How did Noah fit all the animals into the ark? Serious question...

[Big Brother Val]

Kinda going on with the "first baby on Earth" thread... how did Noah get all those animals, insects, etc. onto the boat? Keeping in mind there are still species of animals we've never seen before... and all kinds of species that are now extinct, was he supposed to get two of every single type of animal that has ever existed on that boat?

That's the deal right?

Now... for anyone who doesn't believe in evolotuion, you have to say that he either got 2 of EVERY SINGLE ANIMAL EVER onto the same boat, without any lions or other predators eating any of the other animals, or he got two of each basic animal, and they EVOLVED into the many different species... such as various species of frog, from the two frogs Noah took, etc.

See where I'm going here? Because I'm getting confused as hell just typing it.

So either the animals evolved into other species eventually (which I thought took millions of years) or he just gathered every animal in the history of Earth, even some that lived thousands of miles from where he was, on lands that weren't even discovered in his day.

Can anyone help me on this?

I would also like to know how Jesus, or whatever other clown decided to float thy boat, fed the carnivore animals. Without the nutrition from other animal protein; lions, tigers, wolf's .. Would all have starved. So was jebus packing some extra beef in the deep freeze? or were some extra feed animals taken also. Thanks.

That's what I'm saying... was it one of those "God made it possible" things?

And if so, why not just forget the damn boat, screw flooding the planet... just kill everyone, make them vanish, keep the animals where they were, and give Noah a break.

I'm not downing religion, mind you. But some people say the theory of evolution is so far-fetched that you have to be stupid to believe it... yet THIS STUFF makes total sense?

A 900 year old man builds a giant boat, and loads on animals he has absolutely no access to, that miraculously don't try to eat him while he's gathering Bengal Tigers with what... his bare hands?

And THIS is ACCEPTIBLE?

Beefaroni it was Knoxville,God told me."let there be chef boy'r de"

Cute story I guess for the kids,but a fucking aircraft carrier couldn't carry a 10th of the species on the earth.(and I'm being generous).

It's all folklore like the rest of the bible.

Are you questioning your faith, BBV?

Bad stuff, brother.

I think the ark was the size of a small town or something.

(I'm trying to remember from when I was in church, and my teacher told me it was bigger than we could imagine)

Also, If the earth is a little over 6000 years old according to the bibble, then dinosaurs and man must have coexisted together. There would have been more land or wilderness before the flood, so dinosaurs and man did coexist. So did brother Noah take them onto the boat with the other animals? Maybe just the babies then, as they take up less space, eat less, smell less and wouldn't decide to munch on a Noah sandwich. Thanks again.

Nah. I don't really have faith to begin with. I know there has to be SOMETHING bigger than our little planet here... but I don't understand how some people can believe completely in this kind of thing.

Those same people discredit science and the Theory of Evolution because there's "no way" that could happen.

Yet this ark could?

You see Knox, that's the problem. The timelines in the bible V. carbon dating don't jive.

Science can't prove the existance of god, since there is no quantitative measurement of his existance.

You either have faith or you don't. It's a zero or one, there is no .5 on this scale.
