Biologists have long known that each local habitat around the world is host to unique species found nowhere else. Lemurs live on Madagascar, "Old World" monkeys in Africa and "New World" monkeys in South America. Noah's Arc is a great childrens' story, but does it make any sense to continue to act as though it is historical fact? (I see people are still imagining they can see it on Mt. Ararat.)

If god created the boat, gathered the animals, spread them back out, kept them all alivie for a year, and made them fit on the boat. Then what the hell did Noah do?

Dude, read the Bible, noah didn't send the animals anywhere, he simply let them go. The fact of the matter is that people have a theory that shortly after the flood the world began to have continental shifts. Which would seperates the animals from that single habitat. Also the roaming of animals would slowly cause animals to drift off from the landing spot.

According to the "childrens story" God told Noah when to open the doors and the He was the one who led them to where they should be. From all of the other stories that are in the bible about what miracles Jesus, the disciples, and the prophets did, is it so hard to believe that He couldn't do a small miracle and move animals around the world where HE wanted them.

Noah didn't spread the animals around the world, God did. And nothing is impossible with God. I see some people still refuse to acknowledge that God is greater than all science because he is the greatest Scientist that ever was, is or will be.

In today's newspapers, we read about a baby seal swimming thousands of miles and ending up way off its motherland. Same way, the animals could have migrated to find suitable habitats for themselves. Don't people jump from one company to another in search of 'greener pastures'? Why can't you guys take the Word of God seriously? Do you have to question everything? Questioning is good, but does it have to dwell on the fringes of idiocracy?

With U.FO.'s of course.The bible is full of U>F>O> stories
as are many ancient writings and stone carvings. The flood story can be read in "the epic of Gilgamesh" Sumerian. Also same story thousands of years before does this make it a fairy tail ? NO
history repeats . I believe the earth was flooded 3 times, but
never again .GODS PROMISE.

I would like to know is how did they survive the High Altitude without getting sick? Even if the whole world was covered, there is still the HAS factor.
I guess they had a force field around them to protect them from the Altitude Sickness.

Well that happened way back when the Continental divide hadn't happened yet. I am guessing that the said animals just wandered. When the continents divided they just went along for the ride. As far as the different types, I would guess that the were genetically mutated.

Yeah but your question is intermixing 2 beliefs.... different beliefs....animal life having formed their habitat millions of years ago and Noah which is around or less than 10,000 years old...
Each is a theory...and the theory of each is what individuals need to analyze and decode for themselves....
Good question...

As a few Christians explained it to me, God helped him gather up the animals (and the dinosaurs, if you believe the evangelical gal I know), and when it was all over, God helped him by guiding the animals all back to where they belonged.
LOL! Total BS, if you ask me... if God could do all that to help him, why did he tell Noah to do it in the first place??
