Oh yeah, I remember that website. It is known as the "holy Grail for Atheists" by those in the know. 😏
edit: it is quite remarkable that you would characterize it as "for atheists". i am a christian, and i am sure the global flood story is idiotic. even if we would take it as not entirely literal, it still is a story about genocide. genocide committed by the god who so loved mankind that he sent his only son to die on the cross so that we could be saved.
you would have to be retarded to believe a god of love would kill every man, woman and child, every animal for whatever reason and just a few years later send his son to teach that everyone can be saved, every life is precious.

"For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be."
(Matthew 24:37-39 NASB)
"And just as it happened in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all."
(Luke 17:26-27 NASB)
It is difficult for me to believe that you are a Christian when you deny the beliefs of Christ.

"It is difficult for me to believe that you are a Christian when you deny the beliefs of Christ."
many things are difficult to you, common sense being one of them. you are clinging to something jesus might have said in passing, to support a different claim, as told by the authors of the gospels years after that.
he is talking about the coming of "the son of man". and the gospel author remembered jesus said that, and he needed a suitable comparisson, so he picked noah's story. jesus might not even have said that.
get it through your skull: the fact that the flood didn't happen is undisputed. it is fact. it is as much fact as gravitation is. what is disputed is whether jesus actually said that, and if he did, what did he mean by it.
also, anyone who believes in the story of the flood is not necessarily retarded. they may be simply ignorant, brainwashed and refusing to fire up them neurons .

Well, there were civilizations before the flood from the descendants of Adam and Eve. The civilizations after the flood were from the descendants of Noah's family. What else would you like to know?

ive got another question for you.
how did noah and his wife and children re-populate the world with asian and black people? where did the asian-ness and black-ness and all the other ethinc body types come from?
Originally posted by stellspalfieThese ethnic groups are all descendants of Noah's family that were scattered upon the earth by God with the confounding of the language during the tower of Babel incident and the subsequent divison of the continents. The difference in appearance is due to adaption to location, climate, and food in my opinion.

Originally posted by RJHindshow long would it take eating a far eastern diet to develop an asian appearance? how come not all people from really hot countries are black? what do asians eat that is different to everywhere else? now that the globe shares recipies will we all start to look the same?

Originally posted by RJHindsyou mean how noah and his sons and daughters got so frisky and bred like rabbits and just in about 100 years or so they were capable of building the tower of babel? a building so impressive it pissed god? to be clear, the pyramids didn't bother god, the eiffel tower didn't bother god. it stands to reason then that this tower of babel was even more impressive. how did humanity build such a wonder just 100 or so years after being reduced to the noah bunch?
The Holy Bible tells you all about that.
and btw, the bible doesn't deal in "how". stell asked you "how"
