Flood myths
1 like427 views
The document discusses flood myths from around the world and their commonalities. It describes myths from Jewish/Christian traditions about Noah, an Aztec myth about a character named Tapi, and a Hawaiian myth featuring Nuu. All involve a deity warning a human about an incoming flood as punishment for humanity's evilness. The human is instructed to build a boat and gathers their family to survive the flood. The document suggests these similarities may stem from the biblical story of the Tower of Babel, which is also briefly described. In conclusion, it provides photo credits for images referenced.

This document summarizes and compares flood myths from several cultures around the world. It discusses the Jewish/Christian story of Noah's Ark, as well as flood myths from Aztec and Hawaiian cultures. All of these myths involve a deity warning a human about an incoming flood, and the human surviving by building some kind of vessel to escape the floodwaters. The document suggests these stories share similarities because they may derive from the common biblical story of the Tower of Babel, where God confused human languages.Info speech

1) Flood myths are found in every culture because they evolved from the Tower of Babel event described in the Bible.
2) The myths generally involve a deity who decides to flood the world because it has become evil, but spares one righteous man and tells him to build a boat to survive the flood with his family and animals.
3) After the floodwaters recede, the man releases birds to check if the land is dry, and is told never to flood the world again as seen in the sign of the rainbow.Jesus Feeds 5000

The document describes the biblical story of the Tower of Babel from Genesis 11. It provides context about the people having one language and settling in Shinar where they decided to make bricks and build a city with a tower reaching to the heavens so they would not be scattered. God saw their pride and ambition and confounded their language, scattering them over the earth and stopping construction of the city, which is why it was called Babel. Lessons highlighted are that human pride and self-ambition will persist until Christ returns and that technology can both unite people and push them away from each other and God.Christmas Tree and the Cross

The document discusses the origins of Christmas traditions like decorated trees and carols. It notes that early Christians adopted pagan winter solstice practices, which were later condemned by English Puritans. The modern Christmas tree tradition began in 16th century Germany and spread to America in the 19th century. The document also shares biblical passages about the birth of Jesus from the Gospels of Luke and references to Jesus from Galatians and Colossians about his role in salvation. It emphasizes that Christmas is meaningless without recognizing Jesus' death and resurrection.Salvation Lessons from Adam to Noah

The document discusses several key points from the biblical accounts of Adam to Noah:
1) It examines perceived differences between the creation accounts in Genesis 1 and 2, suggesting they provide complementary rather than contradictory perspectives.
2) It outlines important events after the Fall, including the first prophecy of Jesus, God clothing Adam and Eve, and implications of their disobedience.
3) It describes Noah finding favor with God during a time of increasing evil, and highlights details of the massive Ark and global Flood as portrayed in Genesis.Poetic response to art

The document contains two poems. The first poem is about Rosie the Riveter and celebrates her contribution to the war effort by taking a factory job while men were overseas fighting. The second poem is about a young boy who works in coal mines instead of attending school. It describes the difficult and dangerous conditions he faces in the mines at such a young age. The poem hopes that one day laws will prevent children from being forced to trade their childhood for work in mines out of family necessity.Noahs ark

This slideshow is a very basic interpretation of the Old Testament's tale of Noah's Ark. It is intended for the youngest of learners. Includes a brief story, and a lot of animals. The animals are catagorized into four types: farm animals, wild animals, birds, and insects- to give the children their first glimpse into animal classification associated with the story. Also helps children identify the meaning of "two".Info speech

The document discusses how flood myths from different cultures have common elements because they originated from the same source story of Noah's flood in the Bible. After the Tower of Babel incident, where God confused everyone's languages, people migrated worldwide and brought versions of the flood story with them, adapting it over time to their local cultures but retaining core similarities like a flood hero building a boat at God's command to survive the flood.Noah, then Babel -- Review of Genesis

Prophet Noah preached monotheism to his people but they refused to believe. God commanded Noah to build an ark, and when a flood came, Noah and believers were saved on the ark while unbelievers drowned. Archaeological evidence from ancient Mesopotamian cities like Ur, Erech, Kish and Shuruppak indicate layers of mud and debris deposited by a catastrophic flood, supporting the biblical narrative of Noah's flood as a localized historical event in Mesopotamia.14. the astonishing genesis flood, part 1

This document provides an introduction to a discussion on the Genesis Flood described in the Bible. It outlines key points that will be covered, including:
- The conflict between the scientific view of gradual evolution over billions of years versus the biblical view of a global Flood laying down sedimentary layers rapidly.
- Evidence that the Flood was a worldwide catastrophic event based on descriptions in Genesis and references in the New Testament, as well as flood legends found in folklore around the world.
- How the Flood reconciles the fossil record with the six-day creation described in the Bible, with most fossils being buried during this catastrophic event rather than gradually over millions of years.Evidence for the genesis flood

