There are between 30 and 50 million species. Take two of each, that's 60-100 million animals. Let's say he was working 24/7, moving 100 animals per minute (which is pretty damn fast, but we'll give him a little lee-way since the big guy was backing him). By my calculations it would have taken him between 416.7 and 694.4 days to complete his task. How did he keep the ones on the boat alive during that amount of time? How did he cope with the huge amount of fecies produced? Where did he keep the food for all these animals? How did the animals gather in one location from all parts of the globe? How would a boat this large hold under its own weight, much less be sea-worthy? Where did all this excess water necessary for a flood come from and go to? Why is there no aerchaeological evidence of a worldwide deluge of water? Do I really need to go on? These are fairy tales people. They hold as much fact as Zeus chunking lightning bolts down from Olympus.

Schmootsy: I would love to see this evidence.

Grandma Susie: I am just interjecting some common sense. I have read your precious book of stories. That is my point exactly that many believe these stories with no consideration of their validity.

Shmootzy covered it pretty well, munkee...
It's YOUR fault. You're just unwilling to accept the truth.
The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem.

I am not sure it really happened the way it is said to have happened. I watched a very interesting biography on the History Channel portraying what "really" happen between stories out of the bible and they are all taken out of context. For instance the splitting of the sea was actually a earthquake that caused a crack large enough in the earths surface to drain a path of water that moses walked. Also the red sea was caused by a gas seeping from from the earths crust and turned the water a muddy red color portraying red water. That actually still happens. So I believe all stories in the bible are a little fictional but not entirely made up, just a little imaginative.

. God told the animals what to do and how to do it,what happens to water when it freezes?ever heard of the polar ice caps,do some research,find out how thick the ice is in some places. No the Bible is not a fairy book,the flood did happen.find out how much land would be left if all the ice caps melted .Maybe that will answer your question`s.

Hehehe...that would be the world as Noah knew it...which is basically the middle east...and yes, there is archaeological evidence of a great flood; in fact, there are those who believe that something hit the earth and tilted it on its axis, causing the flooding. So it is quite possible.

Be careful. That Zeus guy takes offense real easy. I mocked him once and was condemned to live in Philadelphia for a whole year ... and I still don't go out when there's a thunderstorm.

i imagine the bible says that the animals got here to the boat. i do no longer imagine Noah had to collect them. the international began on the backyard of Eden and this replaced into no longer all that lengthy afterwards so truly in all probability the animals had no longer spread international huge with the help of the time of the flood. also; even as god made the animals, he surely made one couple of each species, social gathering: there have been no longer all the type of bears as there are in the present day. there replaced into a million male undergo and a million female undergo - that replaced into all. as time more suitable that's smart that the animals higher in inhabitants and moved to fill the earth (an analogous as people did, {ref. tower of babel.}) because the animals moved and probably bred with different species in addition they had to evolve to their ecosystem, for this reason we've many kinds of bears which may make it now harder to get each kind on board the ark. So, what i'm attempting to assert the following; there have been no longer as many differing kinds of animals then as now. thinking this reality and the very undeniable reality that the animals got here to Noah and in no way that Noah had to bypass fetch them. and the very undeniable reality that each human being issues are attainable with god; it makes awhole lot of massive difference. might want to it no longer? or perhaps his spouse, sons, and daughter in rules, did the herding even as he outfitted the ark. Ever imagine of that?

Excuse me, but there is overwhelming evidence of a worldwide deluge in rock formations all over the globe. There is also records of the same in just about every ancient culture.
Could it be that you just don't want to believe God can and does do such miraculous things?

Noah didn't GATHER the animals, GOD DID! Or maybe it was their "instinct" to come to him from an Intelligent Designer.

God gathered the animals as we are CLEARLY told in the scripture. If you can't comprehend that fact, then quit worrying about it.
