Well, as I stated in my own responses, it all boils down to a matter of
FAITH...
Almost all ancient cultures WORLDWIDE have legends/myths regarding a
terrible flood, replete with their own 'Noah' who saves at least a
remnant of the people/flora/fauna...and archeological digs worldwide HAVE
found evidence of a catastrophic flood at the same geological layer -- so
there would seem to be SOME basis in fact for such legends...

_I_ posted the statement you're responding to...the point I was trying to
make is that he's expending a lot of energy into making THINGS into
objects of worship...
It boils down to the fact that ANY religion is a 'leap of faith'...and
one wastes one's time by trying to argue 'objective scientific facts' on
such a subject...
