I will talk about both the animals on the ark and that crazy man in fish story when I get home. :rolleyes:


2 of each animal base form. Not possible?



Think again.

Sometimes common sense is simply believeing.  Evidently that is still to hard for some.  First you doubted the the capacity of the ark, now you doubt other areas associated with the flood.  You will always find something to doubt because you don't "want" to believe.  But, never the less, I will still try to answer your questions later.


No, the difference is that you grasp at straws and barely formed arguments to believe your fairy tale when mountains of evidence such as the fossil record and sheer common sense says otherwise. Common sense isn't just blindly believing some completely far-fetched tale, it's using your brain. Now use the fucking thing that god gave you and realize this is just a metaphorical tale.

No, the difference is, I have unquestionable faith in God where you don't. I have easily proved you wrong about the ark's capacity. Since you refuse to accept that there is no point in me proving anything else to you.

You are simply a mad little boy who got put in his place and now you resort using profanity in your replies. Sad.

Really? Common sense just means believing in something because you want to? You will always find a reason not to doubt because you "want" to believe...

My common sense tells me that if all the species or... "kinds" of animals in the world were reduced to a single mating pair the likely hood of all of them surviving and repopluating the earth are just slightly better than winning the lottery two weeks in a row. Odds are pretty slim many of them would survive the trip anyways. Even if by some miracle all these animals fit on the Ark i don't know how Noah could also fit all the thousands of tons of food aboard that would be necessary to feed them. Not to mention getting enough clean water aboard for them all.

I'm not not anti-religious or an atheist but I do not agree with organized religion for the most part. I have nothing against people who believe in religion but trying to legitimize silly stories like this seems pretty futile to me.

To be fair since all this water magically rained down from the sky before magically disappearing we can pretty much assume it was drinkable :P

It was probable more of a pole shift incident, the earth is mostly oceans, so they sloshed around for a while, covering all the land and overall, reshaping the entire earth.

Literally never happened. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertia and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_momentum for the reasons why the Earth didn't swap its geographical poles.

Not sure why you're trying to justify a literal act of god with (bad) scientific reasoning......


Not only does what you said not make sense, the bible flat out tells you it rained for 40 days.
