I know you are going to argue with me about this one. Many of you believe that the story in the Bible about the flood and that eight people survived it with a lot of animals is a fable. I get that. We are taught that people thousands of years ago were ignorant savages.

That is not true. Prehistoric is not before history. It is before accepted history. The history that some scientists accept. Other scientists and ordinary people like me know better. We accept the historical information presented in the Hebraic scriptures.

These other scientists will accept nothing from these documents because they do not want to acknowledge the creation of our universe or the one deity that it describes. I deal with this in my book “The Cosmic Flatulence Theory.” You can follow me as I finish this manuscript by searching for that title in categories.

If you have ever read the story of Noah and the ark in Genesis, I am sure that you wondered how all those animals could travel in a ship built by a few simple ancients. What many believe is that technology has developed to a point where it is possible for four men to design and build such a craft.

We are not told many things about the ship by Moses, who wrote the book of beginnings many years later. Other prehistoric cultures were thrown into disarray after a worldwide flood. Almost every ancient culture has a flooding story.

These tales have minor differences, but all agree that a man and his family saved the land and air creatures on a large ship. This is not the main reason that we believe that the people who designed and built this device had technology beyond our own. Let me share some other reasons we accept this idea.

The book of Ecclesiastes has Solomon stating that there is nothing new under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9) Some of us believe that the Bible is the truth without error. If from the time of Solomon there has been nothing new developed, then at some point our technology was surpassed, and it has been forgotten.

If everything that had been developed up until the time of this flood was destroyed and civilization was sent back to the beginning, then Ecclesiastes may be correct. Keep in mind that Solomon did not indicate that he was speaking of the time in which he lived. His intention is that nothing new could be created that had not already existed.

The story of the Tower of Babel is another common ancient tale that many cultures have. (Genesis 11:1-9) Moses tells us that after the Earth was repopulated post-Noah and the Ark, the descendants developed a plan to build a city and a tower. The tower was to reach the heavens.

Keep in mind that if technology were as advanced as we believe it must have been, then they may have had aeronautical experience. The story of the Flood tells of a firmament or layer that is believed to have separated the sky from outer space. We do not know at what level this layer existed.

The tower is thought by some of us to have been the first attempt to leave our planet, which would not have been possible before God ruptured the firmament at the time of the flood. We have physical evidence of some areas being dry ground and then flooding. Biblical and other tales of a layer of water falling to earth would explain some geological questions.

Eric von Daniken and other authors have suggested that there were ancient astronauts who designed Stone Henge and other architectural anomalies that seem to have been designed by aeronautically experienced people. “Chariots of the Gods” is his book that proposes a race that could fly and build structures that other ancients could not. Keep an open mind and research these theories.
