There was a man named Noah, who built an ark. His building of the ark, and his entering into it, delivered him from the flood.
Two thousand years ago another man- the last Adam- stated that He would build His church and that if we let Him, He would make us the materials for this.
The flood is coming. It’s time to find and enter the lifeboat. There is no more time to argue about icebergs, or plumbing, or to compare staterooms.
There is no credible evidence to suggest that Noah and his small family lived through a global flood. There is only evidence, both historically and geologically, that a large, centralized deluge flooded portions of Mesopotamia and Western Asia.
Throughout the centuries we've heard that there is going to be an apocalypse. Everyone has been wrong, including Jesus' first-generation followers who thought very clearly that the End Times would be in their generation.
What evidence is there that would insinuate that we're facing "another flood?" I don't even know if you are euphemistically speaking about a flood since God clearly said that he would never again flood the earth in Genesis.

He says before becoming a christian he was a big UFO fanatics, even going around and doing work for UFO-searching groups etc.
That explains a lot. It's a matter of wanting things to be true versus the way they really are.
He came to christianity because he noticed that in there was a recurrent theme in all the abductee stories he was getting from a lot of people. Christians were almost never abducted and amongst those that did get abducted, if they happened to say 'Jesus' during the experience it would stop.
And do you believe this?

I've read something, somewhere, sometime that if you could get them to say their names backwards they'll return to the fifth dimension.
One of the unsolved mysteries of R&B is how, in 1980, Florence LaRue got Ron Townson to say is name backwards.

You are now a million miles away from where you were in space-time when you started reading this sentence.

NOT!
Nothing to do with UFO's b 4: saw obvious correlation. Same post to each of 4 forums I was communicating in. If that is spam, coyote, then guilty. This is my final and only post. When those events happen, then maybe you will reconsider. It didn't take Noah over 100 years to build the ark. It took that long for him to make sure everyone of his generation heard the warning- so that they would be without excuse. So also yourselves. Bye, got a church/ark to help build, so this age can be wrapped up.

You sure seem to want to believe in everything except science, yeah met your type many times.
Also, since we are discussing critical thinking, have you ever considered using a library? They loan books for free, and you can take my word for it, I happen to be the college dean of a few myself.

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.

Bye
Another one bites the dust.
Oh BTW did you know Brian May, lead guitarist for Queen has a doctorate in Astrophysics?
Alas, we do not know his opinion concerning the connection between the 'little greens' the 'grays' the 'Victorian faeries' bizarre Biblical interpretation, and some semblance of reality.
But as he is an astrophysicist, even more than as a musician, I have my best guess.

No where in the bible does it say that. This is completely invented from old tradition.

Alright, see you in the retirement home when you're still here wondering why you're still here
