Funny thing is that the humans and animals had to carry all of the diseases that have ever existed, (They don't evolve you know.) Those lions carried all of the lion diseases, and Noah and his family were one hellava sick family to have to take care of so many animals.
Find the cure for Fundementia!

Genetics shows there is no bottleneck in our genetic heritage dating back less than 6,000 years ago. Draw your own conclusions. There is evidence of a genetic bottleneck some 60,000 years ago where it appears we very nearly went extinct but other than that - nothing.

The bible has diseases covered, I'm afraid. RE: I have a question about noah's flood.

I was just thinking about this after getting off the computer!!! I believe we have a fresh new argument here, which actually ties in with the claim by creationists that biology allegedly points to one male and female (A&E of course) as the beginning of humankind. It's too late at night for me to write a well thought out syllogism, but basically the way I see it, if we take the Bible literally then creationists will be tying themselves into knots: creationists claim that biology allegedly points to one male and female (A&E of course) as the ancestors of all humans. Our first contradiction here would be that biology wouldn't be capable of genetically seeing past Noah's dirty inbreeding, as that period of time represents by far the most extreme bottleneck biology would have seen. But yet, creationists insist that biology somehow gets through the most severe bottleneck of all history and leads us to A&E. Therefore, their *own* claim that biology somehow points to A&E but fails to recognise the bottleneck during Noah's time leads them to shooting themselves on the foot. The only question is which foot do they want to shoot(?): (1) The claim that biology points to A&E is actually bogus, but it might be possible for it to point to Noah + family as the next source for humans that have lived the few past millenia. (2) The claim that biology points to A&E is accurate, meaning that the story of Noah is bogus as there is no apparent bottleneck during his time. Either way, something isn't right, which is of course nothing new in the world of superstition. "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it" ~ Aristotle

Good point....I've always wondered why creatards make such a stink about evolution but have no desire to teach "driving out demons" in medical schools? As I recall, fucking jesus had almost nothing to say about creationism but he was always driving out demons somewhere or other. I never understood the rationale for the jesus freaks worrying so much about genesis. What do you think?

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. |
