The greatest story never told?

Question

If the story of Noah & the ark is so true:

Where did all the water go AFTER the flood? (had to go somewhere)

What did Noah do about space for freshwater creatures (rising ocean levels would mix their saltiness in fresh water & kill all the fresh water creatures, otherwise)

Creatures that ONLY (ardvarks?) eat ants, where did they find enough ants to eat? (if there were only 2 that survived) Before & after the flood. You mean they waited at 1 anthill for a population to increase (how many years does that take, with only 2 ants?) before they started to dine?

Why didn't the woodpeckers peck holes in the ark?

What about creatures that only eat wood? Termites? Why didn't they eat a hole in the ark?

What did Noah & his family eat? Too dark for planting food, guess they killed a few sheep?

How did he do cleanup on all the animals? (or did they all just lie in their stinking piss & dung?)

How did the salty ocean levels NOT kill off all the earth's plants?

Guess it must of been a real pain to keep lion from eating sheep before AND after the flood? After all, killing and eating even ONE of them would destroy it's chances of populating the world? (there are only two of them!)

How do you keep venus fly trap from killing & eating flies or other insects? (NOO!!! Please don't kill off the only 2 before they mate!)

If the ark came to rest on top of a mountain, after 40 days & nights of raining (hey, don't forget waiting for the water to drop, what a year?)

Must be very cold, low oxygen up high on a mountain, in addition to, well, what happens when the sun doesn't shine for 40 days & nights?

Even we, know that just in 1 night, the temperature can drop 40 or even 60 degrees or more. But 40 nights & days like this?

Betcha they froze too death, in the ark, or out of it! Earth must of been an iceball, the waters had to have frozen solid!

I just don't see how this flood story makes ANY logical sense, when basic reasoning is applied. Do you?

Answer 1

None of the stories in the Bible make sense. All the Christians will just say either that God works in mysterious ways or that the story is not meant to be taken literally. The Bible is such a malleable tool, like I've stated many times. It's literal when it works to the Christians' advantage, but metaphorical/figurative when it can't be reconciled with reality. Good luck. Willful ignorance allows Christians to shape the Bible around reality.

Answer 2

Here was my argument that I wrote a few weeks ago.

There are three living species of elephants. There are six species identified total. Just the 6 elephants to cover the living ones and enough food would be problematic. They eat about 300 kg a day so you would need over 600,000 kg just to feed them for over 300 (it was really 372, but lets keep the math simple) days. The largest wooden ships built only displaced (fully loaded weight of entire ship) about 500 tons. You need more than 600 tons of food just for the elephants, and that doesn't count the weight of the elephants or ship.

Now throw in the three living species of Rhinos and you need six of them too, and the two Hippo species meaning you need four of them. Now just for fun let’s throw in the cats. There are 39 living species and a bunch more that are recently (500 years) extinct. And that is giving the benefit of the doubt on subspecies; but if you can't evolve you would have had too. They start with a lion and tiger and go down and you need two of each. These not only need food, it has to be meat. Now without refrigeration that means bringing a lot of goats and such just to feed them.

It isn't workable in any real world. We couldn't build a ship that would do this with our modern technology. Let alone try to build it out of wood.

By the way there are 900,000 known insects. We find about 2,000 new ones every year so that isn't a full list. This alone would be problematic.

Answer 3

Well, the basic fact that the Noah's ark story is a fictional story. It didn't actually happen. And this is coming from a Christian!
You forgot another thing, With only two of every species, it leaves absolutely no room for genetic diversity. I mean, if a species only had a few hundred to a couple of thousand members, it's classed as endangered. With two members, it's virtually extinct.

Answer 4

In reality though, there is some proof that others aside from Christians know about the Great Flood. In Greek Mythology, (although I dont believe in Greek mythology) there is a story of strange resemblance to the Great Flood in the Bible. But it was Poisedon who flooded the Earth however.

Answer 5

Thearth was originally watered from the depths of the earth like gysers. When the ice rings melted around the atmosphere there was our first rain. The water merely went underground and formed oceans and rivers and ice mountains etc.

Answer 6

greatest story told

Answer 7

With God, all things are possible.
Move on to want is needed of you now.
We need invisible heros and prayer warriors.
God will protect us from evil nations.
God will frustrate the plans of evil nations.
We are in Satan's tribulation.
Jesus Christ will return.
Jesus will be victorious.
Satan is a loser:)
Peace out.

Answer 8

You are asking like a milking baby. are you not matured to think otherwise. I should be proud of you if you think as an intelligent man or woman. May God help you to think better.

Answer 9

Very childish! You don't want to know anything.
You think you have all the answers so,why even bother?

Answer 10

My God can do anything but fail. But you question that so what can I say that you would believe. NOTHING Sorry.
