The full question posted to the Quora site was In the biblical account of Noah’s flood, it is said that God used it to wipe out the Earth especially the Nephilim, but how could they get wiped out if they were giants, that was much more taller than any flood could ever be?
Keith White, “Former Scientist” mind you, commented
The Great Flood is a fiction!
And the story of it in the Bible ISN’T even original – it was copied from previous non-Christian religious scriptures.
The oldest flood story is one of the earliest fictional stories known to man, The Epic of Gilgamesh.
Recorded on 12 stone tablets this is thought to be among the first pieces of literature in history.
I, Ken Ammi, replied
That, “The Great Flood is a fiction!” is a mere assertion, a positive affirmation without proof.
That, “the story of it in the Bible,” allegedly, “ISN’T even original – it was copied from previous non-Christian religious scriptures,” is a generic logical fallacy, another positive affirmation without proof, and evidences that there was a “Great Flood” since so many ancient cultures recorded it.
Keith White
Ummm – If “many” ancient cultures recorded a flood – then didn’t God’s plan to wipe out all the sinners – other than Noah and his family – kind of fail?
And YOUR assertion that “The Great Flood” and “Noah and his Ark” are real – it is YOU that needs to provide proof – not for me to provide proof that something DIDN’T happen.
WTF is wrong with your fervent religious nutters that you don’t get that?
Ken Ammi
Friend, you seem to be suffering from some psycho-emotional problems.
I see you found an illogical way of running away from your positive affirmation without proof.
In that case, a best practice is to not make positive affirmation you can’t prove.
You also ran away from your generic logical fallacy.
Do logical fallacies matter on your worldview?
There’s no “If” about it: many ancient cultures recorded a flood.
Thereafter, that commonly known history was just that: commonly known history.
Keith White
I see – and all of this tripe from someone who believes in an imaginary Deity?
Ken Ammi
Let’s take stock:
You ran away from, “you found an illogical way of running away from your positive affirmation without proof.”
You ran away from, “You also ran away from your generic logical fallacy.”
You ran away from, “Do logical fallacies matter on your worldview?”
You ran away from, “many ancient cultures recorded a flood.”
And since you find yourself literally incapable for dealing with actual issues, you pull out the Atheist 101 tactic of being childish and running away.
You see that your worldview has utterly collapsed, it’s such an utter failure that it left you literally incapable of doing anything but being childish but rather then rebelling against it, you cherish it—“my precious!”—and keep going.
Very well then, you just positively affirmed that I believe in, “an imaginary Deity” so where is your proof? Also, what, on your worldview, would be wrong with an accidentally existing ape believing in, “an imaginary Deity”? Oh, and do you believe in the common ancestor?
That brought the discussion to and end as no more replies were forthcoming from the former scientist.
