Genesis was not written for a thinking man.

A thinking man would ask, "Who impregnated Eve's daughters?"

Good thoughts. But. In those days the earth was one land mass and the human population was mostly in one or maybe two concentrated areas. The animals were not gathered. They were sent by God to the Ark. People really can't comprehend the power of God. The ark was as big as the Bible tells us. All species of animals were able to fit in the vessel because God can do all things. It may have rained for 40 days and 40 nights but the Earth literally opened up and brought the water. People should take the Bible literal. Im a believer. My faith is entirely dependent on Jesus Christ and what the Bible says. The Bible tells us there were wicked people on the earth and nephilm who were corrupting the human race genetic code, so he destroyed all mankind. If the Bible says it happened, then it happened. No questions asked.

Just remember this. God can do all things and never question the almighty. He is the ultimate judge in the end and we will all stand before him! That's an absolute truth. Amazing to me how many people in this world are lost and spiritually dead or blind. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light. Believe and repent now!

HE is God, we are not,

Christ himself said "as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man". So Jesus believed in Noah and the Ark

You might think a bit more. If you reject Genesis as part of God’s infallible word, then ok.

If you are trying to make sense of who’d impregnate Eve’s daughters in the context of the rest of the book, then you’d know Adam and Eve had many sons and daughters, grandchildren, great-grands, many nieces and nephews, etc.

Adam lived over 900 years, and Eve presumably very long also..think of the exponential population growth.

Thus there was a lot intermarriage among their progeny and their progeny's’ progeny.

Yet Leviticus speaks plainly about the results of incest.

"Good thoughts. But. In those days the earth was one land mass and the human population was mostly in one or maybe two concentrated areas."

So 6,000 years ago, you believe Pangea was the single land mass on the planet?

How did Adam and Eve have nephews and nieces?

Most likely, planet is moving all the time.

A generation ago that approach mighta worked for most, but it clearly ain’t workin’ anymore. Not nowadays. The Internet makes information easy to come by and most people nowadays don’t just automatically trust what they hear from a pastor. The Internet means folks can learn about anything, anytime, anywhere. And folks do. But in most churches nowadays, a lotta people still behave like this isn’t the case.

A generation ago most folks simply trusted what they heard from their local pastor. In some cases, the local pastor was one of the most educated and most listened to people in the community, and certainly in the life of those who attended church regularly.

But today most of the folks who attend church…and everyone the Christian Church is trying to reach…has googled their way to an opinion and a position on almost everything. They’ve binge listened to the New Atheists and a host of other skeptics, and come to you with pre-formed opinions on almost everything.

It ain’t just goin’ away to college that crumbles people’s faith anymore. Many teenagers and young adults have YouTubed their way to their own views and positions on God, Jesus, the Christian Church, and spirituality.

All of these different and strongly held views and positions likely don’t hold water. But that still doesn’t stop people from holdin’ em’.

I agree. Wholeheartedly.

Or He coulda simply been referring to the analogy and metaphor of Noah and the Ark to make His point.

Regardless, one’s salvation does NOT depend on believing literally in Noah and the Ark. And following Jesus does NOT depend on believing literally in Noah and the Ark either.

you can believe the Sumerian Flood story or the Greek Flood story or Hindu Flood story or Chinese Flood story........no, i do not believe in any story.

Covtards "don't believe" the Bible, but believe in an invisible boogey virus.

All ya need ta know.

"In the last days scoffers shall come, walking according to their own lusts"

The real question is not do you believe the story of Noah’s Ark, but do you believe in Jesus birth, walking the earth as a human, death, and resurrection. Either you believe and will receive eternal life or not.

The Christian Church has always had to evolve as Science provided newly found facts which had to be embraced.

The Church has always resisted that evolution, but eventually come to terms with the facts.

When is the last time you heard a Priest claim the Earth was flat, or that the Earth, or even that the Sun was the center of the Universe.

The difference today is that Science is discovering facts faster than any time in history and those facts are being propagated across the face of the Earth faster than ever before. The human race is more educated than ever before in History.

That makes people less susceptible to embracing folk lore and fairy tales.

You place this here as if one should be ashamed to have written it. Laughing here!
Which part of that would you claim to be untrue?

Was Covid not doubling every four days?

Did not many people never know they had it?

Were those people not contagious?

There are none so blind as those who will not see. grinning here!
