There are, on earth, 1,600,000 recorded species to date, and countless unrecorded species( thought to be up to 30,000,000 but I'll discount those to make it easier for Noah).

Many of these species are unique to particular continents.

To achieve what is alleged in the bible:-

Noah travelled to every corner of every continent to gather a pair of each unique species.
He didn't miss the microscopically small species, even without a microscope.
He didn't miss the great carnivores that chased him.
He didn't miss those that kept running away.
He found time to gather at least 32,000,000 individuals (male and female).
He did all this in a relatively very short space of time
He created conditions to allow the survival of them all on a small boa which he also had time to build.
He did all this with limited help

Was he eating spinach or did he come from Planet Krypton?

Or is this biblical story not to be taken literally?

christians - what is your informed response to the following.....?

"...in 325 AD, the Council of Nicea convened and decided what they thought the common masses were capable of understanding. They chose what to canonize and what to include as the "word of God" in the Bible. Arguments ensued and sections of the bible were edited and deleted, detrimental to their interpretation..."

Can someone explain the ice/water canopy thing to me?

I was reading some Young Earth Creationist materials and came across several references to a water/ice canopy that sort of hovered above the planet. What kept this gigantic mass suspended in earth orbit, and what kept it together and from either drifting away or smashing into earth, and finally, what of meteors hitting it?

Christians and Atheists, what do you think about this song called "Dont Push Your Belief"? Here are the lyrics

written by Charlie Check'm
http://www.charliecheckm.com/music.html.
It's free to download

no matter how much you worship pray preach and yell
you'll always be subject to some other beliefs' hell

and if you could explain the unexplained ya been through
and understood the universe you'de have a different view

whether you worship Jesus or Zeus, Alla or horus could be a mormon or a jew

ya got the churches and the mosk and the private schools to worship who you want to

but ya better not violate my freedom from belief I'll fight to be free

and to kanye west, you dont want to try to convert me
cause i'll have ya *** feeling sad questioning your own belief

I'll debate any place any day i'm well rounded leave ya *** feeling dumb founded

and I dont give a damn of you're a rapper or the president
ya better be willing to take your own medicine

Hook

I dont give a damn what you believe, just dont push your belief on me and keep it out of my government can't yo

Should I believe in God?

Why should I believe in him, I have had christians tell me all the storys from the bible, and that they have heard him and jesus talked to them. I don't buy it. If he was real wouldn't I know, wouldn't I not have any doubt? Plus whats makes hell such a bad place? Cause God says so? Isn't that like McDonalds telling you that Burger King is bad? Of course they want you to think hell is bad cause they want you to come to heaven. I just think that God is an imaginary friend for grown ups.

Could the "two witnesses" in Revelation 11:3 be the OT and NT?

During 1260 years these witnesses are in state of sackcloth or obscurity, but God gives them the power to maintain their testimony. Zech. 4:11-14 implies that the 2 olive trees represent the Word of God. John 5:39 says "They are they which testify of me."....this was Jesus talking about the OT.
Rev.11:5--"if any man hurt them"....to hurt the Word of God is to corrupt, oppose, or pervert it. "fire proceedeth out of their mouth"....judgement of fire is pronounced in the Word against them. Rev.11:6 "These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not....and power over water to turn to blood"....Moses and Elijah did these things...but did them in the power of the Word of the Lord. Rev.11:7 "when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast....shall make war against them, and overcome...and kill them." AD 538 start of sackcloth state-AD 1798. France would have fit spiritual Sodom and Egypt. (11:8) "they ...shall see their dead bodies 31/2 days and not put them in graves." (11:9)

The existance of God?

Ok, I've asked something similar to this ages ago. Help me out Christians...

Why should I believe it God? I can't see hear smell or touch him, and his Bible was written by men, and then translated and retranslated by men, and you've only got their say so that it was the Holy Spirit. I want a reason, so here's your chance to evangelise. Please note:

Saying things like 'you can't see gravity but you believe it' is just stupid. I can measure and prove gravity.

Saying the signs are all around me is stupid. No they are not - you only think that if you already believe.

Why is there no proof of the omnipotent God? If he want's me to believe, why don't I? Why doesn't he help me out a little?

Apart from general insecurity, can a believer give me a concrete reason why I should believe in God apart from Scripture based rhetoric and empty quotes and parables?

Note this is not an anti-christian question. I just don't get it, I'm agnostic and I'd like to understand.

Could some fellow Christians please help me understand the Trinity.?

(Please no Atheists or Hijackers)

I'm having a hard time understanding the Trinity.

It's hard to grasp 3 in 1 or Tri-unity.

How does 3=1. How can 3 parts of God equate to 1 God?

Why do the 3 parts of God talk to each other all throughout the Bible? Why would God talk with himself?

Why do Jews not think of the Holy Spirit, rather they have several natures of God and us Christians who worship the God of Judaism too believe in 3.

Since Jesus is God, and his mother is Mary, isn't Mary "THE MOTHER OF GOD" and not just a simple "vessel" claimed by numerous protestants.

If Jesus is God, why does he represent you before his Father if he is the Father too?

Why was the term trinity not used until 325 AD after a huge battle of bishops. They argued over the very topic and it developed into the Arian Controversy.

Would that have been made clear by Christ if there was a trinity.

I know Genesis says "we" in quoting God, but again, Jews had NUMEROUS natures of God.

Thanks, I'm confused
