Social and religious reproductive failures have existed from the beginning of time, and these are evident today within the church. This study will focus on presenting examples of the failure of Mitzraim, son of Ham, and of Shem to reproduce their father's religious belief to their extending generations as evidenced historically and literarily through the Egyptian and Canaanite deities of Ptah and El. It is argued that the deities of Ptah and El are in fact the syncretized forms of Noah's own God, Yahweh of the Bible, and that the functional and syncretized changes from Noah's God to the later paganized forms occurred over only a few generations. The rather quick loss of theological belief in this setting should stand as a warning to believers today who may be disregarding their own duties to reproduce their religious beliefs to the next generation.
