@Bolded part...

That's actually one of the theories of how religions came to be.

Every person would interpret things the way their mind can understand it. It doesn't make it a universal principle.

Have you wondered why the Jewish God's character is so much like a jewish person?

He only loves Jews, punished Jews, cared for the jews until 30BC?

Common, just think.

If a God can give you brain use it to its full capacity.

And right now, I have more convictions that Yahweh can't be an omnipotent being. As a matter of fact, it wasn't real. Just like every other god all over world, Yahweh was just someone's way of making sense of event beyond his understanding at the time.

How else do you expect primitive men to explain how the rains came to be, or the sun, moon, sea, thunder etc. The Yorubas have a claim to knowing a God of thunder. The absence of written records makes our African Traditional religious posits seem inferior.

Stop lying to your own intellect. Religion strongly holds on to fear and mere beliefs as authenticity. You can prove "jack". The convictions you think are genuine, doesn't really hold water.

You only know what you know. You can believe whatever you think makes sense in the absence of knowledge.
you 'were' a christian, right?

According to Christians all of the  living creatures were brought into existence in the same initial creation week. (six days). This would include the Dinosaurs. Now can Christians tell me how can enormous animals like Dinosaurs, Mammoths, Tyrannosaurus etc , , who weighed more than thirty tons entered inside Noah's Ark.? shocked

Majority of us must have read how Noah built his Ark and housed all the animals. But somethings about the Noah story doesn't add up and I would need better clarification

My questions now are;
1. How did he get the sharks, dolphins and whales on a ship with no water to live in?
2. how did he get kangroos, koalas and such to come across the seas to the middle east?

No bashing or insults Pls cool

"Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will come to you, to keep them alive" (Genesis 6:20).

God told Noah to only take in land airborne and terrestrial creatures into the Ark and the world map we have today is not the same as it was before the Flood, was different. If you follow the Genesis account it is most likely that the world was only one continent.

Am not saying fishes bro. I mean 2 whales, 2 sharks, 2 dolphins.... Do you know how big whales are?? How did he transport them from their habitat to the Ark?

Secondly, concerning the polar bears & penguins, how did they transport themselves??

Hope you are clear with the questions ABI.? (someone asked above, how did the parasites also enter the Ark because if you are a microbiologist, you will understand some are obligate intracellular)....

Parasites in the Ark.

Our ideology of years started with the gregorian 12 month calendar, the Chinese calendar is a totally different thing. What time frame constituted a year in the abrahamic era might be different from the noah era and adamic era, and is certainly different from the messaic era, which in turn is different from the gregorian era.
this makes a little sense, but it has not yet explain how those animals were transferred to the ark

nope, the fact they can explain their points set them aside, I'm a Christian but i find i find it hard to believe some things in Christiandom, but atheist use science to prove 87% of their arguments.....

Try to answer this question, what is the difference between the world and your world.

The Bible was written under inspiration from the Holy Spirit, the authors of the bible wrote within their limited environment. Also don't forget in translation of the bible, a lot was lost in translation as language is cultural.
The story might be for historical purpose or as a spiritual booster, I dont know, bit given the time frame for the preparation for the flood, there arw some possibilities.

It is clear from the Scriptures that aquatic creatures were not invited to the party. cool

Are polar bears aquatic creatures? Do you think Sharks and Whales are terrestrial creatures? Penguins and amphibious creatures could have survived in enough numbers outside Noah's Ark. God only commanded the air-breathing, land-dwelling animals, creeping things and winged animals such as birds to enter the Ark. Aquatic life such as Sharks and Whales did not need to be on board. cool

Re: Noah's Ark And The Animals - My Question by ezybaba(m): 3:14pm On Mar 30, 2017
First, it is necessary to note that Noah was not told to gather the animals. He was commanded only to build the Ark, large enough for all the animals, and simply receive the animals when they arrived. "And of every living thing of all flesh, . . . two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive" (Genesis 6:19-20 ).

since you are so inquisitive......what value will this add to your life .......i am a christian but don't give a dame about Noah's Ark.....the story is to teach you that what is impossible with man is possible with God.

God did it and not Noah......God Can still keep every being and animal on planet earth in one room if He so will.

NO ark.....There is Ark.........how does this solve our current Challenges facing us as a people.

If you wish to know so much about what Noah did and what he did not do.....why don't you ask God to further clear the Air for as you have ask.....
