"To Jeff: RE Noah's Ark"
Hi Jeff.
A while back I saw
the best Noah's Ark documentary I've seen... unfortunately, I can't remember
exactly what it was called. I'm about 75% sure this is it: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00022AICQ/qid=1114012017/sr=1-10/ref=sr_1_10/002-6949115-0442458?v=glance&s=video
The show I'm trying
to recall was the only one I've seen that incorporates the Mid-Atlantic
Ridge into the theory.
In short, as all evolutionists
tell us, all the continents at one time were connected. At this time,
much if not most of the earth's water was trapped in and under the crust.
When the crust split (north to south around the entire globe... similar
to a plastic Easter egg), a massive, massive, massive curtain of hot water,
steam, ash and sediment came out. When this happened, a void was
left in and under the crust where this water used to be. As a result,
the crust caved in. Now the water was on top of the crust.
As the water drained back down into low-lying areas and pockets of space
under the crust, what was left is the landmasses we have today. You'd
also get the "young" mountain ranges and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
Surprisingly, the timing of this split-crust seems to fit too.
What really caught
me was that this ties up a bunch of loose ends in the Flood story.
Number one, we know that it never rained before Noah. With the split-crust
theory, this massive influx of water into the atmosphere would cause rain...
for the first time. It also would cause the entire surface of the
planet to be covered with water for a short time. And it would cause
the recent sediment layer that is yet unexplained by scientists.
I am a documentary
nut and I watch the History, Science, Learning, Discovery and all those
other channels quite often. I've noticed that especially in the past
two or three years, that has been a huge shift in the documentaries presented
on these channels. Everything from theories on the creation of the
universe to histories of the Presidents seem to contain inaccuracies that
I can dispute from my living room. Why on earth are these inaccuracies
making their way into documentaries without dispute?
Every so often I see
a documentary on one of these channels that I really like, but it's becoming
rarer by the month. I've also found that the writers of these documentaries
are becoming expert at mixing verified truths with unverified theories...
yet presenting them as one in the same. I've also seen that many
of these documentaries spend ample time disputing "traditionalist" theories
and little to no time disputing "new age" theories. (My terms.)
They seem to enjoy throwing in comments here and there that have and always
will be unproven, yet using these comments as some sort of factual foundation
upon which they build their claim. It seems to me that many, if not,
most of the documentaries on these channels are not attempting to present
all the evidence relevant to a given issue. Instead, they seem to
have an agenda from the opening credits and, like a lawyer in court, only
present the evidence that supports their agenda while covering up, or completely
ignoring, the evidence that counter's their claims.
I guess in summary
I can say that any of these documentaries on the above mentioned channels
should be taken with a grain of salt. The truth is out there.
But we're not going to get all of it from one source... and certainly not
from the Re-Writing History Channel.
