masterskrain: Allegories, myths, parables, or some other truth in fictional form, because mere data is inadequate. Of course, so are some fairy tales. The trick is to get beyond the surface data and get the fact inside. Technical term: demythologizing.
Proof? The entire story is an insult to human intelligence like stories of virgin births, women springing fully formed from the ribs of men or being turned into salt, food falling from the desert sky. The propagators of these silly stories should have the burden of proof, except that they take it on “faith.” So question to believers in these tall tales; why should I have faith in stories handed down from thousands of years ago from ignorant, superstitions, primitive people? Isn’t your “faith” really just faith in the veracity of their stories?
What’s with Twitter when you can text message anyone anywhere anytime even w/o an i-phone, or pad. I do it from my computer and still just pick up the land line when I want to talk to someone.
But then, the Arks would not be floating ships, but rather compounds set above projected sea level rise. As the nations of the world drowned, their people scattering, you would be a smug doomsday prepper as the fields flooded and the population was decimated by plagues and famines while the global sea rise maintained an average rate of almost one foot per year for the better part of a millennium. All the art and science of the world would be lost, aside from what could be kept by the few who maintained small enclaves and kept whatever knowledge they could take with them alive by any means they had available.

Hmm. I would accept the end of twitter as a sign there really is a god. Either that, or 1 million free airlines points.

Noah did well because he stayed connected with God… on LinkedIn.

Twitter is remarkably easy to ignore. No reason to get rid of it, just don’t use it.

A one-L lama is a holy man. A two-L llama is a beast of burden. A three-L lllama is a big fire.

So are you saying “the Christ” of lore and legend was really a girl? That won’t sit well with the male dominated powers, will it?

Noah is correct here as Twitter is for Twits.
