The Noachian Flood

[The Grand Nudger]

Well at least I got you to recognise that the narrative could be either. The question then becomes, Why would you deny the possibility of even a local flood as stated above? Or are you saying that the narrative isn't 100% accurate?

And for the record so that I know what the fuck you're talking about... WHAT FUCKING CONCLUSION HAVE I COME TO????

A fictional narrative can be whatever it likes. In it, elves lord over kingdoms and fight off hordes of trolls. This has never been and will never be a point of contention with me.

I'm not saying that the narrative isn't 100% accurate, but that it is 100% wrong. Nothing in it, not a single particular, is reconcilable with reality. Are we clear?

You've come to the conclusion that a local flood even remotely resembling the description in the narrative is possible. It is not. End of story.

You implied that the rain couldn't fall and drop "that much" water to earth.

I'm not implying it, I'm stating it as it is a fact.

I merely pointed out that things which you know to be real should not discount the possibility of a global flood.

Right, magic, I already gave you my opinion on invoking magic, and my confusion as to why you would invoke magic to begin with.

But I'm sure you'll find some other reason now...

I don't need to, the narrative, and your excuses for it are unchanged, as is my mocking disapproval for your conclusions. Again, we're not talking about filling swimming pool here Cat.

I couldn't care less if the narrative was kept or not. Especially if you are going to dictate how it should be read.

Good, ditch it, because it didn't happen. Not a global flood, not a local flood. Nothing. Not even if -you- dictate how it is to be read. That's what "irreconcilable" means.

But here we go again, you'll admit scientific fact yet deny the possibility of the earth being entirely submerged in water? Really, you would deny that?
.

-That- would have nothing to do with the flood narrative. You'd be aware of that, had you invested even five minutes time into the subject before declaring it a possibility. But to address this directly, no, Cat, the earth has never been and could never be submerged in water. Sorry to burst that bubble. There simply isn't enough water - nor has there ever been- nor could there ever have been- ignoring all the rest of the bullshit involved in even considering this. This isn't just a fictional narrative, it's a fictional narrative that is entirely impossible (from the angle of water alone - we could address the other impossibilities in the narrative if you like...but how many should it take?).

Never happened, never could have happened. Not even remotely possible, not by any retelling. Is there something I've failed to convey to you here? This narrative further tarnishes an already sullied faith. Resisting it's complete and utter abandonment makes any and all cherry picking beyond it patently ludicrous.
