Biblical 'Noah' Believer Baffled by Basic Questions

[@DarkMatter2525]

They'll jump through hoops to try to explain what they ate on the ark, and even the bible says Noah brought food onto the Ark, but that doesn't explain what they ate after they got off the Ark. The world would've been devastated, the vegetation dead, and there still would've been no other animals.

[@darkeyedgirl005]

Jens Olesen And he really minded during the Greek and Roman empires, the Ottoman empire, the Persian empire, all the Dynasties of China and Japan, and even the barbarities of Native American tribes. All of these are recorded to have a homosexual undercurrent and a few of them were public about their enjoyment of children of either gender. If there is a God, there is only one reason he cares about where humans put their dicks. It's because he doesn't have one.

[@tarkamlokar9709]

He could just create a dick if he wanted. Allegedly the christian god is omnipotent.

[@darkeyedgirl005]

Jens Olesen So close...the Christian God is actually impotent. He can't give himself a dick. Dicks can't have dicks. Why do I call Him a dick? Read His book, it's the perfect guide to how anyone can use nigh omnipotent power to be the universe's biggest douchebag and still have people idolize you. It's insane, when it's taken as a manual for exactly what is needed to be a God among men. Try it out, it's worth it. Keep your hand on your junk, tho. Apparently, the creator of the Bible has no dick. I learned that from a very credible source (me!).

[@FECtetra1918]

1) No Ark has EVER been found. 2) Men CANNOT live 950 years. 3) Carnivors would have eaten their preys. 4) Noah was told to make an ark that is 450 feet long. The largest wooden ships ever built were just over 300 feet. 5) How did the animals from, let's say, Australia, manage to get to the ark? 6) How did he manage to find and care for the hundreds of thousands of parasitic species or the hundreds of thousands of plant species? 7) How the fuck did he manage to put trees on the ark? Redwood trees, for example. 8) The flood covered the highest mountain tops (Mount Everest?) with fifteen cubits to spare. Where did all the water come from? Where did it all go? Why is there no evidence of such a massive flood in the geological record? 9) God is filled with remorse for having drowned his creatures in the flood. He even puts the rainbow in the sky so that whenever the animals see it they will remember. But rainbows are caused by the nature of light, the refractive index of water, and the shape of raindrops. There were rainbows billions of years before humans existed. 10) What did the animals eat after the flood? There were no plants and whatever prey they ate would have gone extinct. 11) What did Noah's family eat after the flood? The animals they had just saved? Fruits? 12) After the flood, Noah kills the “clean beasts” and burns their dead bodies for God. This would have caused the extinction of all “clean” animals. 13) How did 8 people repopulate the Earth? Incest? 14) How the fuck did he manage to put dinossaurs on the ark? 15) How the fuck does an adult - in 2014 - believe such a pathetic story?

[@yapuastink5525]

Bravo sir

[@NefariousVirtuoso88]

errrr magic you're far too logical for this bullshit - the answer to something that makes no sense is MAGIC

[@TimothyBukowskiApologist]

