As it was in the days of Noah [Spirituality & Religion]

A Christian lady asked God to give her a dream about how it will be at the end of the age.
That night she dreamed she was in a nice restaurant having a lovely meal and outside there was a lot of noise, she went out to see what was going on and to her horror bombs were going off and the foundations of the restaurant had been hit and would soon fall down.
She went inside and warned everyone what was happening and warned them to get out to a place of safety but most ignored her and said it was only thunder, some even became abusive
In Noah's day people were living their normal lives and Noah pleaded with them to come to a place of safety and they ignored him and thought he was joking.
We need to turn to Jesus, a place of safety before it's too late!

The Noachian flood never happened though. At least not as described nor on the scale told in the bible.

There are too many fields of science showing that such an event did not and could not have taken place.

So if you're afraid time is running out (the latter day saints have been sure it is for some time) then by all means, pray to Jesus. But maybe leave the flood out of it if you're hoping to convince people.

@Pikachu Sounds like you have strong faith in science. What will this science do for you in the end?

I'm not sure that faith is an accurate word.
Rather, I am [i]convinced [/i]by the conclusions of science.
I am convinced by the evidence that the scientific method is able to produce.
I am convinced by the way science can predict what we will find in the world before we ever learn it, demonstrating its reliability as a way know knowing what is true.
To do otherwise requires that one either believes in massive conspiracy or unfathomably compounded incompetence on the part of people of every nation, in hundreds of different fields all over the world.

But i guess that's the thing. I am convinced of the accuracy of the scientific method whether or not it tells me what i want to hear.
Maybe that's where my trust in science differs from faith.

@Pikachu theres scientists out there who passionately believe the flood happened, I remember going to one of their lectures a few years ago
Fascinating stuff

Very few and far between and often letting their religion get in the way of their science.

There are just too many reasons we can point to why the flood didn't happen in too many fields. Archaeology, paleontology, geology, physics, anthropology, biology....and all these fields and all these scientists converging on the same answer.

So maybe there are a few religious scientists who have convinced themselves that the flood really happened...but they haven't managed to make a compelling case to their peers or the general public.
