“I would point out that if you’re a believer in in the Bible, one would have to say the Great Flood is an example of climate change and that certainly wasn’t because mankind had overdeveloped hydrocarbon energy.”

-- Congressperson Joe Barton of Texas

Quick guess: is he a Democrat or a Republican?

1. The great flood is an example of flat-earth thinking.

The earth hasn't been flat for some time.

2. There is no geologic proof of the great flood.

Archaic beliefs need to be dropped now.

3. Wrong again, Ralph!

It's in the Bible.

5. Ha.

Ha ha.

4. Thor was supposed to have drank the Atlantic Ocean down a good inch

Where did all that water go? That must prove something about something or other, right Mr. Congressman?

6. There was a Great Flood in Greek mythology, too

Zeus was disgusted because humans had become vile and corrupted after he had unleashed all those vile and corrupt things in Pandora's box on them, so he flooded the earth for 9 days.

7. Christianity is cobbled together from many other earlier religions

and there's nothing unique about it. All of the myths - creation, the flood, virgin birth, "god" dying for humanity - is all in other ancient myths.
