Leaving them at 200,400 pounds of food and 16,700 gallons of water just for those two animals alone. I have not done anything else yet. The mental gymnastics required to try to justify this story and circumvent all scientific evidence and logical reasoning is staggering. You need to ask yourself which is more likely: • that the creator of all life, who knows everything, got fed up with some people's wickedness (which he gave us by planting a tree and telling two people who had no concept of right and wrong not to eat from it), so he magically floods and devastates an entire planet. In doing so, he hides all evidence of this event and plants mountains of evidence against it, thus being the biggest liar in history. ![]() OR • that it's a fictional story written by people who had no concept of science or even the world outside their flat Earth in the Middle East. ![]() |

RE: Animals on the ark
WELL, It looks like I got at least some material. I forget who answered this before but we are going to assume the animals were Adult since no where does it say they were baby animals as far as I know. Its assumed by some creationists that they were babies but I am going to "assume" a mother FUCKING MOTHER GRISLY BEAR would not let a human walk off with its offspring because he is magic.
So if Creationists can assume without evidence that they could be babies. I will assume without evidence they are adult animals. Hopefully when I am done figuring out what the animals are and google zoology web sites of what those animals eat in a day and drink in a day in order to keep alive. Just add and mulitply upward and then I should have a number of pounds of water and food that should equal to way the hell more then a ship of that size could possibly hold inside of it even without the animals and people occuping space. Not to mention blows so far beyond its Holding Capacity that a ship of that size that weighs as much as it does would shatter into wooden pieces or be forced well beyond its displacement ( if I can figure that out somehow) that would determine if it could actually still float. We are at over 250K pounds on a ship of that size with just the food and water of a single animal of the 14k animals on board. Will my math ever be right on any of this? Heck no! I can bearly do Pre Algebra! Do I need Calculus, a science degree or be a engineer to determine what happens when you add X and Y together? Heck no! |

So you're suggesting the raven could have survived for 7 days without ever landing anywhere... plus the time between when Noah released the raven and later released the dove, which isn't specified. After the flood there would have been uprooted trees and other debris floating on the water. There would have been plenty of places the raven could land.

The dinosaurs would have had to be babies because there is no way adult dinosaurs would have fit in the ark. If the dinosaurs were babies then it seems likely the other animals were too. Quote:Its assumed by some creationists that they were babies but I am going to "assume" a mother FUCKING MOTHER GRISLY BEAR would not let a human walk off with its offspring because he is magic. God kept the lions from eating Daniel; he could keep a bear from attacking someone who was taking her cubs. Anyway the Bible doesn't say that Noah had to go around collecting the animals he needed. Quote:And Noah and his sons and his wife and his sons' wives with him went into the ark to escape the waters of the flood. Of clean animals, and of animals that are not clean, and of birds, and of everything that creeps on the ground, two and two, male and female, went into the ark with Noah, as God had commanded Noah. Noah and his family went into the ark and afterwards the animals went it. It doesn't say that Noah brought the animals in. God brought the animals to Noah after he had finished building the ark. If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.

With all the hurricanes and tsunamis that would be one hell of a story. Are you fucking kidding me? Modern day boats, planes, buildings, etc cannot withstand the force of one hurricane. And you're telling me that a an oversized, primitive, wooden boat can not only withstand one hurricane, but hundreds? Just because you have nothing to "crash into" doesn't mean it won't sink. You're a moron if you think otherwise. *edit* Quote:Most flood models (including those above, possibly excepting Hovind's) deal with the water after the flood by proposing that it became our present oceans. The earth's terrain, according to this model, was much, much flatter during the Flood, and through cataclysms, the mountains were pushed up and the ocean basins lowered. (Brown proposes that the cataclysms were caused by the crust sliding around on a cushion of water; Whitcomb & Morris don't give a cause.)http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-noah...html#flood Atir aissom atir imon

So it wasn't in danger of colliding with anything, but there would have been lots of crap floating around? Also according to your bible how high were the mountains? Because I'd love to find out just how you explain away freezing temperatures at that altitude. The requirement of evidence to back your claim does not disappear because it hurts your feelings, reality does not care about your feefees. |

These are precisely the mental gymnastics that I referred to. You're taking a short story with major plot holes and you are trying desperately (or just quoting Answers in Genesis) to make the story feasible, and no one's even brought up problems with: • geologic evidence that rules out any Earth flattening apologist nonsense (besides, the Bible specifically states that the water shall cover the highest mountains (Gen 7:19,20), not flattened plains) • animals traveling thousands of miles, and crossing oceans to hitch a ride • trees, plants, flowers, and coral can't photosynthesize while submerged under an ocean, thus would be dead • rain is fresh water, oceans are salt water; most marine species would die in a semi-salinated mixture • geographic redistribution of animals • if the rainbow was created as a sign of a promise and sunlight didn't refract prior, god would have had to change the very nature of light itself • Noah's family would have to be carrying every known STD, virus, germ, bacteria, plague, etc. • two of every animal is too small of a genetic sampling: the inbreeding would have caused massive defects, disorders, and diseases to the point of extinction • both ancient Egyptian and Sumerian cultures existed before, during, and after the alleged flood I could go on, but (maybe) you get the idea. You even stated that Noah brought dinosaurs onto the ark. Where are they now, if they lived so recently? I posited a "more likely" question. Your answer alluded to a god that hides evidence, changes evidence, and creates counter evidence. Whatever happened to "Thou shalt not bear false witness?" |

I keep seeing this mistake. The air pressure and temperature would that at sea level. The entire atmosphere moves up with the level of the water.
