If the flood is false then how do I know that Christ isn't false. It has to be true from the beginning to the end, if any part is false then how do I determine what is real, or how could you. People who start reading the Bible and come to the conclusion that this part or that part isn't true, then they put doubt into the equation before they can find the truth through God, in other words a person stifles the Holy Spirit's conviction without being able to be lead to the truth. Why people do this is beyond me, it's like telling your math teacher he/she doesn't know what they are teaching simply because when the student first encounters the math they do not understand it so they reject it.
You know I didn't say they were eating a king's meal, what I did do, was point out it was very possible for Noah and his family and the next generation or two to easily survive and not cause any extinction of any animal before the world could recover from the flood. I did this with only three animals and some vegetation, there are more possibilities to go with what I proposed, viable ones.

The same way everyone else does: by doing sufficient mental gymnastics to convince yourself that nothing in "the scriptures" is untrue, even if it is demonstrably untrue because of evidence. All you have to do is dismiss and/or repurpose all evidence that is contrary to your presupposed belief. It's easy.
Furthermore, you're actually quite good at it already. Otherwise it would bother you that the animals wouldn't have had the genetic diversity to speciate. It might also bother you that the boat was floors deep, sealed with pitch, and had one window on the top deck, meaning all the animals on lower floors would have been dead within days, if not hours.
Oh, and the animals would have killed each other, and the herbivores would have had nothing to eat when they got off the boat (do not give me some bullshit about olive trees), and the carnivores would have made an entire "kind" go extinct every time they ate anything.
Oh yeah, and all the aquatic life would have died out because fresh water would be mixing with salt water (take that, Muslims), currents would be changing, water temperature would be changing...yeah, everything would die. Everything. All the humans, all the land animals, all the sea animals, all the plants and fungi, and noah and his family and his boat full of rotten meat. That shit would have killed every...living...thing.
But none of that matters because the Wholly Babble says it and your Gaud is magic, right? Right?
I'm sure you'd like to belabor the Great Fictional Flood for a while before we move on to the fact that, say, there's not even the scantest minimum of necessary archaeological evidence for any large-scale Jewish components to the Egyptian slave population ever, ever, let alone the Exodus or the wandering in the nearby desert for 40 years, but there's also that.
Quote:I'm sure that doesn't bother you either, right? Right?
Titus 1:14 (CEV) = "14 Don’t pay any attention to any of those senseless Jewish stories and human commands. These are made up by people who won’t obey the truth."
