Most likely caused by an asteroid striking a glacier in the polar region and instantly vaporizing cubic miles of ice into the atmosphere.I'm interested in the history of the deluge.(OPINION) CP – On last Sunday’s Meet the Press, NBC News anchor Chuck Todd read and endorsed a letter claiming that supporters of Donald Trump “want to be lied to” since they believe in “fairy tales” such as Noah’s ark.

Because when you are a leftist cold-blooded moron what else do you expect these mentally clipped idiots to say.

Sky-daddy fantasies, huh?I don't see the problem here.
Are you upset that Chuck doesn't buy into your sky-daddy fantasies?

No. It is an allegorical account of an actual event. The account was written that way to make it easier to remember and pass down.Is it not a fairytale?
Okay try English next time, I really don't want to hear a pussy roar. If that's what you are talking about.These are.These aren`t Democrats.And yet he believes Democrats are American. Go figure.

So? So some people are more creative at expressing their opinions than you are and have a talent for expressing themselves visually that you folks lack. How would you depict fundie repubs and their sexual ways and superstitions? Their adoration of the penis? Their desires to control and probe female genitalia?
It is an ancient people trying to explain the world around them given their poor knowledge of it several thousand years ago.It is, along with Adam and Eve. These are stories told to children and they`re really cool stories when your 4 years old.
And I'm sure you believe all of that junk.Sky-daddy fantasies, huh?I don't see the problem here.

The first five books of the Bible (known as the Torah) were recorded by Moses - an adopted son of the king of Egypt - in approximately 1400 B.C.. These five books focus on the beginning of the nation of Israel; but the first 11 chapters of the Torah records the history that all nations have in common. These allegorical accounts of the history of the world had been passed down from generation to generation orally for thousands of years. Moses did not really write the first 11 chapters of the Bible. Moses was the first Hebrew to record them.
Approximately 800 years before Moses recorded the allegorical accounts of the history of the world. The Chinese recorded this history as symbols in the Chinese language. They drew pictures to express words or ideas. Simple pictures were combined to make more complex thoughts. They used well known history and common everyday things to make a word so people could easily remember it. The account of Genesis found it's way into the Chinese written language because the Chinese had migrated from the cradle of civilization. Prior to this migration they all shared a common history and religion.
The Bible even explains how it was possible for the Chinese to record the account of Genesis 800 years before Moses recorded it. The account of the Tower of Babel was the allegorical account of the great migration from Mesopotamia. This also explains why all ancient cultures have an account of a great flood. Because they all shared a common history and religion before the great migration from the cradle of civilization.
So if you start from the belief that the first eleven chapters of the Torah are an allegorical account of world history before the great migration from Mesopotamia - which was an actual historical event - then the first eleven chapters of the Torah takes on new meaning. Seen in this light these accounts should be viewed less like fairy tales and more like how important information was passed down in ancient times. Just as the Chinese used well known history and everyday things as symbols in their written language to make words easier to remember, ancient man used stories to pass down historical events and important knowledge to future generations. Interspersed in these allegorical accounts of history are wisdoms that they deemed important enough to pass down and remember. Such as man knows right from wrong and when he violates it, rather than abandoning the concept of right and wrong he rationalizes he didn't do wrong. Most people don't even realize this wisdom is in the Torah because they read it critically instead of searching for the wisdom that ancient man knew and found important enough to include in his account of world history.
You have to keep in mind that these accounts are at least 6,000 years old and were passed down orally from one generation to the next for thousands of years. Surely ancient man believed these accounts were of the utmost importance otherwise they would not have been passed down for thousands of years before they were recorded in writing. You shouldn't view these accounts using the context of the modern world. Unfortunately, you are so far removed from these events that we have lost all original meaning and you have made no effort whatsoever in trying to understand them. If you were to ask almost any Jew what the Tower of Babel was about he would have no clue that it was the allegorical account of the great migration from the cradle of civilization. That is not intended to be a criticism. It is intended to be an illustration of just how difficult a task it is to discover the original meaning from ancient accounts from 6,000 years ago. You read these texts like they were written yesterday looking for ways to discredit them and make yourself feel superior rather than seeking the original meaning and wisdom. Shame on you.
Yes. I even provided the reasons why.And I'm sure you believe all of that junk.Sky-daddy fantasies, huh?I don't see the problem here.

Sorry, but I don't buy it.
Are you still leaving cookies and milk out for Santa?Shouldn't you be getting on Farrakhan's mothership about now?It is, along with Adam and Eve. These are stories told to children and they`re really cool stories when your 4 years old.Is it not a fairytale?

Hey, I remember him. He was the guy that was a really good President but then went and screwed around with ladies not his wife. Republicans pretended to get all riled up over character back then, but they don't do that anymore.No, Democrats gave us Bill Clinton
And there you have it...in sharp relief...American stupidity... If your intent was to prove Todd's reporting to be factual, well done...Believing in Noah's Ark requires far less faith than the liberal's belief in Global Warming. ...
Wouldn't a serious person understand all these myths were CORRECTED by Moses under actual revelation from GOD.The ark was a chest or something to put away things for safekeeping. Somewhat like a time capsule or a safe deposit box.Many societies that date from ancient times have flood stories that sought to explain a flood that occurred in the area between Europe and the Middle East. The Noah story is but one of them.
The story of the "Ark of the Covenant" has absolutely nothing to do with any flood story, even though the English version uses the same word. Orthodox Christians in Ethiopia claim to have it.
God had put eight people aside for safekeeping.
So some believe.
I would be interested in stories from across the world, not just the ME or Africa.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Christians have interesting stories, involving the Queen of Sheba, her visit to King Solomon, and the son that they made during this visit. It involves an island in the middle of Lake Tana, and so much more.
Yes other cultures carried the ORAL traditions but lost a lot and a lot got changed.
Of course Moses' revelation would have corrected these myths (that devolved from fact)
I.E., nearly 40% of Americans.Only a idiot would believe the story of Noahs ark is an actual event.
Its amazing to me that I figured out the story couldnt be true before I was in the 3rd grade and that there are adults that believe in it. Its weird how they ignore the obvious. First of all if it was true then Noah had to be Black and just who did the children have sex with to repopulate the planet?I.E., nearly 40% of Americans.Only a idiot would believe the story of Noahs ark is an actual event.
Todd was spot on.
Because it's nonsense. The Chinese characters thing particularly. Some dude in Texas makes an assumption based on wishful thinking and you taken it as gospel(pun intended)?Yes. I even provided the reasons why.And I'm sure you believe all of that junk.Sky-daddy fantasies, huh?I don't see the problem here.

You must be taking it on faith that what I wrote is wrong because you don't seem to be able to articulate the reasons why you believe what I wrote is wrong.
Same here. Asking questions about it got me kicked out of Catechism class, haha. I realized then that I knew more about basic, physical science than my pastor. And I was 12.Its amazing to me that I figured out the story couldnt be true before I was in the 3rd grade and that there are adults that believe in it. Its weird how they ignore the obvious.

Nope. I put in the work. Looked up the characters myself.Because it's nonsense. The Chinese characters thing particularly.
