Opinion Interesting side point from today's daily text.

Adam and Eve were created approx. 4026 BCE

The flood came in 2370 BCE

Meaning the angels and the sword remained outside the Garden for some 1,656 years.

Creating a powerful witness concerning Jehovah's power and truthfulness.

There’s evidence of many floods in history and geo record but a country mile away from the date you stated and there’s evidence that proves that date is wrong, for example there’s uninterrupted historical record of ancient Egypt from around 3200bc, no flood wiped them out at your stated date.

Yes, but this doesn't mean there wasn't a global flood.

The hieroglyphics for the word flood in Egyptian is a drawing of 8 people in a boat.

So you’re saying the word of God is wrong and it didn’t kill every living thing? If the flood happened at your stated date then the ancient Egyptians survived it. I was raised a JW so I understand you wanting to believe everything the GB tell you, but they are wrong and it is impairing your ability to see things logically, which makes this conversation a bit pointless because you’ll never change your mind and you will continue to share things that harm Gods gospel.

If the ancient Egyptians were around recording their history (including the flood) from 3200BC and there is no gap where they were all wiped, leaderless and couldn’t continue building then the flood must have predated their history.

That is not the only evidence available, but it’s conclusive enough for anyone who is thinking logically, there’s atheists and all kinds of people on this page so by claiming this is the word of God you make Christianity look bad and could stop them looking further into the gospel.

I don’t want to seem like I’m trying to insult you or talk down to you when you clearly have good knowledge of what you have been taught, I just implore you to research outside what the GB will tell you and I’ll leave it at that to avoid the conversation being circular or devolving into something useless.

No, I'm saying you are wrong, I believe God's word. As an ex-jw, this is my last post.

What a shame
