I found it funny that they (the movie) called it "history" rather than myth, but I don't blame anyone for just finding that sad. Even Mark Twain gave that myth a harsh review.

I do recall how upset some Christians got when I think it was Walmart accidentally placed the Bible in their fantasy section (right next to Harry Potter).

That was good, yeah cant say this movie appeals to me.

I had one history teacher in grade school who was very intelligent and would tell us what was bullshit in our text books, and what was based on fact. He was awesome.

One of the many insights he gave us, has always stuck with me.

I'm paraphrasing here, since its been a while since I was in grade school....

"History is written by the winners. Those winners have powerful leaders. Those leaders write history in their favor, whether it be truth or lies. This is what gets put into the history books".

So, I have never believed anything I have read that is "historical", because, as with everything else, I need solid, stone cold facts......or at least enough of the same answers from different parts of the planet, to make previous statements "solid".



If you remove the "god", "magic", "superstitions", and mythology from "historical" events and look at them logically..................

As far as Noah is concerned, there is NO way he could have built one vessel to house ALL of the animal breeds that encompassed this planet. Logically, any vessel of this size would have had to have been AT LEAST 10 times the size of the Titanic.

That is an impossibility. It would have taken legions of workers around 100 years to build such a craft at that point in history. Again....impossible.

Therefore....still using logic........this is a man-made fable, and therefore there is no such thing as "god".
