@kobosmalls, the only people who believe such trash are "African christians" who eat grass like goats!!! Their brains should have told them that for Kangaroos to appear in only one part of the world, is evidence of "Endemism", one of the irrefutable proofs of Evolution!!! Sadly, the 'sub saharan slaves' still kneel down to images of White men, many years after slavery was abolished!!!

kobosmalls:
If Noah's ark really saved every animal on earth today, how come kangaroos are mostly if not only found in Australia. To be precise, Noah's ark stopped at mount Ararat located at eastern turkey. How did the kangaroos get to Australia a continent surrounded by the pacific and Atlantic oceans? How come no trace of kangaroos have been found around turkey not even their remains nor signs of their migration from Ararat to Australia? Did they fly across the oceans? OK maybe it was a miracle like Mary the virgin conceiving Jesus without sex. How funny ...... Really how can anyone believe these trash?

Scholar8200:
The Biblical account of creation and the Great Dispersion gives us enough reason to believe that initially, the earth (ground) was a lump rising out of and separated from the water bodies. Hence we may safely say that the separation of continents by ocean etc took place much later.

There is an aspect of Geography that also establishes this position. Hence the animals did not need to 'fly across the ocean'.

TrajansKong:


So the continents separated after the flood?? And they carried the different animals with them as they split away from the 'lump'?

This makes no sense whatsoever.

Which 'aspect of geography establishes this position'?

Scholar8200:

Not immediately after the flood but over time.

It's called Continental Drift.

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and [b]the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

In life, anything is possible.

If ancient Egyptians can build pyramids and obelisks that endured till today... Even built giant ships to transport heavy stuffs....

The walls of babylon.. as high as 15 storey buildings and wide as 20 lane highway so that soldiers could shoot from top of the walls.... The great wall of china... Aren't they real?

Then what makes you think noah ' s ark is impossible?

We're talking about millions of years past here....

Remember in the times of Aristotle, people thought the World was one big single flat plate surrounded by water on the edges.

We all know isrealites are short people ... So goliath the "giant " might just be 10-11 feets tall while isrealites were 5-7 feet ppl so goliath seemed like giant to them.

My point is... People write based on their time.... At the time of writing the first books of the bible, people certainly thought the whole World is the middle east..... So if a large scale flood or tsunami once sub-emereged the whole middle east, .... In the writers mind, the whole World was covered in flood.

This undersight can be forgiven because ... Even with all the science and technology they had, ... A few centuries ago, people thought there were only 3 continents in the World .... Africa Europe and Asia.... Finish... That was before the Americas, Australia and Antarctica were discovered.... Even till today, we are still discovering new facts about the earth.

We're talking about millions of years ago here....

Let me ask the O.p this question .... If you have to trek from lagos to calabar or kano through thick jungles in ... Say 10th century..... No bicycle, no plane, no car... No chariot... How many "World " will you see? You might probably write thar you saw 12 different Worlds.

So everything that happened millions of years ago when the scrolls were being written only happened within the vicinity of the writer. .... To them... At the time, only the middle eas. Is "the whole World " ...

All those animals you said noah packed into the ark were most probably not found in the area at all.... So Noah packed in only the animals within the vicinity to that couldn't live in water to save them from flooding ...

All these talks of kangaroo and penguins are not necessary.

MrPresident1:
The flood of Noah was not a literal flood, and Christians who try to reason this out literally with atheists will make a laughing stock of themselves.

Noah's Ark is the heart of the man who has the breathe of God in him. The breathe of God is the Word of God, and is the spirit of God. Any man who does not have the Word/Spirit of God is a DEAD man.

The Waters of Noah's flood is heathenistic (sic) knowledge, devious evil and idolatrous knowledge, the knowledge possessed by beasts that enable them to act like beasts.

Clean and unclean animals, the animals of Noah's ark are not literal animals, they are Man-kind who obeyed Noah (Man). Birds of the air, cattle, creeping things are all figurative description of kinds men, Noah/Adam being the original man (who was created in the image and likeness of God, or who had the Word of God in his heart).

There was a flood of heathen knowledge in the world, and the people that did not have the Word/Spirit of God in them died, they died spiritually, they were overtaken by the flood of idolatrous knowledge which swept them away from the presence of God.

It was all allegories.

kobosmalls:

Keep gulping in any nonsense you are being fed in church. Think for yourself that's why u posses a brain. This trash you are explaining makes it sound like you are defending urselve against accepting the fact that the story is stupid. Now everything in the bible that sounds reasonable to you has a literal meaning and that which makes no sense is symbolic. You should be ashamed of urself. If that ark didn't have a literal meaning, why the hell was the whole measurement described their even the interior designs were specified. How does those specifications add up and becomes a mans heart or whatever shameful nonsense u just said. You disgust me. Don't allow someone else to think for you.

MrPresident1:


See compound mumu . The mistake compound buffoons like you make is thinking that the Bible is written for everyone to be able to comprehend it's contents, but sorry to burst your bubble , the Bible is hieroglyphics to zombie souls the more they read, the more confused they get.