Sir, these are basic questions that I love to answer! 1. Sadly, probably destroyed in some way (natural) Sad, but true, the wood probably decayed. 2. I has to do with the past genetics in the Bible 3. God created animals as herbivores. This is a uniformatarianistic view...The law of carnivory didn't exist till after the flood.... 4. Who said Noah was unskilled? There are MANY evidences of GREAT skill in early humans. Also, from a BIBLICAL worldview, God MAY have somehow had a divine intervention, but even by natural standards, him and his hands had MUCH time to do this, and is by no means impossible 5. There was no 'Australia' The continents were actually probably connected (LIKE Pangea) before the flood. 6. He didn't.... He was told to bring all the KINDS of LAND animals....No bugs or fish, or bacteria etc. 7. He didn't put trees on. The seeds survived. Seeds in plants are VERY fascinating. Many can survive the soaking in salt water, and some could have survived in vegetation masses, clumped together during the flood. They also could have survived through preservation in volcanic pumice (There was SO MUCH volcanic activity on Earth during and right after the flood.) 8. Genesis 7:11 says that 'all of the springs of the great deep burst'. Most likely this was an explosion in the mantle. The water came from the mantle. Most geologists agree that the mantle still contains enough makeup of water that it could fill the oceans TEN times. Where did it go? It's in the ocean. The hypsographics show the amount of the earth’s surface at (or higher than) various elevations. It illustrates that if the ocean basins were pushed up 5 km and the mountains shaved off, water would cover the entire earth. Such tectonic movements seem huge to us, but compared with the radius of the earth, (6,378 km), the movement is tiny, less than 0.1%. There IS evidence. It's in all the fossils! Fossils require the dead organism to VERY QUICKLY be buried in sediments, and guess what? That's what a global flood would do! Also it shows in the erosion in places such as the Grand Canyon 9. I am not actually sure what you mean by that. All God did was show a rainbow and a signal he could leave and would never send a global flood again... 10. Firstly, they then were allowed to eat meat. As shown in the dove who gave an olive branch to Noah to signal it was ok to come out, there was rapid speciation after the flood 11. They ate some of their preserves, and a very small amount of meat in the beginning most likely and then grew food. 12. No....He sacrifices ONE clean animal....Not ALL. 13. Incest is a modern word....Adam and Eve were created perfect....Noah and his family are a copy off a copy off a copy (etc.) of this gene pool that started perfect and got a tiny bit worse each generation, through a steady incline of mutations...It wasn't dangerous at the time. 14. Do you realize that most dinosaurs were only about the size of a horse....He needed two Psoropod KIND of dinosaur, 2 tripod KIND of dinosaur, so not EVERY species, and he most likely picked young adults, they weren't as big as you think. 15. Many people believe this...Including many gifted scientists....BTW-The inventor of the MRI scanner, which revolutionized modern medicine technology, was a biblical creationist... If you have any more questions, I'll be glad to answer them.

[@FECtetra1918]

Timothy Bukowski You haven't answered a single question with facts/science. You have only stated your opinion and used magic as a response to every question. I don't care about your opinion. I want evidence.

[@TimothyBukowskiApologist]

Carlos Amaral Magic? What exactly do you want? Most of these are BIBLICAL questions. I gave you examples of geological evidence (Fossils, grand canyon) and talked about the plants, (very in depth , actually). Many of these questions were ignorantly asked (such as the one about parasites, because he only needed to take land dwelling animals, as CLEARLY stated in Genesis) If you don't want the Bible, look at erosion, fossils, and the HUGE number of flood legends, the evidence for a flood is CRYING out. It comes down to a worldview, either you are looking at it as a uniformatrianist, who doesn't believe in God, or as a Bible believer...

[@SirConto]

I'm not a creationist or a christian, I don't even remotely believe in any of those stories, but I don't think that line of criticism is entirely fair. Let's say you see a magician perform a magic trick. Later you tell your friend about it and he says "That didn't happen. It's physically impossible!" You can have a bunch of possible explanations for what the magician could have done though: a slight of hand, forcing a card choice, using a card with two back sides at the right moment, etc. Of course you can't be certain about any of those, so you're basically making them up, but as what you're trying to prove is that the trick was something that happened. The first step of that is to show it is even possible and for that those made up explanations serve as viable evidence. Of course the explanations the guy in the video makes will still fall one step later when you look them up at a bit closer. But I just don't think holding it against him that he isn't sure about his explanations is quite a fair criticism at the point where he's trying to simply show that the story is possible.

It’s fine to hold religion near and dear to your heart but do not try and argue that there is evidence of the literal and physical existence of god or the other biblical characters. It’s like saying that Santa Claus actually exists.

[@skunkjobb]

@frankos rooni You said Michael Baker's post was embarrassing when he said the story of Noah didn't happen and then you seem to also say it didn't happen. Your post makes no sense.

