The thread is about the logistical impossibility of the effort portrayed in the Genesis 7 account. I simply redirected the conversation to reflect the intended purpose of the account citing it was not a matter of the efforts put fourth by Noah and His family. I even went so far as to say the Ark was not a boat, but the Faith Noah had.
Quote:We do not know if the story is fictional or factual, without factual evidence to back it up.Again immaterial. As we are discussing the story recorded in Genesis.
Quote:Until you bring that factual evidence to the table, you might as well be imparting your clarity on any fictional work, like Aesop's Fables or Grimm's Fairy Tales...which is exactly how I have approached this discussion. For instance you are were telling a butchered up rendition of Red Riding hood. where the grandmother and the wolf were friends, and the axeman went off the reservation and starting killing "people" and then the wolf somehow got to be a person as well, and red was a sham because of... whatever. Again I am only telling the story as it is written. Something you do not seem to be interested in, because you all like the rendition you have learn to mindlessly argue better.
Perhaps that is why Some of you have sought to take the discussion to a personal level so quickly. Usually this is the last result of the desperate or ill prepared. Apparently on this web site it makes a good first and second volley as well.
My question is if you bring out the big guns and miss, what do you do then?
