do you believe the noahs ark story to be?

a.

e. A story which was quite possibly based on localised coastal flooding or the flooding of the Black Sea basin at the end of the last Ice Age when sea levels rose about 600 feet.

That there was a flood and a few people survived is quite possibly true.

What is laughably impossible are the assertions that:-

+ the whole world was submerged (if there was that much water available on Earth then we would still be submerged)

+ an ark can be constructed large enough to contain two of each animal on the planet and their food supplies (plus all the trees and other vegetation all in their correct environments)

+ each species can be founded on one solitary breeding pair

+ 'god' was in any way involved

Basically, the survival of a family and their goat on a plank of wood has been exagerrated to become some major epic fairy story that only the truly gullible would believe to be the literal truth.

The entire Bible including the flood account is accurate & totally trustworthy. No historical,archaeological,geographical, spiritual fact or any fact for that matter recorded in the Bible has ever been proved untrue . In fact science points much more for the truth of the Bible than it does for the ludicrous idea of macro evolution of man from slime as per Darwin. No evidence for this crazy theory whatsoever.

Historically C

With today's understanding D

d....sort of. I question the sanity and intelligence of anyone over the age of 12 that thinks it is a completely accurate story.

d. a story so idiotic that you question the sanity of those who buy it.

You know, looking at some of the answers, it makes me wonder just what does it take to be considered a "TOP CONTRIBUTOR" in the Religion section? Maybe you have to be sufficiently jaded against God, and have over a thousand points.....

It is the Epic of Gilgamesh, Tablet 11... seriously, google it.

Its a plagiarism of mythology.

C/D.

Please.

All the animals?

Including the ones we haven't discovered yet? And the trees/plants/fungus/bacteria/viruses/salt waterfish (this was obviously rainwater, thus freshwater).

That, and to flood the waters as high as it says they were, you would need more water than there even is on earth.

Two goats and a grubby family on a raft during a local flood, where does that fit?

C. Complete and total fiction

Just like Snow White and her 7 dwarves.
