How could Noah find all the animals on the earth and collect two of them?

Answer 1

I have often wondered why people had trouble with this particular scripture? You, apparently because you are leaving God out of the equation. God can create everything and do anything except put a few animals on a boat and keep them alive?

Answer 2

Yes, try reading the Book.

And probably the Earth was still just one continent then, Pangea.

Genesis 7:9
There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.

It doesn't say he gathered them and loaded them into the Ark; Rather, Noah and family went into the Ark and the animals went in unto Noah into the Ark.

And notice [Gen 7:16] the LORD shut them in. -- the Lord shut the door of the Ark; thus signifying that the time of Grace was ended for those living on the earth at that time. For 120 years Noah had preached repentance to the people; they rejected the opportunity. Eventually God acted as Judge.

Answer 3

There were probably not as many species of animals back then as now (such as the mule, created by a horse and donkey mating). And as some have said above, if God wanted Noah to do the job, then God created a way -- just as He helped Noah build a ship huge enough for all the animals, and tight enough to float for months. If God is in charge of nature, he can certainly guide an animal in one direction as needed.

Answer 4

God had already created all of the animals that had populated the earth. He had already created both a male and female of each animal. God would have led the animals to Noah for safety on the Ark.

Answer 5

People like to say that noah had divine help from god, but if god was gonna help him why did he make him build an ark in the first place? Why did'nt he just raise noah and the all the animals to safety? The fact is that its false, it never happened. So you can't look for an explanation for something that never happened.

Answer 6

whoever the animals were, were commanded to come to Noach(noah is altering what is written). and i do not think you understand what kind of animals we are talking about here. kosher would be believer animals and non-kosher animals would be non-believers. since many of the people alive today, may obviously be decendant escapees of the menangaree. and it is highly unlikely that anybody wants to, actualy trace their family tree back to one of the animal pairs, on the ark.

Answer 7

When God is involved then nothing is imposable
for the Lord can make a way even when there is no way
For he created heaven and earth,and every thing that is in it


Remember Jesus loves you

Answer 8

I find it quite a bit farfetched that people actually believe that a crickety old man managed to build a giant boat, and gather 4 billion species of animals, including insects, predators, birds, sea creatures, etc.

I find it embarrasing when people try to present the myth as actual fact.

Answer 9

that's a really interesting question! i've never thought about it, but there had to have been some help somehow. otherwise, you might want to ask yourself if the bible is all fact or not....this could very well just be part of a story with a moral, no?

Answer 10

re-read the Bible. It was only the animals in his world. Only a flood of his world. When Alexander the Great conquered the world, it was only his world, as known by his historians.

If you are going to continue to question rumors as if they were fact. We Bible students, are going to realize you are ignorant.

But, we forgive you because Jesus has enlightened us.
