Do you think we could all just swim for 40 days and 40 nights?? Ridiculous.

oh yeah well if there was no flood than
1. how did the Grand Canyon and Mt. Everest form?
2. how did all those fossils get buried?
3. how did the dinosaurs and the other big animals all go extinct?
the facts don't add up, atheists!!

It never happened that gigantically like the bible describes. The ark would be cracked in half. I've always wondered how they drank fresh water, though.

1) No flood
2) Mt. Everest formed by plate tectonics.
3) fossils take a long, but variable, time to form. There was no flood a couple of thousand years ago that could do that.
4) The grand canyon was a small river flowing for a long time.
5) If that genesis stuff happened, then why does radiodating put the earth's age in the billions?

Sorry, but we don't even believe in the Biblical Flood.
BTW, Mt Everest formed when the tectonic plate India happened to be on collided with Eurasian tectonic plates.
The Grand Canyon formed through eons of erosion.
Fossils were formed when the bones of an animal decayed swiftly enough so that minerals replaced the calcium.
Dinosaurs were probably killed out by an asteroid.
Satisfied?

The flood wasn't global. People living in other parts of the world weren't affected. Moses exaggerated the story considerably.
1. how did the Grand Canyon
Colorado river washing through, for millions of years.
and Mt. Everest form?
A couple of continental plates bashing into each other formed the Himalayas
2. how did all those fossils get buried?
Lots of different ways, but it wasn't in a single worldwide flood.
3. how did the dinosaurs and the other big animals all go extinct?
Dinosaurs: Chicxulub meteor, killing half immediately and half through climate change.
Other big animals: A lot of them through overhunting and climate change.

No.I believe in the Ark.It was at least 20 miles long and about 6 football fields wide and about 40 stories tall because that is about how big it would need to be to have two of every creature on earth in it and was built by some guy who lived in the desert and had not experience building ships big enough to carry more passengers then 20 Titanic's.Yeah sure.Unless, oh wow, there was no flood that encompassed the Earth.What a thought.Hmmm

Ya know, if I don't believe in Noah's ark that also means I don't believe in the flood. The dinosaurs died from an asteroid collision and were buried with ashes, and before that just with sediment from flash floods. NOT the flood. The Grand Canyon was eroded by centuries of the Colorado River carving its way through it.

There was no flood. Simple.
Grand Canyon and Mt. Everest formed over millions and millions of years or erosion, earthquakes and possibly volcanoes.
The dinosaurs died in the ice age. My guess is that they were too big to hide away in caves and create warm nests so they died, while the smaller animals could hide from the cold...

It doesn't take a genius to realize there was no global flood. The necessary mass of water is about a tenth the mass of the Moon. There were probably numerous floods, worldwide at the end of the last Ice Age, 10,000 years ago. Some covered the entire known world of the pre-civilization peoples and led to the tales found in so many cultures.

Now that I've picked myself up off the floor from laughing...
There was some sort of flood, but it didn't cover the entire earth. It was actually a pretty small flood. There is no evidence at all that a flood covered the ENTIRE earth. It's a fictional story, just like most of the other stories in the Bible.

to answer you point by point
1. It is just as possible to swim for 40 days and nights as it is for it to rain for 40 days and night
2.3. the dinosaurs went extinct in the only global catastrophe with geological evidence, a comet or meteorite impact
Also if Noah had all of the animals on the Ark the dinos would NOT be extinct. the fossils were buried because according to science landforms change over millions of years .

Love, you've got to be very very very strong now: There never has been any flood at any time. At least not the flood you read about in the bible.
The grand canyon has been formed by Colorado River and Mt Everest by plate techtonics. Got it, darling?
