Since I have joined Armorgams . . .I see a lot of Atheists and their threads about why people believe in God etc . . . I wanted to start a thread about the bible and christianity.
The purpose of this thread is to debate a different book of the bible each week. We will discuss lessons, morals, and different stories.
We will have friendly debates. Please . . . if you are atheist or of other beliefs . . . you may discuss in this thread, just PLEASE no fighting, flaming, spamming, trolling . . . etc
This week we will begin from the beginning . . . .Genesis
Provide evidence of a flood that covered the entire world. I dare you.
Because somehow we managed to repopulate loads of places in the world, from every which direction and that we forgot about them then.
Sounds right. Ok. Great. Let's go with that theory of yours. I'd much rather think we populated those places over hundreds of thousands of years but 4000 - 5000 years sounds reasonable.
all i have to say is that how can people not believe that there is a god when you look at the world things are so amazing and beautiful. there's no way they could of just happened 2 evolve over time starting with a little bacteria or what ever other people think. especially when you look at the human body. like how we reproduce, not how we make a baby but the whole course and how most things just work out so perfectly
There was a lot of incest, but miraculously, Noah's genealogy repopulated the Earth. . .
We already know that inter breeding of humans would have made it impossible to survive because it would create all sorts of problems. We also know plants self pollinating would die out.
Now GIVE ME YOUR REAL ANSWER. Or maybe you've run out of answers?
. . . never knew such a sentence could be said casually.
Back then, it wasn't weird . . . it was natural.

Exactly! =D
then shouldn't there be a ton of people with genetic disorders then. inbreeding is very bad for the population.
Those diseases did not exist in that time period . . .the genes were more pure . . .
A little known fact by most of today's population is that our current definition of incest is differenty from what it was in biblical times. This view changed because the royal line in England a few centuries back was becoming riddled with health problems and birth defects due to an overabundance of inbreeding. There was a decree from this time period that prohibited the intermarrying of any brothers or sisters as well as any first cousins. This viewpoint spread to the general population, and that is why today there is such a social stigma against this type of marriage. Biblically speaking though, I believe incest was defined as marrying of having sexual relations with a parent. It wasn't weird until the birth defects occurred and the English officials prohibited incest.