The document provides evidence for the Genesis Flood described in the Bible by outlining 8 key points of scientific evidence: 1) Abundant marine sediments are found on continents, which is unusual given continents normally float above ocean sediments. 2) There is evidence of abundant underwater activity on continents. 3) Continent-wide current patterns are observed. 4) Sedimentary deposits are unusually widespread. 5) Rates of continental erosion are too fast for a gradual model. 6) Flat gaps or unconformities exist in sedimentary layers. 7) Incomplete ecological systems are found in the fossil record. 8) Unusual coal deposits have been discovered. The document argues this evidence is best explained by a global catastrophic flood like the GenesisFlood Myths Essay Examples

Flood management in Malaysia relies on both structural and non-structural approaches. Structural approaches include dams and dykes to control flood flows, while non-structural approaches focus on flood forecasting systems, land use planning, and early warning systems. During floods, government agencies coordinate rescue efforts and provide aid to victims. After floods, the government helps rebuild damaged homes and infrastructure and provides relief payments to affected communities. Overall, Malaysia has developed robust flood management strategies aimed at minimizing risks and supporting victims of flooding.Noahs Ark

It examines details about the ark's dimensions, materials used in construction, number and types of animals brought on board, food and water supplies needed, and timeline of events. The author applies logic and scrutinizes aspects of the story that are not clearly explained or supported, questioning some details and raising doubts about the plausibility of a global flood as described in the Bible occurring as a literal, historical event.Evidence for the genesis flood

It discusses 8 pieces of evidence including: 1) abundant marine sediments on continents, 2) underwater activity on continents, 3) continent-wide sediment currents, 4) unusually widespread sediment layers, 5) erosion rates too fast for gradual processes, 6) gaps in sediments without erosion, 7) incomplete fossil records, and 8) unusual coal deposits. The document argues this evidence is best explained by a global flood around 4,000 years ago as described in Genesis, rather than slow processes over billions of years.Evidence for the genesis flood

It provides more detail on the Sumerian flood story of Utnapishtim from the Epic of Gilgamesh and compares it to the biblical story of Noah. Both involve a deity deciding to flood the earth to punish humans, warning one human who builds a boat to survive with his family and animals. After the flood, the survivor sends out birds to find land and makes a sacrifice.

- The Genesis creation story describes God bringing order from chaos over six days by speaking light, land, plants, stars, animals and humanity into being.
- Humanity is uniquely made in God's image to have dominion over creation and enjoy relationship with our Creator, explaining why we and the universe exist.mythgeologyk

The document discusses myths of a great flood from several ancient cultures around the Mediterranean Sea. It summarizes flood myths from the biblical story of Noah, the Epic of Gilgamesh, Greek myths of Pyrrha and Deucalion, and an Egyptian myth of Hathor's wrath. The document then compares and contrasts elements of the myths before discussing geological evidence that a catastrophic flood did occur in the region around 5600 BC, when melting ice caused water to rush into the Black Sea. This flood may have inspired the widespread flood myths across cultures in the area.Asa 2014-noah-voice-of-science

The document discusses a hypothesis for a Bronze Age global flood caused by impacts from a multi-nucleic comet around 2900-2800 BC. Impacts including one that formed the Burckle Crater in the Indian Ocean would have resulted in globally impacting storms, fires, tsunamis and flooding. This catastrophic event is connected to the Biblical story of Noah and is responsible for great flood myths in ancient Sumerian writings and many cultures. The hypothesis originated with Bruce Masse and the Holocene Impact Working Group.Noah and the great flood

Noah built an ark according to God's instructions to save his family and two of every kind of animal from a coming flood that would destroy the sinful world. Though people mocked Noah, he obeyed God. When the rains came for 40 days and nights, Noah and the animals were safe in the ark. After the waters receded, Noah released a raven and dove to find land, and God promised to never destroy the earth with a flood again, placing a rainbow in the sky as a sign of this promise.Evidence for the genesis flood

Poe was skilled at setting gloomy, depressing moods in his stories to foreshadow future events. He often included themes of people being buried alive, which may have been inspired by the real-life fears during Poe's time of mistaken burial. Poe portrayed women in his stories as plain, boring, and weak, reflecting the cultural norms of women belonging in the home. However, this lack of depth for female characters would offend people with a feminist perspective. Overall, Poe was talented but his works included dark, morbid themes and stereotypical female representations that could be analyzed through historicist and feminist lenses.Paper #8 langston hughess dream

Flannery O'Connor's short stories seem to have Christian messages and themes. In "Good Country People," the message is about hypocrisy, shown through the character of Manley Pointer pretending to be a Christian man but actually being a con man. In "A Good Man is Hard to Find," the message may be about grace, as the grandmother realizes at the end that she is as flawed as those she judged. "Everything That Rises Must Converge" touches on racial tensions of the 1960s and conveys a message of loving one another regardless of race. While the stories have biblical elements, "Everything That Rises" also incorporates a historical perspective on racial issues of O'Connor's time.Paper 1 # a rose for emily

