Genesis 7:2 says he took 9 of every animal. I was told that they were all babies and that God put them in a hibernation state for a year. He did not take the fish - they were cool where they were. Dinosaurs were a trick by satin. - the justifications go on and on.....

A person can ask that sort of thing about any long distant event. For instance, how did the Easter island people get those big heads all over the place? And yet we do know they did.

Clearly, Genesis does not detail the care and feeding of a water-borne zoological collection... it only suggests it happened. And things CAN happen, even if we don't have all the details.

Even as a Christian, I'm not necessarily inclined to take Genesis as a literal history of things that historically happened. However, I do take the Noah's ark story somewhat seriously, even if not every creature in the world was on this boat, and even if it is pretty obvious Mesopotamian floods were all local in scope.

The reason I take it seriously is that flood mythology practically litters the mythology of the Middle East. Every culture had a similar tale. The most famous of these is the story of Gilgamesh.

a million: Noah took 2/7 of each kind of animal. that's 2 canines, 2 cats, and so on. no longer 2 german shepherds, 2 chihuahuas, 2 bulldogs. Noah took 2 of each kind of animal, and over the generations they split into the different "species" of canines, cats, besides the fact that. So it may be plenty fewer. that's estimated that there are in basic terms 1000-1500 "varieties" of animals. while you're taking this under consideration, the ark had room for each thing, even the dinosaurs(definite, dinos have been on the ark as properly) 2: It become no longer in basic terms Noah, yet Noah's 3 sons helped him as properly. He could have employed extra hard artwork, however Genesis isn't specific. If he become a deliver-builder by applying commerce, he could have already had quite a few hundred years adventure. 3: that's known that animals have been all plant-eaters previous to the flood. After the flood, God supplies guy permission to consume animal meat. that's believed that that's while animals began ingesting meat as properly. as some distance via fact something of the nutrition, there are 2 opportunities: the two (a) the animals weren't totally grown(meaning they ate much less, crapped much less, and after an entire year on the ark have been at their finished reproductive skill), or (b) they went into some style of divinely-triggered hibernation. Or probably the two. interior the top, my resource of questioning is Bible-based. The Bible says it occurred, so it occurred. What I do then is locate out the way it occurred. in case you examine the Bible searching for motives to no longer have faith, you mustn't difficulty choosing it up in any respect.

Honestly I believe God saved other people and animals that were not on Noah's Ark itself. Where do you use the bathroom when you are on a plane? You use it there and it is removed from the plane. Why would water animals need to be put on a boat if the world was covered in water? Certain areas could have just as well remained salt water and others fresh water.

They have found Noah's ark on MT Ararat. It is now covered in ice and snow, and broken in two. Inside are steal cages for some live animals. But most where kept in test tubes as DNA. Which brings us to why the governments of the world cover up its existence. The technologies inside are well advanced to what supposedly existed at the time. Technology in the wrong hands is dangerous. Imagine one ding dong towing an asteroid towards the earth. Technology is dangerous.

Just think of the Ark as one giant floating barn about the length of two football fields and Noah as the farmer with his family helping. He gathered food and supplies before the flood and God subdued the animals so that they would'nt fight. They cleaned up the waste by throwing it out . Water animals could survive the flood by going deep and hiding under rocks and in caves.

The water animals didn't need to come aboard.Translate the cubits to 24 " each and you got a huge boat.If he got two of all "species",not necessarily breeds,plus he took 7 of all the clean(Kosher) animals and if he took them as babies,they wouldn't be that hard to control if there were compartments.They'd poop in the hay and Shem ,Ham and Japheth would have to clean up and chuck it out an opening.People forget he took 7 of the clean animals.A cubit translates to 24 inches NOT 18 as alot of people think.

No,Noah didn't have to take all the Animals up to the Ark.Because the flood only gone through the land of Noah.Christians thought wrong because they thought that the flood flooded the whole world.

The Bible specifically said "The Land" not "the world" in Hebrew.

I'm a Youth Sunday School Teacher. God was speaking to the animals and had them to behave themselves. They were able to throw the waste off the boat when they had bowel movements and or urine. The ark was large enough for every animal two of each kind of animal. I feel that our religion is based by faith and without faith it is impossible to please the Lord. Ask God to help you take the Bible by faith. Watch this movie and be blessed. www.mayyoubeblessedmovie.com
