Was physics different when Noah built the ark? I mean, seriously... how did he get all the animals from all over the world on that boat? How did he get penguins to the Middle East? How did he get them back after the big flood? Why didn't the tigers eat all the sheep? I know from reading that you are jealous and envious and want nothing more than for all of us to believe in you... wouldn't you like to let us in on your secret? Come on, how'd he do it?

I wondered about this myself at one time so I did a lot of studding about this and I was fascinated to learn that many cultures have a story about a great flood a man a boat and animals. From all parts of the earth. How did all of these ancient cultures know of the story, the man and his family's names are different.There is evidence of a flood in the rock formation that scientists have even had to admit that there was a great flood.God calmed the animals so that they didn't eat each other.

....Compared to the flood accounts contained in Jewish scriptures, and indeed the various cultural beliefs of other peoples, the Qur'anic account, which was revealed by Allah and is the only divine text to have remained uncorrupted, stands as the most reliable of all these accounts. The Torah, says that this flood was universal and covered the whole world. On the contrary, it appears from the relevant verses that the flood was a regional one and punished not the whole world but only the tribe that rejected the Prophet Nuh (as). Those who were destroyed in it were the people who rejected the message of the Prophet Nuh (as) and persisted in their denial. There is no indication in the Qur'an that the flood was universal....

Most people understand its a story, nothing more.
Most likely the Tigris and Euphretis rivers flooded, causing a massive flood between the two of them. Well, at the time for people who didn't travel their entire "world" just went underwater?
So how did animals survive? Perhaps someone put enough on a boat...and the story grew from there.

Are we really post to believe the story of Noah and the Ark?

I don't understand that story either, to be honest. I'm an Agnostic; meaning I still admire Christ, but I don't believe a lot of what the Bible says. I believe the Bible was right about Christ, but that a lot of it was made up.

Think, genious. Penguins make their home in the water. They didn't need to go on the ark. Will you ask how whales got on the ark too? *knocks on your head*

Yes, we ARE supposed to believe the story of Noah and the Ark. And I, for one, DO believe it.

Quite simple once you actually study and look into the Bible, but I guess you wouldn't want to do that would you?
