[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quiz for the Bible thumper, which version of the Bible (or gospel) was this translated from?

One day, a righteous man, performing his morning ritual by the water, found a tiny fish in his hands. The fish, surprisingly, spoke and pleaded for protection from the larger creatures in the river. Taking pity, the man cared for the fish, moving it from a small vessel to a larger one as it rapidly grew. Soon, the fish became too enormous for any container and eventually even the river itself.

As the man released the colossal fish into the ocean, the wondrous creature revealed its divine nature and warned of a devastating flood. It instructed the man to build a great ark, gather the seeds of all plants, and take pairs of all animals to preserve life. The wise one diligently followed these instructions.

When the rains came, the waters rose and consumed the world. The divine fish reappeared, its horn guiding the ark through the turbulent waves, eventually anchoring it on the highest mountain peak. After the waters receded, the man and the surviving creatures emerged to a new world. To repopulate the earth, the man performed a sacrifice, and, in some versions of the story, a woman appeared from the waters. Together, they became the ancestors of the new human race, signifying a fresh start and the cyclical nature of existence.[/quote]

I plugged in the first Paragraph above and AI gave me this:

Flood Myth: This story is a prominent flood myth within Hindu mythology, comparable to Noah's Ark in the Judeo-Christian tradition.

Preservation and Renewal: It symbolizes divine protection, the preservation of life, knowledge (the Vedas were often stolen and retrieved by Matsya in later versions), and the cyclical nature of creation and destruction.

First Avatar of Vishnu: Matsya is often considered the first of Lord Vishnu's ten primary avatars (incarnations), sent to Earth to restore balance and dharma (righteousness) when threatened.

So, the story you described is a well-known Hindu legend about the Matsya Avatar and Manu, highlighting themes of divine intervention, compassion, and the preservation of life in the face of cosmic events.[/quote]
