I have to laugh at people who take Noah’s ark litterally. As if Noah really saved 2 of every species that are found on the island of Tasmania or Australia.
It is a nice fantasy to think that Noah had 2 of every animal on a boat.
First, wouldn’t you need 4 of every animal? I Mean, what if one male or female of the species dies? PRESTO - instant extinction!
I have to inform the true believers that 2 of each animal does not mean 2 of every animal, but 2 of every SPECIES of animal.
Not 2 ants. 2 each of 12,000 different ant species. OK, do you put them all in the same ant farm, or 12,000 different glass cases.
Not 2 spiders, but try over 37,000 different species of spiders. That would likely fill a Noah’s ark by itself.
So it is a nice little fantasy tale, and a valuable bible Parable, but people who really think Noah saved the world’s land animal population by putting them ALL in a boat for 40 days, need a severe reality check on reality.
You don't have a terribly high opinion of the Power of the Author of Time. Whats more you limit God to the degree of your own understanding and your own imagination. “Reality”? Who is the author of your “reality”, you or God?
Noah only had to do what God told him to do. Noah, like the rest of us, didn't have anything near the whole picture. You don't think the Author of All Things and Time itself couldn't possibly have gotten into one place everything necessary to what ever His ends were?
The story of Noah being true would place no strain on the God of the Bible like the strain of Creating Man and encoding him in his entirety in a piece of biological matter not even visible to the naked eye and containing tens of thousands of links in it's makeup yet you doubt this God's very Word because YOU can't imagine a particular and relatively small element of His Story?
Once you doubt an element of the Almighty you doubt The Almighty. Once you doubt His Word you lower Him to the level of a man. The Bible contains ONLY what God wanted it to contain. The Bible tells the ABSOLUTE Truth. What's so hard about that? God does not ask that you understand Him. He only asks that you have Faith in Him.
You don't know the architect of the universe. Otherwise, you wouldn't try to place limitations on Him.
You also seem unaware that all dog breeds are descended from a "prototype" dog. The same is true for bears (from a prototype bear). Try running with that concept...
I know I shouldn’t nitpick on suck details, but here I go anyway. The current definition of species, most probably the one you’re using on that numbers, is from Linnaeus, XVIII century. One could safely assume that Noah didn’t have it.
That which is ignored is that all the inhabitants of the Alleged Ark are somewhere on the food chain.
First, wouldn’t you need 4 of every animal? I Mean, what if one male or female of the species dies? PRESTO - instant extinction!
Genesis 7: The LORD then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, 3 and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.
Your scoffing has the story wrong.
