🌲 DAY 12 of our 12 Days of Christmas! 🌲
🎶 On the twelfth day of Christmas, Eric Hovind shared with me… 🎶
a timeline that completely breaks the “telephone game” myth.
This December’s top post so far came from our conversation with Gavin Cox—and it stopped people mid-scroll:
Adam overlapped Methuselah.
Methuselah overlapped Noah.
Noah overlapped eight generations after the Flood.
That means there were only THREE sets of hands passing history from Adam to the Flood.
Not legends.
Not whispers over millennia.
But direct eyewitness testimony.
The Bible’s history wasn’t passed down like a rumor—it was preserved through real people, real lives, and real overlap.
That’s not mythology.
That’s solid history.
history.
Eyewitness Testimonies Confirm Noah's Journey Before, During, and After the Flood!

And stop calling me Shirley!”[/serious]
But direct eyewitness testimony
People saw Thor riding on his chariot. This is eyewitness testimony, too. So, who is right?
“Adam overlapped Methuselah.
Methuselah overlapped Noah.
Noah overlapped eight generations after the Flood.”
THere was no global Flood, Eric. It’s a myth. And it’s stolen from a Babylonian myth. You guys can’t even lie creatively.
“That’s not mythology.
That’s solid history.”
Oh! I was not aware that you had objective evidence that Adam lived, that he lived 900 years, and that he met Methuselah.
That Methuselah existed, that he existed for over 900 years, that he met Adam and Noah.
That Noah was historical, that his age is historical, that he ever met Methuselah, that he had anything at all to do with writing the Bible or an earlier version of it?
I thought all you had was a book of myths.
Retelling the stories your great-grandfather heard from his great-grandfather, centuries after it happened is not at all direct eyewitness testimony. Which is pretty unreliable, anyways.
That’s leaving aside that Genesis is supposed to have been written by Moses, who lived generations after the time of the Ancients…
Oh, and there’s also the curiosity that God decrees in the time of the Nephilim that “his days shall be an hundred and twenty years” (Genesis 6.3) (which, interestingly, is just short of Jeanne Calment’s world record of 122), yet even the first few generations after the Flood live considerably longer…
Yeah, well Captain Janeway met Captain Picard, who met both Captain Sisko and Captain Kirk. That must mean they were all real, too!
Even if we take that all that as a given, there’s still a gap of at least 1700 years between Noah’s supposed death and when the earliest versions of the Old Testament were written. Oh, wait, I forgot there were “ancient scrolls” which King Josiah found inside of a magical box, and no you can’t look at them… except said scrolls couldn’t have been *that* ancient, as they apparently included some badly garbled accounts of various historical events which happened anywhere from 800 to 1400 years after Noah’s supposed death. Hmmm…
[Edit: Changed “New Testament” to “Old Testament”, oops]
I am genuinely surprised that Eric Hovind hasn’t sold his house, his car, his dog, the shirt off his back and all ten fingers and toes, in exchange for a bag of magic beans.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
