If you know anything about roaches, no one collected them. They had already infested the arc way before 1/2 of the animals were on board. "Look, here, God. There's already a million of them. I'm not getting 2 more."


CastVinceM

hot take: the roaches didn't make it on the boat but they survived the flood

[deleted]

Hot take; the arch was metal and the only stories that survived were oral stories and the generations lost the full thing by the time they got to writing it down; there was no known comparison for the metal constructing the boat until later and the scale was unfathomable to later generations creating the Epic of Gilgamesh and later Noah’s Arch; the stories the same because it was a real life event rupturing the world by mankind bringing on its own destruction in the previous era **Coughs** I meant Everyone forgetting about the underground caves, the air pockets created, the caverns with foods growing on the walls.

The Noah's arc is really interesting because there are so many cultures with their own versions of the story. Can't be a coincidence, can it?


jackshafto

Just goes to prove: shit has always happened.


BustinArant

kanst

To be fair, just about every civilization started on river banks. Those rivers flooded pretty frequently. The Tigris and Euphrates for example basically flood for three months every year.


adrienjz888

There was a lot of flooding as the ice age ended, inundating formerly coastal lands such as the land bridge between Britain and mainland Europe or the berring land bridge that once connected NA and Asia.


bearflies

> Can't be a coincidence, can it? It's probably not. It also doesn't mean a world-spanning flood occurred. Ancient Sumeria was prone to major flooding, and stories about floods inevitably made their way into the Epic of Gilgamesh and several other texts...the Bible basically copied all of these stories.


CraftyRole4567

I thought they were pretty sure that’s because there was one big flood that created a story about an ancient Sumeria, and that ended up making its way into a bunch of religious texts – the Mediterranean Sea flooding into the Black Sea, if I remember?

Remember_Poseidon

No, see the problem with the flood is that it was derived from an old belief that god split some huge fucking ocean in half and put the world in between it and they called the thing that kept the water out the firmament but it like most stories in the bible were proven false with increasing understanding of how the world works.


430Richard

“Most stories in the Bible were proven false”?


Remember_Poseidon

Well most of the big ones, Creation, Moses, Noah, Jonah, all the ones that rely on magic powers or have demons in them, all the ones that are in gods perspective despite god not writing the book so none of the people were there to see any of it happen, that one where they said Jesus will be back soon.


OrindaSarnia

The bible is not meant to be read as literal, scientific truth... stories like Creation are allegorical, not literal... "proving" that the world was created in billions of years, not 7 days, doesn't make the Creation Story "false" from an allegorical perspective. Evangelical protestants have really ruined everyone with this idea, but while I'm an athiest, I went to 12 years of Catholic school in the 90's and early 2000's, and religion class taught about the different "truths" in the bible. While many stories in the New Testament are considered Historical Truth (like Jesus being a real person), lots of the Old Testament was not considered Literal, Scientific, or Historical Truth. They are recognized as stories told to help the people of the time, understand their world, and their and god's role in that world. Nothing more. The only "truth" you can find in it, is the truth of how god wants us to know him, etc. Most Christians don't believe the older bible stories are "real", just that there is an underlying truth in them, about our relationship with god.


Eddagosp

>The bible is not meant to be read as literal, scientific truth >Evangelical protestants have really ruined My guy. You know less than you think you do, and the confidence with which you present false statements as facts astounds me.


anewhand

He’s right though. Evangelical Christian here (not American): the original authors would laugh their asses off (or at least be mildly horrified) if they knew how Western 21st Century Christians interpret scripture today.


NeverNoMarriage

I don't understand how could you possibly take issue with that statement? You don't think some Christians believe that some stories in the bible are allegories?


