Is the Holy Bible the timeline for mankind's existence?

I love finding gaps in people's theories...lol

So if the Chinese live thru the flood, where is that in your breakdown?

Looks to me like your last paragraph explains it. Because it jumps from 6500-5000bc all the way to 2500bc when the Yangshao culture began.

The Great Flood happend 4990 bc ..which fits perfectly in between those dates.

and FYI- the Chinese are the offspring of Japhet, Noah's son.

Chinese people descended from the lineage of Japheth, through Lott.


And Notice how the author of your article backtracks here and says this:

WHY would he say this? cover his ass for plagarism?

 

Heh, yep, absolute power corrupts absolutely and all that

Now be a good little pawn and get on your knees.

 

Hilarious!!

 

Where are you Wolverine? I debunked your "Chinese lived thru the flood" theory and you vacate the premises?....

The Great Flood happend 4990 bc

 

Yet there is nothing in Chinese history of the entire civilization being destroyed by a great flood.

Nor is there an evidence of such.

Educate yourself.

I love it. Are you arguing here that the Chinese culture existed both before and after an epic global catastrophe, and all it did to China's culture was create a hiccup in the written record of their history?

 

Could it be that the Chinese had no time to prepare for the flood? Because by ALL accounts, Noah and his family were the only ones that knew the Flood was coming.


YOU FAIL!

 

Seems to be it.

 

The Bible says the wicked perished.

Yet, people in China still exist before and after the flood.

Why is that?

Fail.

 

4990 bc (great flood) - 2500 bc(yangshao culture began) = 2,490 YEARS

um...2,490 YEARS is no mere hiccup buddy.

 

Neolithic
See also: List of Neolithic cultures of China

The Neolithic age in China can be traced back to between 12,000 and 10,000 BC.[6] Early evidence for proto-Chinese millet agriculture is radiocarbon-dated to about 7000 BC.[7] The Peiligang culture of Xinzheng county, Henan was excavated in 1977.[8] With agriculture came increased population, the ability to store and redistribute crops, and the potential to support specialist craftsmen and administrators.[9] In late Neolithic times, the Yellow River valley began to establish itself as a cultural center, where the first villages were founded; the most archaeologically significant of those was found at Banpo, Xi'an.[10] The Yellow River was so named because of loess forming its banks gave a yellowish tint to the water.[11]

The early history of China is made obscure by the lack of written documents from this period, coupled with the existence of accounts written during later time periods that attempted to describe events that had occurred several centuries previously. In a sense, the problem stems from centuries of introspection on the part of the Chinese people, which has blurred the distinction between fact and fiction in regards to this early history.

By 7000 BC, the Chinese were farming millet, giving rise to the Jiahu culture. At Damaidi in Ningxia, 3,172 cliff carvings dating to 6000-5000 BC have been discovered "featuring 8,453 individual characters such as the sun, moon, stars, gods and scenes of hunting or grazing." These pictographs are reputed to be similar to the earliest characters confirmed to be written Chinese.[12][13] Later Yangshao culture was superseded by the Longshan culture around 2500 BC.

There is not a gap.

Fail.

 

To continue this wonderful farcical exercise in gross illogic, I certainly concur that such a long period is significant, although the main point here is that Chinese culture apparently existed both before and after the time you assign to Noah's Global Water Park and its immediate aftermath, despite the biblical claim that only 8 people survived, all of whom were local yokels from the Near East region..

 

We have to correct this for The Truf.

The early history of China is made obscure by the Flood of Noah occurring during this period, wiping out all of China's population and leaving no written record from this period, coupled with the existence of accounts written during later time periods that attempted to describe events that had occurred several centuries previously. In a sense, the problem stems from centuries of introspection on the part of the Chinese people, which has blurred the distinction between fact and fiction in regards to this early history.

Fixed

 

That's a non-issue, because there were a LOT of civilizations present on the earth prior to the flood.

but you finally agree that 2,490 years is quite a long time to resurface.

 

BUWHAHAHAHHA... hilarious.

 

The bible is outdated.

