  • Indeed. But those guys, well, they believed in the wrong book. Mr. Nice Guy's book is the right one, you see. Uh huh.

      • Let's pose the alternative question.

        If the expedition demonstrates conclusiveley that there is no sign whatsoever of any boat ever having been anywhere near the mountain what will the effect be on folk who like to take the (obviously) allegorical as literal?

          • Reminds me of all those expeditions to locate the site of the garden of Eden.

            Anyone try The English Passengers?

            Jolly good read, I thought.

              That's really not a worry.

                I'd give thanks to the gods for sparing Utnapishtim, I s'pose.

                  That was one of three questions that got me kicked out of a Baptist Sunday school when I was four.

                      Sure, two of every domesticated animal in the area would be logical to take aboard, too, and could easily, through generations of being passed down orally, get distorted into "two of every animal in the world."

                      • What about the insects? Two of every kind would make a considerable pile.

                            That's true. But you can also make all the wicked people disappear without going through all the trouble. Maybe you can even cause them to be good. Imagine that.

                            • Where did the water go? I wish I had the time and/or inclination to research for all you lazy asses, but it went underground.
                              As a matter of fact, that very question was addressed on ABC news program this morning.
                              That will give you a lead at least.

                                But that would be to mess with the peoples free will, we can't do that could we, that would be wrong. Instead, God gives people free will and kills them with extreme and brutal force when they do not behave as God wants them to behave. Big difference, much more moral.
