Noah's
Flood Fraud
By JohnO
Do we all remember the Worldwide Church of God accounts
of the Noah's Flood? How much did "God" intervene to
save His chosen people, and how much did He intervene to
save the future "Israel?" (Ain't Monday morning
quarterbacking just great?). How wonderful! God rescued
all of Noah's family because they were (supposedly)
righteous people. At least, that's what the Bible says.
Of course, we forget the Orientals, the Africans,
American Indians, and the Aborigines. While some
claim their history also talks of flooding, it never
claims (as the Bible does) to be as devastating an
event, and always talks about any of those minor
particular events as different time and different places
in each culture. So the "flood" of the gentiles, is a
lot different flood to that of the OT.
While we don't want to re-hash the Bible here, we can
all remember the account of Noah's Flood. On
examination, it turns out to be Noah's Fraud. If
we are to believe the OT, then we must believe (like
religionists do) that the flood came over the whole
Earth, and even the tops of the mountains was covered.
That, incidentally is in Gen 7:20, and includes Mount
Everest. Since, as science has proved, Everest has been
extant for millions of years, then the flood, as
Biblically recorded, must have rose 15 cubits (about 23
feet using an 18 inch cubit) above even the top of mount
of Everest. Mount Everest, which stands about 5.5 miles
high - 29,035 feet ASL.
Now, what do we care about some old flood? The answer is
vital to the Bible believer. If ANY
part of the OT is a fallacy, then the whole OT (and NT
as well) Bible cannot be regarded as true. It may be
allegorical, as some might say, but the religionist
claims that the Bible is literally true. And the
Noah's flood is a firm, fundamental belief among those
who are Bible followers. It happened, they say. So, if
the flood is a total fraud, then how can anyone trust
the rest of the OT, and therefore, the Bible?
Bible believers have rallied to the cause of the flood.
Non-believers have also examined the subject. Werner
Keller's "The Bible as History," in Chapter 3, shows
that the archeological evidence for the so-called
Biblical flood was actually on a local scale, and one
that covered only a small area of the Fertile Crescent.
But, to the locals - and it was regarded to them, it was
their whole world. In fact, a huge flood covered
that area of Mesopotamia in around 4000 BC, but
according to Sir Charles Leonard Woolley, a British
archeologist in league with a U.S. expedition in 1923
AD, this "flood" was only 400 miles long by 100 miles
wide. He set out to prove the authenticity of Noah's
flood of the Bible. It proved to be false.
As flood waters subside, they leave sediment. He
examined the ground for hundreds of miles around only to
find that the sediment left by the flood decreased the
further he departed from the valley within the Fertile
Crescent. This proved scientifically that the flood had
boundaries, and was not worldwide as the Bible had
claimed. It was simply a local event, and although
damaging to people and property at the time, was limited
to (and between) the desert to the West, the mountains
to the East, and was due to the overflowing of the
Tigris and Euphrates Rivers that, in turn, dumped
southward into the Persian Gulf.
But . . . all this does not deter the determined Bible
believer. They are focused on proving that the waters
covered, even Mount Everest - although there is
absolutely no scientific evidence to prove this
fact. Mount Everest, according to geologists, was
violently thrust up from the Tibetan plain millions of
years ago, as rock and magna, and has taken its place as
a titan of the upper physical world. It has never been
covered in the waters of any flood.
To this day, most people (who think) cannot figure out
how Mount Ararat got into the Biblical picture. Anyhow,
religion (and the Bible) targets that area as the
location of Noah's Ark. During the cold war, the
religionists claimed that the Ark was buried deep within
the snow on the mountainside. The communistic Russians,
they claimed, denied anyone access to the area, and as
such, they couldn't "prove" that the Bible claims were
true. Now, that the Russians don't give a damn, the
religionists still can't prove their case. Tons of
fiction books were written in those cold war years about
the Ark, and books that made tons of money for the
authors. Each one claimed that they could prove the
validity of Noah's Ark, "if only the Russian authorities
allowed us access to the area." Now that they have the
access, no one's been able to prove their religious or
Biblical claims, because there are no proofs.
The fiction tales danced with imagination. There was
this "huge, dark shape" buried in the ice, that told the
tales of the Ark. There were these cages inside with
wrought iron grilles, reports claimed. There was this
old, reddish, preserved wood that "God" left as a
witness. This ark, it was reported, was three times as
long as a football field. We remember, the
Televangelists screamed hysterically, this was the
"proof" of the Bible. But since the dissolution of the
cold war, no one has either been able to verify the fact
that anything is there, in the glaciers of Ararat, other
than other parts of the same mountain. The ark does
NOT exist, because if it did, it would be the most
phenomenal discovery of the age, and certainly the most
profitable to any business venture. If Donald Trump (or
the mob) could prove any such Ark was real, we'd soon
have "Noah's Casino" jangling with money on the slopes
of Ararat, available to the existing rich (with a
luxury, champagne helicopter fly-ins), and open to all
gambling NY Jewish businessmen as a testimony to their
true Biblical heritage.
Just for one moment, can we all imagine the scenario?
