1) Everyone on Earth was killed in the flood.
​
MUST that logically mean babies?
​
Gee...this could lead somewhere.
​
The flood killed everyone on Earth....but babies weren't mentioned...so they weren't killed.
​
Lets take that further.
Hmmm...men weren't mentioned specifically either...so they weren't killed.
Women weren't mentioned specifically...so they weren't killed.
And specific animal species weren't mentioned outright...so no specific animal species were killed...therefore no animals were killed.
​
Therefore, according to the Bible, nothing was killed by a flood that covered the Earth.
​
Well Mike....for once I agree with you and now the Bible agrees with the evidence in the rocks...Thank you!!!

We're apathetic anarchists...we don't care who we blow up!

Does everyone - in the scripture, mean Noah and his family?
​
Genesis 7:23 N(on)I(nspired)V(ersion): "Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; men and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds of the air were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark."(emphasis mine)
​
Mike, It would seem that I was wrong...the men were "wiped out"; no women or children though. Unless you want to say that particular men weren't mentioned, like John Doe...or the Egyptians...so maybe they weren't wiped out.
​
Hmmm...perhaps that explains why the Egyptians didn't seem to notice the flood.
​
Seriously, any babies that were killed in any of the genocides mentioned above would have been innocent. So, they would have gone right to paradise. That's a much better place than on Earth. Plus they didn't have to worry about paying for that first sin that they didn't have a chance to commit.
