hear me out, im talking about a virgin giving birth or a guy building an ark with every single animal on it which we could not even do today. maybe if virgins actually gave birth once in a while then sure i wouldnt have a problem believing these stories but most things are just ridiculous. im sure mathmatically noah doing this would be a 1/500000000 chance and people are supposed to believe it happened just like that

Oh ye of little faith. God is quite capable of doing what ever He wills to do.

Nothing is impossible with God. If you read the account of Noah closely you'll see that
1. He had 3 men to help him build the ark in his sons
2. He had exact measurements and instructions for building the ark from God Himself
3. It took at least a year- & probably as long as 80 years- to build the ark.Not difficult for 4 men with exact, specific instructions and measurements. His sons were already married, yet without children. This means they were still quite young -20s or 30s- and in top physical shape. There were also 4 women to help wherever they could
4. The cubic footage of the ark was more than sufficient to carry its passengers -8- 2 of each "kind" of animal -nowhere does it say the animals were all full grown- and supplies for all. The flood and the ark are why certain animals hibernate and others migrate.
5. If God can raise the dead -which He can, did and will do again- then causing a virgin to conceive is definitely no problem, is it?
6. The fossil record is evidence of massive world wide flooding which buried all "kinds" of creatures fast and deep. Same goes for the oil deposits, only these are from plant life. It's certainly a much better explanation then the circular reasoning of evolution teachings.
7. Noah didn't have to go collect the animals because God brought the animals to him.

Religion does not deal with impossibilities unless you don't believe in miracles & if so than I can see why you would think so. Religion is what people believe, Believe being the key word, its not about the politics and the mathematical equations a person can come up with to try to figure out miracles because the fact of the matter is miracles are miracles & you can either choose to believe them or choose to disbelieve. In the end its what your heart feels not what your mind thinks.

If you understand the basis of divinity and the fact that it goes beyond the natural ability of human beings, then you would understand that the reason virgin's don't have babies is because they are not conceiving baby jesus who happen's to be the son of God. God isn't a man, he is a a divine being who has power and ability that we can't even imagine. As for Noah and his arch... again, an instance of divine intervention. If you weren't so ignorant you'd understand these things before you try to undermind Christianity by asking a stupid question.

I think God chose to have a virgin give birth to Jesus because he knew Satan could come along and attack Mary with infertitlity or something like that...he has done it may times to other women in the Bible. and it took Noah 100 years to build the ark and I guess with God telling you every exact detail ...it can be done

You are in the catagory with those who would not get on the ark when the rain started. It's called faith. If God can create the universe the ark would be a childs game.

The Ark I don't know about, but virgins CAN give birth, though it does require semen. Artificial insemination!

They would call it faith and their STORIES are just that stories,with a good moral.Don't get me wrong the talking snakes of genesis,the tower of Babel,Sodom and Gomorrah,are all good tales that have be spun to suit the powers that be since their conception(Practical not Immaculate).

because christianity is a faith based religion.
faith: belief that is not based on proof
-dictionary.com.
so you HAVE believe in everything the bible says since christians believe everything in the bible is a direct word of god...and of coarse gods word is "perfect" even though theres NO PROOF of any of thier stories they claim to be true.

If someone can get people to believe in impossibilities, then they can probably take them for a couple bucks, too.
