The explanation is simple, it's lost. Just cuz we can't find doesn't mean it doesn't exist, similarly we can't find thousands of ships and planes but we no they exist. I personally believe it's most likely in the depths of the oceans.


There was never a time wen God destroyed the whole world.

What I said is evidence cuz if there was a flood we would expect to find billions of fossils of dead plants and animals buried and fossilized in sand, mud, and lime that were deposited rapidly by water in rock layers all over the earth which is exactly what we find.

We would also expect to find fossils of sea creatures in rock layers around the world which is also exactly what we find.

Ps I'm not saying this proves the bible flood but can be used to support it.

IS THAT WHAT YOU REALLY FEEL IS THE EVIDENCE OF GLOBAL BIBLE FLOODING. AHH SORRY.


WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE FOR NON BIBLICAL FLOODINGS THAT HAPPENED SOME THOUSANDS OF YEARS OR EVEN MILLIONS.

IF THAT IS AN EVIDENCE IN YOUR EYEZ, IT ISN'T IN THE FINDINGS OF RELEVANT PEOPLE IN THE FIELD MEANT TO STUDY SUCH PHENOMENON.

As I said it's not proof but neither can people prove there was no flood. Just cuz we can't find Noah ark doesn't prove the flood never happen.

Of all the stories in the bible, the story of Noah and his ark has to be the most compelling and also the most probable to have left evidence. However, the ark has never been found despite the fact that it was big enough to contain all the animals in the world.

Christians, do you have any explanation for this?


what do you think happened to it?

or do you feel it should be found just like dinosaur bones.

THEN IT IS IRRELEVANT MAINTAINING THE NOTION THAT IT ABSOLUTELY HAPPENED SINCE THERE IS NO SUBSTANTIATIVE EVIDENCE THAT SUCH PHENOMENON TOOK PLACE OR THAT IT IS EVEN PLAUSIBLE.

Lol. If you don't answer my question don't expect me to answer yours. I have had it with theists on this forum throwing questions that keep discussions, arguments to you and your like, going around in circles while at the same time refusing to answer questions presented to them. undecided

Perhaps your god needs to create a nairaland account so he can defend himself because you guys are doing a really bad job and you only make it look more and more ridiculous grin

Wrong just cuz sumthing can't be prove doesn't mean we should stop believing it.

If people want us to stop believing in the flood they should prove it wrong not ask us to prove it to them.

Why ain't you a Buddhist since no body have proven such to be false.

It is your belief and you are the ones that keep throwing it in our faces. You say your god is real and we say, "prove it". Why should i bother to prove something you believe in? undecided

Wrong again Christianity existed before u atheists came along, u are the ones who need to prove us wrong not ask us to prove our beliefs to u.

Nope. Everyone is born an atheist before someone starts feeding or passing down lies to them.

Besides, Christianity is still young compared to other religions such as Buddism and even then atheists existed. Yahweh/Jehovah is actually a very young god. You should google it or ask johnnydon22, he's the religious expert around here wink

Once again, you guys are the ones disturbing us to believe in your imaginary friends. So, you have to prove to us why.

Lol I would love to see a survey showing that there are millions of atheists born everyday.

An atheist is someone who believes there is no God not a baby who doesn't even no wat God means.

Exactly!

A baby doesn't know till he/she is told. One cannot believe what one has no knowledge of. Get it? You are a product of the culture or family you are born into. If your parents were Buddhists you would probably not give your religion a second thought.

So, when you believe in something and you decide to convince someone else to believe in it you owe it to the person to prove why he/she should believe it.

I see you conveniently skipped and ignored to address that your religion is young. I am assuming you are a Christian. Before Jesus said, "love your neighbor as you love yourself", as claimed in the bible Confucius already said that just as many older religions before yours taught their people to love each other.

Ensure you address this point in your reply. I'd like to know what you think about it. smiley

I didn't address Christianity being a young religion cuz I don't see what that has to do with the discussion.

Also u wrong wen u say babies born atheists.
Cuz no one's no wat a baby believes or is thinking.
Re: If The Bible Contains Truth, Why Has Noah's Ark Never Been Found? by Richirich713: 6:45pm On Oct 09, 2015
If my parents were Buddhists yes I wud have most likely also been a Buddhist. But how does this support a atheist. Cuz if u r parents were atheists u wud have most likely have been a atheist since a young age.

All this proves is parents influence their children.
This in no way proves there's no God.

I think you should know enough about fossils before commenting. Fossils of dead plants and animals are not evidence for a supposed biblical flood. It is only evidence that said plants and animals were buried over (by other dead plants, or animals, or any generic floods) and thereafter fossilized. Also, the biblical flood supposedly happened less than 6500 years ago, which is too short a time frame for the fossilization process to have occurred.

In addition, most of the fossils we find today were created around 300 million years ago, a time when bacteria and fungi hadn't evolved enough to be able to digest dead plants and organic matter, and as a result these buried organic matter were intact enough to fossilize over time.

If you are curious about being more informed about science and cosmology, you should watch "Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey" by Neil deGrasse Tyson. It has several extremely informative episodes. Watch it with a curious and open mind, and you would love it and learn enough to make informed comments about fossils. You could also just go read about it online. The resources are endless.

But your post sounds gleefully ignorant sha.

U right fossils are not proof for the flood but then again it's not proof against the flood.

If atheists can't prove there was no flood they shouldn't criticize christians who believe in something they can't prove.

Atheists criticize christians for something they can't prove yet they believe in stuff they can't prove.

That's just double standards.

I agree with you, the greeks are unmatched in eloquence and imaginative constructiveness of colourful myths.

their proficiency in poetic literature and outstanding storylines is very wonderful.

I enjoy Egyptian myths too, Sumerian myths are well written too, i love the names Enkidu, Aridu, Humbaba, it almost sounds African..

African myths are wonderfully colourful too, imaginatively sound and morally useful too..

These myths are relics of the ancient world, they should be taught and enjoyed as myths and legends that they are not taught and believed as truth as many has been made to believe ...

Its quite sad seeing Africans who are ignorant of their own local legends and myths here dragging over foreign myths.. Jewish and Arabic mythology..

its just too sad... We are free from colonial masters but still attached to them







psychological through their greatest weapon.. Murder of our own religion and replace it with theirs

Noah's Ark was found, the villagers used it for firewood and the remaining animals for food, that is why we are missing some idiots in the 21st century grin grin

While I can understand your frustration at non-theists' assertions that Noah's flood didn't exist, I don't follow your line of argument that it must be materially disproved before it can be considered implausible.

The story of the flood is implausible because Noah supposedly collected male and female of every species on the ark. There are millions of species of animals on earth, some microscopic and some extremely large. To be objective, do you really think Noah went around the earth to collect two of every of these millions of species?

Even with all the scientists in the world today, there are still millions of animal species that we haven't discovered. How is it possible for one man, Noah, to have collected male and female of millions of species on earth? This is such an extraordinarily enormous claim that is at best fishy (trying so hard to be objective here). This is why such a story is considered false unless proved or unless a credible rational argument is presented on its behalf.

As a result, the burden of proof is on those who claim that the flood actually happened, not on those who consider it mythical.