The Bible is not meant to be read or understood literally, literal interpretation of the Bible just like you expect is the stuff of zombies, how many odus of ifa do you understand? Can you understand the ifa corpus without being initiated into the secrets?

Noah's ark is not literal, elementary geography says the earth is spherical and cannot be flooded at once, and then all the animals on earth cannot fit into Noah's finite sheep, stop being stup.id.

BlackIsLife:
@MrPresident1 your comment are beautifully idiotic!

Don't you think b4 you talk? - denying the possibility of the story will automatically makes all the stories in the bible becomes ridiculous. - i really like the game u wanna play though

Was the flood real? yes, according 2 what u bible said.

Was the flood wordwide? yes, the bible evidence strongly support that it was indeed universal. god commanded noah to build an ark to save both a remnant of humanity and the animal creation. But if the flood were local, then all the effort to build it would be totally unnecessary and the whole story becomes rediculous. Noah could have just trotted down the road a few miles & escaped


If Noah ark story is allegorical why did peter draw comparison btw D historic flood judgement & D coming fire judgement, 2pet. 3: 3-7: states definitely that as god once destroyed the world by a flood, he will someday likewise through a fire. - is hellfire allegorical too?


Why not take up a bible & educate yourself - delusional folks!

kobosmalls:

Wasn't meant to be understood literally yet it was written in human friendly language and mysteriously yet somehow its only people like you who lack the mental capacity to tell fiction from fact that understand it. Good for you. You have now moved from idiot to king of idiots.

MrPresident1:


This guy is off the hook sha .

Like I said earlier, the more zombies read the Bible, the more confused (and angry) they get. Literal interpretation of the Bible is the stuff of idiots, quote me anywhere. The Bible is coded, droids and robotons will never understand its contents, the more they try, the more confused and angrier they get.

Yes, hellfire is allegory, there is no furnace up there in the skies, all figurative use of words!

Idiot confidently defending a worldwide flood at this epoch in the evolution of knowledge!

BlackIsLife:




What!! This is amazing!!!

The bible clearcy teaches, the entire earth will be burned (2 pet 3:10) - if the flood was not real or worldwide, then god lied to noah when he promised never to send a destructive flood again (gen 9:11)


If Hell is not real, then, how will you explain rev 20:10: " and the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire & brimstone, where the beast & the false prophet are? - are you a JW?

MrPresident1:


This one is even quoting Bible sef , I refuse to add canon fodder to the arsenal of cretins. Humble yourself in the presence of the MOST HIGH GOD, and He will give you wisdom to understand His Word.

I cannot help you

Domislaz:
OP you need to educate yourself on plate tectonics and mass movement. Continents and ocean basis are moved and changed in shape as a result of plate movements.

MrPresident1:


You, my friend, are now the emperor of bonobos

Bonobos do not have the capacity to decipher the figurative use of words. If brains were TNT, you wouldnt have enough to split open a groundnut pod.

The more zombies read the Bible, the more confused they get.

Bloody bonobo!

kobosmalls:

Learn one word and then the op needs education. Plate tectonics has nothing to do with the problem. Even if oceans and continents moved over time shouldnt all animals move with it or at least leave traces of their ancestral existence? So while australia moved to its current position it took all the kangaroos that noah brought to turkey all the way from europe and left none for europe while other animals moved and some remained in europe save for kangaroos. Do u even know that elephants are mostly found in africa and asia. How did that happen too? Yeah plate tectonics instead of evolution. Go and read my post before jibber jabbering about words you know little about their meaning.

Domislaz:


It seems you are just working so hard to be a belligerent bigot. I feel so debased for even trying to school you with a simple and palpable post in the first place. You reek of ineptitude. Instead of you to seek explication you decided to vituperate balderdash. Do you know the Environment more than myself? Hurl!

You ignorant fellow who go about trying to confuse Christians when all you have to bring to the table is a spurious and inconsistent logic that is not even defensible. Shame!

Come to think of it, did you really mean it when you said that plate tectonics has nothing to do with the problem? How ignorant can you get? Gush! Fvck off mehn! D@mn you. I will never dignify you with any response again.

kobosmalls:

You forgot to say that god is love and that other annoying bland word "grace". Yep, a loving ego maniac drowns his children which he says he loves and people like you who are able to read and write still say that god is love and that its best to raise ur own kids in his ways. Well my dear if you are human enough you should know by now that nothing in the semblance of love has been done by u fictional creator. Where do I even start. His own sons blood must be shed to save you from himself. Are u really serious and u are proud to call urselves humans running around shouting blood of Jesus like its something to be proud of. I don't want to go into this Noah's story its really demeaning considering the shameful and laughable excuse or argument you decided to present as a point you. What a joke!

kobosmalls:

Did u consciously refuse to understand my argument? You said "overtime" right? How come no trace of their existence has been recorded or discovered across Europe or even around that region of turkey? Ask urself how the igbos left that region of towel of babel and yet no single Igbo tribe nor igbo language speaking people are found in at least small settlements around that region since ur dear holy and infallible bible claims that all languages evolved from that place. And my tribe magically ended up settling in the eastern part of Nigeria leaving no trace of its migration. Your religion deserves to be ridiculed including any of its adherents.
