For millennia, countless people have been taught that there was a real man named Noah who somehow piled two (Gen 6:19) – or seven (Gen 7:2), depending on which scripture in the “infallible Word of God” one reads - of every animal on the planet into an ark and with his family survived an enormous global flood. Obviously, to thinkers worldwide this story is logically to be considered an impossible fable, not history.
Over the centuries, many people have tried and failed to find evidence for this implausible tale, largely looking around a mountain in Turkey called Ararat. This quest began hundreds of years ago and pops up in the news periodically, including several times in the 20th and 21st centuries, such as with the Noah’s Ark Ministries brouhaha of 2010. At that time, it was claimed that a “wooden structure” was found at about 13,000 feet up Mt. Ararat and had been carbon-dated to around 4,800 years ago, reflecting a “99.9% certainty” it was the “real” ark. Skeptics and Christian evangelists alike soon dissected that claim, as they had so many others in the past.

The more humanity strays from his origin, the more we deny our bond with nature, the farther from perfection we become. We are the only creatures on the planet that use symbols in reference to something else. We use symbols for absolutely everything the mind can conceive of. There is at least one word or icon or jesture to insinuate everything our 5 senses can detect and then some, but along with this beautiful gift, comes a flaw. Most people are unwilling to seek and create their own interpretations of these symbols.

Have you been reading the latest from the Catholic church? Apparently they have decided to admit in the face of OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE that Evolution did indeed happen. Gee, they’ve come along way! I suppose since they aren’t a government any more that can’t poke out the eyes of leading scientists like they did in Galileo’s day. Shouldn’t evolution invalidate the Biblical/Pentateuch creation account, hence throwing Christianity in the toilet? (Even orthodox Jews are now claiming that Genesis is metaphorical and not literal.) Why yes it should, but the Catholic church presented a loop hole that the masses have been touting as a mantra ever since. I’m sure you all heard the lie they are spreading, the lie which tries to reconcile evolution with the 6 days of creation. It’s the “a day can be like a thousand years to god” lie! Here is an excellent example of this lie in use:
