Answer 1

Wouldn't some of the animals eat each other?
#1.
Noah would have them in their own area, as God gave design for ARK.

Where was all that fod stored for the animals?
#2.
They came through it fine. So Noah must have had a very good plan to feed them.

Where did the flood waters ome from?
#3.
It had never rained in 1656 years, the life sustaining earth had a water shield lost.

Why were babies killed if they are considerd pure?
#4.
Parents are responsible for offsprings, babies have godly or ungodly parents.

Wouldn't Noah have to travel to different continents to get 2 of every animal?
#5.
When Noah had the ARK ready, God had the animals there.

NOTE: When God had Adam to name all the animals, God delivered the animals to him.

And my question about how was the dung handeled. It was stored on top of the ark to dry and be fuel for fire and cooking, and fire needed to sacrifice after ARK was empty.

Answer 2

1. No, some of the animals would not eat each other. What is it that makes some feel they would anyway? If it was God's intent that a representative of the animal kingdom be preserved on the Ark, would it make sense for Him to allow those animals to eat each other on the Ark? If they were going to do so, why would the Ark have food for those animals? Illogical.

2. All the food was stored on the ark. It was quite huge, you know. In size the ark was, conservatively calculating, 437 ft 6 in. × 72 ft 11 in. × 43 ft 9 in. This gave the ark about 1,400,000 cu ft in gross volume. Internally strengthened by adding two floors, the three decks thus provided gave a total of about 96,000 sq ft of space. Pretty big, huh?

3. The flood waters came from the canopy of water hanging above, according to Genesis 7:11.

4. It is mankind who considers babies to be pure because they are mere infants. The Bible, however, teaches that all humans are inherently sinful, inherently imperfect. Even so, babies are the responsibility of their parents who brought them into the world. Had the parents listened and gotten on the ark, those babies would have been spared.

5. Did Noah need to go to different continents to get two of every animal? No, not really. Noah was instructed to get animals representative of kinds. Not species. Kinds. The two terms are not synonymous. And those kinds were all represented in the Middle East where Noah built the Ark. "It has been estimated by some that the hundreds of thousands of species of animals today could be reduced to a comparatively few family “kinds” — the horse kind and the cow kind, to mention but two," according to one Bible encyclopedia.

Answer 3

God had control over the animals and he did not want them to eat each other, that would have defeated the purpose. They must have stored enough food for them to eat or they would not have survived. The waters came from the sky and from underneath the ground. All the people who were killed in the flood had angel's blood mixed in their blood and Noah and his family were the only pure humans left. God is God and he kills and make alive as he pleases. And finally I'm sure God commanded the animals to travel to wherever Noah was to get on the ark.

Answer 4

wouldn't it just be simple to say that God did everything?

1, animals had plenty of food and the same way they did not eat each other in Eden thats the same way..God's presence.

2. The fod was stored in the food storage section. the ark was quite massive! second level.

3. the flood waters, as scripture states, came from the heavens. It started as a heavy rain, then just opened up. it did rain constantly for 40 dyas you know.

4. Babies were killed throuout scripture. In Bethlehem, first born in Egypt. why? as a sacrifice. easy for me to say. sacrifice for Jesus, sacrifice for the world.

5. You can find virtually every animal in Africa, which was a stones throw away. I dont beleive that the continents were even seperated back then. you know, pangea. yea yea, go ahead and listen to the scientists. yes, im smarter!

Answer 5

If evolution is a myth, and the Noah's ark story is true, then there must have been at least 720,000 beetles on the ark (a pair each of the at least 360,000 known species). If the beetles weighed an average of say, 10 grams each, thats a mass of about 8 tons of beetles, so simply to account for the beetles the ark would need to displace 8 tons of water to stay afloat!

Answer 6

1) Noah was a hell of a good zookeeper.
2) Lots of cabinet space for food. Would have sold instantly on the open market.
3) The little boy took his finger out of the dike. Yeah, Noah said,"hey kid, can you hand me that turtle." Out came the finger and up went the water level.
4) Colateral Damage.
5) Little known fact. He built a concord with that ark.

Answer 7

The story of Noah's Ark was a Jewish story of faith that was written to contradict the pagan story, Epic of Gilgamesh, which was being forced upon the Jewish people after the Babylonians captured them in 575 BC. This fact is historically contained within scripture itself in 1st and 2nd Kings. It wasn't written to be taken literally, but rather applied to each believer in the one true God fo Israel -- Yahweh.

Answer 8

He probably had them in cages, you can ask the same thing about a zoo, I think one of the floors was used for storage, from the sky, where most water comes from, what babies?, and I think at that point everything was one continent, and it took him quite a while to get the animals.

Answer 9

I thought Noah got 7 of every animal?

Answer 10

1 not if they were separated
2 on the ark
3 What if this was the super continent break up?
4 Babies die today
