Hey, I'm new and thought I'd chime in. So you know where I'm coming from, I am a Christian and I do believe the Bible is true.

I completely agree. I think it is more a book of morality, than a book of facts. I think the historical events were written down by individuals with a much more limited knowledge of the scientific world than we have, and that they should not be scrutinized for that. A bit of understanding is necessary. To illustrate this point in the past, I pointed out that in the Bible helicopters are described in a vision as Giant Fireflies, or something like that. They describe thinks according to the knowledge available then.

Concerning the flood account. I do not believe that it is necessary to see the flood account of Genesis 6-8 as a global flood.

Noahs ark huh?

 

I believe in the story, but bare in mind that the stories contained in the bible are supernatural.Just as jesus fed hundreds of curious followers with just five fish and two loaves of bread....and he walked on water and rebuked the storm to stillness.When your dealing with the supernatural all logic fails.The bible simplifies the mechanics that are beyond our mortal understanding.

To all you biblethumpers; what was the name of Noah's wife?

There does not seem to be any passages in the Bible referring to her other than the account beginning in Genesis 7:7 which mentions Noah's wife. His wife is not named in the Bible for certain; however, according to Jewish tradition her name is Naamah.

 

Why Tubal-cain's sister (a daughter of Lamech by his wife Zillah, and sister of Tubal-cain, a descendant of Cain) should be specifically mentioned is unknown. Jewish tradition made her Noah's wife. Her name, meaning "the beautiful" or "the pleasant one," reflects the worldly mind of the Cainites, who looked for beauty rather than for character as the chief attraction in women.