[@sbunny8]

The flood story makes perfect sense if it was written by someone who doesn't know much about the world, expecting the story to be heard by people who knew even less. If you live in a place that's pretty flat and you've never been more than 50 km from where you were born, and nobody around you has either, then it's easy to imagine that a flood covered the whole world, all the way up to the highest mountain. If you've only ever seen a couple dozen different species of animals in your lifetime, it's easy to imagine that some dude was able to fit two of everything into a boat. If you think that building a big boat is just as easy as building a small one except it takes more time, it's easy to imagine someone building a 450-ft long boat. But once you learn just how huge Earth really is, how tall the highest mountains really are, how many millions of different species there are that can't interbreed with each other (and how many of them are isolated to far-off places on the planet), not to mention just how incredibly difficult it is to build a really huge boat... the whole story begins to look childish. Plus, there's a major plot hole. God gets mad, plans to send a flood, keeps it a secret from everyone except Noah, right? So Noah is the only one who knows that it's important to load up his boat with two of every animal. What about all those other people who have boats? I mean, Noah didn't have the only boat in the whole world, right? He was just the only one who was told about the flood in advance. So all those other people who had boats, surely some of them could have just floated around, eating fish and drinking rainwater, waiting for the whole thing to be over. A few of those boats would have sank or the crew died of scurvy but there's no way the Ark was the only boat remaining. So, the story makes perfect sense if you know nothing about biology, geography, or ship building, and if you aren't paying attention to the plot holes. That's exactly what you'd expect from illiterate goat herders. It's nothing at all like what you'd expect from an omniscient deity.

[@stevieh9860]

Tim Webb. Please calm down. The first half of this theory is a very likely explanation. If you follow your scriptures, then your points surrounding who knew, and boats and stuff will make sense, but the fact remains that Noah’s Ark didn’t happen in the way Genesis said it did. No sentient being possibly believes it did. It’s clearly not credible.

[@rs72098]

*250,000 years of humans on the planet with only 7 billion people? Hmmmmmm🤔 well let's calculate that.* The human population doubles every 100 years, likely more when there is no contraception. So 2 to 2,500 power (250,000 years) would equal an unfathomal amount of humans, while 2 ^(32) = 4,294,967,296. (2 to the 32 power). 32 x 100 years equals 3,200 years. This is a very conservative estimate even only doubling every 100 years, early populations would like even double in 20 years. Evolutionists will point out that humans were trying to figure out farming and hunting. However early humans likely had plenty of food, and farming is easy to understand even for a young child. How difficult is it to domesticate cows? Or plant seeds? Corn grows within 3 months. There are serious issues with evolution and their timelines. We would literally have millions of trillions of people if humans had been around 250,000 years. Humans are the smartest, most capable animals on the planet, with some of the longest lifespans. Were humans being outsmarted and killed by lions, wolves, bears, sabretooths? I don't by it. Even ancient man would figure out how to make a spear or a slingshot, bow and arrow, and traps.

No, the story of Noah is not nonsense. You've read too many pseudo-scientific texts and articles on the topic. Considering the story of Noah to have been an allegory is what some Christians did when they thought the science was irrefutable, 100 years ago. Turns out it was the scientists from 150 years ago who had overreached, and today's atheists don't have any answers to defend those old arguments against the Christians and Muslims today, who grew up with both modern scientific training and faith in a Creator. What would you consider the most powerful scientific evidence that there could not have been a global flood that nearly wiped out all land creatures, as described in Genesis? Mount St. Helens proved the layers seen in the Grand Canyon are more likely than not to have been created in a great flood event, over the span of a few years (not the millions of years hypothesized, incorrectly, by evolutionists). Radiometric dating has been nearly completely debunked at this point, so I'm amazed so many still trust it is accurate and reliable. Tell you what: go learn how to do the complete, detailed process of radiometric sample preparation, and how the material in the samples is then dated.

Exactly, among many, many other stolen bullshit stories which we can prove were mythology. Moses is another one and the parting of the seas. That story predates Moses by 1000 years in Egypt.

These people are imbecile and gullible as fuck, believing tales written by ignorant Sheepherders. Lol.

[@drdalet]

Epic of Gilgamesh is Akkadian and the part about Utnapishtim was borrowed from the Epic of Atrahasis and the Epic of Ziusudra. The Noach story consists of two seperate stories (one from Judah, one from Israel) who were mixed. Noah is just a name and, like all other biblical names, reflect the personality of the character. In ancient times historical events were rapped in myths and legends. It is literature. In the movie Exodus, Gods and Kings, God is portrayed as a spoilt, arrogant child, which I think is perfect 😉

You apologists don't seem to understand how standards of evidence works. Just take a look at the big picture. We have extremely educated scientists with access to highly sophisticated equipment and training and a consensus that has developed over centuries by some of the greatest minds the earth has ever known and we have a collection of half a dozen or so ancient books full of myths, _one_ of which you think has the absolute truth in. The Avesta is wrong, the Quran is wrong and so is the Bhagavad gita, the Guru Granth Sahib and the Zarathustra but the Bible is right. The Bible. The same book you were raised with, coincidentally is the right book even though you've never read the others. It's absurd. Just think about it for a second.

