Brief Saturday Bullets during Vegas-Vancouver playoff game and for Zoom this evening
• I am pleased with the finalized version of my Mom's memorial page. With the COVID-19 pandemic, Mom's friends and relatives are too far away and having to quarantine if they visit British Columbia; this memorial page will serve as an online legacy.

• In regards to racism, I have noted that within my Reformed, Christian worldview from the English Standard Version (ESV):
• Galatians 3: 28: English Standard Version 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

• However, many biblical Christians and conservative and libertarian types, intellectually are not interested in being told, lectured or influenced through liberal, social, political correctness, in how to respond to the great evil of racism. Like myself, his/her intellectual influences are not primarily celebrities, athletes and politicians. Like myself, these influences could and/or would be biblical and academic. To be clear, law and order should be followed and this means respect for all within humanity by all within humanity.
• I came across this website and link while researching Noah and the flood.

Yes, Noah's Flood May Have Happened, But Not Over the Whole Earth

Conclusions
If the 3.4-meter–thick layer of flood deposits in southeastern Mesopotamia (MacDonald 1988) represents a huge flood of ancient times, and if it is the remnants of the one described in the early Babylonian epics, then the authors of these epics were likely survivors who lived in a village on natural levees on the lower parts of either the Euphrates or Tigris Rivers where the flood waters covered their village, natural levees, and adjacent flood plains for distances of 160 to 320 kilometers so that no land could be seen, and their "whole world" would have been under water.
• I am not a scientist or flood expert, but I thought this approach above was far more academically open-minded than a couple of other online sources I came across today researching.
• I was aware in bible school that other creation and flood accounts were (are) extant. Creation, and the human response to it over time, and the flood occurrences would not only be Hebrew Bible events, but would be world events. As the Hebrew Bible is proclaimed as divinely revelatory, these other accounts, whether older or newer than the Hebrew Bible manuscripts, would tell these stories from a different worldview perspective. Rather than making the Hebrew Bible a 'rip-off' of older versions of world events, and therefore just different mythology, the Hebrew Bible versions serve as legitimate religious history with God that revealed self in several texts. Within the New Testament, the centrepiece of historical, documented, revelation is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Gary Habermas has excellent resources on the historical resurrection.
