The Ark Myth

And why it is definitely one.

Thanks for posting that - a great video that no YEC is ever likely to watch but you can only try.

Why? I can't watch it.

Why what & why can't you watch that video?

My parents won't let me do random things. And don't scientific facts have to be observable,testable and repeatable? Can you repeat the Flood, test the Flood, and did you observe the Flood?

You still haven't answered my 'why what' question? What is it you were asking why about?

"My parents won't let me do random things" - and yet here you are, posting random comments?

What's 'random' about watching a 19 minute video on the subject of why Zoology refutes the Biblical story of the Flood? It's a very well presented argument for why the OT account cannot be literally true - well worth 19 minutes of your life & anything but random 

My parents let me do thing on here because there aren't these things! (Mostly, and I don't look at them.) And why does it refute it? Aren't they assuming what they think was true then? And @JayHunterBrickwood, could you come too, to give me some help?

If they can't observe, test and repeat the Flood, how do they know what they say is true?"Anything that is not observable, testable,and repeatable is not a fact, it's a theory.

If writings from ancient times make some claim that in the light of modern scientific understanding we know cannot be true, then that claim should be regarded as false. Is that reasonable?

There's no need to try to repeat the flood to be confident to a very high degree that it didn't happen as recounted in the OT.

LOOK at what I said.

I believe I did - the Old Testament gives an account of a world-wide flood. YEC's insist that it's an accurate account of a real event that took place a mere 6000/10,000 years ago (YEC's seem to disagree on precise time-scales). O/k, you can say that any account of an historical event that leaves no evidence behind is questionable & I agree with that.

But that still leaves us in limbo because it allows people to choose to believe it as an accurate account, or to believe that it's fable or fictional.

What the video above sets out to do is to demonstrate the number of ways in which the story of the Flood contradicts modern scientific knowledge. That's the best argument for showing the Flood account to be an invented story.

Noah's Ark theme park in Kentucky sues their insurance company over rain damage

Lawyers of the Ark Encounter — the buzzy Noah's Ark theme park in Williamstown, Kentucky that opened in 2016 — filed a lawsuit last Wednesday against the park's insurance company for breaching their coverage policy obligations, after heavy rains in 2017 and 2018 caused a landslide on the park's access road.

Please tell me the replica dinosaurs weren't damaged?

Only offered as a point of interest.

Act of God, obviously.