+Paul TheSkeptic Reading the bible on your own plus studying Christianity for 12 years gives a lot of perspective. That perspective seems to turn most people into atheists gradually.

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

Toveri Juri Most atheists do. I'm no expert in the Bible my any stretch but I know it quite a bit better than your average Christian. They kind of tell you not to read it. I don't know if you ever heard this as a Christian but I heard it all the time. They'd say "You're not supposed to read it straight through like that, from beginning to end." They discourage Christians from reading the Bible from beginning to end. Why do you think that is? This is what I think. A lot of people, when asked "Why did you become an atheist?" their answer is "I read the Bible." I think they know that and that's why they say it. They want you reading it with guidance. Anyway, that's what I think.

[@ToveriJuri]

Paul TheSkeptic I wasn't an American Catholic though. Our religious education here is very thorough. We went through the bible, the history of Christianity(real history, i.e. from other sources than the bible) and pretty much every major western and eastern religion and how they compare or relate to our religion. To me it's baffling that people take the stance that you should not study your scripture. It's ludicrous. How are you supposed to have faith in something when you don't even truly know what the subject of your fate is. So, yeah. In my opinion you are right about everything you say. There's one thing that really confuses me though. Why would they tell them not to read the bible unless they actually knew themselves it was bullshit. And if they know it's bullshit wtf are they doing in a Christian organization to begin with?

[@tristancreed]

I got a bone to pick with every ark believer. Given that I used to work in a zoo. All of these animals have different diets. There are predators, scavengers, herbivores, insects who feed by pollination and a lot more. And these animals were in every sense, wild. So how did they manage to keep the predators at bay? And what kind of food did Noah even feed them? How did he manage an entire vessel that doubled as a zoo with a crew of seven?

Douglas Davis I worked with a guy who was a part time preacher at a church in Australia. He told me that nothing in the Bible was literally true, it's all didactic mythology.

They can't both be right, but they sure as hell can both be wrong!

[@tristancreed]

Bible Bill Look Crazy Bill. There's a difference between finding a fucking excuse and having gone through studies your whole life along with having the words "zoo aide" in your resume. Go ahead. Try preserving an entire species by gathering only two of each animal regardless of species and subspecies. I'm pretty sure inbreeding would not just magically poop out some deformed offspring as a product of genetic recession. While you're at it, stack a random amount of meat without accounting that one tiger needs at least 20 kilos of meat a day. So basically, you need at least 800 kilos to feed just one fucking predatory cat for forty days. Now add a partner and that's more then a ton and a half. That's just one species. What about the lions, panthers, every seal species, penguins, thylacines (who weren't officially extinct until 1936), ferrets, foxes, wolves. Wolves are pack hunters you dumb dingle motherfucking turd waffle. You can't just contain them, feed them and call it a fucking day. Now try doing the fucking math you turd waffle. Oh wait...you fucked up...fine, I'll do it for you since you're a fucking adult who still can't figure out shit that a third grader knows. I'm not disappointed either because I didn't have much expectations. Moving on, now that we somewhat took care of that, how would you store tons of meat without them going rancid without freezers? You can't expect a family of eight to just ferment a even just a single metric ton of that on their own. Even the animals wouldn't be cool with it. And eventually, you can't exactly sustain the herbivores too. How can you store so much grass when you live in a such a borderline barren strip of sand? Let alone make sure they don't end up drying up. What about containment? because that will be your primary priority. You can't just expect all of those animals to stay behind hardwood enclosures. Especially when at least 60-70 percent of them can easily break out of those wooden enclosures and run loose in the halls. Sorry Loony Bill. You can't exactly dupe a zoo employee (active or former) into buying the Ark bullshit. By the way, your little ark fairy tale was a rip off of the flood in Gilgamesh's Epic.

