The story has some connections to reality but only that at one point the red sea(one seahat is near egypt or middle east) may have flooded at one point.

If you look at it from a logical perspective it is false. How could he have feeded two of every animal on the arc? How could he have gathered two of every animal? Could an arc of that time really hold that many animals?

Just sumerian legend adopted by christians in their bible for there stories.

You are quite right, but I just have to nit-picky hear and say, adopted by jewish people since the OT was written earlier than any idea about Christ.

So before the great flood...what happened then? lol, you would have to be the most arrogant prick to think that time began with the great flood. How did water end up there? or the earth? or the deterioration of a giant land mass to make that flood in the first place? or Those damn animals and that old man who had the time to make that boat? You must believe in that guy if you believe in the gibberish you are writing.

People like you honestly...give me the shakes.

ITS CALLED EVOLUTION! are you saying that the plants decayed at slower speeds? what happened to you're theory on time starting with the flood?

That's not really what he's saying dylanshmai. He's saying that accurate records of time can't exist before the flood. Like, the flood would have washed away soil layers and screwed with fossil records. That's the idea.

oh, well thats also ludicrous, I am living proof!!! and so are the stars.

Agreed that it still doesn't make much sense, (it doesn't even line up with the Bible anyway, ironically,) but it at least makes more sense then time literally beginning with the flood.

Still, I certainly commend his conviction, if not his application of objective thinking in this area.

the guy is obviously an idiot.

Not neccessarily an idiot, just misdirected.
