Is that a question or a statement? Remember these things with the curly line and the dot under them? I'll treat it as if it were a question: I don't know. Who said this god was happy that it killed its son? It seems to me that people killed the guy, if he existed, anyway, not some god.
I can take a guess, too: if he existed at all, he might have been a nutjob. One could come up with dozens of ideas why the guy committed suicide.
Nope, I didn't like church. I thought it was dumb then and I haven't changed any. Dad was cool, though. As far as I know my kids have always been quite happy, yes.
So you think this god has human traits, apparently, that you think it feels the same way about its kid as I do mine. I do, too. I think gods get jealous, angry, friendly, pleased, etc. just like humans.
Ge:7:4:
For yet seven days,
and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights;
and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
Nothing about raising the water level over the whole earth so it was 'flat at a depth that was above the highest mountain'. 21 ft of rain over the land portions of the earth. That much rain will cause the kind if flooding that would be able to lift the Ark (even in that type of flood some relatively calm spots would still exist, a backwater eddy rather than being at the very bottom of a steep narrow canyon.
Fountains of the deep are the source of the water (Oceans, etc) they interact with another 'of God's creation' to complete the explanation.
Ge:7:11:
In the six hundredth year of Noah's life,
in the second month,
the seventeenth day of the month,
the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up,
and the windows of heaven were opened.
Ge:7:12:
And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
In that time the weather did change somewhat. before the flood the inhabitable parts land was covered in a mist. It is more likely that the mist rose to become our current clouds than it being a contributing factor in where the rain got its moisture from. Warm winds blowing over large bodies of water and then onto the land is all that would need to be done. It could come as a drizzle or as a moderate wind ( I doubt the Ark was built for surfing one big waves). 6"/day is not a torrential downpour. A thunder storm can dump an inch in 15 minutes. You would get the same result if that rain made it's way around the globe as a slow-moving band of rain. In the Americas it wouldn't matter if the movement was east to west or north to south. It only matters that 21ft fall in 40 days. What would be left of cities built out of mud and clay? Silt would have covered many things and so would the waves that were there as the waters receded to the seas. What are vthe signs you should look for to find something that is like a flash flood. Tidal waves would push coastal rocks far inland and high in elevation. A flood in the other direction would be the sames thing as always except the 'silt' would contain large boulders. If high mountains got 21 ft then places in the path of the runoff would see much deeper water levels than the 21ft they receive. Current speeds would also help in removing all traces of built objects. Mountain tops all over the world would have appeared after the rains stopped. Whatever vegetation was there before the flood probably left a few seeds that could sprout. Where Noah was it just happened to be a certain kind.
The above isn't an attempt to belittle God, 40 days of rain that amounts to over 20 ft is not something to view as being a small thing when the 'at His leisure' is taken into account.
The one that came up with a globe with an extra few miles of water over the entire surface was ... well it even raised my eyebrows when I 1st heard it lol

How do you know they weren't Christ's footprints? Just the prints, no scratch marks like a long spear that had one end dragging would leave? They should overlap each other occasionally and He does claim to have been around during that time. It's in a journal type of entry that give His credentials to know all that is needed to be known by a Judge.
Job:40:20:
Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
Job:40:21:
He lieth under the shady trees,
in the covert of the reed, and fens.
Job:40:22:
The shady trees cover him with their shadow;
the willows of the brook compass him about.
Proverb:8:30:
Then I was by him,
as one brought up with him:
and I was daily his delight,
rejoicing always before him;
what about the two of everykind to fit in a boat like that? These sound verymuch like bedtime stories than anything else
Atlantis was a very big piece of the northern ice cap (fresh water) that was on the Atlantic Ocean. After breaking loose it drifted south and ran aground. Over the years ash fallout created a type of soil that was always just right for growing. It literally melted out from under their feet, poof not a trace.
Seriously that is what some have said the flood must have been like. Take the elevation of the highest mountain and add that much water to the whole surface and that was the 40 day flood, rather than 6"/day, that worked out to 250 ft/day I quietly backed out of that meeting.
Pretty much. The boat would have to be the size of Vancouver or something. There are literally millions of species of life ranging in size from microbes to African elephants (we know about 2 million of them and we're still finding more). Who built this boat? How long did it take? Where did all the wood come from? Who bailed it out after it started raining?
Grimm's Fairy Tales are more believable.
There may be one more thing that everyone is forgetting, the earth in those days being flat the water wouldn't run off like it would today, so someone should be working out a coeffecient.
Not to mention that it might take a little more than just hollering "giddy up" to get a lot of those critters, just to walk on the boat.