[@nmarbletoe8210]

or, it happened, but the details were lost as history became story became myth. Glaciers melting perhaps.

[@PaulTheSkeptic]

Right, either it happened or it didn't happen. So, how do we tell? Well, one thing we could do is look at the source material. First of all, do we have the originals? We don't. Were the writers unbiased or was there some particular idea they wanted the readers to believe? They were not unbiased. Do we have second hand corroboration? You might be thinking that we do but I believe that when you examine the details, they tell a different story. There are flood myths from around the world which means that there were clearly survivors around the world. Then there are the flood myths from the same area that both predate the Biblical story and they tell the same story. Since they share so many details, they must be indicative of the others. But then looking back to the other flood myths from around the world, they don't share any of the details. In fact they're usually fantastic stories that no one from modern times could be expected take seriously. Adding all that up, it seems clear that there probably was a flood or many floods all around the world at roughly the same time. And we know that when the ice age came to an end, it covered up a lot of the land that people had been living on. Or, it's a possibility that a meteor struck the ocean creating a vast tidal wave but that's purely speculation. Since then, we've started to discover stone age artifacts beneath the sea. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXaTeXSId8p0h7s This is the sort of event that people would've wanted to remember. They would've passed on this event through the various oral histories around the world. But if we're talking about a single global flood that covered all the land for almost a year with a boat full of animals, that seems less than plausible. Geneticists would be able to study a huge genetic bottleneck that affected all life a few thousand years ago. Geneticists do study genetic bottlenecks in some animals like the cheetah. Cheetahs are so genetically similar that any cheetah can take a skin graft from any other cheetah. But we don't see that in other animals. In fact, we can roughly trace how humans spread throughout the world by studying their haplogroups. Also, there are about 6,909 living languages around the world. If the ark was populated by people who spoke one language, that would mean that well over one new language a year would have to develop. And that's not to mention radiometric dating, ice core samples, dendrochronology and living organisms that are thousands of years old. The details just don't add up.

[@EsDoncor]

were there air conditioners in the ark? how did they kept the polar bears and other animals in different cold areas so they didn't eat or kill each other? how did they got the polar bears from the North Pole? how did they got kangaroos from Australia and Capibaras from South America? how did they stored every single specie of bacteria in the world?

The 1st canoe ever built was 10000 years ago. The story of Noah is a plagiarism from old Sumer which is the earliest human civilization in the world also in Mesopotamia barely 5000 years ago, nothing has evolved much since then, polar bears were already polar by then and kangaroos were already kangaroos.

However, to the original comment, I don't know for sure why God would drown the planet instead of just "blinking us out of existence." The one thing I can think of though, is that the reason behind flooding the Earth was because of man's sin. And think of the flood as a "refinement" of the Earth as far as sin is concerned. He wiped out everyone to take away the sinning. He saved the only sinless, living creation: animals. And after the refinement(the flood) He said He would not flood the Earth again, but next time it would be by fire. Later, he will refine the Earth by fire and like the bible says, there will be a "new heaven and a new earth." That's all I know.

[@ytxmak]

Ya I agree we should work together- trouble is religion poisons the minds of children and religious people seek to infect public policy with their beliefs.

[@MsAnthropicGeek]

Ytxmak Atheist are doing the same but in a more aggressive manner. It doesn't matter how people raise their children, so it shouldn't bother you at all. I never see anyone bashing people for being Buddhist, Hindu, Pagan, Wiccan, Enlightened, or Cabalist, etc. If they have a right to serve their many gods, why can't people serve Jesus in peace?

[@ytxmak]

They do have that right, but in the US and many other countries religious zealots (and moderates) enter the political arena and try to affect or run public policy, their beliefs based only on the flimsiest of 'evidence' and only after surrendering their reason to the very dubious credentials of the bible. Remember George W Bush's declaration on the invasion of Iraq? "God told me to do it". Or in my country, the (failed) attempt to introduce Syariah Law?

