[quote="Fluffy_Bunny":2bea9]It's bad form to engage in a debate without having read up on the subject at hand. All you have done is run your mouth with a desperate attempt to annoy & insult whilst giving no evidence to your arguments.

[quote:2bea9]
This long poem was written principally in the twelth century BCE to celebrate the city of Babylon. It recounts the creation of the universe and the events that lead up to the building of Babylon, home for the gods. It evolved from Sumerian myths and the text that it is taken from is Assyrian, an empire that followed the Sumerian.

The almost complete text is set out on seven tablets wih about 150 lines on each tablet. It was written probably to be sung at festivals in honour of the gods and Babylon. In its original language, it is written with no rhyme or alliteration but with some assonance that lends it a hypnotic sound. It probably sounded similar to Georgian chants in being sung by several voices.

This isn't a debate. I'm trying to help the religious folks here "see the light".
You are correct: I have no sense of diplomacy and little to no patience with
incompetence. Modern interpretation of what the Enuma conveys can make
it appear similar to science when associating the elements together in quasi
intelligible ways. So ? We did the same with Nostradamus. I won't bother to
look into it because I have no use for it. What you fail to realize is that THIS
is also nothing more than someone's take on how things came to be. There
is no shred of evidence or any factual datum to back any of it up, unlike our
science, which is making steady progress. In any case, I won't annoy you any
longer, as we won't be agreeing on things anytime soon.
