So don't give me the BS about I am not to take it littrally, the bible say 2 of every animal so how did he fit all of the billions of different animals on the ark from the littlest bugs, Asian tigers, Australian Kangaroos, Polar bears?

According to the Biblical chronology the global flood occurred approximately 4500 years ago. If this event occurred as described in the Bible, the geological evidence left behind could never be correctly interpreted by a naturalist. Although the earth is covered in monumental volumes of sediment, the existence of modern animals atop these deposits must be explained naturally (i.e. many local floods, gradual deposition over millions of years). However, the Bible specifically says that God caused the earth to be flooded until the waters exceeded the highest mountain by 20 feet (Gen 7:20), and to the extent necessary so no human was capable of surviving without supernatural intervention. The evidence of this event covers the entire world, but can not be correctly interpreted by modern science due to their atheistic philosophy and naturalistic presuppositions
Gen 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, on the seventeenth day of the second month--on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened According to scripture, the ark came to rest in the mountains of Ararat which are now in Turkey. There have been numerous reports of sightings throughout history, but the region remains largely unexplored. Although the ark probably decomposed completely since the flood, it remains a dream of Biblical archaeologists worldwide that the ark would be found. The ark's discovery would substantiate the Biblical account of a recent global flood and God's judgment. A vessel of that size would arguably verify that it was not millions of years, but divine intervention that was responsible for saving modern terrestrial animals from the global flood that deposited the geological column.

So get your history right before you consider it BS

Genesis 6:15 in the Bible tells us the Ark's dimensions were at least 135 meters long (300 cubits), 22.5 meters wide (50 cubits), and 13.5 meters high (30 cubits). That's 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high! It could have been larger because several larger-sized cubits were used. But the 45-centimetre (18-inch) cubit is long enough to show the enormous size of the Ark.

Noah's Ark was three stories high (Genesis 6:16). Its total deck area was equivalent to the area of about 20 standard college basketball courts or 36 lawn tennis courts. The world had to wait until AD 1884 before the Ark's size was exceeded, when the Italian liner Eturia was built.

The Ark was definitely big enough hold all the animals

God Bless You

Of all of the fairie tales of the bible the one about Noah's Ark has to be the most far fetched and the most unbelievable. I'm sure you'll get some answers about how it is all true and the ark has been found in Turkey, blah, blah blah. Nothing has been found and/or verified to be anything more than christians over active, paranoid wishes.

be conscious that that's one million/twelfth of the size, and that they nonetheless did no longer glide it on a canal. discover me a maritime engineer that would layout a wood boat the size of the ark that may not harm up or leak like a sieve on a comfortable ocean swell and that i will take the story particularly greater heavily. additionally i ought to have neglected the bit approximately Noah making 6ft severe panes of glass. The homestead windows on the ark are defined as a single window one cubit sq.. to furnish sufficient air flow over the three decks Noah could ought to layout a gadget to head air nevertheless the window at approximately 200 mph. ultimately, the place did you get 40 days? that's how long it rained. bypass returned a re-examine the passage. The animals have been on the ark for one 12 months.

There were also seven of certain types of animals and it's not a fairy tale. The ark has been found on the mountains of Ararat, in what today is the country of Turkey.

It's not a problem at all if you reduce it down to the basic two of each species, and then allow for all the natural variations to occur later, over future time.

Two cats, not a thousand cats. Two dogs, not four thousand dogs.

Truth is, nobody knows exactly how it was accomplished, but the whole thing was supernatural.

The story of Noah's ark is greatly exaggerated. The whole world wasn't flooded. Noah didn't have kangaroos on the ark.

No, thats not what it says. It says two of every "kind".

You on the other hand are talking about 2 of every sub-species.

Most christians believe in micro-evolution within a general kind. They dont believe in macro-evolution or one kind turning into another.

And you are to take it literally. But, it helps if you read it before you take it in any way.

It says two of every kind, not each. It doesnt necessarily mean two of everything, just kind. What is a kind, you tell me, research it.

If you think that all men came from one kind of man, why is it so hard to believe that all cats came from one kind of cat, all lizards came from one kind of lizard etc. Where is your evolutionary thinking now? I dont think everyone came from nothing, but it is possible that god devided the species from their own kind.
