Oh, I think they did. There's nothing left of them now to make a positive ID. Ergo, the "critical thinkers" will say it's proof of their nonexistence. Something similar (but not the same) is going on with Sasquatch. Until it's dead on a table for scientists to cut up, the conventional school of thought says the creature never existed. There’s always ruins left. And there's ruins left with Sodom and Gomorrah (and those three other cities that I can't ever remember the names of). And you'll say those aren't ruins, but just a natural part of the landscape. |

And you'll say those aren't ruins, but just a natural part of the landscape. There were plenty of mysterious, thousand year old crumbling ruins from the Bronze Age Collapse in the region by the time the Hebrew started writing their stories down around 600 BC. The story then becomes God musta destroyed the place for being wicked…just like preachers today say God used Katrina to destroy New Orleans because of the homosexual sinfulness. The ancient Hebrews, possibly under Solomon, consciously invented much their early history to sound impressive. If they had conquered neighbors so much with a magical box, there would have been accounts of it in the histories of the larger nations surrounding them who used stone, not fragile sheepskins or papyrus, to record their histories. |

Those other Bronze Age ruins weren't ruined in the same manner as Sodom and Gomorrah. That's why there's plenty of evidence for them. You won't ever find anything from Sodom and Gomorrah because it all burned up, just like Genesis says. |

But I guess God made all those thousands of people living in towns close to Sodom forget what happened. |

Some events can be cross-referenced in other ancient sources, like the Flood for example, but that doesn't mean they're going to be accepted as history rather than myth. Your question assumes that there were towns close to Sodom that were spared the destruction, and I see no reason to assume such towns ever existed. If they did, and the citizens there were just as crumby, then they got wiped out too, and good riddance to them. |

The story in the Bible is an extrapolation of a much older Mesopotamian myth. In Genesis, God destroys the planet in order to kill off the giant Nephilim, you know, my people. |

Are you saying those weren't in the bible? The problem with Sodom and Gomorrah is the twin cities never exactly existed. Most of the bible never existed but that's a dead horse. |

If Captain Bryce were here, he would do it. |

You can think it, but if you cannot prove you got nothing but a myth. And your myths is not worth dying for. |

Suits me. ![[shades]](http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/xuHnLEnLTSNptewaqJsQ.gif) It strikes me as ironic you should say that though, not worth dying for. When the day comes that the Noahide Laws are enforced, people will die, and I expect that I'll probably be one of them. I believe God is real, Noah was real, and the Flood really happened, but those laws are bogus as F, and that will be the deal-breaker as far as the Globalists are concerned. |

Sure, the flood happened. According to creationists, (edit, I first said this backwards. Fixed: waters receded from the north first, the south last, because south is down. That's why there are white people in Canada, dinosaurs in Colorado, and sea creature fossils in Texas) I'm not making it up, this is creationism.

The dinosaurs washed up in the southern US, because south is down and that's how gravity works. The last place to be flooded was the north and that's why white people live there. I'm not making it up, this is creationism. That's creationism for a-holes, a radical offshoot of creationism. |

Hardly radical. Creationism is about as scientific as Paul Bunyon. |

There’s no evidence for such event of spectacular portions. There should be all those millions of human and animal corpses around the world that never got buried because only Noah was left. Some of these bodies should still be persevered in low point sediments where these bodies would have washed to due to gravity. There’s none to be found. |
