Shall we discuss the Amalekites?

yes MOM

Amalekites, are a class of marine arthropods which are often well preserved and of striking appearance. They are believed to be extinct.

The Amalekite was a marine creature, and an invertebrate (did not breathe through nostrils)! Thus it was not one of the passengers on board the Ark. As a bottom-dweller, it would have been one of the first creatures to be buried, which explains why they are found so low in the fossil record. Indeed, the Flood could have been responsible for their extinction.

They are mostly between 10 and 50 mm long (3/8 to two inches) although a few species attained a length of 750 mm (2 1/2 feet). Amalekites are characterized by a ridged carapace, or shell, made of chitin, divided into three lobes.

Amalekites are mostly found in Cambrian rock which evolutionists claim was laid down hundreds of millions of years ago. Most people mistakenly think that these were much simpler creatures than today’s. This is actually not true.

sure why not

This is one of the nastier episodes of genocide int he Old Testament. God was mad at them for something their ancestors had done 300 years before and so he ordered the Israelites to wipe them all out, men, women, children, infants, and even their livestock. God was clearly in a foul mood that day.

It's a mystery to me how anyone can understand that section of the Bible and not come away thinking that god is a moral monster.

Hope this helps.

According to a widely accepted interpretation of Genesis 36:10-12, their descent is to be traced from Amalec, son of Eliphaz and grandson of Esau, and ultimately therefore from Abraham; which account is credited by most modern scholars in so far as it indicates the Arabian origin of the Amalecites and a racial affinity with the Hebrews. The Amalec of Genesis 36:12, however, is not stated to be the ancestor of the Amalecites, though the main purpose of the context, which gives the origin of various Arabian tribes, favours that view; but against it is the earlier account of Genesis 14, which can only be fairly interpreted to mean that the Amalecites, instead of being descended from Abraham, were already a distinct tribe in his day, when they were defeated at Cades (Kadesh) by Chodorlahomor (Chedorlamour), King of the Elamites. This evidence of their antiquity would be confirmed by the more probable interpretation of those who regard the obscure prophecy of Balaam, concerning "Amalec, the first of the nations) as indicating not their greatness, but their age, relative to the other nations mentioned in the oracle. No light on the origin of the Amalecites can be gathered from other sources; the Arabian traditions are late and add nothing trustworthy to the biblical data; and though it happens that nearly every passage of Scripture concerning their origin in subjected by competent scholars to different, and at times, even contradictory, interpretations, little doubt is entertained that the Amalecites were of Arabian stock and of greater antiquity than the Israelites. The belief in their Arabic descent is confirmed by their mode of life and place of dwelling.