[@longliverocknroll5]

MsAnthropicGeek You can believe whatever you want. What many atheists (in this case manly people of the Western world) have a problem with is the extremists or literalists that try to teach what they believe as fact despite a general lack of corroborating evidence. If you want to have faith, I'm all for you having that right. If you want to believe and try to impose it as fact that should be taught as such (i.e. teaching creationism in public educational systems), I have a problem with that. Of course there are some atheists that are unwilling to let you believe what you want to and may be a dick, just as there are some theists that will be immediately condescending if they are informed you don't ascribe to their particular beliefs. The only thing that I despise from some of the theists is trying to refute evolution with creationism despite the fact that nowhere do either of these concepts inherently refute one another.

There are so many reasons why the flood story can't have been real, but here's one: There are contagious diseases that are species-specific. In other words, they can only survive in one single species and no other. In fact, there are many diseases that can only live in humans, such as measles, leprosy, smallpox and typhus. These diseases either kill their hosts, or are killed by the immune system of the host, and the only way they can survive is to spread to other individuals. How did all these diseases survive the flood?

[@jamesb.8940]

Could they have started after it ? Or even as a result of it ? If we're going to discuss a myth about the world, we might as well ask real-world questions about it. Such a huge flood must have had lots of effects.

[@DjVortex-w]

James M How do all those viruses and bacteria form from nothing in just a few decades or centuries? In reality they formed over millions of years, but the flood story does not give them any realistic amount of time to form. If the answer is "God created them after the flood", that raises a whole lot more questions than it answers. (For one, it makes the whole idea of the ark completely nonsensical, if God was going to create/recreate living organisms from nothing anyway. What was the point?)

[@henrygouge84]

Okay, let us go with this. Imagine you are a disease. You enter a host. The host develops immunity to you, but still you are there in a cage. Now these so called survivors amounting to eight humans go to another area after the water settles. Now a little surprise. There are survivors besides those on the big boat who have not had contact with you and you are looking at them as fresh meat. So you leave your host and enter into the new host. Remember in this story the world is not completely covered with water. Only a small portion. We are only dealing with the world of Adam and his descendants. Noah and his family are all white. Those other hosts that are met by Noah and his family are Asians and Blacks.

[@DjVortex-w]

henry gouge What are you even talking about?

[@XCyclonusX]

Their ancestors were there as well living in the hosts or in the environment outside of the ark. The bible never said all forms of life were wiped out, thats why Christians don't believe God told Noah to take a Blue Whale on board. Afterward the diseases mutated in to lethal diseases. On a bacterial/viral/fungal level mutation can happen quite rapidly.

[@Alessandro-B]

Tim Webb "every animal was vegetarian before the Flood." Well, of course, the Bibble can make all sort of unfounded claims, the facts remain, felines are obligate carnivores, and carnivores teeth cannot chew, making a vegetarian diet impossible. Maybe you haven't noticed, Christians tend not to, herbivores and ruminants must chew for hours and even have double stomachs.

[@Alessandro-B]

Tim Webb "Species are a subset of "kinds" " nope, kind is ill-defined and used to mean all sort of things from Family, to clade, to species. "The disease you mention is almost certainly the result of human virology lab tinkering" what labs existed at the times of the plagues, Black deaths etc? None. Plus, how could the ignorant men of 2/3000 years ago invent diseases? Diseases have always existed and were only discovered by science recently, the Bibble says they were demons. "with a reasonable objection to the data as recorded." what data, stories by unknowns, edited by unknowns, translated by unknowns? That's not data, those are stories by primitive, superstitious bronze age ignoramuses. Lastly, after a worldwide flood lasting a year, there'd be no trees alive, not any other plants. No food for no animals for at least a year or two. The reason why (apart from no geological evidence) the flood never could have happened.

[@Codex7777]

Tim, those hybrids you mention are from closely related species within the same family... and they are sterile, unable to produce offspring.

[@MrDanAng1]

Tim Webb No matter how you turn and twist, "kind" are I'll defined, Bible or not. For example, the Bible define bats as a bird. So a mammal that can fly is suddenly a bird? Are all birds the same "kind"? A flying squirrel, that can glide, but are incapable of true flight, is that a half bird? And Penguins or Ostriches or other birds that can't fly, are the birds or are they another "kind"? If "kind" is so well defined in the Bible, I challenge you to answer these four simple questions, preferably with a Bible verse tjat support your answer, and the biblical definition of "kind", so that we who ask for a coherent definition of "kind", once and for all can get the simple and obvious and easy concept I hear claimed, again and again, that it is. If "kind" is so basic and easy, how come nobody can define it in one or a few sentences?

