  • Did the flood mentioned in the Bible (Genesis 6-8) actually happen? Was it just a fable that was stolen from Mesopotamian epics? Is there any evidence that can support the Biblical account?

The latest stemate was there are 7.77 million kind of animals in the world, then noah get two of each which is male and female, soo more or less 15milion animals was in that ark,, how big is that ark? Two gerraf need big space, as will as hipopotamus, elephant, rino, beast, cow, carabaos, horses, zebras, goats, bucks, bears, wolfs, big cats, and etcs., it needs space. Then how big is the atock room og foods,, noah needs to bring extra animals for the carnivores ones, and grass for herbivores. Then after the flood, why does kangaroo find only in Australia, komodo dragon only in Indonesia, why philippines dont have lions, hepo, rinos, elephants, giraffe? Were does that ark land after the flood? How does tarsier manage to come here in the philippines? JUSt wondering, I hope you can help me find the answers of those questions..

    This is really interesting, I hope people realize it.
    The unknown period for the ancients is something I feel is seldom spoken of. Looking at Greek history, they knew the time of the Bronze Age collapse and a bit before, but otherwise it was all unclear. What the Bronze Age people thought of as their past is just amazing, because it's their tradition of spoken history just coming to be written down after years of developing writing, all of the time period that their ancestors spoke of.
    Early civilization is just amazing, and the transition from the Neolithic to Bronze Age needs to be covered more. I'm glad this channel goes over such things, incredible work!!

      Niko Bellic First off, how do you know that these prophets performed miracles? A lot of them defy the laws of physics and scientific logic and lack in historical evidence. Secondly, according to certain Islamic traditions Muhammad is a descendant of Abraham’s second son Ishmael. Last but not least just because a book says something doesn’t make it true. There’s hardly any evidence that the apostles even existed and all of their supposed writings came along way after their deaths, they also contain contradictions.

    I'm really glad that I never started studying this 30 years ago because this information was probably not available or widely distributed and would have resulted in me believing some of the atheist understandings that lead them to reject the whole Bible as copies of myths from other people (which they were essentially).
    I've been following the Kings and Generals historic version of Mesopotamia and how it was under constant battles and takeovers by the various leaders and this video helps add another angle to the time period before Abraham left Ur.

      Peli_can Dude I reject the bible because of ‘stories’ like the flood and many others. The flood story shows a complete misunderstanding of physics, biology, and science. There is no reason to believe any of it happened because it couldn’t have. Reasons?
      - you can’t drive when its raining 1” every 15 minutes or 4” per hour.
      - to flood Mt. Ararat, it would have to rain continuously 4.5” per hour for 40 days
      - to flood Mt. Everest (i.e the entire surface), it would have had to rain more than 7” per hour every day for 40 days
      - there is no valid explanation for where all the water went over the next 325 days
      These kinds of rain events would have sunk the vessel. And these ancient people had no understanding of where the water would go so didn’t make up a story for it.
      After 40 days of rain, the ark floated around for another 10 1/2 months before running aground on Mt. Ararat. That’s a full year.
      - with limited space on the ark, how did they store a year’s worth of food for 8 people and thousands of animals?
      - without refrigeration, food for both people and animals would have rotted. They would have suffered from scurvy similar to the Spanish fleets that died from it after only a few months at sea.
      - where did they keep all of the meat for the carnivores? That would have rotted, too.
      - with only one 3’x3’ window, how did they acquire enough oxygen through that tiny hole for the entire ship’s population? With the amount of excrement being produced, the methane gas would have suffocated them. And the stink...
      - with only one 3’x3’ window, how did they remove the excrement? A full time job for 8 people.
      - the lack of light would have produced all sorts of health problems. To keep lamps/torches going for light throughout the ship, they would have needed fuel...for a year. No plants could have survived in the dark on the ark.
      - ‘pairs of animals, one male, one female’. Do you think this might have caused some offspring? Even more animals to feed. And places to put them? Rabbits, mice, and rats alone would have overrun the ship after a year.
      - 4 couples, 3 of child bearing age, wouldn’t have had any children in a one year period?
      An finally, 8 people of Middle East decent repopulate the the entire planet and produce all of the visible races? From African blacks to Swedish caucasians? Interesting when archeological investigations have civilizations starting in Africa, not the Middle East.
      The ark story was just another poorly thought out claim by these ancient people. Not every civilization has a flood story. If there was a flood, every civilization would have the story. These guys can go through the bible and other ancient texts and find whatever they want. But, without some facts to back it up, their claims are just as unfounded as the creation myth.

