Speaking of Noah, one thing that's always struck me is why he was given a deadline at all. What would have happened if he went past it? Would "God" have extended it, or just gone "sorry, too slow" and fucked him over with the rest of the planet?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Stimbo, that is a good question.
Maybe I can answer it by looking at the experience of Lot. Lot lived in Sodom. Scripture noted the place was prideful, prosperous, and as everyone knows, a stronghold of homosexuals. The angels told him, they could not do anything until he got out of there. So apparently God could not do anything until Noah and clan left. He made sure Noah left in time. In another view of the time element- The long range plan of God is- much of heaven comes to here for a thousand years (the Millennium Rest) - then, after that we all enter the eternal state of the new earth - immortal perfection. The Days of genesis are a picture of the thousand year spans.

Because there seems to be no shortage of people who know about these "secret" societies and how they're manipulating the world.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Thanks for acknowledging it though. As for the thousand-year spans of genesis, well they only become necessary to paper the plot hole dividing the literalist view of an actual six-day creation myth with the less primitive knowledge that the Universe wasn't created in six actual days. It falls apart when you have plants forced to sustain an existence for a thousand years on a sunless Earth though.

Trying to save angels by offering his daughters to a mob of sexual perverts, good thinking. His wife was pure evil though. How dare she look back when told not to. She deserved to become a table condiment.
Stimbo, I hold to the primitive literal 6 day literal Creation week.
Upon which the entire plan expands into 6Kyears. Only 2 years to go to hit the Grand Finale and Restoration of all things. Yeah. And I wasn't trying to obscure anything. I am looking forward to the same repeated principle applying to myself. It comes when we leave.
Oh, are you off?
Bye, then.
