It is indeed interesting to see people respond to questions about the, to put it extremely mildly, fanciful logistics of the story of Noah (Loading the animals, caring for them, assembling the sheer number of them, etc.) with "God did it; it was a MIRACLE!!".
If that were true, why did He even need the ark OR Noah in the first place?
The Bible is an excellent and heartwarming source of morals and principles to live by, as well as cautionary tales. But it's not a history or scientific text, regardless of how hard some attempt to make it so.
DING! DING! DING!!!! We have a winner.
Well put, LC.
(so, is mini-cut going to be another flying squid?) ;-))))
It's too late for you to judge Scripture. You, instead, are evaluated by it.
It's either true or baloney. It either is accurate or fable. It's not "nice" or "heartwarming."
"Principles to live by"? What does that mean? It's either God's Word or *not* God's Word. If it's *not* God's Word, then it's a pretty dangerous thing, and the Creator is pretty impotent not to be able to communicate clearly with His creatures....
Are you the kind of person who says that Jesus was a good moral teacher? Jesus, the One Who said He and the Father were One? Heartwarming?
Unbelievable....
