Sooooooooooo God was so pissed off in the days of Noah, that He thought the only thing that could fix it would be to flood the whole damn world and start over.
That's right, every innocent baby, DEAD. Every little cute animal, DEAD. Every living frickin' thing, DEAD! Well except for Noah and His family ... OH, and a couple million pairs of animals including the kangaroo from Australia, and the polar bear from the north pole.
Anyway, that sounds like a lot of water. In fact, so much water that I thought it took some looking into. So the bible says that God flooded the earth for 40 days and 40 nights, and that the water was 15 cubits above the highest mountain.
Now let's see, the highest mountain is Mt. Everest, and 15 cubits is around 20 feet. So I'm supposed to believe that God created enough water in 40 days to flood the 29,000 foot Mt. Everest? Now that's what I call a downpour.
To have this happen, it would have to rain 6 inches each minute. That's 360 inches of rain in one hour, or 8640 inches in one day ... for 40 days straight! Now I may not be the smartest apple on the tree, but the thought of it raining 720 feet in one day ... everyday .. for 40 days is probably one of the biggest bullshit stories I've ever heard. Not to mention just how in the hell did Noah know that He was 20 feet above the highest mountain?? Did He have sonar back then?
It's all fine and dandy to have these stories to tell. But it's just damn scary when people actually believe them and base their morals and values of their lives on them. And yet I get into arguments with people all the time about how the Bible is 100% perfect, and has never been proven wrong in 1000's of years! REALLY???
One can only conclude that there are 2 types of people in the world. One deals with facts, logic, and reason ... and the other .. uhmmm .. well ... MAGIC!