      @@Wrkumlin
      Wow, you've really thought this through from your limited knowledge and information available from a story written anywhere from 2,100 to 3,500 years ago but was actually supposed to have happened much farther back in time since it was passed on for many generations before that.
      To be honest, I don't know what happened but the main idea was this: After God created humans he kicked them out of the Garden of Eden (essentially being kept by God who provided everything for them that they would need) for disobeying a rule and told them to work the earth and sweat for their supper.
      From that point they just got worse and kept finding new ways to offend God and sin against their fellow humans so God decided that he needed to start fresh. Some see that as genocidal or some other act of immorality that made them despise God even more than allowing stories to be told in his Holy Book that don't make sense to those who want to find the exact details of how that flood worked.
      But the words of the Bible don't just talk about rain, they also include water from below the earth that was brought up to help flood the world faster. I've heard a few recent stories that say we do have a huge water source stored under the ground and that it is almost as much as the water in the oceans. I haven't researched that either because it is not quite as relevant as the idea that humans sin and we find new ways to insult and disrespect what many believe is the creator of the universe.
      And again, to be honest, that is what I try to focus on and try to improve internally without judging what others do or believe.
      If you'd like to elaborate on what you do believe and why that makes more sense to you then it might be more entertaining than calculating all the old stories that only set the stage for the modern world where we see all the problems of sin and evil coming up everywhere and people doing things to insult God and ingore his wisdom is even more obvious with every school shooting, rape, abortion, sex change operation, and any other silliness we witness daily.
      I'm always open to hearing new versions of reality but lately I haven't heard anything that makes me believe any less in God. They all just confirm that there is something much more intelligent and powerful behind our world and think it's a better idea to seek the face of that being instead of trying to find ways to justify materialistic and sensual pleasures.

    • @Wrkumlin
      @Wrkumlin 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@peli_candude554 So, what I get from your response is that god made some people that were emotionally unable to follow his 'rules', rules they were't told. He didn't tell them what sin was. They had no more reason to understand what it meant than if he didn't exist at all. Then he punished them for doing something wrong when they couldn't have know it was wrong without eating from the fruit of the tree in the first place. Saying "Don't eat from the tree" to Adam and Eve was like saying "Don't eat that cookie" to a 3 year old. The temptation is too great. And if that's how your god teaches people, by testing them, then he's immoral. He's a Barbaric bully of a god, with the same personality as those men that made him up thousands of years ago - believe what I do or you'll suffer. Is that how you raised your children (assuming you have raised children)? Did you tempt them and then punish them if they didn't do just like you wanted without telling them what you wanted in the first place?
      I'm sorry, but your god in no way represents the good of good and evil when he drowns everyone for the doings of a few. And why did he have to drown them? Why did he have to drown all the animals and plants? Was he so incompetent that he couldn't come up with a better way to get rid of the bad eggs in the bunch? And, did it do any good? Nope. He had to direct his warring barbarians to kill entire cities, running swords through the bellies of the pregnant women. But he's all knowing, all seeing, right? Your 'loving' god should have known that drowning 2.5 million of his creations, plus all the animals, would have done nothing and we saw that in history 3,000 years ago. We see it today. So, like I said, he's a bully. He demands worship for what? Fear of eternal persecution if you don't?
      I know you have to defend all of the crap in the bible to maintain your belief in your god. But I don't. I can look at the bible and see the good and realize that it's good because it's good, not because some god said so. If I need a god to tell me what's good, then I also need him to tell me what's bad. And now I can't think for myself. I can't have free will because any decisions I make could disrupt your god's 'plan'. If I do have free will, your god can't have a plan because there are potentially 7 billion disrupters out there every day - atheists, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, even Christians, or any of the less mainstream civilizations out there that have their own beliefs like the indigenous peoples of North and South America. Your god isn't very good at marketing. And your biblical stories don't make him any better.
      I'm not trying to get you to disbelieve. This started out as a statement of why atheists reject the bible. The question should be more like why I can't accept it. And that is what I'm trying to show you. We've only discussed 1 or 2 stories here. There are many more that just make the bible unbelievable.

The claim is that Zoroastrian ideas such as Apocalypse, Angels and the Satan did not exist in the Jewish Religion prior to that event, and was implemented in Judaism due to syncretism.

      Everyone started after the flood, if everyone had grandparents who told them about the flood, it is clear that so many nations have this story as a "myth" even though it was a reality. And as you wrote, generation after generation only remembered certain details of the whole story, until someone decides to write it but maybe already too distorted. For me, this is another reason to believe that the Bible is true. It's the most complex, the most proven. But also the most mysterious, because God wants man to understand, to learn to love, to respect, to believe, and only the one who seeks God with all his heart finds him. As if God showed everything clearly and descended to earth in all his power, no one will dare not believe, but in this way no one will show what kind of man he is, bad or good.
      Here on earth we show if: We live to be a blessing to those around us on this earth or we live for ourself and everyone has to please us. The Bible shows us what and where a life lived in selfishness leads us, even our consciousness that man shows us through many films we make where Selfishness leads Evil and the desire for power to oppress others.

