The Leaky Noah’s Ark Tale

[The Noah flood story] is a derivative version of demonstrably much older flood epics from the same area, including the Gilgamesh epic [Sumerian], the Atrahasis epic [Akkadian], the story of Xisuthros [Sumerian], and that of Deucalion and Pyrrha [Greek], all of whom survived the world-devastating flood by setting sail in a protective ark, most of them bringing the animals along for the ride. We find all the familiar details: The decision of the gods to flood the world for some offense committed by the human race, the stipulated dimensions of the ark, the provision for the animals, the onset of the rains, the number of days the flood lasted, the naming of the spot the ark came to rest, the sending forth of birds to find dry ground, the emergence of the refugees, their sacrifice, and the promise of the gods never to doom the world thusly ever again. It’s all there, at least most of it in most versions.

As an aside, Price is demonstrating the melding of the different OT sources and showing how they were (piss-poorly) combined into the tale we have now.

[finger in ears] lalalalala, I can't hear you!

For the most part (some prime counterexamples exist here, and we know who they are) Fundies don't have keyboards that lead to the rational world.

I'll relate a tale from a wood working site I frequent. A guy made a profile of an adult female out of a piece of plywood and painted it pink. You may have seen them, chrome-plated, on the mud flaps of trucks. One guy actually complained, because his 14 year old son visited that site. If this was the only thing that his son had ever seen of a "naked" female, I'd be astonished, and sorry for the kid.

I suspect the gay lions are peculiar to the Judeo-Christian version of the tale . . . .

Well, the YECs know dick about "evilution", of course. They will be quick to point out that female lions sometimes also have a mane. The kicker is that those females are generally sterile because of the genetic mixing (and testosterone) that occurred during fertilization that would cause a female to have a mane. So, no lion cubs "expected" off the ark.

I don't know about that. Each one I've seen fit nicely behind a pulpit.
