Noah's Ark - Do You Accept it as Fact?

There are so many things wrong with this. I just want the people who believe the event happened to explain a few things. And please let me know if I get anything wrong.

If you've taken a marine biology class of any kind, you should understand how ridiculous Noah's Ark is.

• Salt water and fresh water. If the whole world flooded, the two would mix, killing off tons of sea life.
• Every organism is part of a complex system. Even the tiniest change in one population could cause some serious problems.
• Temperature. Weather. Water covering the entire globe would disrupt weather patterns and cause mass extinction. And what the hell is going on inside the Ark to sustain such diverse life?
• Terrain. Water changes it. Again, this would cause huge problems that would render thousands of years of evolution useless (extinction).

And I think this just barely scratches the surface. Someone could write a novel on this!

And if it was all possible because of God, did He really take all these things into account? Does God know He killed more organisms than He saved? If so, why would he do that? That's evil if you ask me.

Lol no.BrianB0422

Lol, YES!

Mwahahahaha! :twisted:

Nope. Fairy tale.

You forget one thing Captain Science, he's God, science doesn't apply to him. With that being said I'm not debating this, I've made my point.

Well, the bible is full of scientific falsities.. which is why it should be discredited completely, among other thingsimaps3fanboy

Because after the flood he made a pact with man saying that he'd never again destroy the world with water.

It's a mythical story as perceived by the Israelite culture. It was used as a method to teach and show their understanding of God as they knew him. It's etiological, meaning it is meant to teach some theological point. Like most myth it may or may not have been based on some sort of true event, (such as a local flood). It may not be historically factual but it surely mythically factual and it teaches us a lot about the cultural understanding of Yahweh. ferrari2001

Aragorn is correct

You don't need to take a marine biology class to know Noah's Ark is a load of **** along with the rest of the Bible.

Yeah, but what did he do? Did he really kill all of those organisms? Did he bring them back afterwards or something?

How come everything was executed in such a stupid way? Just to prove that he could do it?

Was God showing off? Does he think he's cool or something?

Yes God shows off, and yes he thinks he's cool. He does things in such extravagant ways to show his power, so that people would believe in his power.

The story, no. But I think a massive flood at one point in time could have happened.

It's obviously not literal. JML897

Nope. Fairy tale.

THIS wins..I did however just see Santa..:D

Where did all the water come from? Did God make it?

What was the temperature and pH level of the water?

And please round to the nearest tenth.

No it's a metaphor of why incest is the only way to go!

Noah's Ark is not meant to be factual. It's metaphoric or figurative.

There is proof that a man did build a boat and filled it with animals when the "known" world aka Middle East flooded around the same time as the biblical Noah is thought to be alive. Nonstop-Madness

throughout history many cultures have recorded a major flood happening, i cant remember which cultures or really any specifics about it but i remember a while ago i read a big article on it, even the chinese have a record of a massive flood happening

LOL NO

The entire book of Genesis is ridiculously absurd.

7 Day Creation
Adam and Eve
Noah's Ark
Cain and Abel

According to the Book of Genesis, Yahweh is suspectableto some form of natural laws.

It took him 6 days to create and he had to rest on the last -- MEANING he used some sort of logical process.

No. Gilgamesh though - totally happened. -Sun_Tzu-

lol, does anybody?