Woody Guthrie uses religious imagery in his song comparing California to the Garden of Eden. However, the reality he presents contrasts with the hopes of migrant workers seeking opportunity. While they envisioned a "sugar bowl," Guthrie notes they are simply another number denied at the border. The document analyzes how Guthrie's less hopeful message may not have been as well received had it been a speech rather than a song. The writer listened to the songs on YouTube to experience Guthrie's comparison of California as paradise and contrast of migrant hopes with the reality of overcrowding.World c iv assignment 1.20.12

Saint-Simon evaluates King Louis XIV of France in this document. He describes Louis XIV as initially good and just, but flaws like vanity, jealousy, and the need to be superior prevented him from being a great king. Saint-Simon's presence at Louis XIV's court complicates his assessment, since he was required to flatter the king but also witnessed Louis XIV belittle others. The document implies that absolute rule can corrupt even a good king over time by inflating their ego and making them obsessed with glory and being superior.World civ 4.16.12

The document discusses ikigai, which for many Japanese men is their job rather than their family, contributing to Japan's economic success. Gender roles are also described, with men expected to work and support the family financially, while women stay home and care for the husband and children. Several accounts show men prioritizing their companies and work over family, and how taking family time off was once frowned upon. The gender roles expect wives to know their husband's needs and send him to work, and for husbands to assert authority over their wives and children when at home to compensate for being subordinate at work. These perspectives on ikigai and gender help explain Japan's economic achievement but also a high suicide rate from lack of family time.Recently uploaded (20)

Spiritual Freedom: Spiritually, being "free from prison" refers to liberation from the bondage of sin. The Bible describes sin as a form of captivity that can imprison the soul. Jesus' sacrifice is seen as the key to unlocking this prison, offering forgiveness, healing, and freedom.
Isaiah 61:1 (NIV): "The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners."
John 8:36 (NIV): "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed."

My attempt to explain how the metaphysics of the universe works using speculative philosophy and physics. I use the philosophy of idealism, consciousness primary, along with support from modern physicists who support this argument. I propose that the basis of the universe is non-dual monistic idealism. Using the Buddhist metaphysics of an unconditioned basis of being (infinite space-time & potential) we see how monistic idealism plays out in the non-random rules, structure, and repeating patterns of a manifested & conditioned universe. I also propose that the unconditioned basis-of-being is the G旦del "X" (unrecognized complexity) factor that explains the existence of the manifested conditioned universe per his ontological proof. Idealism can also explain the structural theodicy and suffering of the manifested universe, it is not a problem of evil but of ruthlessness for a purpose. Idealism also refutes a personal conditioned theistic God as Absolute or Ultimate, but does not refute (allows) spiritual power and meaning in the world. I include my Neoplatonic-like cosmological proof of God as the unconditioned basis of being, a terminal ontological ground-state (as brute fact), as being a non-theistic source of the universe. It is a long pptx, but it is a big subject.

In Acts 2:22-36 Peter concludes his sermon on Pentecost Sunday. This is the sermon that launched the Church. We find that the Peter who once shrank back and even denied Jesus is now confident, bold and impassioned. Peter lays out three proofs of Jesus Good News, the Gospel. He does so through citing eyewitness testimony of the resurrection and ascension of Jesus and by citing prophetic texts that were fulfilled by Jesus. He shows us that the Gospel of Jesus is a proven fact!Moon And Health Understanding The Medical Astrology Of Moon-Related Diseases

This presentation focuses on the spiritual battles we face in life and how, through faith, prayer, and obedience to God, we can emerge victorious. Drawing from powerful biblical stories like Cain and Abel, and examples such as Esther, the presentation explores key Christian lessons on trusting in Gods plan.
The core message revolves around three key actions:
Putting on the Armor of God daily, as described in Ephesians 6, to spiritually equip ourselves for lifes challenges.
Trusting in Gods plan, knowing that He works all things for our good.
Continuing in prayer as a means to maintain connection with God and seek His guidance.
With personal anecdotes, scripture references, and a powerful conclusion reminding the audience that the battle belongs to the Lord, the presentation emphasizes that victory is assured when we align ourselves with Gods power.
The visuals guide the audience through the journeystarting from the spiritual warfare we face, through biblical examples of triumph, to the ultimate victory in Christ. Through these lessons, the audience is encouraged to strengthen their faith and trust in God to fight their battles.The unjust reduction to the lay state of Bishop Claudio Gatti

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. Ephesians 6:1-3 Honour thy father with thy whole heart, and forget not the sorrows of thy mother. Remember that thou wast begotten of them; and how canst thou recompense them the things that they have done for thee? Ecclesiasticus 7:27-28Christians (際際滷show by: Kal-el's Shows)
