Message 1271310 - Posted: 13 Aug 2012, 23:16:59 UTC - in response to Message 1271145.  

the bible states that it was to wipe away the wickedness of the world. Noah and his family were found to be the only truly good people left on earth.

That being said, God has done similar things to the Hebrews. Like when Moses First went to the Mountain and received the commandments. He destroyed the tablets and god destroyed the idol worshipers.


Does that indicate that we are not as wicked as they were before Noah? Perhaps wickedness comes with old age, now that we have much shorter lives than they did back in the times of Genesis, we just can't get up to the sorts of things they used to do.

I.D., that is an example of me being disingenuous, in this case for comic effect.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

Even if we accept that this is an image of Samson fighting a lion:



So what? Do images of Heracles indicate that he was an historical character as well?

thats the best lion they could draw? For all I know it could be a horse.
