Ok so yeah, I don't think the Earth is 4000 years old and I don't think I believe a big boat was loaded up with every living breathing critter on the planet.
Having said that...
The almighty brainy Libtards tell us that every human originated as some sort of bacterial ooze and evolved from an ape-like ancestor.
IF that were true... then WHY is the human so unique? I mean, the elephant has a brain 5x larger than a human. With a lot more evolution time than a human ape thing, why can't elephants talk to us and read books or drive cars or write music? The dolphin has a larger brain than humans AND more evolution time...so why haven't dolphins built underwater cities?
I mean, with the almighty power of evolution... a mouse should at least be able to say a few words. I don't get it Libtards, enlighten me.

Start a thread, then abandon it and start another. Is that how you're going to be?

lol... it just seems like sometimes I need to get something off my chest and post about it. I like reading the responses of people whom I assume to be like myself. But yeah, I can see how it looks like I hit n run sometimes. :-)

Going back to your OP, it is only the DUmmies whom we can be sure are direct descendents of primordial ooze, and their wimminz are proof that their kind fell out of trees and lost their tails a couple of generations ago.

Maybe not exactly, but it seems strange that almost every single civilization on the planet has some sort of Great Flood story.

It's not so strange, if you think about it.
Civilizations formed from agriculture, in locations with fresh water from rivers and lakes, and fertile soil (often fertilized by floods, like the Nile delta). Such places were subject to flooding, great storms, and great waves (such as tsunamis from seismic activity). Natural disasters were often considered the wrath of a god; punishment for "wickedness" is not a stretch by any means. Add in the discovery of marine fossils in fields and on the sides of mountains, and flood myths were inevitable.

Not just floods, but Great Floods, and there is usually a person like Noah associated with them.

If they destroyed the whole world, then they were definitely great floods, and not everyday, ordinary floods.
But I say the definition of "the whole world" would be significantly different for us than for a Sumerian, Babylonian, or Hebrew sheepherder telling a story around the fire at night - which is how those myths were spread and passed down.

After figuring out evolution Darwin married his cousin. That kinda does it for me!

Conservatives are descended from "The Great Apes"....DUmmies descended from the big red ass baboons.

We used to be covered with glaciers. Maybe when all the super volcanos were going off they created globull warming which melted all the glaciers and caused a world wide flood.
What about polar shifts and the separation of the continents? Couldn't they have caused floods too?
-
If you read the account of Noah, the flood covered the entire world for a year. At whatever time later, when Noah found a place he recognized, 2 of the 4 great rivers were gone. Taking just those 2 facts, it's obvious the flood was nothing like a tsunami or any other natural flood. It was a far greater cataclysm than "the experts" take into account when they ramble on about world-wide silt or other garbage.
Many years ago, one of my kids did a little science experiment. She took a few spoons of dirt from various places and of various colors, including some red Oklahoma dirt, and filled a jar about 2/3 full. There were some little twigs, pebbles, and such in the dirt that she didn't bother to take out. She then filled the jar up with water, put the lid on, shook it up a little, and set it up for a week. When we looked at it again, the dirt had settled into layers, and the twigs and stuff were scattered around through it, sometimes going up and down through several layers. A person might look at the facts in the first paragraph I wrote and the results of that child's experiment and wonder if the experts are maybe not so much expert as opinionated...

Evolutionary theory does a great job of explaining why finches evolved to fill many different ecological niches for birds in the Galapogos, or even how Australopithecus Africanus could have given rise to more modern hominids and eventually, us. It does a much less credible job of explaining quantum shifts, like the rise of warm-bloodedness or multicellular animals, or the actual origin of life. While a biologist would say that mutation accounts for these, the problem is that a mutant has to be interfertile, genetically dominant, and competitively advantageous for mutated traits to be passed on and prosper, which is a combination so vanishingly rare that I doubt if a concrete and documentable example of that actually happening could be found.
The vast distance between humans and their nearest competition is not that hard to explain, though. Opinions differ as to what the key change was - speech, tool use, opposable thumb, social structure, brain size, or just the synergistic effect of all of them together* - but some combination of those put us off to the races around 100,000 years ago, and without them, nothing else is catching up and nothing else would have the breathing room to do so anyway, since we weren't competing against another species that was already on top of the hill.
*(There's a school of thought that none of them individually really conferred that much of an advantage for the environments that existed when and where they are thought to have first occurred, but put together they created an unbeatable edge. Wolves, for instance, do extraordinarily well at coordinating hunts without actual speech, but they were never in the running for taking over the planet. There are interrelation questions too, like did the thumbs get so developed because we were already using tools and better thumbs made more successful tool users, or were they just an adaptation for climbing that turned out to be extraordinarily useful for making and using tools, and then got only modestly changed from there over the last quarter-million years?)

