Of course it is all speculation, but who would have been killed had the ark fallen to the ground?I still have yet to see s single person address the passage where 2 bears kill 42 boys because they called Elijah “bald head”.

Its a miracle. You just have to accept that .

Which makes me think, is the writer of your link thinking like Bill Clinton?

Quote (Is 1:18 @ April 20 2008,03:30)Kejonn, I think you need to read the link I posted earlier in this thread. It addresses a lot of your faulty assumptions.Read bits an pieces but all I saw was excuses. It boiled down to “waht is evil” and the then the writer tries to convince us that what Yahweh did was not evil. So, what makes this person's…[Read more]

He wasn't obligated to them. You miss the point completely. OR, you choose to just bring on the excuses.Its quite simple really. There are many diseases that only propagate among certain species. So Yahweh could have sent one plague — a fast killing one — that would kill just the humans. Like the Passover, he could have had Noah and his family…[Read more]

Quote (seekingtruth @ April 19 2008,23:47)kejonn,I'm sure you and others will ridicule this but I will share my opinion. I believe that prior to the flood the fallen angels had not only mixed with mankind polluting the bloodlines, but had done genetic manipulations to the rest of creation. God brought those animals still of pure bloodlines (same…[Read more]

Here's another thought: if Yahweh had the power to create and destroy, why was the flood necessary? After all, if it was the wicked humans he wanted to kill, why not spread a plague that only attacked humans? Why create a flood that killed animals and plant life as well? What was the purpose of killing organisms outside of human life?

Quote (942767 @ April 19 2008,19:19)Hi KJ:Also, I have read the Koran, and I do not find anything in it about being born again.I tried to read the Koran but it was worse than reading the Urantia book. Beyond that, if adherents can justify killing by their holy book, it cannot be of God.
