    Default If The Great Flood Did Occur, So We All Have Hebrew Ancestry?

    So the Great Flood supposedly killed everyone on earth except those inside the Noah's Ark, so that means we all are descended from those people and since Noah could not have gathered people from every corner of the world he probably only took in local people. Therefore, practically we all are Hebrews, no?

    Then you are laughing at the members of the Three Great Religions. If I were you I would fear for my life.

    I thought the Noah's Ark **** was something interpreted from the Black Sea draining into the Mediterranean, or rather, breaking into the Mediterranean and a great deal of land above the Crescent was flooded. The descendants of this great man, however many there were, decided to give great praise to this unifying force of a story, and so tradition sends it down and it gets absorbed into this larger force called Judaism and its founding moments.

    No?

    Judging by the racial diversity among men and not least the biodiversity of the world, including different biosphere's on different continents etc, and the minor fact that there is no evidence whatsoever of such a flood plus the massive amount of indications that it did not happen I think we can conclude that the flood didn't happen.
    GEIR HASUND!

    By the way, though my avatar might indicate so, I am not a citizen of Germany, though my ancestry have a branch in this great nation.

    No?

    According to the Bible all humans except the ones of the Ark were killed.

    then the human race would've become extinct no matter who was on the ship, simply cuz the survivors would be forced to interbreed amongst each other, and
    from a genetics point of view, that's going to lead to a lot of genetic 'mistakes', given that interbreeding increases the chances of a DNA base pair connecting with the wrong base pair-Adenosine must connect to thymine, guanine to cytosine.
    Unopfrtunately for you, the incidence of down's syndrome in the world isnt as high as it would've been had the Judeo-christian god had felt the itch to go on one of his genocide campaigns...altho given the amount of ppl who follow the judeochristian religons i'm starting to wonder....

    Religion is not about genetics but about explaining the world in simple words and deeds. Genetics are out of the story in that sense.

    For example in my country skin whitening cosmetics are top sellers while at the same time we are laughing at the whities who regularly go to the beach to get darker ...

    After that event, many people moved away from that area, and some even settled far away in Europe, Africa, and Asia (not including the Middle East in this case).
    So can you explain why I do not have Middle Eastern feature?

    He can't because he's taking a parable literally, one that didn't understand the concept of genetics.

    What I don't get is how someone can take the Tower of Babel story literally, I mean, it is SO clearly a metaphor it is ridiculous.

    Actually, since evolution's been proven and all, we're all 'practically' South Africans. But yes, if the Ark myth was real, we'd all be descended from Noah and his horribly inbred family, in turn descendants of the horribly inbred line of Adam and Eve. Who in turn were created from dirt. Yay.
