That’s what the Bible indicates, like it or not.

Since I'm not a Christian, I'm rather indifferent. In any case, being in the Bible hardly makes something true, any more than for it does for myths such as Noah and the flood or people living for 900+ years.

> Since I’m not a Christian

I pray the Lord gets hold of your heart some day. I was an atheistic evolutionist until I was in my early 40s. Then I saw an undeniable miracle of Supernatural intervention by a loving God. Since then I have come to realize that my very existence, the very existence of this universe, even every breath I take, are all likewise stunning and astounding miracles.

> myths such as Noah

You know, if there were a catastrophic, world-wide flood, you might expect to find billions of creatures fossilized in lithified mud layers, laid down rapidly by water, all over the earth. You may also expect to find rapid extinctions of many of those creatures who may have been preserved through such a catastrophe, because of the unfavorable conditions existing for many years thereafter.

Nevertheless, none of us was there. We get to choose whose interpretation of the data, and whose account of how it got there.

I can’t change your mind, and you won’t change mine.
