Genesis 6:13 - "God said to Noah, 'I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.'"

Genesis 6:17 - "'I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has the breath of life in it. Everything on earth will perish.'"

Genesis 7:23 - "Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark."

obviously the ship was a spaceark and it took 40 days at FTL to transit the gap from the genesis planet to the present day earth

I can't bring myself to read all the posts in this thread being that right now it's 0430 and we ran out of "regular" coffee (graveyard shift) several hours ago.  However, I will say this:

I don't consider myself an intellectual in any particular fashion, but I must say that I find it amusing when people attempt to use science to prove or disprove biblical accounts.  I was raised a Christian and consider myself a Christian, but have absolutely no desire to set out to find “evidence” that such a story in the bible really happened (or didn’t happen).
I’m aware that some of my friends and family find this rather "apathetic credence" a bit confounding, but that’s how I live.  I believe in creationism and in evolution.  I don’t think my purpose for being was to convince myself of either, so I find comfort in faith and embrace scientific discovery.
I somehow doubt this thought process isn't exactly unique.

But if such discoveries of "proof" of biblical stories make other Christians feel more secure in their beliefs, more power to them... I guess. 
The pastor I grew up with had a similar attitude about some of that stuff.  Don't put to much emphasis on trying to prove God's existence or actions.
