(Holy Koolaid) April 30, 2025: Could the story of Noah's Ark actually be true? Is there evidence of a global flood? Does science conflict with the Bible?
Even today, 40% of Americans believe in a literal global flood, but the evidence tells a completely different story.
Let's explore 12 undeniable pieces of scientific evidence that prove beyond any doubt that the Earth was never entirely submerged underwater.
Jimmy Bright Insight on Gobekkli Tepe, Turkey
From ancient ice cores in Antarctica and Greenland, lake varves in Japan, and tree rings spanning thousands of years, to archeological finds, delicate coral reefs, and cave formations that have survived hundreds of thousands of years — each clue dismantles the global flood myth.
Let's also explore genetic diversity that contradicts a global extinction event, intact ancient soil microbiomes, continuous written records predating the supposed flood, and how flood myths themselves reveal localized rather than global events.
Stay tuned for Part 2 to expose why the logistics of Noah's Ark itself would be utterly impossible.
According to Judaism, today is the birthday of Adam and Eve, who were created 6,000 or so years ago by Gods (Elohim or the Gnostic's Demiurge) when this world was created. Adam's first wife was actually Lilith, say Jewish texts, and Eve is Adam's younger replacement wife. Happy birthday, Adam and Eve.
A "JuBu" or "Jew-Bu") is a Jewish-Buddhist. There are many, Asher, Noah, Michael, Sarah, Shauna, Sheldon, and it's time to celebrate the cultural inheritance. One can be two things. Judaism isn't much of a "religion" to most American Jews. It's an identity, a connection to family, a sense of a tie to humanity, plus a business network of helping each other to make mitvah$.
We must always remember that Zionism is not Judaism. Judaism is a relatively young religion drawing on much more ancient local traditions (Sumerian, Akkadian, Mesopotamian, Babylonian, Bedouin, Muslim, Zoroastrian, Byzantine, Ancient Greek paganism, and Roman Mithraism).
Who Rewrote the Bible? (Dr. Day)
We are told the popular myth that Jews existed from the beginning of the world, 6,000 years ago in mythical Eden (somewhere in Mandatory Palestine), and Christians came later with the arising of the semi-historical Nazarene Yeshua, who as Issa traveled to Buddhist Tibet and India with a Jewish merchant caravan, who became "Caesar's Messiah" by the Flavian rulers of Rome dipping into the ancient Greek writings of the Bible telling a tale of this tribe from Israel.
Bibi thinks he's the Messiah, but I am.
That's Judaism (with a remarkable parallel to the oldest religion in the world, Hinduism, which isn't but is by embracing the ancient Indus Valley Civilization and acting as a continuation of the super-ancient "Knowledge Books" called the Vedas. A religion can begin tomorrow then claim a lineage going back to Gobekli and Karahan Tepe -- and instantly, in a day, it suddenly becomes the "oldest religion in the world"?
No, of course not; yet, both Judaism by claiming all old stories from that region of the world and Hinduism claiming all ancient Sanskrit, Vedic, and Brahmanical texts as their own, they retroactively extend their lineage by thousands of years; Hinduism began with Sri Shankara centuries back systematizing many diverse and unrelated practices in India and around the Indus River Valley).
Zionism is a crazy movement regarded almost universally as crazy until recently, which seeks to seize a homeland through genocide or any means necessary as long as the USA provides diplomatic cover, illegal arms, and military protection on the world stage. To get a homeland in the geopolitical Middle East, it made a "deal with the Devil" and the devil is the West, namely the UK, US, and now EU. This position has become the norm because of Christian Zionists being convinced that we need to send the Jews away from the West back to the Old World locations of their joint Bible to bring about the Second Coming of nobody Jesus, the Jew Yeshua a failed messiah/Jesus the Christ the Creator of the Universe, depending on which lens one looks at him, a Christian or Jewish one).
Judaism may have its problems as a patriarchal, old-school, Sumerian and Mesopotamian appropriating Abrahamic religion, but many modern secular Jews from Europe and the West have little to do with the Old World religion and more to do with an ethnic identity and cultural history.
Scholars says Bible stories have their parallels or origins in similar Sumerian stories, but this researcher says that's not true. What to do? We must read the translations or texts ourselves to know. Of course, no one says they are exact. The stories differ but with so many striking details that match that they could not have arisen independently or by chance. That is the point. The stories handed down to us have been altered and inspired later writers with themes and their takes on those themes. Few scholars confirm Zecharia Sitchen's views, but that is not to say that he had no basis for what he was claiming about the Anunnaki and Nirbiru, gold mining and enslaved humans genetic engineered to work.
Jesus Live in India (Kersten)
Spirituality is so missing from the way they were raised in cosmopolitan liberalism, science, academia, and left leaning politics that Buddhism (particularly Tibetan lore, Zen ritual, and vipassana meditation) makes a lot of sense and has a lot of pull. Just as Issa, Isa, or Y'shua of Yudea (aka "Jesus of Nazareth") had spiritual longings and sought their fulfillment in the mysterious East, so many secular Jews today feel called to Tibet, Ladakh, Dharamsala, the Himalayas, India (the real "Holy Land"), and the Far East in search of spirituality and fulfillment.
Issa in India (Holger Kersten)
The Jews, tapping into anything that could be subsumed under the rubric of "Books of the Bible" (apocryphal texts, canonical texts, Old Testament, Septuagint, Torah, Talmud), most of which never made it to the KJV or canonical Christian scriptures. Judaism kept many writings, fortunately. Unfortunately, since the ancient past, it re-wrote them to be about themselves.
We find ancient Sumerian and Akkadian texts, like the Epic of Gilgamesh, speaking of a guy we now call Noah of Noah's Arc fame. The story is much older.
So few people doing so much harm in the world
Agganna Sutta as allegory
The Buddha spoke of this phenomenon of mythology, history, and racial or collective memory carrying on long after people remember the original story. In the Agganna Sutta ("A Buddhist Genesis") the Buddha speaks of modern people in his time using expressions and customary sayings not seeming to have any idea how the sayings originated.
Similarly, the stories told in our (hegemonic) American are rooted in stories we do not even understand. We think we do. We have heard of them and read versions of them poorly translated from "The Bible" -- whatever collection of books, linguistic translation, and interpretation of terms we have decided that means -- and we now repeat them while scratching our heads at how stupid and nonsensical they sometimes seem outside the context of their Sumerian and Mesopotamian, Egyptian and Persian, Zoroastrian and Kabbalistic roots.
How did life on this earth begin?
Noah's Ark is one story we misunderstand and argue about, but a much sillier misinterpretation we bandy about is the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, the creation myth of the beginning of this world and our soured place in it.
Jews today, reading this archaic story reinterpreted from lifted sources by writers who that remade it about them, think today is Rosh Hashanah (New Year's Day, the "Head of the Year") and also Adam and Eve's birthday.
The Babylonian Map of the World with Irving Finkel | Curator’s Corner S9 E5
(The British Museum) Premiered Aug. 1, 2024: The Babylonian map of the world is the oldest map of the world, in the world. [In space they have older ones.] Written and inscribed on clay in Mesopotamia around 2,900-years-ago, it is, like so many cuneiform tablets, incomplete.
However, scholar Irving Finkel and a particularly gifted student of his, Edith Horsley, managed to locate a missing piece of the map, slot it back into the cuneiform tablet, and from there set us all on journey through the somewhat mythical landscape of Mesopotamia to find the final resting place of the ark.
And, yes, we mean that ark, as in the stolen story of Noah [appropriated from older cultures and flood myths, namely, the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh and Akkadian Atra-Hasis].

