| "Since neither Moses nor the actual experience of the Hebrew tribes in Egypt can be confirmed"
I don't know if confirmation is the word, but Moses involved in a flood is written in all 3 major writings including the Koran. They are very different stories on after the flood hit but none the less, simularites. There was no word for "Earth" or for "World". There was no difference between Regional and world wide, the word translated was chosen by the church. There are numerous confirmations of local floods with silt layers down deep enough to be confirmed to the time period along the Uphrates.
Science has proved however that the Ark could not have came to rest that high in the mountains. If water would have covered the earth in that short have time, no human could have been able to breath no mater where the water came from. We know how much water is in/on the earth and we know how much water is in the atmosphere.
My source was just on discovery channel "The real Noah's Ark story". I agree parts can be confirmed (like locations and floods) and other stuff can be easily debunked (like the Ark resting on top Mt. Ararhat [sp])
Reasonable people will see that the stories could have been true stories that were manipulated to serve their greater purpose, like teaching Morals or teaching Religion. There is always a place for Morals in life and alot of people have none.  |
