Question: Why did animals have to die in the great flood?

I suspect several people sighed at this.The problem is that all you've got is written in your book. That's all there is. There is NOTHING else. The rest has to be made up. That's why it's possible to make aything up you like.The second sigh is because IT'S FICTION. Almost everybody here knows it's fiction so your question is exactly the same as asking why Ents aren't seen out and about more often. It gets tiresome and a bit embarassing having to point this out so regularly.

Like I say, you have your book. That's all you have. Make of it what you will - that's what's been done for millennia.You can't make sense of it unless you want to.Quoting chunks of if gets you nowhere because others can quote different chunks. What do you want to believe?Alternatively, you can look at what we actually KNOW.What we know tells us that there's never been a global flood and that all animal and plant life was not destroyed 4,000 years ago. If the flood had happened it would be evident - obvious and unmissable in the geological and biological record. But it isn't.Search all you like for answers in the Old Testament, but when is been proven to be fiction, you're not going to only find what you want to find. Just pick what you need.

Concentrate. We're talking about a global flood about 4,000 years ago. That's a matter of fact and evidence - there's absolutely nothing 'spiritual' about it.Even if true it would have been an act of barbarism unsurpassed by anything in human imaginingsSpiritual? For fuck sake, engage brain. And in return, I hope you get your mind back soon.Edited by Tangle, : No reason given.

And he got not a single answer - as he complained. I was pointing out why.Over to the truly puddled.

Science's position is that there is no evidence of a global flood in either the geological or biological record, period. The imaginary date of it is therefore moot. However, the concensus date as made up by creationist is around 4,000 years. If you have another imaginary date, it too will be irrelevant without your proof of it actually occurring. That proof does not include it being written in a book of fairy stories. Welcome creationtips.com - Hostmonster.comEdited by Tangle, : No reason given.

Why wasn't the Book of Enoch included in the mainstream Protestant versions of Bibles then? Not inspired I guess? Just another book not voted in by humans, I guess?

Might as well ask why The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe wasn't included in Lord of the Rings.