      @J Mireles if you're writing about the flood you should look at the cuneiform clay tablets archaeologists found, telling the story of a flood and a God called Enlil who created a storm to flood everything as well as providing information about what materials were needed to build it .
      Mesopotamia.
      British museum has 1000s of those early clay tablets.
      They predate the Jewish & Christian Noah story by 1000 years
      It's an ancient story, I believe there has to be some truth about a flood otherwise it would have died out .
      But it was s story handed down from family to family over millennia , eventually taken and characters names changed into the ones we find in the bible.
      One expert in translating them is on utube, IRWIN finkle I think his name is, British museum is where the tablets are,
      It's worth a look especially if you're still writing your paper.

      I believe there's some truth in the middle eastern flood , because the story survive for so long after being passed down to each generation over millennia.
      I believe there's a lot of truth in many biblical stories,

      I'm interested in Learning anything new , I don't want to take sides , I'm no Christian or atheist, I believe in God but I don't believe everything man writes .

    The human bottleneck and violence rise seemed obvious to me. Man stayed violent towards each other well into the bronze age, Social insulation was the norm and entire villages spawned from one man and his many wives produced entire clans that all hailed back to their previous ancestor. These men would compete with each other (I use compete very loosely here, some were better at dating with the given rules than others) and their haplogroup spread. To scoff at this idea or to consider it incredulous seems almost like willing ignorance. Todays civilizations hail from one man. Hell Europe of all places Is basically spread into two halves both originating from one man, one clan. Hell Humanity has a shocking lack of abundance of haplogroups, in fact it seems entire civilizations hail from a prior father of some sort. I find human migrations fascinating. Great video IP. (Main interst is R1a migrations and Europe as well as India and Iran and some of the middle east.)

      Man is still violent towards his fellow man today and that would be true even if the entire world was atheist. They forget we're not claiming that Christianity is proven true because it made the world a paradise. Christians realize their sinfulness and look to God as savior. Yes, we should try to improve, but becoming perfect in some absolute sense on earth is not the "goal" as this is impossible. The idea of a flood local in scope but "universal" in judgment is a lot more plausible than a global flood. Okay say it was a miracle, but how many miracles are needed to make the fundamentalist version of the story make sense? (since they want it to play out in a naturalistic world in real time) If our interpretation of the bible is contrary to fact, then our interpretation is at fault.

    I love these flood stories. Once people realized that the Earth is a globe, they discounted them, because of the unlikelihood that the surface of the planet would be completely covered. What they did not consider is that in a sufficiently large body of water (e.g. Lake Superior) a floating craft would be out of sight of land, indefinitely, creating the impression that the entire world had been inundated. Having no form of propulsion, the Ark really would not have moved at all. It would not have taken much to convince people that the entire world had perished by flood.

    2. In the 600th year of Noah (second month, seventeenth day), the Flood began (Ge 7:11).
    3. The waters flooded the earth for 150 days (5 months of 30 days each), including the 40 days and 40 nights of
    rain (Ge 7:12, 17, 24; 8:1), plus the initial receding.
    4. The waters further receded to the point that (600th year, seventh month, seventeenth day) the ark rested on
    Ararat (Ge 8:3, 4).
    5. The waters continued to abate so that (600th year, tenth month, first day) the tops of the mountains were visible
    (Ge 8:5).
    6. Forty days later (600th year, eleventh month, tenth day) Noah sent out a raven and a dove (Ge 8:6). Over the
    next 14 days, Noah sent out two more doves (Ge 8:10, 12). In all, this took 61 days or two months and one day.
    7. By Noah’s 601st year on the first month, the first day, the water had dried up (Ge 8:12, 13).
    8. Noah waited one month and twenty‐six days before he disembarked in the second month, the 27th day of his
    601st year. From beginning to end, the Flood lasted one year and ten days from Ge 7:11 to Ge 8:14.

You are also assuming to know what Old Testament writers knew, when you have no idea what they knew. But most egregious of your assumptions is the misunderstanding that Old Testament writers wrote based upon what they "knew." This denies the entire point of the Bible - the fact that it was INSPIRED. God TOLD them what to write. Obviously, the writers in some cases were very familiar with their content but in other cases very unfamiliar with it. How do you think prophecy works? You think they "knew" that? And how did Moses write the first few chapters of Genesis? Did he actually know what happened in Eden? God inspired the writing of Scripture.

