I don't know what this proves or doesn't prove. It doesn't seem to say much other than people said it happened so therefore it must be so.

What makes a lot more sense is that Jesus said he was going to rise again in 3 days and then a few people claimed it happened. This happens all the time that people act as if a prophecy is fulfilled. It just simply doesn't make sense that this fundamental part of the faith would only be revealed to a few. Even in the ten commandments, Moses came down with the commandments and was already their leader.

We've got the Rosetta Stone, but never did find the original stones that the 10 commandments were written on, right?

Terrible commandments at any rate. The first ones are all about who's in charge: The Lord thy God.

They're inside the Ark of the Covenant. Indie found the Ark, but then it was boxed up and stored in a some non-descript government warehouse. I'm sure that Laura Loomer could start pressuring the government to "find" where it was stored and reveal them to humanity...

The evidence of flood and flood legends is strong corroboration of the position that the bible is mere mythology, and not even original mythology at that.

If you believe there was a literal global flood, despite all the evidence to the contrary, then there is no purpose in discussing it because you are in denial of clear facts.

I find it hard to believe there is a whole page of a forum of adults devoted to the flood myth. I guess my participation makes me (almost) as bad! lol

If you notice -- many of the people posting here don't believe the flood myth at all.

If you notice, I didn’t claim there was.

If you notice, i was pointing out that it is ridiculous to even discuss rationally, and I blamed myself for falling into the trap as well.

If you notice, being a snarky sh*t and using phrases like “if you notice” doesn’t help much.

If you notice.

You're much more snarky than the pp you're criticizing.
