This is like how the so-calledBiblical Flood might have happened.

Question:

If you took all the animals in the world and put them on a boat two-by-two, how big would the boat be if you put them in shoulder-to-shoulder? How much bigger would it need to be to hold the food necessary to sustain them for 40 days or longer? What about the plants, bugs and other creatures not listed in the account of Noah?

Don't forget that according to the YECs, all the extinct animals were on board as well. Mammoths, saber tooth tigers, brontosaurus, T rex, you name it.

you see, this is what Noah and the animals ate during their voyage. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE EXTINCT!

duh!
 
Funny thing is that I bet most of the people involved in selling christians their brainwashing agenda are probably atheists laughing all the way to the bank. And it's a giant bank with a vault the size of Scrooge McDucks.
 
I've heard that Noah saved space by only getting the "basic kinds" of animal.
Two bears.
Two horses.
Two snakes.
Two lions.
And so on.

Then all those other species of animals descended from them, well, they didn't evolve or anything like that. They just....adapted. To their environments. Over time.
Because aliens.

The bears would kill the lions.

So did Noah have kangaroos and giant panda on board?

It all comes to whether you believe that the Bible is the Word of God or not. If you do than you believe that the Flood happened. If your an evolutionist than no you wouldn't believe in the Bible. I happen to believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God so, yes, the Flood happened Earth-wide.

Wanna know how I know you're irrational? :awe:

All the penguins just magically knew to migrate south. All the bears spread out over the world, swimming across the pacific and atlantic. Lions are pussies too scared to swim so they were restricted to immigrating on dry land.

Birds all spread out, almost like they knew where to go!

One big suspension of the natural order of things after another with absolutely no evidence. I love it!
 
I thought there was geological evidence of a global flood, and it was most likely the basis for the Biblical flood story. The flood story isn't even unique to the Bible...they stole it from the Sumerians, who had a global flood caused by a god and even had Noah type figure who had a vessel and saved humanity. I think the Hindus have some kind of flood as well. Lots of cultures have this myth, so more than likely there was some kind of flood event that was devastating enough that people thought they incurred the wraith of their god. After all, the easiest explanation is that some god is the cause.

Are you making fun of me? What's wrong with my grammar?

Yes, in the grammer nazi way common in ATOT.

It should be "you're" instead of "your", and "then" instead of "than".

I'd also use "worldwide" instead of "Earth-wide", but that's just me.

It's easier to deal with the errors in grammer than the errors in content.

There is no evidence of a global flood and the Sumerian Flood was not global.

Ok, so how long did it take Noah to cruise around to Australia to deposit the kangaroos, duckbilled platypuses, etc.?

Or, why are certain species of animal only found in certain sections of the world? Pandas, for example. Not found around Europe or N. America.

So, I guess Noah had a V-12 Yanmar diesel engine in the ark?

quit breing an idiot...that is totally beneath your intelligence!!

Wrong. Plenty of Christians do not believe that. Plenty are also what you call "evolutionists." Its a matter of intelligence and education vs stupidity and ignorance, not Christian (e.g. those that believe the bible is the word of god) vs Non-Christian.

I am sorry but no Bible believing Christian denies the flood happened!!

The burden of proof is on the claimant. Why should scientists who have seen no evidence that global floods happen spend time trying to find out if one happened. Maybe more young earth Christians need to learn proper scientific research techniques and do their own studies and write papers. If the science is good the facts should become apparent.

hahaha that is such an ignorant statement.....the Op claimed the flood did not happen. Thus its incumbent upon the OP to provide proof....duh...

I dont remember where I got that...maybe a Red Ice podcast or Nova special or something, but there are signs in the US (south west, four corners, etc) that showed fossil records and geological evidence that the whole area was flooded with sea water, and it matched up with the same time period as other great floods in other parts of the world. I can't quite remember where it was I saw it, but it was reasonable enough. I'm not suggesting the Sumerian flood was an eye witness account, as I think this flood predates that civilization, and the story of this flood has been passed down via oral tradition since long before written history, which is why many cultures have their own versions. I don't see cultures from different part of the world, during different time periods with no direct interaction, making up the same myth with slight variations. More than likely its based on a common event, whether its coming out of an ice age or a asteroid causing a massive tsunami. It was significant enough that its been passed down generation after generation.

There is land flooded with salt water all around the earth right now.

There is no evidence of a Global Flood. None. There is plenty of evidence of numerous floods all around the earth, at various times, but not evidence of a Global Flood.