 

Not hardly

 

I really hate this tendency of the godbotherers to pretend that which applies in the non religious world also applies in the spiritual realm.

if God exists he would be above the mundanity of human legal processes. they simply wouldn't apply. what would an omnipotent being want with copyright?

anyone who doesn't understand this doesn't understand the concept of a deity.

 

That's the beauty of the Bible. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU THINK. the events of the world are still going down exactly how the Bible says it's going down. It's mankind's timeline. It's like gravity, YOU have no control over what's happening, all you can do is pay attention to it or not. I's your choice. So, taking shots at me does nothing for you, not even your egos....lol

Ever saw a train coming and all you could do was get out of the way or be destroyed? same concept here.

There's a train coming, can you see it? I know you can.

 

blah...blah...blah..get it off your chest whilst you can. doesn't matter.

 

No, If you believe so then you've totally missed the point of scripture. And you have to ignore a good deal of science and history in order to hold that cult-ish belief - therefore in order to believe the Bible is a 'literal historical/scientific account', you're required to lie to yourself - and according to the Bible, lying is a sin - so either way you're hosed.

 

Is the Australian Aborigine dreamtime the timeline for mankind's existence? The Australian Aborigine dreamtime predates the Bible by over 20,000 years.

 

My personal problem with the bible is baffling to me. God banished Satan from heaven and confined him to the earthly realm where he had created man and woman. God knew that we were fallible because it states it in the bible, yet there were Adam and Eve in the garden and who else was there, you guessed it. SATAN! God had to know that this wouldn't work out well in our favor with free will and everything. To be pitted against such an adversary as Satan, who hated God and all his creations. It seems like a game to amuse himself with. If God created the universe why did he have to put Satan on our planet with us? He could have put him anywhere far away from us? Then, when it went wrong, as he well knew it would, all of mankind had to be punished with death. Seems so extreme don't you think. Death because Eve ate an apple from a tree she should have stayed away from. I get the gest of it though. She disobeyed God. Should we in turn kill our children when they disobey us? It just doesn't make good sense and it's just too confusing. Religious people will argue that we just aren't meant to know all of God's plans and designs. I say why not? Why? Why must it be a mystery our entire lives? It goes on and on with all kinds of stories that make so little sense that people just can't interpret the meaning of all of it but they think they are all right about their individual interpretations. Some interpret literally and others not so literally but all together completely different. That's why we have umpteen different religions floating around and everybody's yelling and killing each other over who is right and who is wrong. Who did God promise this piece of dirt to or that piece? I don't know but I'll kill you if you don't get off my dirt! It's absolutely ridiculous! The bible was so important that God left it to man to write? He knew what was going to happen! Free will? We know how we are. For example, Today is Monday. I could type out a joke right now in the middle of this rant and by Friday evening it will have been retold seven different ways. Some of the original words and characters will have been changed and the punch line delivered wrong at least half the times it is repeated! Do you believe the bible is any different? Especially since it was written 70+ years after the death of Jesus. Old Testament, New Testament, it doesn't matter. They were both written by man and then pieced together by Constantine, a Roman dictator and his holy counsel of divine human beings. Do you see what I'm getting at here? I could go on to say more but the bottom line for me is that this book has been desecrated in my opinion, a long time ago. There are some good things in it. Good lessons and good ways to live by. It inspires faith and if you can have that faith in such a book then it's yours to have. I am on the fence and have been for most of my life. I can not help but to see the conflicts of interest in religion when it comes to the bible. Man is fallible and man wrote it. I believe there is much more concerning our history that has been left out purposely so we would not know the truth. I think the truth has been badly twisted and hidden throughout our history.

 

When you undertstand the Bible, mysteries becomed revealed. some revealed to some people faster than others. it's about the adaptation of the mind to the scriptures and the power of prophesy in them.

We are in the time of reckoning so many of the Prophets of the Bible spoke of. no other time in history is as connected and at each others throats as antions.not even Babylonian Era, Roman Era, Greek, Egyptian or Persian times. .
