Hello Everybody,

What caused Noah's Flood?

If it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, would the entire
world really be flooded?

And how long would it take for all that water to drain, so
there would be dry land again?

Hello, Lee!

Friday February 04 2022 20:09, from Lee Lofaso -> ALL:

What caused Noah's Flood?

I haven't read the news that all other fido echoes have reduced to just one fidonews. Is it kinda, sorta offtopic in anyway, anybody? Cause for me it is.

If it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, would the entire
world really be flooded?

Well, obviously, it's all about Jewish fairy tales.

Best Regards, Nil

The better question is where did that water drained to after the flood?
The best answer -- the water had returned to where it was taken. ;-)

Unlikely as it sounds to the critical reader, the story of Noah's Ark and the massive floods should not be discounted out of hand.

Perhaps some things happenedm but in a different way.

As many know I spent years and years of my life in Montana (although Sean Dennis claims I hate the USA) and something which I discovered there and learned about is "Glacial Lake Missoula".

In short, towards the end of the last ice age a humongous chunk of ice blocked the outflow of what we now know as the Clark Fork river and a massive lake started forming which eventually had the size of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario combined which easily can be considered "seas". When, after filling, due to sheer magnitude of the built-up water pressure, the ice plugs collapsed, the Glacial Lake Missoula emptied in less thab a week ... in size this was like the Northsea ... It happened like 12.000 years ago. In excavations no human remains were found but native oral history mentions the event before scientific evidence became available, so it may have been observed by humans. And Glacial Lake Missoula was not unique.

So, let's take the old testament of the bible ... perhaps there has indeed been a kind of a glacial lake as well somewhere near the middle east and people became enclosed on an island and had to built a large enough vessel to save themselves and their animals from drowning ...

These were the heydays of the flat earth society and perhaps little did they know it was not the sea, covering the whole world, which was rising but only the water in a gigantic pre-historic lake.

The rest could be the result of creative writing by the scribes whom penned the text ... Let's not just discount the story of a massive large-scale flood ... after all, the Glacial Lake Missoula filled like 40 times over a large span of time.

And weird things of biblical nature have been reported and are believed as well, for example that Christ after his death did not ascend to heaven but took-off like a rocket and was injected into a ballistic trajectory taking him to North America with an ease that would make NASA and Elon Musk jealous ... at least that's what the Mormons say ...

Hello Nil,

What caused Noah's Flood?

I haven't read the news that all other fido echoes have reduced to just one
fidonews. Is it kinda, sorta offtopic in anyway, anybody? Cause for me it is.

The Fidonews is an anything goes kind of echo. That way, all topics
are covered, with nothing being offtopic.

If it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, would the entire
world really be flooded?

Well, obviously, it's all about Jewish fairy tales.

What Jewish fairy tales? The events of a worldwide flood are
embedded in stories from every culture on Earth, predating the
time when there was a religion called Judaism. The Gilgamesh
records this worldwide flood, as do other writings around the
world.

The story you are referring to is the 40 days and 40 nights
story as being the cause of Noah's Flood. I think you and others
would agree that such a rainstorm would not be enough to cause
a worldwide flood in which there would be no land to stand on.

Yet the stories in every culture say such a worldwide flood
is a fact of our past. My question is can there be a scientific
explanation for this? Is it possible for there to have been an
actual worldwide flood with water covering the entire Earth?
And if so, how could that have happened?

Have you heard of the Black Sea Flood hypothesis? The Bosporous straight was a wall which seperated the (then much smaller)
Black Sea from the mediterranean. It is hypothesised that that wall broke, and water from the Mediterranean flooded into the
then smaller Black Sea to fill to to the current levels it is today.

As there may have been settlements around then, they would have been quickly inundated over a period of days or weeks as the
Black Sea filled and met the level of the Mediterranean.
These people have have told stories of this, which became stories of the Great Flood.

It sounds probable, although such tales are known around the world.
Actually, something extra ordinary happened 12-14 thousand years ago,
and the event changed the Earth completely. Enough to say about mammoths
who happily had lived for tens million of years and suddenly died just a second ago, according the historical scale.

The Christ's take-off was IMHO the least of the miracles from the Bible.

If it was a "world-wide" flood, where would the water drain to?

You have to remember, that the Christian bible is just a collection of written-down memories by the Jews that were released from the Babylonian captivity in the 6th century BC.

A collection of what they remembered from the Sumerian history books. And since they couldn't read the cuneiform tablets they had to rely on what they heard about it. And they loved the idea that they could tweak the stories they were told to fit into their monotheistic ideas.

The "Flood" was actually the flooding of the Mesopotamia after the outlet of melt-water from the enormous basin where Canada now is, into the ocean, that raised the ocean level by an estimated 50-100 m circa 10k years ago. And Mesopotamia, the cradle of civilisation located around Euphrates and Tigris (modern day Iraq), was totally drowned.

Despite frantic attempts by Christian fanatics to prevent us from finding, saving, and worst of all translating, those Sumerian history books, many enough scientist managed do do it anyway. What those heroes had to withstand is another chapter, but includes accusations of heresy and worse.

So now we know. Yeah, at least well those who trust science more than we trust Tucker Carlson...
