Paul, can we assume that you do not believe in the 'younger earth' teachings of many evangelicals? They teach that God created everything about 6000BC (based on ages of the Patriarhs) and also that the flood happened around 2300BC. They also believe that dinosaurs used to be 'gentle' plant eating creatures. I would like to know how all those different animals that only existed in other parts of the world, walked and/or swam great distances so they could embark on the ark? And what happened to all the fish when salt water mixed with fresh water?
Younger Earth?
Stephen,
In November 2016, something strange happened to me. The result of that experience was that I interacted with the spirit of Noah. As an engineer, I asked questions pertaining to the construction of the Ark, like how you transported trees hundreds of feet long, how you cut the massive lumber, and how you formed the wood into usable shapes. The answer was: we didn’t, we had help. How did you accommodate all of those different animals? The answer: other men and women around the earth saved animals from their geographic locations. I believe that there were 144 individual life preserving families.
It has taken me years to talk about my visions and interactions with souls of the departed. I hope that Paul will contribute to this discussion.
To ignore past cataclysms (magnetic pole shifts, younger dryas, and other planet killer comet strikes) is dogmatic. I'm not sure anyone knows how many resets there have been, but we should all agree that there have been many! Along those same lines is upholding the Noah story of the flood and disregarding the Mesopotamian Corpus (a much older flood story; likely the origin from where the Hebrew version came). Paul covers this a lot. So to the original poster's comments--unless I have misread Paul, he does NOT believe in young earth teachings.
What about mixing fresh water with salt water? What about getting all of those animals which we will assume for the moment were collected, across the Atlantic or Pacific? Were there members of the collection club down in Australia and also on the Galapagos Island? From deepest Amazon? Did someone get a Bigfoot? Just kidding, sort of. How did all these millions of animals even fit? Remember, there were more than a male/female of each, not counting all the bacteria. No, that story was adapted from the Mesopotamian version for sure. But even further out is the belief that the entire universe and our earth all came into existence 6000 years ago and all our scientific test based on radioactive half lifes is unreliable. No sir, but what did you smoke the night before?
