Sorry bud, this is only my second post in this thread. All the content you had to work with when you wrote this accusation was represented in my post above; I never said anything about Sumerian myths, so you can't exactly be bringing this up as a double standard against me. You don't know my position on it.
Not that "you just explain those things away," is much of a rebuttal, more a statement of facts. Yes, I do explain them away, because there are more logical explanations for them.
Also? What I did say, did not even entertain the possibility of mythological copying. My point was that the worldwide flood idea was probably an exaggeration, not plagiarism, and that the actual physical evidence simply dos not even allow for the possibility of a real worldwide flood.
So to recap: you didn't address what I actually said, accused me of something I never even spoke about, and didn't so much as rebut that, but rather state what I was actually doing, as though it's inherently wrong.
Maybe try responding to me, the next time you respond to me?
