No matter how many times i look at the past and current extinction rates of just animals , not flora it blows my fucking mind.
You know how like every couple of years or so you spot a animal on like a documentary and you are gobsmacked that a thing like that exists. ?
I did this with nawals.
Blew my fucking mind. I think i was 20 ish
Whats the latest animal you have all of a sudden seen.
I was freaked out when i heard of a animal called .
False killer whales.
It messed with me.
God imade so so so many different types of animals
Some sound unrealistic.
350, 000 different types of beetles . With the 80 or so thousand identical to the human eye.
God Doing a simple act like 350k beetles is, odd
Thats all you can say
ODD.
It wouldn't be odd however if like 30 % or so of the bible went into great depth about alllll the diffrent types of beetles
And like 65% of the bible was just in depth about stars
Talking about human wouldn'take up 5 %

Repeating yourself won’t make what you say any truer. It just makes you look desperate.
Bible timeline is a joke. Earth is older than the biblical “timeline.” Earth is NOT the center of the universe.
And the Bible was written by men to be used by men to control mankind through fear and violence to force submission or suffer eternal damnation in hell (a place that simply does not exist except in the delusional minds of the gullible sheeple).

That's any almost exclusively modern American view.
Nobody would believe that the bible was inerrant in Roman times because they could see how Emperors edited the text to suit their politics.
Nobody would believe that the bible was inerrant in the Middle Ages because each copy was hand-written over years and any literate monk could see the difference between one bible and the next.
Believing that bible is unchanging depends on the consistency that comes with the printing press. And even then, the next few generations of people could see how radically different the King James Version was from the Coverdale version, or the Lutheran from the Vulgate. As it become common for Europeans to speak more than one language, it became easy to see the radical differences between Greek and French Bibles, Latin and German, etc.
Only in America where the King James Version dominated for centuries would it possible to go from place to place and find a consistent version of the Bible, and so Americans are really the only place where people really think the Bible (mostly the KJV) is inerrant and consistent over time and place.
Half of all Christians are Catholic and Catholics are not taught that the bible is in inerrant. Gallup estimates fewer than 17% of all Christians believe the Bible is the literal truth.

The "doctrine of the inerrancy of scripture"held by the Catholic Church, as expressed by the Second Vatican Council, is that "The books of Scripture must be acknowledged as teaching solidly, faithfully and without error that truth which God wanted put into sacred writings for the sake of salvation."
Catholic Church.The Second Vatican Council authoritatively expressed the Catholic Church's view on biblical inerrancy. Citing earlier declarations, it stated: "Since everything asserted by the inspired authors or sacred writers must be held to be asserted by the Holy Spirit, it follows that the books of Scripture must be acknowledged as teaching solidly, faithfully and without error that truth which God wanted put into sacred writings for the sake of salvation." The Council added: "Since God speaks in Sacred Scripture through men in human fashion, the interpreter of Sacred Scripture, in order to see clearly what God wanted to communicate to us, should carefully investigate what meaning the sacred writers really intended, and what God wanted to manifest by means of their words."

Exactly, Second Vatican teaches that while the Holy Spirit that inspired men to write is without error, men themselves are limited in their capacity to perceive and communicate that perfection. Therefore, the limitations of man, context, language, comprehension, etc introduce the errors in text that Men must interrogate and challenge to discover the truth in modern context
However, since God speaks in Sacred Scripture through men in human fashion, (6) the interpreter of Sacred Scripture, in order to see clearly what God wanted to communicate to us, should carefully investigate what meaning the sacred writers really intended, and what God wanted to manifest by means of their words.
To search out the intention of the sacred writers, attention should be given, among other things, to "literary forms." For truth is set forth and expressed differently in texts which are variously historical, prophetic, poetic, or of other forms of discourse. The interpreter must investigate what meaning the sacred writer intended to express and actually expressed in particular circumstances by using contemporary literary forms in accordance with the situation of his own time and culture. (7) For the correct understanding of what the sacred author wanted to assert, due attention must be paid to the customary and characteristic styles of feeling, speaking and narrating which prevailed at the time of the sacred writer, and to the patterns men normally employed at that period in their everyday dealings with one another.

I'm just glad with all the walking he had to do Noah wasn't flat-footed.

If you knew your Bible, it was Moses that walked for 40 years leading the Jews out of Egypt to the promised land.

To be honest, spaceships is the more reasonable explanation for the whole GOD thing.

Or have they.

Makes more sense than some guy in a boat stuffed full of
animals sailing on an impossible amount of water.
For anyone interested The Biblical flood story probably had
its origins in the Sumerian poem The Epic of Gilgamesh
The story concerns a man named Utnapishtim and briefly is as follows:
The gods had become angry at mankind so they sent a flood to destroy them. The god Ea, warned Utnapishtim and instructed him to build an enormous boat to save himself, his family, and all living things. This he did and brought all of his relatives and all species of creatures aboard the vessel. The gods then brought rain which caused the water to rise for many days. When the rains subsided, the boat landed on a mountain, and Utnapishtim set loose first a dove, then a swallow, and finally a raven, which found land. After this the god Ishtar, created the rainbow and placed it in the sky, as a reminder to the gods and a pledge to mankind that there would be no more floods.
The entire epic may be found here and the flood story is in Tablet XI

Moses did get lost. The journey to the promised land by foot from Egypt takes less than a month. It took Moses 40 years.
It is quite possible Moses was led by Aliens who didn’t know their way either.

Many believe the pyramids were built by aliens. The Bible tells us Moses was in Egypt. Moses could have made Alien contact there.
