because it is manipulated by the breeder......if you want a black, long-legged horse you breed selectively, not randomly.......

So? That was not a part of your question. Go ahead and rephrase so I can knock it down again, l dummy. Your question is stupid and only demonstrated your vast ignorance.

uh, no......God's covenant is that he would not destroy everyone again......the covenant would be damaged if you believe he DID kill everyone again.......is that what you believe?.....

The covenant was with all the animals on the ark; all living animals. "Never AGAIN will the waters become a flood to destroy all life on earth." That's what it says. It does not make sense if the flood was local. Again, it also creates a problem for the sermons of Jesus and prophesies of the second coming.

not if the local flood killed everyone that was disobedient........I'm interested though......why do you think this interferes with prophecies of Christ's return.....

There are very significant parts of the stories that are quite different. Your agenda driven source only looked for similarities.

Let's just take the first of your sources as a comparison. The Kurnai flood myth seems fairly similar according to your source. Only different in that God did not cause it or give a warning. Those differences are significant but still 4 out of 6 points are similar. Here is the Kurnai myth.

Long ago, a great flood covered the country. All drowned except a man and two or three women who took refuge on a mud island near Port Albert. Pelican came by in his canoe and went to help them. He fell in love with one of the women. He ferried the others to the mainland, but left her for last. Afraid of being alone with him, the woman dressed a log in her opossum rug so it looked like her, left it by the fire, and swam to the mainland. The pelican returned and flew into a passion when the log dressed as a woman wouldn't answer him. He kicked it, which only hurt his foot and made him angrier. He began to paint himself white so that he might fight the woman's husband. Another pelican came up when he was halfway through with these preparations, but not knowing what to make of the strange half black and half white creature, pecked him and killed him. That is why pelicans are now black and white. [Dixon, pp. 279-280; Gaster, pp. 113-114]

Yeah pretty much the same story.

Or let's take one that was similar on 6 of 6 points. From the Montagnais of Canada.

Being angry with giants, God commanded a man to build a large canoe. The man did so, and when he embarked, the water rose till no land was visible anywhere. Weary of seeing nothing but water, the man threw an otter into it. The otter dived and brought up a little mud, which the man breathed on and caused to expand. He placed the earth on the water and prevented it from sinking. After awhile, he placed reindeer on the new island, but they completed a circuit of the island quickly, so he concluded it wasn't yet large enough. He continued to blow on it and grow it so the mountains, lakes, and rivers were formed; then he disembarked. [Gaster, p. 117]

Oh yeah, that's almost verbatim.

PMP fail.
