If everything has a purpose then evil doesn't exist

[The Grand Nudger]

It's also a requirement for surviving a devasting global flood. All that pretzel logic to explain how the animals survived, but you're still left with 'God magicked it that way' to explain the survival of the land plants.

common man... Seriously? Do you not know how SEEDS work? whether stored away on the ark or left out in the wild, once the water receded that would have simply germinated. 

Also you do get that God is actually the one making all of this work right? The Flood narrative is not meant to be received as a logistical tale of how one man and his family saved the world from an angry God, but rather how god used one man's faith to save the world and all the living creatures in it from an evil this world has not seen since.

Some things (not necessarily this in particular) just need to be left to God. As with all things there is alway a balance to be found

I guess we can add weird shit about seeds to the growing list of things it takes to maintain your faith in the god of the chicken shed?

I do, though, get that god is supposed to be making this all work in the story. From the storm, to the boat, to the animals, to the regeneration of earth. You, otoh, keep arguing that nothing particularly godly is going on. It's just a dude, some birds, a few cows, and seeds doing What Seed Do.

I told you we'd get here eventually, where you decide that all of your own previous statements were fucking ridiculous, but can't stand the perceived humiliation of taking them back. Fuck it, here's another shot. It's all magic, all the way down, isn't it? OFC none of it is explicable...because it's magic. OFC you don't base your beliefs on archeology or geology or biology or meteorology or engineering - because none of those things are magic. OFC it doesn't concern you that those things all suggest the flood story is fiction - because what can be done by magic can be done by magic in a way that looks like it isn't - likely through further magic.

Your god is up there in his wizard hat and his wizard robe, flooding the world and shit....and it bothers you that we won't take it seriously, even though you don't either.
