Carson sees a political significance to Noah’s Ark

[Davros]

I think it was a joke. Unless Carson is claiming the God himself has given him the plans for how to build a presidency, in which case he is crazy.

Carson sees a political significance to Noah’s Ark

< By some credible metrics, Ben Carson is the current frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination. Recent polling shows him leading not only at the national level, but also in the first caucus state.

The problem – one of them, anyway – is that Carson also seems manifestly unqualified to be president of the United States. He’s never sought or held elected office; he has no working understanding of government; and he’s never led anything larger than a medical department.

The retired right-wing neurosurgeon is aware of these concerns and, late last week, offered a striking response: “It is important to remember that amateurs built the Ark and it was the professionals that built the Titanic.”

It was unclear whether Carson was kidding. It’s entirely possible that the Republican candidate believes, sincerely, that Noah’s Ark was an actual, real-world structure that housed thousands of pairs of animals. He might even genuinely believe that the boat’s supposed existence is evidence of his presidential qualifications.>

Just say NO to the religious fundie!!!! Not just no, BUT FUCK NO!!!! There never was a Noah's ark and it is dumb that he is talking about it

There may well have been a Noah's Ark, but it would have been a smaller boat that housed a few of the local animals for a flood that covered a small part of the world. As many of the stories in the Bible, they are stories based on tales that probably began with a bit of truth, maybe a lot of truth but were exaggerated or completely altered over time. Other than that, I do agree with you. Putting Carson in the White House would not be the end of the world, but the US government would function much worse than it does now, because not even the Republicans in Congress would work with that nut job.

Yeah I saw that tv show too. The much smaller ark was picked up & washed away down a normally dry sand wash during a bit of a gully washer. The people aboard skipping out on unpaid debts

Carson needs a time machine to take him back to the 12th Century where he'll truly be happy.

Atheist liberal scumbags have just about ruined this country. How could he possibly do any worse?

 

[guno]

Ya mean, Carson feels that there's political significance to God sparing some human life, despite the Progressivism common to period, causing him to destroy 99.999999~% of humanity?


Huh... I wonder why?

Cause God done killed 99% of humans before progressives were around...

Foolish, unviable, perversion (OKA: Progressivism) has been around since before Cain killed Able, dumbass.

Oy vey another cross groveling moron who thinks the mythical arc has anything to do with anything

It's a nifty comparison I'll give him that. Unfortunately it's not true. God designed the ark and Noah assembled it. That's as good as it gets. Hardly an 'amateur' project.

Wish people talking about such things would do us a favor and flip through a Bible first though so they're not repeating the Bible for Dummies version. Ark only had pairs of unclean animals.

"King James Bible
Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female."

Infinitely more unbelievable when you know what the hell you're talking about.

 

[AvgGuyIA]

It's allegory.

 

[Delta4Embassy]

It's allegory.

I don't think so. An allegory doesn't need to have such specific descriptions of dimensions, and numbers of animals. Reads more like a literal historical claim.

 

[AvgGuyIA]

Isn't what Carson said an allegory? He's making a complex concept for a liberal to understand, understandable.

Another libtard movie reference, my Gawd.

Look, there was a civilization that lived along the Black Sea coast before the Bosporus straights opened up, it being blocked by a glacier. As Global Temperatures warmed up, the glacier melted enough to let the higher waters of the Meditereanean in and it flooded the Black Sea coastline. The ruins of homes and barns are still visible from underwater crafts today.

Noah, may have been a man who somehow got the idea that his society was so corrupt that God was going to destroy it by a flood, and maybe he got that idea from some travelers who passed the Bosporus and observed how things were going there. Noah built the Ark to save his herd and working animals to start over. Classic Apocolyptic tale.

 

[JimBowie1958]

I don't think so. An allegory doesn't need to have such specific descriptions of dimensions, and numbers of animals. Reads more like a literal historical claim.

Then why are the dimensions to the ARk the ratios for a powered vessel instead of a flotaing nonpowered vessel? A flotaing vessel would be either round or squarish shaped, but his was shaped like a powered vessel that would have a sail or rowers.

I think someone added those dimensions later drawing from the shape of ships of their time, but of much larger scale.

What does god have to do with politics???

What does the myth of global warming have to do with politics?

How so?

And please, be at least as specific, as your intellectual limitations, allow.

Yes... But such is the nature of Evil.

Doctor Carson will be a brilliant President. But so would any American. As Americans have no tolerance for Political Correctness, thus no desire to treat Leftists, as relevant to the governance of a viable culture.

I think this demonstrates why anti-goverment conservatives are so awful at governing: they have no use for competence, experience or knowledge. And they don't believe in government.

When you know nothing about government and don't believe in it....its hardly surprising you suck at governance.

According to the Torah, God spoke to Noah. Even Carson isn't claiming that God speaks to him.

Breaking Carson's analogy utterly.

Dr. Carson shows no particular understanding of the job he's seeking. Nor does he have any experience that would be remotely relevant. He's never lead anything larger than a medical department. And demonstrates no particular leadership skills.
