Yeah cuz ya know, God can use natural things to do supernatural things. The Flood, for example, came as normal everyday rain, then it flooded the whole world which was supernatural. The Nile River turning to blood in the Moses story (forgot what that story was called so I'm just gonna call it the Moses story lol :lol:
) could've been this red algae mega outbreak. So yeah, God can use natural things to create supernatural things. And yes I am a Christian and I do believe in God
.
BTW, whats an upsurtation :huh:?
Haha, the flood is a copy of other religions. For example, in greek mithology:
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
"When Zeus, learned the degree of degeneration that the human race had reached, and after assembling the gods, had decided to destroy them[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
. All crops were destroyed, and the work of a whole year amounted to nothing[/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
. What had happened to the crops, had to be considered as a detail of no significance, compared to the waves that started to sweep away houses and shrines until the water covered the highest towers. Thus in very short time the whole world was turned into a wide sea without shores. [/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Lions, and tigers, and boars, and all animals that lived on land were carried away by the waves, the dolphin being the only one that could beseen among the trees of the woods. And also the birds drowned, for they fell into the sea not being able to stop and rest. And among those who were able to escape many died of starvation through lack of food.[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
But Deucalion, who was adviced by his father Prometheus in advance, constructed a chest, and having stored it with provisions, he embarked in it with his wife Pyrrha. [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Floating in the chest over the sea for nine days and as many nights, they drifted to Parnassus, a mountain in Phocis, where they landed when the rain ceased. For now Zeus, seeing that the world was a stagnant pool, and the only survivors were Deucalion and Pyrrha—innocent, pious, and scrupulous of right both of them—opened the sky. As the rain stopped falling and the waters calmed, land appeared once more, and the sea recovered its shores. Likewise the rivers came back to their channels, the hill-tops became visible, and as the land rose up the trees showed their tops, and finally the whole world was restored.[/FONT][/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT][/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Doing as Themis had told them, they took up stones, and threw them over the head, and the stones which Deucalion threw became men, and the stones thrown by Pyrrha became women."[/FONT][/FONT]
