The craziest part is HOW COULD THERE BE AZTECS, EGYPTIANS, OR CHINESE CIVILIZATIONS JUST 130 YEARS AFTER THE WHOLE WORLD WAS WIPED OUT SAVE 8 PEOPLE!
Can you imagine how long it would take for people to multiply, spread out and migrate from turkey to Central America and form a civilization??!!
How can anyone with 2 brain cells even consider this seriously??!!
I bet if this was ever brought up you would bring about the ULTIMATE cognitive dissonance in a JW.
Lol Babel... So Egypt just happened spontaneously.

Yes. It actually fuels the misconceptions of JW's that the scholarship of the world has all kinds of theories that are just so wrong- archaeology, evolution, carbon-dating, whatever they need to look at with blinders on.
I never paid that much attention because I knew "the truth." So is that what the WTBTS's teachings really boil down to? The flood occurred, and the 8 humans that lived incestuously reproduced so quickly that All the major ancient civilizations were established in 130 years? Can you imagine the man-power needed to build a Ziggerat on a mountain? Could that one structure be completed in 130 years?!
Isn't it more reasonable to say that Noah's flood covered the land, not the Earth? It takes nothing away from Jesus using the flood as an example, which would probably be a dubs first reasoning point.

Welcome to the matrix! You are peeling off the layers and and using you critical thinking skills. I have to be honest, even as a little boy the idea of millions of species fitting into one ark is simply preposterous.
I keep seeing y'all say "130 years." Between WTS's date of 2370 BCE for the deluge and the earliest date for Abraham's visit to Egypt in 1943 BCE is over 300 years.
When I asked the question this was the answer:
Why are you asking such questions, have you been on apostate websites? We don't know and the bible doesn't explain it so we shouldn't ask such questions because they only lead us to doubt.

Sure, but how quickly you all forget JW Logic 101!
The REASON that pyramids and cultures sprung up so quickly (like mushrooms) is simply evidence of the hand of SATAN!
Remember: If it's GOOD, "God Dun It!". But if it's BAD, "Satan Dun It!"
Any questions?

The thinking you describe is not confined to the JW's.
Back in the 80's before the information age If you bought a copy of the world Almanac
and read the history of the world.
It said that mankind just sprung up out of nowhere in Sumer in 2900 BC.
That was prevelant secular thinking in 83.
Now in the year 2013 the prevelant thinking of 1983 is viewed as rediculous by some.
The thing is all of us tend to believe whatever we read, especially if it confirms our bias.
I know many of you on here were just children or not even born in 83, especially the more
vocal ones who know it all.
I know the world almanac in the 80's was not written by JW's.
and what it printed was the common accepted belief of the day.
Two explanations to support the popular secular thinking of the 1980's is the bible
as Christians interpet it is true or
Ancient aliens appeared and shaped humanity and history.
There is lots of evidence supporting both explanations on the net but you have to take your blinders off to see it.
But if your happy with your world view continue on. Makes no difference to me.
