Aren't fossilized creatures proof of the flood in the Epic of Gilgamesh?

I agree with science.

Some probably are and some probably Not, the First Chapter in Genesis and the First Verse Clearly states -In the beginning God Created the Heaven and the Earth. Notice the Full stop! after this the rest of the Chapter shows us an Already created Earth and Heaven, and goes on to show our generation beginning in what is known as the Six days of Creation the lighting up of the Heaven the new appearance of Land from the very void and dead sea and the RE-populating of the Earth!, and now 6,000 or some say 14,000 years later we find bits of what happened in an earlier Age.

Sure, OK.

Re-LA's response...Since you're so well versed in history, how exactly does Sumerian history explain that when Abraham, who was only ten generations from Adam, can go into a completely developed civilization, with a religion that has absolutely no mention of a mono deity? Besides, the Native Americans also had no mention of a mono deity...I'm not sure about their flood story but I do know that among the tribes, they disagreed whether there were multiple god/desses or none at all but no one believed there was only one.

the ark settled in ararat

gigamesh is a sumerian epic

sumeria is not very far from ararat

conclusion Sumeria was the first known great civilisation after the flood

from ararat to sumeria, making sense now dream stuff?

there are over 200 different flood stories, from tribe and cultures and civilisations that never met each other

the chinese talk about a guy called Nota, who packed all the animals in a big ark etc...

the hawaiians have a flood myth about a guy caled 'NO' who packed all the animals in a big ark etc

did the chinese ever meet the hawaiians?

but they have exactly rthe same flood myth, with almost exactly the same name of the 'hero' invovled

i wonder how that happened?

I like the epic of gilgamesh a lot more than noah's flood. it is easy to see noah's flood was taken from gilgamesh . great link, thanks

No. Fossilized creatures prove that there used to be many creatures that no longer exist. It also proves that calcium can be displaced by other minerals under certain conditions over long periods of time.

The epic of Gilgamesh is a fictionalized version of Sumerian stories.

There are five known stories of Gilgamesh that predate the epic written by Babylonians in 1800 BC:

1) The quest to find cedar woods in Syria (c 2200 BC)

2) The flood story (c 2350 BC)

3) The quest for the Tree of Life (c 2200 BC)

4) The friendship between Gilgamesh and Enkidu (c 2100 BC)

5) The Garden of Eden (c 2350 BC)

The remaining 7 tablets were complete fiction, all new.

(Several of the tales written by the Sumerians were based on the Bible's versions. Whoever wrote the Sumerian version of the Garden of Eden had a copy of Genesis 2-3 to work from.)

No. Couldn't God have created fossils?

Only, If they are Tiamut bones.

Sure it will if she believes hard enough... as hard as she believes in the bible...

I welcome science.
