He would have to sail around the world picking them up on the coasts of every continent and then redistribute them perfectly back where he found them. I posted this in the other thread too. Also, most animals can only survive in the conditions of their original habitat. Some need very specific temperatures to live, like penguins or camels. Did Noah have heat lamps and giant freezers?

I will throw out some points here:

1. The boat was big enough to hold a lot of animals.
2. They took very young animals so that they would take up less space. A baby T-rex is a lot better than an adult.
3. The dino dung they oculd easily toss over the side if they had too much.
4. They were fed by mana from heaven.
5. God helped Noah gather the animals.
6. They didn't have problems with inbreeding afterwards because the animals were more genetically pure back then, so they didn't have bad mutations.


Any other questions you need me to answer with impossible to prove fairytale answers that desperately try to prove the factuality of a myth? Bring em on!

They wandered back after the waters went down, then repopulated in their current positions.
He didn't have freezers and heat lamps like we have, but God kept the animals appropriately warm and cold when needed. God can do that, he lives in the gaps.

All it leads me to believe is that human beings, regardless of locations and beliefs, all share a common thought process and that certain symbols and myths are more caracteristics of shared human psychology and consciousness (see Joseph Campbell) than there was really a man who was told by God that the Earth was going to flood and that it's up to him to save the world.

Just like there are many variations of the "hero" myth in every civilization that ever existed.

you would have to fit millions of creatures in a ark... not to mention all the food it would need to feed them

not all creatures eat the same food some are carnivores and eat other creatues so how would noah stop them all from doing so?

They couldnt and anyone who beleives they could is a brainwashed idiot. End of thread.

1. Probably not, but I'll let it slide for now. But when you say "kinds" what exactly do you mean?

2. This is actually not biblically correct, since the Bible say "take two of every animal and its fully developed adults.

3. What about the dung of the animals below the waterline (which would have been significant, considering the weight of two animals of every species.

4. If they were fed with mana from heaven, why bother with explanations at all. Why not just say, all their dung was magically whisked away, and the ark was a transdimensional portal that held a zillion football fields worth of land for the animals to inhabitate while waiting for the waters to go down.

5. Same as 4.

6. I don't have much to say about this, because I won't risk saying something wrong because of my minimal knowledge concerning genetics. However, if the "genetic purity" had decreased so much from just 10,000 years ago, there would obviously be a measurable decrease from only 100 years ago.

I don' think you're actually a creationist, but there ya go.

^^^^Bro I think he was fucking around...but very nice if he was using his explanation as an argument.

No way they had fucking raccons and shit chilling with the cats and ferrets. And everybody knows that Rhino's and Chimp's are born enemies. They'd simply refuse to board the ship together.
