. Yea, that's how it went. Sure! Uhhuh!

Did I ever say or infer that they bread a collie with a pit bull bull? No. Did you read the article on dogs from the PHd? Most likely all dogs today come from the wolf.

E that is a very self serving statement. Just because I do not view the scriptures after the same manner as you do does not mean I do not believe in the scriptures.

Tis the same as saying if you do not believe what I believe you do not believe the scriptures. Talk about setting oneself on a pedestal.

Jesus took the historical event of Noah's flood as a literal event. Not greater than Jesus are you.

Not really.

The different nationalities of mankind, blacks, yellows, whites, browns etc. all came from the four families that exited the ark. The monkeys did not spawn humans. The monkees spawned different types of monkees.

Of course, why would you? If you did it would screw up your system.

(Mat 24:37) For even as the days of Noah, thus shall be the presence of the Son of Mankind."

Pneuma would have to say: Just as the fake story of Noah, thus shall the fake presence of the Son of Mankind.



(Mat 24:38) For as they were in those days before the deluge, masticating and drinking and marrying and taking in marriage until the day on which Noah entered into the ark,

(Luk 3:36) of Cainan, of Arphaxad, of Shem, of Noah, of Lamech,

(Luk 17:26) And according as it occurred in the days of Noah, thus will it be in the days of the Son of Mankind also."

(Luk 17:27) They ate, they drank, they married, they took out in marriage, until the day on which Noah entered into the ark, and the deluge came and destroys them all."

Tell me, what cute story was Jesus trying to teach? He never said it was make believe.
