“Riiiiiight.”
In Grahm Hancock’s book: Fingerprint of the Gods (15,000,000 copies sold) he point out that more than 30 religions have flood/ark (ship/boat) histories.
Chuck Todd is a plain ‘ol fool.
Chuck Todd attacks ISLAM, Says Muslims are delusional fot believing in great flood
The argument cited is a young Earth creationist argument. There are two others: old Earth creationist (which is supported by secular history, anthropology, archeology and geology) and the flood story as an ahistoric moral teaching. None of these are “fairy tales.” All are attempts to reconcile the moral teachings of the Bible with observation. Paul himself says when he was a child, he believed as a child. And, Jesus says suffer the children not to come unto me.
Even fables, legends and fairy tales, such as Aesop’s fables and Pinocchio, imbed truth. This was developed by Jordon Peterson in his book and lecture series, Maps of Meaning. While these, too, have generally been dismissed by the intellectual elite, recent findings has substantiated that many are based on historical events. For example, Homer’s epic poem, The Illiad. Yes, boys and girls, there was an ancient kingdom of Troy.
Contrast the traditional stories to the new drivel being concocted by the elites: Trump-Russia Conspiracy, Trump-Ukriane quid pro quo, bisexual and trans superheroes in the contempary Marvel comic movie series, and the recasting of Malificent as the misunderstood real hero of the Snow White story.
I think chuck todd is a fairy tale.
You can perhaps understand the consternation of the multitudes who lived (and died) in the basin that is now the Mediterranean Sea, and then also those who lived in what is now the Black Sea.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
You seem to have written that as if it were “2” Thessalonians, when everyone (except Trump) knows that it is “TWO” Thessalonians! /s
Who is this Chuch Todd who’s supposed to be on the news?
He’s not on MY TV.
I don’t believe he exists.
“What’s a cubit?”
And God must have put a couple of dozen asses on the Ark. That is why we have so many now.

Yes, there is an abundance of evidence of a worldwide flood, and there is an also abundance of evidence that the flood occurred millions of years before Noah.
A cubit is a measurement based on the distance from one’s fingertips to the elbow... approximately 18”. Since this is somewhat variable, the ‘official cubit’ is somewhat open for interpretation and varied from culture to culture.
Fixed it.
Yeah; I know what a cubit is. I was just adding on to Post #2 by dfwgator, which I assumed was part of a Bill Cosby skit back in the ‘60s about Noah’s Ark. Two lines were, “How long can you tread water?” and “What’s a cubit?”
Because goodness knows no Black people interpret the Bible literally . . . do they?
Why doesn't someone ask "Rev." Al if he believes in the Flood or how old the universe is? But no, all Black people (at least in the US) are born with Ph.D.'s in evolutionary biology.
LOL!
So LOVED that album!
One of my favorite lines is from “High School Shop”, when a kid—after throwing a bullet into the furnace—says “TINK, TINK”.
Think of it every time I read FR posts that offer encouraging news about Durham’s investigation.
Do we really care what Todd believes? Let him shake his fist at the heavens and yell all he wants “I DO NOT BELIEVE!”.
In a hundred years he will be nothing but dust and ashes, worm, coyote or vulture poop. His ravings will be forgotten and he will be replaced by someone else who will shake their fist at the heavens.
The Heavens last. Men do not.
“They have Moses and the Prophets. If they will not believe them, they will not believe one who has returned from the dead.”—Jesus
I think Chuck Turd is just a fairy.
“Islam believes you must submit to Islam or they must kill you...”
On the other hand, it’s been about 1400 years since Islam was invented. What was the attitude in Christianity around 1400 AD?
I suppose there could be a lot of exaggeration in modern anti-Christian culture. After all, “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!!”.