Ancient tablets from Sumer speak of a vessel that survived a worldwide flood helmed by Ziusudra (Eridu Genesis). We call it Noah’s Ark, a history appropriated by Hebrews from older sources.
A much older Cuneiform tablet dating to 1646-1626 B.C., about 1,000 years before the Bible's Book of Genesis (In the beginning") is believed to have been written and known as the Epic of Atra-Hasis describing a great flood was discovered in 1898. J. P. Morgan acquired it and today it is in the Morgan Library & Museum.
It has been found, and here is the evidence, including photographs. Visit it without any need to climb a glacier to get to it. It sits in Turkey, 17 miles from Mt. Ararat at an elevation of 6,000-feet. It
is man-made,
was designed as a boat,
incorporates principles of advanced hydrodynamics,
has decks and interior chambers,
is the proper dimension,
is in the right geographical location,
is accompanied by large anchor stones,
has been visited by religious pilgrims for thousands of years,
is consistent with the Bible, the Koran, the Torah, and the ancient tablets from Sumer, and
is surrounded by mountains and villages with names from antiquity relating to the ark’s landing.
This documentary was written and narrated by G. Edward Griffin in 1993 and features expert testimony by David Fasold, Donald Patten, Sam Windsor, and Marvin Luckerman. DVD source: Reality Zone (realityzone.com + VIDEO).
Could there have been a worldwide flood? Of course. It might not be literal, flooding everywhere and everything at once. But if sea levels only rose a foot or more, that would be devastating. It's an ancient Sumerian story appropriated by Hebrew speaking Jews who abrogated to themselves all of these events that were far older than Semitic tribes wandering around the modern North Africa. Mesopotamia (Iraq), Babylon, Persia, Iran, and all the places that may be called the "geopolitical Middle East" have connections to more ancient histories.
Tiny house to survive the coming apocalypse, made of a simple concrete pipe, fitted with a round wooden door, slats to a bed, add foam outside to make it float on water. Or stick it in the side of a hill to be a great, insulated artificial "cave" that can be locked. Hole on top provides light and air. Add more to build a pod or hive, a community network as in ancient Anatolia/Turkey.

Noah | Last Sumerian King and Lost Ararat Civilization: Matthew LaCroix, Julian Dorey, Part II
(Matthew LaCroix) Premiered Sept. 23, 2023: In 2017, the megalithic ruins of a mysterious civilization were discovered at the bottom of Lake Van in eastern Turkey. Combined with other new and incredible discoveries around the ancient lake, evidence is emerging that links a previously unknown and highly sophisticated civilization around Lake Van -- known as the Ararat Civilization -- directly to the ancient Sumerian bloodlines of Noah himself. The Noah's Ark story was appropriated by ancient Jews and made their own, but it is far older and makes more sense in context. Unbelievable myth turns out to be stolen and self-aggrandizing history of a "chosen people."

Zecharia Sitchin tried to explain Anunnaki Sumerian history
Dave Chappelle, Trevor Noah, Jon Stewart; Eds., Wisdom Quarterly
Who in the hades does Dave Chappelle think he is not jumping on the Anti-Trump bandwagon? There are reasons why Blacks and other non-whites might vote against their own apparent interests? The Democrats are bunch of backstabbers, so it's no crime to dump the largest political party in the country. But going for the explicitly racist and implicitly biased Grand Old Party (GOP)? No way. Still, backing a Honest Liar like Trump is not the worst thing, given how much Barry and Hillary lied, lied, lied about so many things. Trump lies more but is capable of telling the naked truth, too, unlike those two establishment candidates. Enough with our single party system (the Money Party, with its two wings, right and left). We need a SECOND party, and a Third Party wouldn't hurt either.
