Noahs ark and the food chain

Once you begin to view these fictitious stories/events as real you begin to loose your grip on reality and any sense of logic.

The more you ponder over this story the more questions you'll have. None of the answers given will make much sense. Asking a creationist to supply the answers is an exercise in futility. It leads one down the path of circular logic and faulty reasoning. Surly you can find something more contructive to do with your time than "beating a dead horse"....:sad:

Thanks for your concern but I do not require you or anyone else to worry about how I spend my time or my productivity rate.

Sorry, but those canines look awfully carnivorous to me; I'd guess the life expectancy of the basket-bearing bunny to be 30-40 milliseconds. At most.

Any thoughts on beetle kind yet? Four hundred thousand species and counting. So, how many beetle kinds did Noah have on the ark? Just the one pair? They'd have their work cut out, engendering 400,000 descendant species in a few hundred years. One pair of Polyphaga, one of Adephaga, perhaps? Or was there a staphylinid kind, a weevil kind, a coccinelid kind? The 'creation scientists' we keep hearing about must surely have worked this out by now: where can we look up their findings?

Those items are being looked at by scientists, I will have to wait on the report.

They've been working on it for over 150 years... you would think they would have a hypothesis at least by now.

Please...don't flatter yourself.....I'm truly not "worried" about you.

I was simply responding to your question. It is a question met with circular reasoning. The question in itself is nothing new and has been circulating around RF for quite some time (see here: http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/science-vs-religion/80788-noahs-ark.html). Your questions are answered there ad nauseum.....;)

The day "creation scientists" come up with a definition of "kind" that isn't word salad gobbledygook is the day I start thinking of them as serious about science.

Has any of you guys played any of the Fallout games? Well after a flood of that power and magnitude, it would look like the Wasteland from Fallout 3. Mostly dead trees, a couple shrubs, and lots of dead things.

Right...


Where are all the bodies of people and animals?....

Nowhere because the event never happened.

my question is how was all the waste handled? if you remember there was only about a 2ft squrae window in the top of the ark. ventilation would have been very minimal, especially in the lower deck.

and what about light. where would the fumes from the lamps go?

man, i bet the stinch was terrible

Somebody misinformed? Genesis 6:16 "Leave an 18-inch opening below the roof all the way around the boat."

GEN 6:16
A awindow shalt thou make to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it.

there was only one window in the top. the latter part of this scripture pertains to "doors" which were sealed shut after the ark was boarded.

i think that YOU have been misinformed.

How would 2 of every animal fit on a boat that's 450 feet long 175 ft wide and 40 ft tall? Doesn't seem physically possible at all.

It wasn't two of every animal, it was every family of animals or kind of animals. There were no dogs or cats on the ark, just their predecesors, the kind of animal that dogs and cats came from. There are many different bear species but only one pair of bear representatives were needed on the ark, same with deer and horses etc...

Interesting; so you view evolution as a fact as well?

Wait... so you're telling us that dogs and cats evolved from a common ancestor no more than 6,000 years ago? Same for all living bear species? Same for deer and horses?

You do realize that deer and horses aren't even in the same taxonomic order, right? Deer are Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates), while horses are Perissodactyla (odd-toed ungulates). Evolutionarily speaking, horses are closer to rhinoceroses than they are to deer, and deer are closer to warthogs and hippos than they are to horses.
