To Christians who aren't creationists

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Essentially their definition of what a Christian is somebody who recognize Jesus as their Lord and Savoir and would say they will get into heaven because of Jesus death on the cross, rather than doing good works.

I know and I also usually recognise the no true Scotsman fallacy when I see it. Possibly because young earth creationist loons such as GC are so fond of it , but not just them, many other Christian sects are at least as stupidly arrogant.

The waters swelled so mightily on the earth that all the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered; the waters swelled above the mountains, covering them fifteen cubits deep.

Genesis 7:19-20 (NRSV)

I don't understand your point. Are you seriously citing genesis as credible evidence? As far as I'm aware there is no credible evidence to support the claim of such a flood in human history.

The Gilgamesh myth may indeed be based on a flood. However,the myth does no tell us where,when or the extent of the flood. The claim of covering a mountain to a depth of 15 cubits (22.5 feet) is not credible. ( due to the desalinisation of the sea and death of most sea life which would occur)


To people ignorant of geography,a flood to the horizon would have seemed the entire world was flooded. In fact distance the horizon can vary from as little as 2 miles to as much as about 50 miles.

Distance to the horizon

Ignoring the effect of atmospheric refraction, distance to the horizon from an observer close to the Earth's surface is about[5]

d \approx 3.57\sqrt{h} \,,

where d is in kilometres and h is height above sea level in metres.

Examples:

For an observer standing on the ground with h = 1.70 metres (5 ft 7 in) (average eye-level height), the horizon is at a distance of 4.7 kilometres (2.9 mi).
For an observer standing on the ground with h = 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) , the horizon is at a distance of 5 kilometres (3.1 mi).
For an observer standing on a hill or tower of 100 metres (330 ft) in height, the horizon is at a distance of 39 kilometres (24 mi).
For an observer standing at the top of the Burj Khalifa (828 metres (2,717 ft) in height), the horizon is at a distance of 111 kilometres (69 mi).
