Noah’s reboot didn’t work 🤷♂️
Aside from the obvious many inconsistencies, I like to mention the main flaw in Noah’s ark being saltwater and freshwater fish. The flood was either fresh or salt, so one of those two types of fish would need to have been stored on the ark to survive. No mention of that, of course.
That’s the main flaw??
I humbly disagree.
‘Aside from the many obvious inconsistencies’ were my first words.
Actually, both types of fish species needed to be stored
Big regions of saltwater and freshwater could stay separate, ane on many places on earth they do. No need to go that far to debunk that fable.
The bible describes a global flood that covers the highest mountains, so that would not be possible. All freshwater would be subsumed by salt water.
Could be regional flooding. He probably didn’t hit the Chinese at the same time. Not like Noah was well versed in global maps. Dude only saw where he was was flooded.
Or God put all the freshies in stasis cause God can make a flood and does w/e whenever.
Could also be pirate space monkeys came and saved all the fish and then returned them after. It’s really fun to make up situations where the fish didn’t die in the story. We can even give Noah a staff and special powers as long they justify our view of the world.
Noah’s reboot didn’t work
A goat-farmer who piled all his livestock on a raft when the river flooded, and whose story has been embellished so much it’s nothing like the original? That Noah?
Irving Finkel says it’s a coracle, and he wouldn’t lie to me.
None of this is binding yet! Call your local seraphim to let them know that you would like to stay alive!
Oh, dear, did you all not receive notice about the new bypass?

According to some religions, the whole world will come to an end sooner or later. Actually, even physics/cosmology says so.
“things end” isnt exactly an insightful statement

I feel inclined to point out that even in the context of Christian myth, God said he would destroy the world again with fire after “Noah’s reboot” (actually God’s reboot, he just spared Noah), he just said he wouldn’t use water next time. This isn’t really a shower thought so much as it is a fact of Christian myth. God said he’d return and destroy the world multiple times.

Procrastination is a divine trait, then.

I prefer if you refer to procrastination as “working in mysterious ways”.
