Yea that was pretty dumb, despite being Protestant myself im against the whole arch thing. you can teach the ideas of the Bible more efficiently and effectively than using 100 million dollars to build a massive model boat.

[@thepubquiz3198]

All DNA evidence shows that before Muhammad the people of the North African Coastal Kingdoms and the Middle East are most closely related to modern day Northern Italians. The Nature Journals published several conclusive studies on the matter. However the majority certainly didn't have fair hair and light eyes, most would have very light olive skin and dark hair and brown eyes. They would of looked more like Ben Stiller, Michael Imperioli, John Stamos, John Travolta or Marisa Tomei people like that. The media gets it quite accurate to be honest, Liz Taylor as Cleopatra was definitely more than accurate enough, although her nose was more hooked in reality, most likely anyway. Russell Crowe isn't to far off in Noah, he could just about pass for Northern Italian or Greek etc, Christian Bale as Moses was quite spot on, and Joel Edgerton with all the make up was fine, I can't really think of many examples were they've got it wrong in regards to the Middle East and North Africa.

[@nullshock3381]

@@thepubquiz3198 I am not arguing, I am curious, can you point me to your sources(like specifically)? I'm not trying to be a jerk, I am genuinely interested. Yes I highly doubt Noah(He probably looked similar to the people's in the region that bit was written, not when it happened.) looked like Russel Crowe. That looks like a standard cookie cutter "White" dude with anger issues. And, Cleopatra was Greek(Macedonian specifically, though she was born in Alexandria.) so I imagine she wouldn't have looked Egyptian, just a Macedonian on a long ass holiday, I would imagine. These are just my opinions, specially in regards to Cleopatra, no one has even found her tomb. And, there is a big time gap between Noah, most likely A Character in a Christian Myth. And, Cleopatra a historical Figure. So some rambling/dry ass jokes, after saying I am genuinely interested aside, I am interested. And would like to read your sources. Again I know I sound like an asinine jerk. But, there is nothing for me to gain by being a jerk, but there is knowledge to gain from genuine curiosity, so if I sound like a jerk I apologize.

There's no such thing as "looking like a Middle Eastern". The "Middle East" is a fabricated anglocentric term from the mid 1800's which only served to define Britain's spheres of influence which stretch over continents & vast territories..it's purely a political term.

Where was I, Context, changes the meaning of a word. Or words can change meaning over time.

Are you saying these folks should have just been super charitable and fed people instead of building an enterprise? Although silly, remember they didn't expect the Ark to fail. The investors expected a lot of cash in return for the money they put into the venture. It's similar to when people comment on "abandoned" buildings, and they speak of how many homeless people could live there if only "they" spent untold amounts of money remodeling the structure. If "they" spent real money refurbishing, remodeling, and bringing up to code the "abandoned" buildings "they" would expect a return on their investment. "They" wouldn't just hand it over to homeless people to ruin it. I'm not against charity. I'm all for it. However I would expect a solid plan and foundation to have been lain in order to accomplish the mission and purpose of the charity. Otherwise... $16 billion could feed a lot of starving people..?

​@@duckietheduck Actually ships as big as the ark have existed, there were even ships lined with concrete. The ark itself can float and is box shaped, it wasn't meant to sail unlike the Chinese giant treasure ships, but it would have easily served its purpose. That's also not how buoyancy works, ships don't float by being light, they float by displacing water which is actually heavier than the weight of the ship itself. We actually have ships bigger and far heavier than the ark would have been itself made out of steel, we actually have ships that carry massive numbers of animals too of comparable size and they still float. Your statement of "scientists have tested whether a boat like that could sail and found that it could not" is also incorrect, based on presumed specifications it's been determined that it could indeed have float.

It is relevant because anyone who believes the Noah's Ark story to be a true account has willfully taken leave of scientific evidence and common sense. But, then again, it is the same sort of credulity that allows for all the other miraculous accounts in the Bible to include the resurrection of Jesus.

I just may do so to read it for myself and if it's compelling sounding enough I'll forward it to the atheist experience and Aron Ra so they can see this as well. I suggest you watch The Atheist Experience, and Aron Ra videos on KZbin yourself. There's an actual wealth of information to be found there with both. They ask the hard questions and require real answers. They make the show for the viewers to see how lame and flimsy their claims, arguments and so called evidence really is. That way it'll change other people's minds who happen to have the same outlook and to see how terrible it sounds as argued/conversated said out loud when certain required measures are set.

Per my 2 minutes of googling, "Because of her extreme length and wood construction, Wyoming tended to flex in heavy seas, which would cause the long planks to twist and buckle, thereby allowing sea water to intrude into the hold. Wyoming had to use pumps to keep her hold relatively free of water. In March 1924, she foundered in heavy seas and sank with the loss of all hands". I mean technically it floated as long as the water that leaked in was pumped out. Lets split the difference, large displacement wooden ships are not seaworthy, unless, there are pumps to empty out the water that leaks in. Hugs for everyone.

And yes, that very highway is taking me home to my parents in under 9 hours instead of 12 that would take me if I followed the old roads around. You know, it's really difficult NOT to be hypocrite in today's world. There's so little left for a person to criticize nowadays without being called a hypocrite.