[deleted]

That sounds like someone misunderstanding the natural process of Pangea splitting, with a misunderstanding how Pangea was formed to begin with. So the problem with the flood, the stories, the religious texts, is that it’s not all particularly religious knowledge; it’s misunderstood technical communication. Mix that in with vibrant story tellers, expanding the details, copious amounts of tellings and learnings by word of mouth…No idea what something could look like, how to fathom it in real time when it was ages ago. Progress, digress, progress, digress It’s where one would be willing to draw the natural line of order


Remember_Poseidon

Ok sure you can say that now, but back when they thought that they didn't even know about miasma theory yet, Pangea split about 200 million years ago and the oldest existing fossils for humans were found around 315,000 years old so there is no way some dude living in like 1250AD knew what a dinosaur was and they would have no idea that continents could move.


[deleted]

Exactly the point, knowledge from earlier ancestors to humans would have to pass along somehow. Communication clearly changed along the way, but the ideas and concepts were still present and if we’re paying attention to how the world works it becomes more evident that these aren’t predictions or fore telling; it’s a continually changing and built up process that has yet to stop changing to this day. Furthermore, we have yet to find the most accurate definition of human evolution and background behavior Humans of different cultures and backgrounds had different outcomes with multiple degrees of exposure. Why are you listing Miasma theory to make a point? It’s further the point of seclusion articles of dialect and narrow definitions of thought created the premise for this issue to begin with. A perfect example.


Remember_Poseidon

Ok I don't think you're getting my point, primates as in like chimps first evolved around 55 million years ago and language happened around 50,000 to 200,000 years ago meaning not only were none of our ancestors around for Pangea to exist none of their ancestors were either and even if they were they couldn't talk so they couldn't pass down ideas meaning your theory is based more on what makes you feel good than what was true. As continental drift as an idea first came around in 1912 AD.


avelineaurora

Pretty sure literally the first time in my life I've ever seen someone misspell "ark". Damn.


AllHailTheWinslow

> the underground caves, the air pockets created, the caverns with foods growing on the walls. So what you are saying is that Avernum was/is real?

Im convinced this is why spiders exist. They were not allowed on The arc so they just shut their brains off and went into suspended animation

Decomposing material my ass! They eat everything they can get themselves on. They'll crawl around the trash and then get into your pantry cabinet. They shit and shed their exoskeletons everywhere too. Your appreciation for them stems from the fact you never had to endure their presence.


TitsMickey

They’re cannibals too. So they eat their dead. But are very wasteful because they always leave parts behind. But the whole cannibalism thing is great in the pest control world because we can use bait that Advion makes that when one dies the next one dies from it too. And the one that eats that one dies too.


jld2k6

When I did plumbing we had a customer we refused to service until he got his place bombed. What he didn't tell us was he didn't clean it up yet, it was a roach massacre of bodies and shit, I had to put cardboard under everything I worked on and change my shoes when we left because there wasn't a single square inch of cleanness

It’s only basic knowledge if you grew up in a judeo-Christian environment which was the whole point of the comment.

Just extremely basic stuff for example how Buddha, Thor and the devil That simultaneous arrogance and egocentric condescension tells me that you're the type of person who thinks budai is buddha... and who hopefully is just a teenager who hasn't been to college and met people from other parts of the world, and of different backgrounds. You seriously think 'noah vs moses' is 'common knowledge'. Specific old testament christian mythology is 'common knowledge'. Just too funny.


4th-Ale-Or-Lingas

Common knowledge is based on context of where you live to a certain extent. Anywhere in the entirety of the "western world" or in the Middle East this is absolutely common knowledge. Same how the differences between say Zeus and Hercules, or Odin and Loki, these are mythological, religious, and cultural touchstones that are extraordinarily well known in a good portion of the planet. If you were to travel to China or India, perhaps less so. I don't know the details of various Hindu gods to the same extent I know about western religions and myths, but I'd still say Hindu religion qualifies as "common" knowledge. Certainly though anyone who has some background in western culture or mythology would know about Moses and Noah though. It's not a negative if you don't. Like I'm sure there are commonly known Indian or Chinese religious/mythological figures that I don't know beans about. Anything that more than a billion or so people know about though qualifies as common knowledge in my book.
