Noah's Ark???

Cam, that story is just ridiculous, like most of the other tall tales found in the bible. The bible may contain the greatest story ever told, but it's a fictional story.

If I built an ark...

Two words:

FISHIN' PARTY!!!!

Remember the bible says the locust covered the "whole face of the earth"? Then it goes on to say it was just eqypt. The same is true with the flood. The wording is just very bad in translation. You can make up your own mind if everything is true (Jere 8:8). Look at all translations of this! Now go read the first chapter of Levitcus to a child and you will catch the meaning.

sure that is genuine. a million. The info is interior the fossils that the position led to via the flood, interior the actuality that each and each lifestyle has recorded this adventure at about a similar date in time, interior the actuality that mountains comprise fossils of marine existence on their summits, and the record can move on. about the position the water got here from the Bible is really specific. the ambience of the earth grow to be saturated with vapors of water. This reason all around the earth a tropical climate without favor for rain. The Bible says that before the flood it did not rain on earth. Noah has positioned 2 of each species that would want to not proceed to exist the flood. (insects eggs might want to have survived, and marine existence also). flora can also proceed to exist the flood. Animals maximum likely entered a state reminiscent of hibernation on the boat and they did not eat some thing. 3. truthfully before the flood the earth grow to be composed of one massive continent with 2 populations of human beings (descendants of Seth and Cain). before the flood we see both strains blended and individuals grow to be wicked operating in route of magic, astrology, homicide, cannibalism and each and each variety of evil deed. because those human beings might want to be in basic terms machines. without loose will there is not any advantage to the human for doing some thing solid. because the completed planet grow to be affected by human sins. God is likewise in basic terms and punishing the wicked. Seeing truly the merciful fringe of God is a mistake. So Noah's ark isn't pretend.

The flood of Noah was not world wide. The word 'Earth' there is 'erets' in the Hebrew and it means a localized country or region. Scientificially, a world wide flood would be not only historically inaccurate (Chinese history goes right through it), but also physically impossible because of, as you say, the animals.

God took on the animals that were indigenous to that region so they wouldn't die out. There were other people in the world, so all the races and variety of people did not come from Noah and his sons.

Also, if it was a world wide flood, how do you account for the fresh water and sea water mixing? The fresh water fish and the sea water fish would be destroyed. No one answers that one.

The Bible has to make sense people! It's not a fairy tale!

It's just a book created by men to control men. Think about this, when he let the animals off the boat what did the carnivores eat? Lettuce, Soyburger, oatmeal?

No, in order to survive they carnies would have had to kill one of the mated pairs of species.

The theory holds no basis in reality.

**At least they stopped thumping long enough to give me td's

***If the flood wasn't global then it is easy to prove the bible is exceptionally innaccurate.

19 The water prevailed more and more upon the earth, so that all the high mountains everywhere under the heavens were covered.

20 The water prevailed fifteen cubits higher, and the mountains were covered.

21 All flesh that moved on the earth perished, birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming thing that swarms upon the earth, and all mankind;

22 of all that was on the dry land, all in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, died.

The simple answer is, despite what you might think Genesis says about Noah's flood; it was local, not global, in nature.

I will provide you with a link, to an article by Rich Deem that explores your question in considerable detail. There is no reason not to consider the flood account as factual, once you gain an appreciation as to its actual extent.

All events in these stories were accomplished by the God Yahweh through acts of science only known to Him and not yet known to mankind.

Building the ark is trivial. Controlling the animals would also be trivial for God. If the animals selected were genetically pure - subsequent deviations would be planned and normal.

It's "allegory": Galatians 4

God and LORD are not same,

as they gave Noah contrary commands.

Noah ended in hall of shame: Heb 11:13,39

POINT: Noahic grace + law isn't JC grace + truth; so

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Don't believe everything you read. If it sounds untrue (and has no reasonable evidence), then it probably is untrue.
