Frankenstein: 5000 people were fed with five loaves of bread. I'm sure you don't believe that too. The problem here is that some people are trying to use physical knowledge to understand spiritual things which is impossible. I believe that one... 4 Likes |

God in His infinite wisdom coded Adam's genes to produce 6.5million different people. There's NOTHING impossible no matter how incredible it sounds. There are alluvial deposits on the pyramids that proves the deluge. Also walrus bones found Sahara desert. Solar system and d earth's shape was first mentioned in d bible. The credibility of d Holy book shouldn't be questioned but understood thru d Holy Spirit 2 Likes |

AjaoMT2: A servant can't be above his master. Jesus obviously believed these "incredible" stories and made reference to some of them (for example, the story of Jonah being swallowed by the fish). If he did believe them, and I have seen the effect of his work in my life, then I do certainly believe them. “Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.” BUDDHA 1 Like |

Evil Brain: How did Noah fit 2 million insects (1 million species x 2) into the ark? And how did be manage to fit 12,000 amphibians, 20,000 birds, 11,000 mammals, 16,000 reptiles and god knows how many crustaceans, arachnids and mollusks into a boat that must have already been overflowing with insects? Where did he find space to keep a years worth of food for all those animals? How did he keep the meat for the Lions, tigers and other carnivores fresh for a whole year? Why did he take mosquitoes, tapeworms, guinea worms and the HIV virus aboard the ark? Did he infect himself with all those parasites, or did he force his wife and children to carry them? How come all the animals didn't freeze to death at 9,000 metres altitude (the height of Mount Everest which must have been underwater) Where did they find oxygen to breathe at that height? What did all the animals eat after getting off the ark? All the plants must have died after a year underwater, and all the animals would have drowned so no food for herbivores or carnivores. How come all the fish in the ocean survived? Saltwater fish can't survive in freshwater and the ocean would have been massively diluted with all that rain. Or did the ark also have a salty fish tank with space for 60,000 fish (30,000 species x 2)? And how did he feed all those fish?dnt look into man for these explanations, mind u ther ar lots of stuff that ar not writen down. God reveal things that we need, to knw only but i tell u the rest u will knw by the spirit of God wen u stay in comunion with him. |

oluafolabi: This question is putting the bible in a very tight corner though. Jeremiah 8:8 says ' How can you say "We are wise and the law of the Lord is with us?" Look the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood. The bible is not 100% correct. The bible itself tells you that everything ib the bible is not the truth. Some lies have been put into the bible. |

Certainly, some dudes here need adult supervision around sharp objects. Not to sound like I'm mocking but it's astonishing what people believe. That an ark a little larger than two standard-sized football fields contained at least a pair of all the Animals that exist. Presently, a pair of all the animals existing, excluding those extinct or yet to be discovered, can not fit into the ark. Then let's say a relatively smaller number of the animals existing where taken in, and the many different species and kinds we know today were offsprings of those select few, how is that not evolution? I don't want to boggle myself down by the many intricasies that make this story fictitious. There's a sharp divide between Moses dividing the Red Sea (which can be done by magic) and Noah building an ark that accommodated all living animals. I've had a good laugh reading through this thread, some of us have not read Jewish literature (that gave birth to the bible) you'd rofl like you'd do if you read an authentic Greek record of fables. Serve God not for what he has, can or will do, but because you value what you have around you and want to be a beacon of joy, hope, tolerance, understanding and critical thinking; especially in times like this when people like to blame others for their misfortune or tend to be shockingly irrational. Trying to prove God exists is foolhardy, because he most probably might not be what you posit him to be, nor do the vices you take as proofs remain infallible (a hole has/can be punched in anything you bring as proof). |

For pets sake why would someone question the way God does his things? If christain, i mean real christians would believe that God send christ to us and believe in everything he does including the teachings about the kingdom of God and the miracles he performed, then i see no reason for this argument. Maybe i am mistaken some people who comment on this thread as true christians. May God deliver us all especially the iniator of this thread. |

All these so called 'grey areas' are not exactly so. It's pointless trying to rationalize or disambiguate this biblical claim scientifically. Any true Christian will understand the Bible clearly spells out that there's no searching of His understanding. This story is just one of the many mysteries humans cannot unravel. The much we can do is debunk and dismiss it as many have done. I'm not particularly a Bible scholar but I'm a Christian enamoured by God's love. If anyone thinks I dogmatically follows Christianity, well, that's what I choose to be but I'm far from being a religious dunce or bigot. But on a flip side, I'd rather be a dogmatic Christ follower than join the ranks of atheists swarming NL. |

Ask questions mister, it's different when you say I believe it's this way but can't prove it, than it's recorded by supposed men of God and so must be true. If you ask your professor questions, why can't you ask your Preacher? According to the Bible, God communicated with his prophets, they asked him questions and he answered, the answers may have not been recorded, but surely if those guys can, you too can. Stop this laity conditioning, if you can't give reasonable reasons why you believe certain things, then you need to relinquish your certificate--it's hard to think you asked your lecturer any questions. I'm sure that God (if he exists) would want you to know, possibly understand him. If you don't think so, then you worship a God that doesn't exist. |

All arguments from the Bible, taken far away from the Bible will still come back to the Bible and land upon it. That is why God is God. People don't need any other proofs except the ones already spoken. |

Once you answer it, then the follow up question is How YOU as a person know that it is filled with lies/incorrect information. Put into consideration, the stories were written way before any of your ancestors. Please tell me why you believe it. Let me spare you though. You believe it because the doctrine of FEAR was fed to you from childhood. The writers used the concept of FEAR to make everyone believe their stories. "They put up lies and gave excuses such as, you can't question the word of God" I know I can not question the word of GOD but I can CERTAINLY QUESTION WHAT MAN WROTE IN the Bible. 1 Like |

Rexyl: All arguments from the Bible, taken far away from the Bible will still come back to the Bible and land upon it. That is why God is God. People don't need any other proofs except the ones already spoken. If this trend continues, there will be less and less people that believe in the Bible and in the distant future, people will do away with it. Rather than telling people to JUST BELIEVE, we need to start asking questions. Then only can we know the truth. Otherwise you will keep on isolating people. Imagine the kids we have today that know how to handle IPADS by the age of 2 - 3. Imagine when they grow up and you still keep feeding them stories like Noahs Ark, don't you think they will one day stand up from the congregation and give you a well deserved SLAP. |

You wont get answers. The people on here will only tell you to just BELIEVE. The same way they believed every single story their colonizers and slave masters brought to them. Some will even tell you that it was missionaries that brought it to us : Who brought the missionaries in? No be d same slave masters and colonizers? How come Africa didn't have these same stories until Columbus or whoever it was discovered us. Could it be that we were doing our own thing jejely in Africa while Noahs flood happened on another continent, hence we didn't hear about it?

I stated my belief in my first post, if you aren't cool with it, well, too bad. It's your hard luck my friend. But I do hope you see the light someday. Good luck and scurry along now. |
