A question for fundies : How did Noah get two healthy animals from places as far away as China for Pandas ...?

Question

Australia for Koala Bears , and North America for Brown Bears And how did he get and store the specialized food needed . This such as fish for the Polar bears , fresh fruit for the brown bears ,Bamboo shoots for the Pandas and so on .And how about the temperature conditions that each animal needed ? And how about all the animals that needed to eat live animal food .
It seems that he needed special refrigeration systems ,and specialized heating systems ,special food storage systems , modern day animal transport , more than two of each animal if you include those needed for food . And just a handful of people managed all this with a big boat 6,000 years ago ?
How did he do it ? A please don't hand me a load of crap how it was a mirial and I just have to believe .If God wanted to make it a mirical he could have simply done something like put them all in a state of suspended existance until the flood was over .
And how does God justify drowning all the innocent babies & animals ?

Hey Oldmans , And these animals who can't swim wre just given the miracle of being able to swim 1000's of mile though the oceans with out having food or becoming food ? Think a little harder !

Bulldog , There is no mention of god creating animals after the flood , but we do have carbon and layer dated fossiles that contadict the Story of Noah . And why would God have to punish ALL the innocent babies and children to make sure he got the sinners . If he is so great couldn't he tell the difference ? And couldn't he just forgive the sinners and help them ?

Hey Doma ! Then how did the Panda come to reside in China and need the local Bamboo to survive ? And how did the little Koalas wind up in Australia ? And how did the Penguins come to need the freezing tempeatures of the Artic ? Could this be evolution ? GASP !

Bandaidgirl , So God said that the newborn babies and animals were sinners and deserved to ALL be murdered . Yea , that seem like the Christian god who killed ALL the firstborn the Egyptians , And killed all the soldiers following orders chasing Moses , and watched as the Romans and Jews killed Jesus . Sounds just like him !

Notice what percentage of the fundies told me " It was a miracle and you just have to believe . Pathetic !

I had to laugh at Doma's email : He said that the continents formed after the flood and the animals were each sent to a different location and they adapted to their new location .[evolved ?]. Also that the lifespans of men decreased after the flood .
Doma , according to science the continents were well formed 3000 years ago . It has been app 200 million years since they started to drift apart .

Answer 1

Seriously? I'm going to provide two answers here.

The first is that you can't look at the stories of the Bible and accept them the way they are presented. First of all, mistranslation happens all the time (which is why most people think Moses crossed the Red Sea when in fact he crossed the Sea of Reeds). Beyond mistranslation, much of the Bible is symbolic, ammneded, garnished, or embellished because the stories in question happenned before the writing of the Bible took place.

The second answer I will give you is that the story of Noah's ark isn't in fact true, in the sense that the entire world was covered in rainfall. What seems to make more sense is that Noah brought two of every animal, plus food, in his immediate region onto the Ark and there was a flood from some outside source of water, like a lake, river, or ocean, and the rain was a result of the wet environment.

That's the best I could do while procrastinating and not doing my Physics homework.

Answer 2

Okay I am not a preacher but I will give it a shot.

GOD created the Earth and all living things. Maybe at that time all of the animals that we know of or do not know of were not around at that time. Maybe GOD created those animals sometime after he flooded the Earth.

I don't remember the where I saw it on the net but I think that it was on the Island Down under, they found a snake that they or any other country had not heard of.

I can understand where you are coming from because I am guilty of the same question. I do believe in GOD and since I believe then GOD provided for all things at that time.

As for ALL the people that he punished when he flooded the earth GOD wanted to make sure he got all those that were guilty of Sin because all were exposed to sin.

Like the same thing is going on today all around the world are doing about the same thing or even worse. He saw what the flood did to the Earth and he said he would not do that again.

Then he sent CHRIST to die on the cross so all sins would be payed for. The only catch to that is I must believe in Christ and follow his preaching. Like I say I believe in Christ but like others on this planet I still sin; and that my friend is wrong. I don't tell other people that I do better than they because I am a sinner myself.

Thanks for the question,
Bulldog

Answer 3

With God anything is possible.

First of all, trust God's word and trust God. God has never told a lie. It is impossible for God to lie.

In the days before refrigeration, people cured meats with salt. People could not eat a whole cow in one day when they killed one so they cured the meat with salt and it stayed good for an extended amount of time.