      @@keithtauber4153 Well that is ignoring texts like Psalm 104:5-9 which describes God during the creation of the earth setting a boundary on the waters of the earth so they do not flood the world ever again which happened in the primordial earth. You are reading the text way too plainly in our modern western lenses and culture we have to understand it their culture lenses and understanding the writers of the bible wouldn't understand our culture the way we do.
      And those people that you say "Follows Man's word instead of God's word" is interpreting the Bible in the writers culture and their understanding. So I find it unfair when you guys say they aren't following God's word when they are literally interpreting the way it was meant to.
      Also the Psalms verse is not at all in conflict with the NT passages you cited.

    14 clean birds.
    4 unclean birds.
    4 reptiles.
    4 marsupials/shrews.

    4 weasels.
    Discovered by comparing nature with various texts. And a method God gave me. Verified with archeology and ancestry.
    28 on one side and 28 on the other. Providing further balance for the ship.
    Discovered after examining the results of the collected data.
    4 women on one side and 4 men on the other. The plants for food were also on this deck, along with the body of Adam.
    Discovered from various texts.
    A moon pool was included into the Ark, along with the window in the ceiling which ran down almost the length of the ship.
    Discovered from various texts. Verified with archeology.
    3 keels each made from a single tree. Discovered from various texts. Verified with archeology.
    3 decks with humans being on the top, then reptiles and birds in the middle, then the rest of the creatures on the lowest deck. Discovered by various texts. Verified with archeology.
    I can provide sources for the text and archeology along with how I came up with the results of the animal kinds.

    21:11 the consonants in the Semitic Akkadian ‘G-P-R’ used to present “gopher wood” are cognate in Sumerian as ‘Gi-Pa-Ru’. ‘Gi-Pa-Ru’ mean a reed mat placed at a temple. Although Irving Finkel gets criticism from various fundamentalists for his Higher Critic viewpoints, his language translation work is actually very sound in itself. We can see ample evidence now that the Bible writer viewed, or copied forward, the concept that the floating structure was indeed made of reed-work. 👍🏻

The impact hypothesis is not accepted as a fact in Academica, there could bebother culprits such as volcanes, but there was an impact, because there has been observed Platinum spikes in ice cores and peat samples from around the globe, but not enough to have caused a planetary catastrophe, in fact human seems to thrive and multiply at the time.

      Hello. So, what I want to do with this message is to simply show what the Gospel is. I am not trying to force my belief down people's throats. It's your choice whether you want to accept it. So, a question: Do you think you are a good person? If so, have you ever stolen anything, lied, looked lustfully, watched adult material? All of those are sins and anyone who sinned is not good(on God's standard). You, I and most( most because babies don't sin, and maybe specifically mentally Ill people) purely human beings have violated God's moral law. Since God is just, He can't let sin go just like that.So is there any hope? Yes, there is! Out of love and mercy, God became a human being, Jesus Christ. Jesus lived a sinless life and finally died on the cross to bear the punishment we deserve, we deserve to be punished because we have sinned. The reason why blood must be spilled for remission of sins is because the life of the flesh is in the blood, in the Old Testament Jews sacrificed animals for sins but the sacrifice of animals were enough for remission of some sins, not all. It wasn't infinite, unlike Jesus's. Jesus is the Lamb of God, the ultimate sacrifice for sins which is enough for all sins that have been done, are done and will be done. The Old Testament sacrifice of animals, the spilled blood of those animals could cleanse people from some sins but not ALL, unlike Jesus's. He was buried and rose again. His resurrection proved that His death was enough to pay our penalty, the penalty for our sins. Jesus paid our penalty and in order to accept the free gift of salvation from God, we must trust in Jesus's spilled Blood, His finished work on the Cross for our Salvation. And then your sins will be forgiven because of what Christ did, you will be saved. See: Romans 3:10 KJV, Romans 3:23 KJV, Romans 5:12 KJV, Romans 6:23 KJV, Romans 5:8-9 KJV Romans 10:9-10 KJV, Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV, John 3:16 KJV, Leviticus 17:11 KJV, Ephesians 1:7 KJV, Colossians 1:20 KJV, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV.

My dad and I began to discuss what if God came down in many different forms of different Gods to communicate to different cultures in a way they would all understand? Noah being for the Hebrew people, Buda for Asia, and different Gods for India and other nations… makes it plausible for all religions to technically be correct since they all somewhat have the same experiences.

They are running downward from higher terrains into the water of the gulf. In Genesis Eden has a source from which the four rivers flow. Eden in Persian Gulf, the rivers Euphrat and Tigris and the two other rivers would flow backwards, from the water up to the mountains. That is why land of Eden and the garden must lay on a level where rivers spring forth from the ground, that is in a mountaineous area.
