Noahide Fellowship

Sefer Torah Sefer Bereishis Parashas Noach

Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/megalophobia/comments/1clwjng/how_big_the_wave_is_on_planet_miller_from_2014s/?rdt=40171 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A solitary man, Noach, found favour in G'd's eyes, because Noach followed G'd's will for the world, and he followed the six commandments that were given to Adam in Garden Eden.

In Noach's honour, we refer to these commandments, as the Seven Noahide Laws.

They are not just six commandments, as the ones that were given to Adam, but seven, because after G'd sent flood to wipe out all life on earth, except for Noach and his family, Noach was given an additional commandment.

G'd brings about a flood to wipe out all life on earth.

The fish are exempt from G'd's judgement, since they were not involved in the debauchery that the humans at the time enticed the land animals to.

A man named Noach, his wife Namaah, his sons, Shem, Ham, and Japhed, Japhed being the oldest, Shem, the youngest, and their wives survive the flood.

Noach built an Ark to save his family, himself, and male and female of each of the animals that existed at the time. Of certain types of animals that can be used for offerings, and that might be considered "kosher", he brought 7 to be used as offerings in

All land animals, and all human beings, except for Noach, his family, and the animals in the Ark, were wiped out from the face of the Earth by flood.

I think this Parashas, Parashas Noach, answers the age-old question about Darwinism, or Social Darwinism: It is not the fittest that survives, or the strongest as considered by natural law.

It is the spiritually fittest who survive. As can be evidenced by this Parashas, in which only one man, Noach, and his wife Namaah, his sons Shem, Ham, and Japhed, and their wives were spared by the flood, the Great Deluge, that Hashem sent.