"The Ark has been found," the reporters would chant (the
tabloids would go fanatical), and the religions would
start their scampering for a piece of the action. TBN,
CBN, the Billy Graham ministries, the whores, and all
the chanting, screaming, rockers of religion would be
dancing in the streets. "God's word is true," would come
the ravings. "The ark proves it." The larger ministries
would naturally schedule pilgrimages to the Ark (to work
around and not disturb the blackjack tables), and their
televangelistic shows would cry and bleat for $$$$$$$ to
preserve the Ark, and new, improved corporations would
rise up to handle the money to now prove that
God's word was really infallible. Every televangelist
would offer healing if any sick person would write for
and receive a "special cross" (made in, and sent
directly from China) that had actually touched the Ark
itself. Each cross would heal any disease, and would be
given free to all that ask, if they sent a "love gift"
of $50 or more. In the meantime and in the background,
extensive work on the Ark would be continuing to
"extend" the boundaries of the structure itself. Now, it
seems, the Ark had miraculously grown to a length of
seven football fields. Good old Noah. No one actually
realized it, but he actually built a casino, a religious
sanctuary, and a McDonalds into the original ark.
Visions would abound. Noah and his seven comrades would
be testified to as having been definitely seen, wafting
through one side of the Ark and dissolving into the
other side. The spirits of elephants and rhinos would be
reportedly observed to cross the gambling areas. Some
visiting observers would erupt with the stigmata, bleed
at the hands, feet, and drip blood from the heart, while
others would faint and collapse as they were immediately
"baptized in the spirit."
The Catholics would dash to the nearest local forest and
hack down a few trees. Then they'd sell (
300 zillion) slivers of those trees as "anointed relics
of Noah's Ark" to the faithful for a gift each of
$100 or more. The Pope would fly over the site, give it
his Pontifical blessing from 35.000 ft. and this would
set the stage for a new cathedral on the side of Mount
Ararat. Donations would be solicited. Donald and the
Pope would work a deal.
On a more sobering angle - and one much more scientific
- but let's suppose that the flood happened as the Bible
said. Most water in rain form originally comes from the
Earth itself. The sun evaporates the oceans' waters,
forms clouds, they condense, and that equals rain. But
all the rain is a product of the Earth and from its
overall mass. Biblically, we're told that the fountains
of the deep opened. Gen 7:11 says that the flood was a
result of these underground waters, plus the rain that
caused the flood. In the light of scientific evidence,
that's not logical. It's true that there are
underwater reservoirs, mainly in the tropical and
sub-tropical areas. But to insist that these waters,
plus rain, caused the Biblical flood is scientific
insanity.
But . . . let's suppose, for a moment, that the Bible
account is real. Where does that leave us? Suddenly, we
are told, that the fountains of the deep are opened and
the rain pelts down on the Earth. Since this (as we've
been told) goes on for forty days and forty nights, the
water level is now at the height of 5.5 miles above the
Earth. That's higher than Mount Everest. Now, suddenly,
water (a part of all this) comes out of the Earth and
installs itself all over the periphery of the globe.
If this is so, then we have a glob of water that is 5.5
miles high covering the Earth, that supposedly and
basically came from the Earth itself. If you wish to
compute the mass of all this water, please do so. I
have. But, everyone must do their own homework. The
volume of a sphere is 4/3 X 1.14159 X Radius (cubed).
The average difference of the planet's diameter, in
cubic miles, between the "supposed" flood and the Earth
as we know it, is: 1,325,593,010 cu miles. This
translates to about 161,953,398,229, 400,000,000, pounds
of water weight that the flood left on the Earth's
surface. If this is so, then one THIRD of the weight of
the whole planet has now left the ancient Noah's sphere
and was now lodged on its surface. Since this is
impossible, as science tells us that most of the Earth's
mass lies in its molten core, and the rocks surrounding
it, then we are presented with an impossibility. Even if
it was true, then the Earth's effects in spacial, and
elliptical, the orbit, therefore, must be radically
changed.
Even though "religion" might say that the mass of water
has been transferred from the core to the surface (thus
making the mass the same), this only holds true of a
static or potential situation. It doesn't account for
the inevitable kinetic energy happening. Any spinning
mass takes on a different flavor. And the Earth is
spinning at a velocity of 1000 miles per hour, west to
east. Higher mass always has more impact if it's at the
end of a rope that anyone is swinging, and so is the
water mass that's stuck on the surface of a rotating
planet. So this inertia, and therefore, the Earth's
reflected and kinetic mass is different, as related to
the sun's gravitational pull. So, this mass of water
that's (supposedly) been deposited on the surface, by
Noah's flood, would increase the amount of the Earth's
reflected inertial and kinetic mass. And so too, will
our Earth's gravity. This "flood" would have obviously
changed our orbit. Our resultant mass would have spun us
into the sun, about 4000+ years ago.
There are three things that affect our orbit. (1) Our
electromagnetic attraction to the sun that magnetically
"tugs" at us, (2) our velocity of orbit and planetary
rotation, and (3) our mass. Our spinning around the sun
is called centrifugal force, and the balance
between all these forces is what keeps us in orbit. If
we screw up any of these, then we're in deep &%@$#*. So,
if the mass of the Earth changes radically, as stated
above, we're gonna spin into the sun, as our gravity is
higher, and centrifugal force can no longer sustain us
in orbit. We're toast. But . . . it didn't happen.
So, Noah's Flood is actually Noah's Fraud . And so, the
Bible is mostly fiction.
