"A FLOOD of NONSENSE! - Global Flood or Mass Extinctions?"

A delightful explanation of why the notion of a global flood---the Noachian Flood---doesn't make any sense.




................



Question: Is any of what Forrest Valkai, the host, said, wrong? If so, what and why?

You're talking about Mahammad, I'm talking about Mohammed who clearly flew on the winged horse to being honor to Allah, the one true God.
I like your style of debate. It's easy! 8-)

When has flying on a winged horse brought honor to anyone other than its supposed rider?

When hasn't it brought honor to Allah? Maybe you haven't been taught that the two are synonymous? One has to be taught to recognize the signs. Like Jesus washing feet: I could ask, "When has that ever brought honor to someone?!"
You'd respond by saying, "You'd have to understand the context! It was considered a great honor! By Jesus washing the persons feet it brought honor to God to show how Jesus thought to highly of even the lowest individual!"

Religion is all signs and narrative. You have to be brought up in the religion to understand it all. It's all pretty basic stuff.
“And do you think that unto such as you
A maggot-minded, starved, fanatic crew
God gave a secret, and denied it me?
Well, well—what matters it? Believe that, too!”
― Omar Khayyâm