In the new testament Jesus fed the five thousand with just a few fish and a few loaves of bread.

I am sure that Noah took in as much feed as possible, but if it ran out God would provide more. God would not let them come that far and let them all die.

How all the details worked out, I don't know. I don't know even if the Bible says how every little thing worked out. But God was in every detail. God can not be left out, after all, He is the one that destroyed the whole earth. And He decided to start over with mankind with Noah and his family.

We are just to trust in God and His word.

God is a miracle worker, then and now.
God completely changed me. (John 3:16)

Answer 4

How did the penguins, polar bears, walruses, seal and sea lions and the hundreds of other arctic and antarctic animals survive the desert heat during the trip and how did they travel back through the desert after the flood was over?

There are so many questions like this; every non-retard knows this myth is complete BS.


Yes, they do need land to rest on or they would tire out and drown in the sea after a few days.

Answer 5

Well, i have to agree there, and did you know "He" did not take hyena's as there a impure breed of cat & dog?

In all states i understand what you meen, it does sound stupid.
That is why in MY OPINION its hard to believe in God or Gods as it is just unreliable. IF in some case this did happen the only answer could be he did everything and as thew flood came he "Put Noah, the ark and all the animals in to Suspened Existence"

As for how God Justifies killing innocents i dont understand the only reason i can see fit is that to him we are Lesser Beings like a kids playset.

Another thing is How come he doesnt stop tornadoes, tsunami's etc from killing people.

Answer 6

The Kentucky Creation Museum says there were floating islands that the animals rode on to get back to their respective continents. The real magic was in getting all the animals over TO the Ark. The only plausible explanation was for God to beam them over and then beam them back again. Seems like it would have been easier just to nuke the world and start over, doesn't it?

Answer 7

Man are you confused. even if would made it simple enough to understand. Would you still question it?
Its not that Noah, went looking for them. they were sent to Noah. If you read,it right. you would, know.
That at that time. the world was one large land mas. except for the waters that surrounded it.
Have you forgot. a lot of animals, can still survive in different temptress, for a certain length of time.
As for the food to feed them.
I'm sure the food was supplied by other animals.
As for the fish. Have you forgot, he was floating on nuthin but water. So i am sure there was plenty of fish. One could fish for,from the ark.

Answer 8

Well, to answer backwards....the answer to your last question. Because of sin. God can do anything he wants....he's God. Who are we to shake our fist and say....how can you do that...drowning innocent babies and animals. They (we) are not innocent.

GE 6:11 Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence.

GE 6:12-13 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.
13 So God said to Noah, "I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.

The bible says ALL PEOPLE...except Noah.....

GE 6:89 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the LORD.
9 This is the account of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God.

Now, understand that God directed the animals to Noah. Somewhere in my studies, I think it took a long time to build the ark. However, I can't find it right now. But here is some scripture. Sometimes you have to dig for the info for it to make since on a time line. I cant find my timeline I did, several years ago.

GE 6:20-21 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.21 You are to take every kind of food that is to be eaten and store it away as food for you and for them."

GE 7:2-3 Take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and two of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate,3 and also seven of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth.

1PE 3:20 .....God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water,

2PE 2:5 if he[God] did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;

God, by his mercy and grace, was able to complete what he asked NOah to do.

GE 6:22 Noah did everything just as God commanded him.

You have to believe by faith.

Answer 9

Yeah yeah yeah, NOW most people say its a metaphorical, symbolic story. Because NOW we know it is total BS. In 300 AD I am sure Christians took the ark story as the literal gospel truth. Just like the Tower of Babel and the other ridiculous tales.

Answer 10

you worry too much about things that really do not matter! as when GOD asked Abraham to offer his son Issac as a sacrifice ,GOD provided his own lamb!it was a test of Abraham's faith! there is nothing too hard for the LORD! just read the bible and pray,it says some things are for only GOD to know! GOD has told us what we need to know and what we are to do! keep the 10 commandments that he handed down through Moses,believe in JESUS as our LORD and SAVIOR,repent of our sins and ask forgiveness ,and to sin no more,and be baptized.everything that we need is right there,don't sweat the small stuff!GOD BLESS YOU!
