There are so many basic "facts" about the story that just don't make sense--one couldn't fit all of the supposeldy surviving animals on a ship 450 feet long; how animals somehow got across oceans to get to the ark or be retrieved for passage on the ark; how EVERY animal that crawled on the land--including insects, reptiles, etc.--was somehow gathered and loaded on in the time specified; where'd the food for all these animals come from, again, on an ark of that size; how did Noah and his family handle taking care of that many animals for 40 days; considering how confident everyone here is about the impossibility of the planet Earth changing due to global warming in the course of hundreds of years (at minimum), we're supposed to just believe ALL of the planet was covered in water and then receded in 40 days? etc. etc. etc....
Religious faith is about faith, so whenever folks try to convince me of the "factual" basis of these things, they've lost already, by definition.
What a bunch of absolute hogwash. You can take 3 eye witnesses and get 3 different stories a day after they witnessed something. Now, ask their decendants hundreds and then thousands of years later what happened and you wonder why the stories aren't 100% alike? ROFL
Stop trying to apply logic to this story, people who think and use logic don't donate cash to the preacher in the hopes that they will go to heaven!
Besides, if you are truly brainwashed, you just ignore the facts and say "It's a Miracle!!!!"
There is a reference book by a fellow named John Woodmorappe
(I believe) called: "Noahs Ark: a feasibility study"...
you may want to check it out to see if it helps you
or gives you different ideas...
