Hollow moon, metal discs, UFOs. It all adds up. But jokes aside, you are going to have to back your statements up with more than “… posted somewhere…saw it once…”

]]> Comment on Noah’s Ark by Earl Stanbridge http://whoyoucallingaskeptic.wordpress.com/2009/04/27/noahs-ark/#comment-964 Earl Stanbridge Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:51:01 +0000 http://whoyoucallingaskeptic.wordpress.com/?p=1465#comment-964 You say the Bible is confusing. I am not sure how much more clearly it can be on the account of Noah’s ark and the account of Noah and his family. You also say that it could not have rained for more than a week and that no one really knows how long it rained. In a way you a correct, because none of us were there on the day the rain started or on the day it stopped, but what we do have is the word of God and because God is the Creator of heaven and earth he can make it rain for forty days and forty nights. He was there, He made it happen, and He told us about it. The Bible says in GENESIS 6:17-18, “I (God) am going to bring Floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.” (NIV) And it goes on to talk about the covenant God made with Noah and with ALL people, including you and me. As to Mt. Judi, it is one of the “mountains of Aararat”. The Koran and scholars of Islam say the following things about the Flood: "So We inspired him (with this message): `Construct the Ark within Our sight and under Our guidance: then when comes Our command, and the oven gushes forth, take thou on board pairs of every species, male and female, and thy family- except those of whom the Word has already gone forth: and address Me not in favour of the wrong-doers: for they shall be drowned (in the Flood)." S. 23:27 At length, behold! There came Our Command, and the fountains of the earth gushed forth! We said: `Embark therein, of each two, male and female, and your family- except those against whom the Word has already gone forth,- and the believers.' But only a few believed with him." S. 11:40 "So We opened the gates of heaven, with water pouring forth. And we caused the earth to gush forth with springs. So the waters met (and rose) to the extent decreed. But We bore him on an (Ark) made of broad planks and caulked with palm-fibre: She floats under Our eyes (and care): a recompense to one who had been rejected (with scorn)!" S. 54:11-14 "And Noah said: `O my Lord! Leave not of the Unbelievers, a single one on earth! For if Thou dost leave (any of them), they will but mislead Thy devotees, and they will breed none but wicked ungrateful ones.'" S. 71:26-27 "Then the word went forth: `O earth! Swallow up thy water, and O sky! withhold (thy rain)! And the water abated, and the matter was ended. The Ark rested on Mount Judi, and the word went forth: `Away with those who do wrong!'" S. 11:44 Ibn Kathir writes: 'Ali bin Abi Talhah reported that Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, "There was no one left apart from the offspring of Nuh, peace be upon him." Sa'id bin Abi 'Arubah said, narrating from Qatadah ... "All people descended from the offspring of Nuh, peace be upon him." At-Tirmidhi, Ibn Jarir and Ibn Abi Hatim narrated from Samurah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet ... said concerning the Ayah ... ... ((Sam, Ham and Yafith.)) Imam Ahmad recorded from Samurah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah ... said ... ((Sam was the father of the Arabs, Ham was the father of the Ethiopians and Yafith was the father of the Romans.)) (Tafsir Ibn Kathir Abridged, Volume 8, Surat Al-Ahzab, Verse 51 to the end of Surat Ad-Dukhan, First edition: September 2000, pp. 262-263; bold emphasis ours) All these traditions taken from men such as Ibn Kathir, Ibn Abbas, and even Muhammad himself, clearly refute the modern …idea of a local flood. As to the Bible not being the original written book, nothing on this Earth was written prior to the Bible. The first chapter of the Bible was written and signed by the Creator Himself and given to Adam, who in turn wrote of his family history, and so on for a total of 11 “this is the history of”’s in the first book, Genesis, which, of course, Moses later compiled and edited and included in the Torah. Of course, ALL the Bible is from God, our Creator and Savior. My family will praying for you and yours. You say the Bible is confusing.
