If everything has a purpose then evil doesn't exist

[Silver]

What can I say, except that sometimes the writer in me produces something decent. The writing has been pouring out of me lately, produced a couple novels in the past few months alone. Working on the third.

If a god can create a universe, why does he need to mess aroung getting a guy to build a boat,

who said he needed to do this? He could have just wiped the face of the earth clean and started over.

run around catching animals and all that.

He didn't. God gather the animals and sent them to Noah. Noah loaded them into the ark.

Maybe he likes to do things the hard way, or perhaps he is just lazy or fictional.

Again what in the story makes this a difficult thing for God?

“He didn't. God gather the animals and sent them to Noah. Noah loaded them into the ark.”

Chapter and verse please

Still sounds like bs to me

nope. It's just a plausible explanation supports by the original hebrew text. meaning if one were so inclined one could interpret the original text to include eggs/baby mammals. as the words originally used do not have a straight modern taxonomical word or phrase that it translates to.

If you look at the raw translation it simply says "Everything living made of flesh take two of, into the ark" this would obviously support the offspring of those animals.

There is no original hebrew.  You're thinking of greek my dude, the original greek.

The Masoretic/Hebrew texts are the foundation of the majority of English OT. because they are the source material that makes them the original Hebrew text. So when ever a critical examination of the OT is needed the original Masoretic/Hebrew text are examined.

While the greek Septuagint is about 1300 years older and the Masoretic texts were translated from the older Septuagint Again, the fact that the English translations are taken from the masoretic text makes them the source material for the majority of the English bibles.

Where did all that water go, anyway?

back into the earth. there is more water in the earth than on it. a pbs documentary/webpage claims there is 3x more water in the earth than on it.

Remember the 40 days of rain was only a partial contributor to the flood the geysers opened up all over the earth as well as the deep/oceans spewed water from it's depths. the water receded the same way.

[R-Farmer]

God inspired and approved, right?

No proverbs are the wisdom of men.

Yahweh wouldn’t have anything in its book of rules it doesn’t approve, right?

Proverbs like psalms are not commands from god. they are simply considered 'writings' or praise/wisdom

Do not lean on your own understanding is a litter different than a penny a day…. And an apple a day…..



Come on man

What I'm saying is lean nt on your own understanding is a good axiom it is not a command. just like a penny saved or an apple a day is not US law.

[h4ym4n]

“Nope. Not if 98% of all birds, insects, and reptiles are in egg form,”

How many eggs stay unhatched for…. How many days was the ark drifting around?

300 plus day?


Let’s hear more majik to explain it


Chapter and verse of gathering eggs please?

where you get 300? do you have book chapter and verse to support this number?

Maybe you oughta read and familiarize yourself with the story starting in gen 6 before you start trying to represent it.

Do you have any other citations


Was the rain just to slowly kill every one?

Chapter and verse please

Gen 7: 
15 All these animals went into the boat with Noah. They came in groups of two from every kind of animal that had the breath of life. (breath of life means living breathing thing. as opposed to a tree or plant which is living but does not breathe.)
