The Bible

[boba]

boba, there were a lot more than eight

the biggest issue is the time frame that a jewish rabbi came up with, there would be no way for it to have happened at that date.

i believe it all happened much earlier than many think

More then 8 people in the ark? Or did you think I meant 8 animals?There was somewhere around 16,000 animals in the ark. I'm not sure about the date as I haven't studied it. I'll have to study some on it.

Catching them wasn't hard, but if you don't believe in miracles you can't believe anything in the Bible.

Many arguments against them being able to feed-water the animals that I have read are flawed. First they base the time off only one person caring for them, not 8. All of them base there arguments that each animal was individually cared for and they didn't have a system to mass feed - water them.



I see what your saying, but at some point all theories have to have something that we don't see actually happening.

well I don't believe in miracles so that's going to be an issue. Catching thousands of animals and insects all over the world (even if this was before the continental divide) would be rather difficult today with all of the technological advancements that wouldn't have been available back then. To simply say it would be easy just doesn't float for me.

I wouldn't think the scenario would be where every animal would be housed separately like in a zoo, but there are a lot of animals that would have to be self contained or they'd eat all of the herbivores or fight the other predators.

yes sir, more than 8 people in the ark

I'm sure God helped in the bolded part, but like I said that would be a miracle.

I'm sure most of the different species were separate, what I'm saying is that they could have piped drinking water into troughs and such to make it easier.

What isn't possible about it?

to carry 2 of every species and breed of animal in the world ? On an Ark?

the shear numbers would be over whelming!

[boba]

Hmm, I have heard something about that but never looked into it. I'm interested, would you explain?

About 16,000 animals.

All I'm saying is these theories are just as unbelievable, if not more, then most of what the tribal indians would think.

How are they unbelievable?

Thousands of hours have been amassed over many years to support them yet they are unbelievable?

We are to take 1 document and believe it to the entire truth ?

Edit: this is close the same case as a flat earth...which was not 100% ended until we took that little trip to the moon in 1969

Just because people spent time on them doesn't mean they are more believable.

About 16,000 animals.

so you believe at the time the ark was built that were only 16,000 species in the world?

Sorry I just cant believe that

[MadMan1978]

Just because people spent time on them doesn't mean they are more believable.

well so is the thought of creationism in my opinion...that would mean that we have existed for what a few thousand years?

that is not believable!