[@MrDanAng1]

Tim Webb If you don't know the Bible, I don't care at all to give you the reference, it's in Leviticus 11:13-19. I have actually read the Bible, unlike most christians. As for the root animal for dogs, domestic dogs ARE a subspecies of wolfes, but I get your point. However, the line become blurry when we go for the side striped or black backed jackal, that is not very closely related to a wolf/dog or even other jackals. They are more closely related to wolverines or racoon dogs. And there we are, very close to weasels, all of a sudden. While still working genetically from clearly "wolf/dog kind". Or are the side striped/black backed jackals not the same "kind" as a wolf? Or are they the same "kind" as a wolverine? Or a weasel? Or a kind of their own? Whatever animal you choose for this "root animal" you mention, there is ALWAYS this blurry line where it is no longer obvious what the root animal is, or rather, it is like there is several level of root animals, like an ancestral tree if ever changing animals or other organisms. Like there is "kinds within kinds" like matryoshka dolls. Or like there is no "root kinds" at all in the sense you imply. And BTW, can you give me the biblical verses that support your definition of "kind"?

ok so Noah did not keep the lions with the zebras, but what did he feed the lions??? where did, and how did, he store the meat?? the flood lasted one year(roughly) so he had to have one year worth of meat just for the two lions. a lion eats at least 8kg(acording to websites about lions) of meat a day so that would be(8x365) 2920kg of meat per lion for a grand total of more than 5 metric tons of meat for two lions for a year. also wouldn't the meat rot?

[@stephenlord1986]

[@Rundvelt]

The important message of the Ark story. God, being perfect, makes man imperfect, then blames man for being imperfect. And that blame means that he has to kill them, instead of some other sort of act. And God is so intolerant of sin, he goes off to kill animals too, because to hell with the animals.

[@pineapplepenumbra]

He seems to dislike animals as firstly he gets angry at a vegetarian offering and is pleased with the killing of an animal, then he demands loads of animal sacrifices. Not only that, but he also said (not that any god said anything to any human) that that animals were for humans to use, forgetting that humans are animals, too, and that many humans can't be trusted to look after other animals and seem to enjoy abusing them in the worst ways they can think of.

Not on it. Ken Ham had tens of millions of dollars, professional architects, construction technology, etc. He couldn't make it float in a teeny little lake. And this idiot thinks a man who was hundreds of years old with no expertise in ship building, build a gigantic ark that could fit every animal in it and float on top of violently frothing world ocean? Come on. Besides, why is he so willing to morally except the mass genocide of the flood myth, followed by mass incest.

Two things... 1: The "kinds" argument means believers accept evolution because the "kinds" would have to evolve into the variations of species we have today. 2: Why would an Ark be necessary? If God created animals once, surely he could create them again with no problem.

[@nawangdawa7994]

frankos rooni First of all there is no evidence of evolution. Period. None at all. Can we be clear on that? If you say there is , you are deluded. Modern concept of evolution takes millions of years to be observed. Do you agree? Yes you do. The best that evolutionists can show is similarities and dissimilarities in DNA and other biomolecules to show relationships. Now, the good thing about this is that it is not contrary to the Bible. The Bible says that the same God created all living organisms. That is the reason why all of them have similar information. That is God's signature. It could also be argued that all the fossils could well be the organisms that could not survive the flood. That is why they don't exist today. They died out in the flood. Remember, similarities in DNA/RNA have to exist ,it is God's signature.

[@gonzomuse]

So, what are these relationships? Evolution can be and has been observed in labs many times. You have nearly all of humanities wisdom at your fingertips if you are genuinely interested in learning.

[@nawangdawa7994]

Mark Bowyer No evolution cannot be observed in labs, adaptation and other processes can. Evolution (or speciation ) by theory takes millions of years. If it could be done in a lab, evolution would not be a 'theory' but a 'phenomenon'.

[@nawangdawa7994]

Evolution is a dogma just like any religion. It has a lot of unfound concepts and some concepts backed by evidences.Even religion has things that are true. Mohammed was a real historical person, Christianity teaches that dishonest living is bad. Does that make the whole of Islam or the whole of Christianity correct.
