How did Noah get all the animals on one boat?

Oh, they may have been able to get 14,000 onto the ark (although they'd have to be very ill, because they will have carried a lot of host-specific diseases with them, and the ones with funny diets would have been hard to cater for etc). It's how they then evolved into over 10 million species in 4,000 years that I'm worried about. Little fast, don't you think? And how did they get home ::

Oh, and those freshwater fish, they're still bothering me....

It just didn't happen guys..!

What do you think of this idea, Nik?

Hey, Nikolai, Nikolai, if Noah's Ark story was fable, how come RUSSIAN navigators in WW 2 - and a shepherd boy in 1905 - were among the first to sight remnants of the ship encased in ice on top of the Mount Ararat Range of mountains? A ship ON TOP OF a MOUNTAIN yet!! And FISH skeletons ON TOP TOO!! Explorer Ferdinand Navarro has actually brought down pieces of gopher wood from the general area - and gopher wood is foreign to Ararat. Noah only took pairs of each KIND (Genesis 6:20), but he took seven of the KINDS of clean animals which could be eaten or sacrificed...average size being that of a sheep. The total animal population would not have exceeded 35,000 vertibrates. We do know the Ark had a capacity of approx. 520 railroad stock cars. Hibernation was a real possibility requiring much less space, food & care. Many were probably young animals requiring less space & food. And after the animals left the Ark they probably migrated over land bridges connecting the continents. Bottom line: literally hundreds upon hundreds of research scientists & archeologists - headed by Dr. John Warwick Montgomery of Chicago with three earned doctorates, a PhD, a ThD and a JD - are of the considered opinion that a universal flood actually occurred as stated in the Book of Genesis. To boot, the literal Table Of Nations owes it origin to the three sons of Noah after the Flood, Shem, Ham & Japheth from which we all spring! Finally I must remind you that the recent Tsunami tragedy clearly displayed how our earth & its features can be immeasurably altered in a very short timeframe. No, the biblical account of Noah's Ark is not silly in any way. What is silly is to dismiss it out of hand thoughtlessly as though there were no Creator-God and that the religion of "atheism," self-concocted as it is, was society's found money. The "atheist-agnostic" view of Noah's Flood is a bit like the story of Sherlock Holmes and the dog that didn't bark! Remember please above all else: The Titanic was built by professionals; the Ark of Noah by amateurs!

IslandRose,

What do you think of this idea, Nik?

Not a great deal. I'll make an exception for you though, and answer the article point by point - I usually only answer people's original posts (or else, I'd become flooded (ho ho) with posts)

In other words, we would expect the pre-Flood ocean waters to be less salty than they were after the Flood.

This, at least, is correct, although it misses out a key point - that many of the salts released by vulcanism are poisonous. Given that creationists believe every tectonic plate in the world shifted massively during the flood - this implies such massive vulcanism as to dramatically increase the temperature of the oceans, and also to flood them with poisonous chemicals. I'm not surprised they didn't mention this.

Many of today

Actually, I don't think the vulcanism and the tearing apart of the pangea occured until some generations after the flood........ In any event, a great deal of undersea vulcanism proposed by some would present problems for most sea species; but not every proponent of a world wide flood believes in the massive sub oceanic vulcanism, either.

Hey! You didn't answer me, either! So now I'm a 'troll?' IF YOU PLEASE!!!! I prefer 'Hobgoblin!'

[Bread_of_Life]

I would be interested in hearing your local flood theory though, just in case it's one I haven't run into before.......

Sorry!

I heard about the red sea flood happening in the last 10,000 years - that would leave enough of a mark in a culture's consciousness to form the basis for this particular myth.

best,

Nicolai, Nikolai, YOU JUST DID! Nikolai, Nikolai, it's still eminently possible for "atheists" & agnostics to get full insurance against acts of God! Noah - 1; Nikolai - 0. By the way, do you do Sudoku? Much?

Have a good one!

Yeah, but he didn't have to have any fish or whales or sharks on board. Plus, there are species of animals today that weren't back yonder due to cross breeding and the transportion of animals to different continents.

[Leonard]

Yeah; 'Red Sea Flood' 'Black Sea Flood'....every local flood! Same old, same old!

[CellShade]

He didn't, there was no worldwide flood. Tell your bro not to worry about it.

Also, there are about 14,000 genus' of animals - and over 10 million species. Hmmm.

Bread of Life, weren't you christian, changed to atheism, back to Christ, and now shall I say back to Atheism?

I just think of fighting the Noah's arc Historic moment is now boring, since even Scientist Gelogist and whatever you want agreed in a Global Flood had happened.

Expert Engineer have also agreed that the Arc was perfectly build, and could have hold msot if not all Animals, now exclude the Water Animals like the Whale ro dolphin from the Arc.

Also remember most of the world's aniimals are small animal.

And last but the most important of all, This was build following God's Holy Guidence! With this everything is possible!!!;

On the different Races of people in the world. The losing theory is a good fact, also I would add that maybe, one of the sons of Noah married a Chienese women? Maybe A black woman married another Son of Noah?, I could Go on and on, but trust me, The big Flood happened!.

Also a proof of how the earth can change in so little time, the Tsunami Made huge global weather changes aswell as platonic plates changes!, since it took out a a degree of tilted , The earth I believe was 28' tilted before, now t's 27' because of the Tsunami.

God Bless You All!

Black, whites, Chinese, how ever we got here after Noah, doesn't matter since God Jesus Christ Sees us all the same!!
