Al Gore says "we are still failing badly" with regards to Climate Change dangers being mitigated by the World Economic Forum. By this, he of course means that the world's wealthiest and most powerful underdogs need to do more to stop little people like you and me from driving internal combustion engine vehicles, or heating and electrifying our homes with affordable fossil fuels. Perhaps no one has told him the good news, that Japan's prime minister recently announced that country is on the brink of falling apart due to the inheritors of the samurai not having babies. Either way, on the plus side, this will mean fewer consumers, and a country with no people in it will presumably be carbon neutral. But speaking of carbon, I wonder what Gore, Jr. would say, whose father was once upon a time the VP of Occidental Petroleum, and sat on its board of directors, if he read this article from Answers in Genesis from 2006, by Dr. Andrew A. Snelling, titled 'The Origin of Oil.' Would he moderate his doomsday predictions, for instance, or reduce the footprint of his megalomaniacal demagoguery, if he believed God may have put that oil and gas underground with the Great Deluge? No matter, I suppose. Gore would probably still prefer Sid's theology and politics over Provorov's. The culture war has its sights set on the NHL. In the words of Michael Scott, from the episode of The Office which was removed from Comedy Central's rerun schedules, "This is an environment of welcoming, and you should just get the hell out of here." Meanwhile, those of us otherwise excluded can nevertheless cheer on the likes of Congressman Buddy Carter from Georgia, for putting forward legislation to abolish the IRS, and replace income and payroll taxes with national sales taxes. Or maybe we can affirm a different kind of couple, from the sort applauded by the woke folk, who love the LGBTQ++ in the name of toleration, but so often loathe and detest any who abstain from joining in celebrating vice, because they cannot do so with a clear conscience. William and Bonnie Daniels, for instance, married for 71 years, since 1951, recovered from an open marriage in the 1970's to stick it out the last 50. In their words, it just didn't work, but was very painful, to be faithless. And so long as we don't make any mention of Christian faith, and keep it all prudential up in here, I suppose Sid will be able to contain himself. Or else maybe someone will say Hollywood is for everyone, just like hockey is supposed to be, or the WEF's global agenda, and the Great Reset. The fine print in all of the above is that intolerance will not be tolerated, even if it comes only in so mild a form as refusal to affirm and participate personally. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/garrett-ashley-mullet/message

The Story of Noah is filled with chaos and destruction. From the evil deeds committed by Sons of God and the Nephilim to the Curse of Canaan we understand that humanity is still in great need of redemption and the natural order of the world must be restored. So God brings upon the Great Deluge to once again recreate what was destroyed by humanity. But who are these "Sons of God" and what exactly did they do to receive the wrath of the flood? And what do the Nephilim have to do with any of this? That's not the only confusing element in this narrative. Why does God use a bow, a seemingly destructive weapon, to symbolize his covenant of peace with Noah once the flood subsided from the earth? And why is this bow now pointing up at the heavens? So many questions! Does anyone have the answer? We discuss all of this and more in our next episode as we reflect on the Story of Noah. https://meredithkline.com/files/articles/Divine-Kingship-and-Genesis-6_1-4.pdf 15 FLOOD MYTHS SIMILAR TO THE STORY OF NOAH (mythoreligio.com) Yahweh, Creation, and the Cosmic Battle - Articles - BioLogos

Mankind has proven to be wicked and full of corruption, but there is one man who has proven to be righteous before God. Noah and his family alone have found favor in God's sight, and they have been charged to build an ark to prepare for the impending flood that will wipe out humanity. So, the Great Deluge falls upon the earth for forty days and all flesh on the earth dies. But the story doesn't end there...

The other day I was looking through my collection of Zecharia Sitchin books and that got me to thinking about the Sumerian Flood Myth and how it predates the Biblical Deluge tale by around a thousand years. As I was thinking about this, I slowly began to realize that there are more than just those two tales of a great deluge – there are, in fact, several. The Biblical Deluge tale is no-doubt the best known of them, but did you know that all other tales of a great deluge predate the Bible? Not only that, but there are many other religious tales of some kind of great cataclysm that nearly destroys mankind! The Christian tale of the Great Deluge is just one of them. And that, my friends, is what I will be investigating tonight on ParaReality. First, I'll take a look at some of the Great Deluge tales from various religions, then, in part 2, I'll discuss some of the other great cataclysm tales.

The Pyramids and Sphinx of the Giza plateau are possibly thousands of years older than mainstream researchers suggest. In fact, these ancient structures could well predate the ancient Egyptian civilization by thousands of years. Many researchers indicate there is enough evidence to suggest the Giza plateau was heavily flooded in the past. Interestingly, given the evidence found at the Giza plateau, the Pyramids and Sphinx could be some of the megalithic structures that survived the Great Deluge. Researchers suggest that the Sphinx, the Temple of the Sphinx, and the first 20 fields of the Great Pyramid of Giza exhibit erosion due to deep water saturation. Please Subscribe.

"He who saw the Deep" are the first words of the standard version of The Epic of Gilgamesh, the subject of this discussion between Melvyn Bragg and his guests which was first broadcast in 2016. Gilgamesh is often said to be the oldest surviving great work of literature, with origins in the third millennium BC, and it passed through thousands of years on cuneiform tablets. Unlike epics of Greece and Rome, the intact story of Gilgamesh became lost to later generations until tablets were discovered by Hormuzd Rassam in 1853 near Mosul and later translated. Since then, many more tablets have been found and much of the text has been reassembled to convey the story of Gilgamesh, king of Uruk the sheepfold, and Enkidu who the gods created to stop Gilgamesh oppressing his people. Together they fight Humbaba, monstrous guardian of the Cedar Forest, and kill the Bull of Heaven, for which the gods make Enkidu mortally ill. Gilgamesh goes on a long journey as he tries unsuccessfully to learn how to live forever, learning about the Great Deluge on the way, but his remarkable building works guarantee that his fame will last long after his death.
