[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to Catholic school for k-12, and we were taught that a "year" was calculated differently by the people who wrote about Noah's age.  "Year" did not mean the same thing then as it does today, to us.

That being said, I'm an agnostic who is 99% sure there is no God, but I still believe that yes, these myths have a basis in truth, in some way, especially because the flood story appears in many cultures.  There was some person, at some time, who for whatever reasons drew enough attention to be spun into mythological status by those who repeated the tale over and over through generations.[/quote]

And I say, so what "that these myths have a basis in truth"?  There is still no God.  When these myths were first started, we did't know anything about science.  Now we do and still there are people who believe in these crazy myths.  Why? because they are afraid to die.

Not many people believe myths to be solidly true history -- even our history as recorded isn't solidly true. But in any case, some people use stores to guide them in their lives. That's OK.[/quote]
