havent you ever watched the flintstones? Noah obviously used a brontosaurus as crane and smaller dinos as powertools. He didn't have nails tough, he propably used a woodpecker to hammer in frozen worms instead, to keep it all together.

[@joevignolor4u949]

Why does it have a bulbous bow? A bulbous bow is a modern invention used on modern ships to reduce hydrodynamic drag so as to increase top speed and to reduce fuel consumption. But Noah's Ark had no engines or sails as its function was simply to float until the flood waters receded. So why does the replica have one? Seems rather unscientific if you ask me.

[@Gunzee]

6:12 trust me he'd need to bring all the sea life there was. This was an epic flood, I change just 20% of my aquarium and my fishy be in trouble. This was a massive flood, forget salinity & huge chemical changes. The nitrate, nitrite, ammonia & so on with that level of death would have wiped everything out. You're talking basically everything land dwelling dying, can you imagine the eutrophication that'll take place? That waters within a month would be vile, but can you imagine how toxic they'd be as the levels receded? PS, they sued their insurance for rain related damage! Just let that sink in

[@monk1808]

Gunzee His family and him would have to carry tons of parasites in their bodies and probably die. And he would have to bring extra animals to kill them and use them as meat for the other animals. Lions, tigers, bears etc. eat a ton of meat. And how about termites? They burrow into and eat wood, they might puncture holes in the ark. Also, a wooden ship of that size would need massive metal braces, which Noah sure didn’t have.

[@bluebaconjake405]

I always bring up arguments and ask them to my parents who are very religious. Everytime i say something that is “too logical” they will always reply: “Do you think an omnipotent god would let that happen? This is not 100% noah’s effort. God was always heavily involved in keeping the animals alive, gathering them to the ark, and repopulating them”

[@monk1808]

@Wayne Collins Are you being serious? (I hope not) Kevlar was created in the 1950s-60s, and there would be no way Noah could mine, smelt, and mold titanium in the Bronze Age (he wouldn’t have known what titanium was). Plus, Noah would’ve had to get so much of it and create massive braces out of it. This sort of thinking seems to me to be the norm among Christians, you guys realize that things like Noah’s ark make no sense, so you try to speculate (bad speculation at that) how it could have happened within what scientists know now. Christians (mostly evangelicals) need more critical thinking skills.

[@monk1808]

@Wayne Collins What do you believe in then? If you don’t believe in this absurdity why are you defending it? Also, Noah would’ve lived in the Bronze Age if he actually existed, because the story was written in the Bronze Age.

@Wayne Collins I don’t “believe” in evolution, but I do know that evolution happening is a fact of nature. I’ve heard creationists argue that evolution occurred at breakneck speeds after the worldwide flood that never happened, so I’m still unsure whether you’re serious or not. Personally, I believe they were rhinos all along! They never died out, after all! Maybe behemoth evolved into a hippo!? (Or was one, all along.) Such wisdom these holy books profess... maybe I’ll even stop washing my hands since only what comes out of the mouth will defile a man. You’ve given me much to consider, either way!

@Wayne Collins I’ve never seen an organic car before. Sounds neat. If those car parts have cells that contain RNA to replicate and divide, give them a few million years and some selection pressures and you might get close! I’ve seen plants shaped like cars before, but they weren’t cars. However, if they’re made of metal, plastic, or anything else that *isn’t* an organic compound, I imagine you can wait until the end of time and they will never become what you’re looking for them to become. At least now I know you were serious, and that you seriously misunderstand what the scientific theory of evolution actually says. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays.

@@jordan2042 the Indus Valley has a flood myth, because the Ganges floods all the time. China has a flood myth, because of the Yellow river flooding all the time. Mesopotamia has a flood myth (that predates the story of Noah) because the Tigris and Euphrates flooded all the time. In many cultures around the world water was a constant source of destruction and rebirth. Hence the flood myth. They amplified the worst possible disaster they experienced and applied it to a global scale, explaining why they live where they live. It’s not unique to Abrahamic faiths. It’s not even unique to the Middle East.
