A couple tongue in cheek responses:

It was the fig leaf.

It certainly wasn't Eve, she wouldn't have hit him.

But I never heard of Lilith, until about twenty years ago. I am 70 now. I was paying attention, but not to what was happening I guess. I miss all the good stuff.

@dalefvictor

The word lilit (or lilith) only appears once in the Hebrew Bible, in a prophecy regarding the fate of Edom, while the other seven terms in the list appear more than once and thus are better documented. The reading of scholars and translators is often guided by a decision about the complete list of eight creatures as a whole. Quoting from Isaiah 34 (NAB):

[en.m.wikipedia.org]

Lilith (/ˈlɪlɪθ/; Hebrew: לִילִית‎ Lîlîṯ) is a figure in Jewish mythology, developed earliest in the Babylonian Talmud (3rd to 5th century AD). From c. AD 700–1000 onwards Lilith appears as Adam's first wife, created at the same time (Rosh Hashanah) and from the same clay as Adam—compare Genesis 1:27.[1] The figure of Lilith may relate in part to a historically earlier class of female demons (Akkadian: 𒆤𒆤𒄄𒀀, romanized: lilîtu) in ancient Mesopotamian religion, found in cuneiform texts of Sumer, the Akkadian Empire, Assyria, and Babylonia.

@t1nick Thanks for the information. How do you write Hebrew (I assume) ?

@dalefvictor

By copy and paste. Lol

@t1nick Thanks, had not thought of it, thought you had to know what letters to use then find them somewhere.

And THIS is why I named my daughter after her. She will be the equal of any man.

The ancients knew very little about fresh water or salt water. It shows in the writings.

Yea and where did they get all the food for all the animals, not to mention that the ark had no ventilation system, no bilge pump, no charts or radar........you would have needed approximately 3 or 4 cruise ships to ferry all of this around, let alone a 400 or 500 feet long ark?

@SeaRay215ex And how did a wooden craft built with primitive technology withstand 30,000 feet of rain in 40 days. That's 750 feet per day, 31 feet per hour, 6 inches per minute. No wooden craft built today could withstand it.

@BD66 For my own edification, what makes wooden craft unable to handle a ton of rain and where did the 30,000' of rain figure come from?

@JeffMurray All the earth was covered with water. The elevation of Mt. Everest is 29,000 feet.
Go outside during a tropical downpour and you are looking at 2 or 3 inches of rain per hour. The Biblical flood was 6 inches per minute for 40 days. That's about 60 to 90 times harder rain than a tropical downpour.

@BD66 But what if the Earth was flatter when god made it? Do Christians deny the natural processes that create mountains?

I think the better angle is to point out the fact that it can't rain without water from the Earth evaporating into the atmosphere. No matter how hard and long it rains, the Earth won't ever be covered in water... Their contention would have to be that god added water to the Earth to flood it, then removed it afterwards. If that was the case, there's no reason why it had to rain equally hard all over the Earth or that all of that added water when had to be added in the form of rain.

I think the most salient point in all of this is how fucking ridiculous the stretches are that are needed to justify this book yet people still believe in it all. ‍

@JeffMurray If the earth were completely flat, it would all be covered by seawater about 2 miles deep, so God had to create ~3 times more water than there was on earth for all that rain, then he would have to "blow it away" with a strong wind. (Yes, the Bible really says that).

@BD66 I meant just the land mass could have been flatter, but either way it's all fucking ridiculous. Do you have chapter and verse on the blowing away sitch?

@JeffMurray Genesis 8:1 1But God remembered Noah and all the animals and livestock that were with him in the ark. And God sent a wind over the earth, and the waters began to subside.2The springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens were closed, and the rain from the sky was restrained.…

@BD66 So is the wind just got evaporation or is it blowing the water out of the Earth's atmosphere?
"Springs of the deep closing" negates the quantity of rain/weakness of the boat argument though.

@BD66 Come on, you cut a hole in the bottom of the boat so the water can run out. Wow!

@creative51 Same place as did Big Sky Daddy Gawd, i.e. someone's imagination.

@Triphid Don’t repeat that please. The Dwarfs don’t like it when someone rubs that on their noses!!

@Rodatheist You do realize that it is Politically incorrect to call them dwarves these day don't you?
They MUST be referred to a being 'Vertically Challenged people' instead.

@Triphid I see. Then, some of us should be called “Horizontally Improved”?

@Rodatheist Yep, I'm quite 'Horizontally and Equatorial Improved' so it seems in political correctness lingo, but NOT from drink beer, etc, etc, but from enjoying my own cooking and other causes....LOL.
And as such in P.C. then those who are underweight/skinny, etc, MUST be referred to as being 'Horizontally Challenged.'

Except Genesis said he created the heavens and Earth, so that doesn't really add up, no?

It is just a creation myth. It doesn't have to be logical or make sense and can be anyway one wants to make it.

@creative51 It is actually the Assyrians btw, also they didn't run a 'Lending Library as such, in fact the Scribes under the Hebrew King, Hezekiah, merely 'mis-appropriated them' whilst doing a little light dusting of the shelves....LOL

Too much inbreeding in Florida?

ha no but really "Nod" is code, so to speak, but any etymology can define it
