Job 26:7 He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing. נֹטֶ֣ה צָפ֣וֹן עַל־ תֹּ֑הוּ תֹּ֥לֶה אֶ֝֗רֶץ עַל־ בְּלִי־ מָֽה׃ Genesis 6:17 For behold, I will bring a flood of waters upon the earth to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die. וַ·אֲנִ֗י הִנְ·נִי֩ מֵבִ֨יא אֶת־ הַ·מַּבּ֥וּל מַ֙יִם֙ עַל־ הָ·אָ֔רֶץ לְ·שַׁחֵ֣ת כָּל־ בָּשָׂ֗ר אֲשֶׁר־ בּ·וֹ֙ ר֣וּחַ חַיִּ֔ים מִ·תַּ֖חַת הַ·שָּׁמָ֑יִם כֹּ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־ בָּ·אָ֖רֶץ יִגְוָֽע׃ You're only fooling yourself. You've merely assumed that eretz (meaning land, as in "this land" , "my land", "the land of Israel", etc. must always mean "global." It would seem, given the usages in the Bible, that you are fooling yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My original statement was ... "And even if your proposition is correct, would it not be reasonable that if God created man as a completely different species, the DNA match would be much lower, not as high as 84.4%? In fact, man should not share any DNA with chimps. " You are committing the " reductio ad absurdum " facllacy, the the appeal to extremes. Your OPINION is noted.

Agreed. However, you continue to ignore that eretz can mean different things in different contexts. It is simply impossible to accurately claim that we know the meaning used in the flood context. The best we can do is state our opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
