Quote dannyh at 16 Mar 2015 1.59pm I like the idea of God and Jesus and all that stuff of course, who wouldn't, but my adult brain thinks,,,no actually, it knows, that the bible is full of absolute dog toffee that has been proven beyond any doubt to be bollicks. Espeically the old testament crap, Adam and Eve Noah and all that old tosh. In fairness, even most of the writers of that era wouldn't really have expected people to take stories at face value. Classical literature of the time (and before) very much uses the concept of fables, parables and metaphor as key elements. No one would read Ovid's Metamorphosis and think 'ah right, that's literal'. Similarly, Rabbi's don't generally refer to the Torrah (and the old testament books) as being literal events. Although there is a lot of evidence to support the idea of a few 'great floods', the ark isn't supposed to be taken as anything more than a metaphor. The film is much better than the book.

No it is not. lets just suppose God is reall for minute, famine and drought have to be his (Gods) fault and if we are all made in his image and children are innocent why would he allow children to die of famine because of a lack of something as easy to conjure up as rain (considering he made the whole shabang in 7 days a little bit of rain shouldnt be too tricky.)
