How many different species is there around the world? Zillions, so... how could Noah get 2 of each and every male/female animal that existed on the planet in that era and fit them onto a boat that he built himself with only months for preparation. Given for all the insects there is, animals that live in different countries around the world like the north/south pole, polar bears penguins, austrailia - kangaroos, koala bears, the many different breeds of animals that exist, like how man breeds of dogs are there that exist now? Did noah travel over each and every centimeter of the earth to make sure he got two of every single breed of species and insect. How did he manage to build a boat which would probably have to be the size of a small country to facilitate all these creatures so that they could be fed, c**p, p iss and sleep without these creatures trying to kill one another? How did he manage to stock pile enough food to feed these zillions of species? How could he create an enviroment where it would be clean and sterile so the animals/insects aren't at risk to disease? Did he get two of every human being around the world, asian, arab, white etc? Long story short, this would be impossible to do in this day in age with an army never mind back then when it was only one man. so why do creationists and christians take this story as fact when obviously it's too impossible tto be true?

  1. He couldn't. It's a creation story, just like those used by Native Americans and indigenous peoples across the world.

    Only difference is that more people have heard about and believe in this story.


  2. It was an "Ark of Holding". Havn't you ever played D&D?  

  3. The same way Jesus fed a crowd or 100's with 2 fish and 7 loaves of bread. If you're not Christian you just wont get it or understand. Its the way the Lord works. It has to do with faith and the power of God. Like I said if you think too literal and you don't believe you just wont understand. Trying to prove to a Christian that their beliefs are wrong just wont work. Its called faith.

  4. With the help of God, Noah built an ark with normal wood outside, but inside it was built in an interdimensional space.   The space is unlimited.   Something similiar to the Tardes on doctor who.   Noah also used the transporters like on startrek to  get all the animals inside quickly.

  5. god?

  6. They all lived in walking distance of Noahs house...even stinkbeetles

    pfft..yeah right.

  7. One issue that is often raised against Christianity is Noah's Ark and the Flood. Did it really happen? Did the flood really cover the whole world? Is there enough water on earth to cover all the land? Could the ark really hold two of every kind of animal in the world? Though these might be intimidating questions, the answer to each is a resounding, "Yes."

          God said to Noah in Genesis 6:14-16, "So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. Make a roof for it and finish the ark to within 18 inches of the top. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks" (NIV). According to God's Word, Noah built the ark. Eight people entered it and all humanity died in the ensuing flood.

          Did the flood really happen? Yes. Jesus said in Matt. 24:37-39 that the flood happened. Go to this Link :http://www.carm.org/questions/noahsark.h...

  8. Because Noah did not do it God did... And the Dinosaurs were already  long gone before Noah ever existed...............

  9. Erm, in a nutshell? He didn't. I don't believe in fairy stories! ;-)

  10. The truth of the story is not a collection of historical and scientific facts, but that it teaches about a just God and His interactions with an imperfect people.  He rewards those who follow Him.

  11. I think it's mythology.

  12. With God's help.  Can you explain the physiology of the human brain?  Of course not.  You finite mind cannot comprehend the miracle working of an infinitely powerful God.

  13. well it's just a story but a good one

  14. In The Attra Hasis the original deluge story the flood hero is Ziusudra / Utnapishtim. Genesis is nothing more than a rewritten reinterpreted version of the Sumerian account. It was Enki a god among the gods who warned Utnapishtim of a coming deluge. It was Enlil when sent a comet close to the earth after a argument with Enki. In Genesis you can see where Enlil tells Utnapishtim / Noah to take 2 of each animal. Then Enki tells Noah to take 7 of each animals. Their was no Yahweh their Yahweh sent gods to run the world. Yahweh (El Elyon) was the primordial who only made special appearences on special accasions.

  15. Just look at the unicorns lol. Gosh, if unicorns were real, why haven't we found any fossils?!

  16. Well We dont know anything for sure. You just have to beleive that its true. The bible Is what christains worship...They will believe anything.
