That is a good point. The bible states that man was once one peoples with one universal language. That God chose we be confused by an imposed multi-language existence. That those then speaking common tongue gathered together and moved throughout the world to evolve to the languages and societies that exist today.
If we were once a common tongue and a common people, is it inconceivable that the ancients would have taken their stories with them. Most all ancients have stories of great Flood events, giants, mystical dwarfs, demons, ultimate battles in the heavens between good and evil, dragons, and great beast. Could these not be based on a common shared memory of historical facts lost through ancient languages being lost through the long age.
This would not make these myths and legions wrong, for they could all be based on an inherent truths. Some may be distortions derived through fanciful story tellers oral traditions. Geek Gods were the Roman Gods, for they were assimilated. Rome conqured a vast empire and imposed their Gods on those cultures who had their own deities. One was a small nation of Israel who had a single God. Romans crucified a Jewish prophet (I believe he was the Son of God) named Jesus and in less than 300 years Rome was the sit of the christian faith. Their 4,000 year old Gods crush and their temples deserted, because of the growing numbers of Christ believers. Rome could not kill these christian believers fast enough. Their shear will of their belief and conviction and willingness to die for their belief.
What did they see that brought about that faith? To worship the words spoken by a simple man in the armpit region of a vast and powerful empire, and be willing to die for their beliefs. I believed they saw something, and they believed.
Things die all the time and leave virtually no existing reminisces to even be fossilized. Yet there is this amazing mud layer found throughout the world, that captured a vast number of different species, encasing their bodies which allowed them to fossilize.
Is it so inconceivable to believe that vast mud displacements that would be caused by the Bible Genesis Great Flood event, may very well be the reason for these fossilizing mud layers? Such an event as massive artesian wells spewing waters 38 Kilomiters into the Air, would displace mud that could cover vast ecosystems literally consuming valleys and lowlands. This would trap vegetation, insects, birds, and land dwellers in single mud layer events.
I only described the mechanics which could accomplish the assigned task, as they would have to be implied. The fact that you believe that a single mortal has the ability to explain that which beyond all of the world sciences to explain. That that even a room of Einsteins could not explain.
You actually think a man can explain that mystery? That is why they are called miracles. I am sorry that I can not explain a miracle. That must make me a dumb man. Wait you can not explain a miracle either. You then use it as an argument to prove that you lack in the belief in God is factual and verifiable? If I can not explain something it does not exist, and if nobody else can not explain it then I must be right. You may call that wisdom but other may call it just being limited in your logic. You may be angry because God will not do pallor tricks for you. I hope you do not want him to dance on your string, and do your bidding. God owes us noting, and we owe him everything. I know you will not believe me, but it still does not mean it is not true.
Question: Would you spend all your time trying to fulfill all the wishes of a mound of ants? Would you feel obligated to each and every ant for thousands of years? Would you care if the ants could explian you? Would you even conceive that the ants could even begin to understand how to explain you? You exist and the ants exist and that is fact.
We need to stop trying to be god, and accept we are merely ants.
Oh sure you can, pure enough liquid in a cup and you can totally change the contents. It may hold no more volume, but it can contain better liquid.
In essence your statement is still true.
If a man's brain is that cup the the constant pour of positive or negative knowledge into that brain may still only hold a certain volume of knowledge as that cup, yet that cup could have also also gained wisdom or faith, which are hard to measure by volume.
In essence the answer is inconclusive due to the adding or subtracting of the unknown variable, the cup can contain more than just volume.
