He didn't. The only animals that were included on the Ark were those that were native to Mesopotamia. Penguins and polar bears lived in colder climates in other parts of the world.

I agree that the flood was not global. It covered the entire known world, Mesopotamia. Animals that were included on the Ark were those indigenous to the middle east. The Ark landed on the mountains of Ararat, not far from where it started.

What was the purpose then the peoples and animals in the Americas weren't bothered then???

The purpose of life is life itself. God created us because he was lonely and it is his purpose for all of us to enter Heaven when we die, and ultimately to take part in the resurrection with God. The righteous meek will inherit the earth. And it's not that hard. All we have to do is repent of our sins. This is a four step process. Remorse, confession, restitution, and most importantly, change.

The earth is so tiny and insignificant in the scheme of the cosmos, that to find it in that scheme would like looking for a single grain of salt at the bottom of a haystack as large as the earth itself. Why so much attention at something so insignificant and infinitesimally small

Don’t be a drama queen. Thats not what I said. I don’t care what the majority thinks. I don’t want to be on the wide road with them.

Susan said Jesus spoke more about punishment than heaven.

I think you've got me confused with somebody else. Jesus was all about loving people, forgiving your enemies and turning the other cheek.

You're not keeping up. The flood was local, affecting the cradle of civilization, or Mesopotamia. Most animals are only native to certain continents. Human life was confined to the middle east. It was God's purpose to k**l off human beings, not animals. This was because they were desperately wicked children of Adam/Satan. They chose to follow him rather than God/Eve. Genesis 3:16. "...and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee". God started over again with a righteous man and his family.

There were no people in the Americas at that time. There were animals that were indigenous to the Americas, like the buffalo. It was Gods purpose to k**l off human life because they were wicked. All humans lived in the middle east at the time of the flood.

The earth was created as a habitat for mankind. We were created in the physical likeness of God. God basically reproduced himself because he was lonely. God has always planned on living on earth as the King of the Universe. He is also our Judge and Lawgiver. As far as God is concerned, Earth is the center of the Universe.

No according to the religious the earth is the center of the universe. The Church once taught that the earth was flat and square, and if you walked to the ends of the earth you could fall off of it. The sun rose then fell and went under the earth and the sky was a big dome that kept all the water out. Science made those concepts a joke but bronze and iron age people believed it. The universe was an estimated 9 billion years old when the sun and is planets, asteroids, comets, and moons were formed out of the gas dust and debris from older exploded stars. The carbon manufactured in the heat and pressure in their cores is the basis of life on Earth With out the early stars there would be no carbon in the universe and therefore no life on earth

There have been people in North and South America for over 12,000 years.

How can you even say that with presumably a straight face?!

Mythology like Alchemy had it's place in an illiterate world. Cultural Leaders needed to preserve t***hs, religion, and the collective memories of various groups of peoples in the Ancient World. It was a way of keeping a cultural identity alive.

Rather like our American Westerns and WW2 movies preserve an identity for future generations. Not 100 % accurate, but certainly more accurate than today's l*****t view of the future.

Since we are speaking of historical accuracy, please explain how the story of the Hyksos, who were a conquering population over Egypt, could possibly evolve into the story of the Israelis who were s***es in Egypt ?

I am waiting.

American peoples, which were called Indians, came from Siberia. They predate the arrival of white Europeans. They crossed the Bering Strait and migrated to the south and east into the Americas. They were descendants of Japheth, the eldest son of Noah.

Most ancient civilizations have a flood story and they are all alike. This is because it is a fact. It happened!

So, if the flood from Gigadesh's epic, then certainly the flood came BEFORE Gigadesh. You win this round Susan.👍👍👍👍👍

So you think all the races and cultures on the planet today are descendants of the 8 people on Noah’s supposed ark?

Most of us do.
