its NO WHERE NEAR possible. do people even know how many animals and insects there are on this planet? its IMPOSSIBLE! there are even some animals and insects we dont know or know almost nothing about! its not even possible for the world to get flooded like that! when the water recided...where the hell did it go? gravity suddenly didnt work right and the water went into space? how did certain animals even get to the middle east? this was obviously before the ice age...so there was NO Bering Strait! how did north american and south american animals cross over to the other side of the earth? ride blue whales? makes NO LOGICAL SENSE! ....i cant believe some people believe its possible.

Is there anyone intelligent and imaginative enough to work out that these stories could be allegorical, that the writers didn't understand the context of the stories themselves, because the technologies involved were beyond their understanding ? That maybe the story was of an even more fantastic journey, in which the main 'actors' were familiar with not only DNA, but also how to structure a program to store the necessary elements of each species, together with a regeneration program using common elements to re-launch each species in the necessary way ?
We are so sure that our current 'technology' is the greatest ever, when, in reality, it could be that we have been down this 'road' many times before, and reached far greater 'heights' ?
Only when these stories, like the 'Pyramid texts' of Unas, for example, are taken at face value, and interpreted by rigid minds in a far too literal sense, can we fall into the kind of nonsense that we do. The 'Noah' was cobbled together thousands of years after the actual events, and was plagiarised by Hebrew scribes from the Epic of Gilgamesh, a Sumerian text, which was, itself, plagiarised from the Enki myths, older than pre-history, in human terms.
Only a 'waterhead', as you so picturesquely put it, would think that these stories could be taken literally. As with everything, they should be seen through the eyes of perspective.

you're ignorant if you think you can prove it never happenned. Scientists has theorized that if it did happen, it happenned a real long time ago and obviously, he didn't have every 2 species alive today because scientific theory shows animals evolved from simpler organisms. Galileo was a devout catholic. Einstein was devoted jewish. The leader for the Human Genome project is a christian. These great men had more brains in their morning dump than you have in your whole body, so go get an education or something. you can't prove nothing.

There real question is what creatures missed the boat.
The story of the flood date back 2000 years before Abram (Abraham). Why did Moses include it in Genesis?
If you are looking for scientific answers, you are using the wrong book. You can join the groups that are looking for the Ark today.

No, but... if the entire earth were flooded and destroyed by a flood, there would be no record of the technology Noah might have had access to. The scripture may also be an analogy or maybe only a small place where Noah lived flooded and he took two of the animals he was familiar with. The scriptures typically leave a lot of possibilities.

Hi Dave! Ignorant people? Well, count me in that group then! If you want to disbelieve or doubt the story, that is understandable. I am kinda slow to say that I know things that God does not know! That would tell you that I think that I am smarter than God. Someday, we will know lots of things that we don't fully understand right now. I don't judge people for their doubting of the supernatural experiences of mine or of others, I understand their doubts.
We have faith, Dave. We have reason to have faith because we have listened to the witness of others and we have tested the testimonies and have received spiritual confirmations on our own that what we are told is true. We have defenders of our faith also, people who gather evidence and present it to us. We hear and see things that corroborate what we believe.
It is a very difficult thing for someone outside of that faith to understand how people ever believe these things, which, at first glance, seem absurd.
I too, find it real hard to understand how Noah did what he did. How in heck did it get done? Dave, I don't know! But, I also know that God is much smarter than either of us, and if God can make worlds, He can certainly get critters on a boat. Lots of possibilities present themselves, too numerous to mention here. My mind cannot even begin to grasp it, neither can yours. I believe it was done somehow. You do not believe it at all.
But, that is cool. You don't have to believe it if you don't want to.
One thing I believe is certain; no amount of my ignorance or your doubt will ever alter truth and reality.

what is it you really dont believe in? the capacity of tha Ark? or the existence of the Ark itself? with the way you coined the question, there is a presumption that you believed that there was actually an Ark, though you are in wonder just how gargantuan it is to hold such plenty of animals. since you have believed in the Ark, might as well believe in anything that goes with it.
maybe that is the main reason why dinosaurs have to perish billions of years before, or else, will double your wondering...

Look obviously you have never been on his ark, let me tell you. Not only was it big enough to hold all the animals, it was also big enough that Yonah could hide for over 40 days on it from the family.

Yes, two [ 2 ], of the wild animals and seven [ 7 ] each of the domestic and animals that some can be used as food, until there are crops again.

I agree, if that story was true and the whole earth was flooded everywhere we dig at when we build our cities would find skeletons laying around everywhere. Also he was supposed to take food for all the animals. What about the carnivorous animals? They would have to have a lot more animals taken on the ark just to feed them, especially for ten months. It doesn't make logical since
