The flood is a Point Refuted A Thousand Times.  But there is still potential for fun.

A few pages later is a just as absurd story, but a lot more overlooked.  If someone says the flood story must be literal, than this second story must be literal.

The Tower of Babel.  How high was it that God was actually worried and had to scatter the languages?  How large was the workforce, and where did it come from considering the world's population was 8 people just a few generations earlier?  And since those 8 people were still alive (given the long lifespans) shouldn't they have said "uh, that's a bad idea" to those building the tower?  And where are the remains of this tower?

I'm looking forward to Ham's Tower Encounter next.

Lol. No doubt there is a bible belt state waiting with bated breath to offer tax incentives for that very thing.

And why didn't he destroy the world again when we created COBOL?
We 'new atheists' have a reputation for being militant, but make no mistake  we didn't start this war. If you want to place blame put it on the the religious zealots who have been poisoning the minds of the  young for a long long time."

All that unused parking space. Such waste.

Yes indeed. Think of the potential developments that could have made money for the state, versus Ham's wet dream of an "actual" ark to satisfy his inflated ego. Apparently his creation museum is not doing well either.

At this point I feel a little bad for the employees. At some point they aren't going to get paid for work they've already done.

And I bet the contractors are still owned money.

Yes, FORTRAN is the one true code ;-)

I C what you did there.

I had a boss once, who was a real man.  When he was in college, they programmed a patch panel for each run, by replugging the patch cables in a new pattern.  Before my time, but more manly than girly assembler.

Grace Hopper developed that system during WWII. They were calculating ballistics tables for battleship guns. There came a day when their results didn't make any sense, way off. They checked their "code", no problems. So they started checking the physical plant. (There's a picture somewhere of her troops standing inside the "computer" shifting wires.) The problem was finally found, a moth stuck between two contacts. Hopper took the insect and taped it into their log book with the notation "Problem found, bug in computer." That log book is now in the Smithsonian, the evidence of the first recorded computer bug.

Ten years from now Ham's ark will be a brothel stuffed full of Furries. Made to order, you might say.

Can I ask you a serious question? Are you saying that it is absolutely impossible for a global flood to have taken place?