Even a half a million years ago, there were liberals among us. Thumbs evolved for two reasons....one was so liberals could more easily find their asshole and the other was so that once the liberal apes did find their asshole they could stick their thumb up their ass and sit on there fist without sliding off. It was such a useful tool that the working conservative apes adopted it to the benefit of the whole clan. The thumb for sucking and sticking up the ass is the only contribution to mankind liberals have ever made....and that was an accident for their own best interest.

I don't know Tanker, all kinds of strange shit happens.
We once thought only humans were tool makers until the last 30 or so years when scientists have found some animals who do use tools, branches or sticks to seek out food.
Check out Numbers 25-32. The Bible speaks often of a race of Giants decedent's of the Anakim a race of Giants.
Coincidental a few months ago a tomb was found with a skeleton of a man that had to have been well over 10 feet tall.
In Mongolia years ago a tomb of a man, a very large man with red hair and Caucasian was found buried century's before Any Caucasians ever got that far east. [ As far as we know]
We know He did but how did he get there and who buried him ?
Have to remember people of that time had little technology lived in a mud hut and used stone implements, so the "story's " from people who had seen with their own eyes and passed on to others had to be translated in their minds at least to something supernatural.
The Old Testament has so far as science is concerned used to map the story's of the Ancient ones-- and by golly, much that was reported at that time has a basis in fact.
Then the fact that most cultures tell of huge beasts, dinosaurs ? I can see the people of Indonesia believing in them they do exist, the Kyoto dragon is a fact today, but why people in other parts of the world would even have story's and art forms that celebrate a look alike creature is beyond me.
The Hindu are interesting, their myths or religion has been written down for 4,000 years, may be a bit warped by our standards but they tried to record what they themselves saw.
Saw a documentary of scientists in the African Jungle where there was a swift flowing river with lots of rocks. In order to cross the river the scientists used walking sticks to keep their balance. After a few weeks of going back and forth across the stream one of the scientists was fortunate to get video of a Gorilla wanting to cross and picking up a stick to use as the humans did to cross safely.
Tanker my frigging cat learned from watching me how to turn the kitchen faucet on and tries to get into closed rooms by messing with the door knobs.
Tanker read Genesis carefully with an eye to science and what these people of the time saw but had to interpret into what they could not understand.
Then there is DNA------ science says some of it is JUNK But that just means they do not know where that strand comes from or how to link it to humans.

The quality of this generation of DUmpmonkeys is dropping. The ones who evolve to the point they can swim off Skin's Island used to be fun to bat around.
Now they can't offer any more than "Nuh-uh. Is not. Is not. You're a doody-head."
This one is not even worth toying with.

I need a cup of coffee.
I went to mom and dads to watch the race at Daytona...of course that was a bummer...at the same time it made me 3 hours late to feed my cat.
She let me have it when I got in the door but were good now, it's really cute when she licks her chops and tries to meow at the same time. If you've never heard a siamese you should watch a youtube video of one yakking away.

What are you talking about? Mice developed a communication system that fits there need to survive long enough to reproduce. Why would you expect mice to evolve a way to communicate with humans?

I thought you disagreed with me, but I guess you just arent very computer literate. They have night classes for that.

After seeing several mice in dire circumstances when confronted with a cat (myself, I don't go out of my way to harm mice) but oh boy....cats, they love mice....kinda the same way we like to run out of gas.
Think about it, it might just have its uses.

Yes, you are confused. It comes with drinking from Skinner's toilet over on The Island.
If you had taken the time to look around before pooping on our carpet, you'd know what a blank quote box means at CC.

Just ask. Someone will explain it to you.
Better yet, go to the Introduction thread, tell us a little bit about yourself, and then look around at the various boards.

Do you know if there is a way to familiarise yourself with this forum, or even be kind enough to introduce yourself?
The record is not good but you go on and be your bad self.

A little girl goes to her mom and asks "Mommy, were do people come from?"
Mom replies "Well God made a man and a woman and they had babies and after a long time I was born. I met your father and we made you."
The little girl walks away and decides to ask her dad.
Dad tells her, "You see, a long time ago there were little animals and over time the little animals got bigger and changed in to monkeys and after a while the monkeys became chimps. After a while longer the chimps became apes and finally the apes became people. You understand?"
"I think so" says the little girl.
The little girl then goes back to her mom and say "Mom I'm confused. You said we came from God by daddy says we came from apes."
"The answer is simple" the mom tells her daughter. "Dad is telling you where his side of the family came from and I'm telling you were my side came from."

This isn't about The Rules. More than 50% of us here are not into Rules.
It is about The Attitude.
People who come in with their hands in their underwear to enhance the external look of their Johnson are considered... tacky.
