Noah’s Ark just got more unbelievable.

Wild world: Millions of unseen species fill Earth

Ok, so the 8.8 million species, is probably a little far fetched.

However, we have found 1.9 million species.

Yes, that’s correct, 1.9 million species.

It would be impossible for Noah to:

1 - Build an ark big enough to hold 1.9 million species
2 - Run around and gather up all 1.9 million species.

Noah's Ark just got a little more far fetched!

 

What about feed them?

 

Ok that too

 

I saw that report earlier today..

Glad you posted it..

 

And how did all those species get to the Ark ? .. and then get back home ?

How long did it take for Noan and 3 sons to travel to the arctic to collect 2 Polar bears.. how long did it take to travel to South America to collect 2 Spectacled Bears.

How did the Spectacled bears get back to South America and what did they eat when they got there ?

The Ark made ground (2100-2400 BC) Supposedly there were only 4 men and their wives on the planet.

How is it that we find continuous culture in China, Africa, South America, Europe, Egypt, Mesopotamia throughout and after this time period.

There is no abrupt stop. Even if there was an abrupt stop, then what is to account for all the racial diversity all over the planet in such a short period of time ?

 

There is also the fact that the bible says he gathered 7 pairs of every clean animal and not just 1 pair.

 

The other thing is that's just the species that survived. Imagine how many became extinct on their journey from the Middle East to Australia, or Antactica or South America..........

 

Just a little bit of common sense renders the biblical myths to be false.

Whether be gathering all of the animals of the world, or creating a woman from a mans rib.

Rather ridiculous to the critical mind.

 

In a more literal sense, the bible says specifically how big the Ark was. The Ark was supposedly 300 cubits(450 ft) long from stern to aft, 50 cubits(75 ft) wide from port of starboard, and had 3 stories, and was 30 cubits(45 feet) high. Noah could not have possilbe fit every animal, 14 of every clean and 2 of every unclean, inside.

 

Ironic part of it all is that the religious right oppose evolution. So by default every species existing in the past and present had to have existed the time of Noah, multiplying the OP's figures even further.

Making the whole concept even more difficult to accept as being even remotely true.

 

Or they claim that it was just animal kinds and they have since adapted into all the present species not realising that adaptation is evolution.

 

It is not FEEDING them that is the worry - let us face it the carnivores on board would have been OK

It is the OTHER end of the problem that would have caused the most difficulty - unless of course there were some "special arrangements" made

 

Always glad to hear how more 'unbelieveable' something which God did is. It certainly shows that it was in His field of work.

Good grief.. after a week they would have been neck deep in poop.

"When you get to walk through the boat and see how big this thing really was, and how many cages were there, and how much room there was for food and water ... our hope is people start seeing that this is plausible, that the account could be believed..."

No freaking way.

Only ignorant small-minded people might think walking around in this ark mock-up will make the flood story plausible.

Noah's ark couldn't even support two of every kind beetle for a month, much less two of every kind of animal on the planet.

 

The problem here is thayt if you're going to excuse all the problems with Noah's ark by invoking a miraculous God, you can do away with the need for Noah's ark altogether by the same token.

 

That is because they are still a "kind" of animal, just a ridiculous term to get around the term species. Given that they refuse to accept the notion of different species arising from a particular common ancestor.

Such argument just go to show how little they understand about evolution.

 

Yes, because flooding the entire world was necessary when he could have just struck the sinners from existence. It makes absolutely no sense and contradicts all common sense.

 

Of course it is ridiculous. The Bible is for lessons (i.e. truths beyond the literal) (allegories).

The whole point of the flood story is that God gave us a clean start at one time. We messed it up, again.

The whole point of the creation story is that we rule the earth, we are all related, etc.

The whole idea that the Bible should be read literally is from weak minds--both the religious and anti-religious.

 

Only a limited number of species made it to the Ark. The current 8.8 million species obviously evolved from Noah's original selection.

 

LOLOL.. You are a little devil!

 

Why not say that the whole idea that God gave us a clean start is itself an allegory for the trouble we have with being good people? i.e. God is himself allegorical

 

Oh yes. And they evolved at lightning speed. Just think that all the diversity of life we see on this planet evolved in the last 4,000 years. Even an evolutionist would have a hard time believing that the diversity among only humans could have developed in only 4,000 years from only Noah's family.

 

Then why not use stories that involve god doing something other than killing innocents? Stories like that would make for much more compelling tales of morality.

 

Well, the RR agree that there is something called "microeveolution" or adaptation to climate.
