Could Noah's Ark Have Happened Realistically? Well, Yes.

A lot of you are disregarding the fact that God could've put the animals in a hibernating state so they didn't need to eat much, and God could've prevented the animals from eating each other.

Except it never says that. You can't just add things to scripture that aren't there.

You DO realize that only specific animals can hibernate due to their anatomy, right? Even hibernating, most animals would starve.

I think once we reach the point of the argument where it boils down to "but god could have made it happen" then we're pretty much done.

Hrm. Wrapped this one up on the first page. Not bad.

Then why didn't he just give them all gills?

The bible says that the water covered the highest mountains, so it would be higher then 20 000 feet above sea level, killing all reptiles due to cold and killing everything else due to lack of oxygen

Well, it'll take more than the "scientific burden of evidence" to hurt my faith.

And that's a part of the reason no one here takes you seriously. A very small part.

It didn't have to mention that. The animals just walked by themselves. That pretty much says it there.

I think he's talking about some type of divine stasis.

Don't say that. This is fun.

No-one's making you read it. By posting, you're only pushing it to the top of the page again.

The fact that four posts appeared in the two minutes following my post suggests that my direct contribution to the longevity of the thread is rather minimal. But maybe it will stop some people from bothering to engage in an extended argument, which is what threads live on.

Please, tell me how Noah traveled near and far to collect every plant, animal, arthropod, and microorganism there was?

Wait...

You mean stuff in science fiction, only with magic? Yeah, OP be trolling.

According to the Bible, how big was the Ark?

By killing them by starvation? Yeah, sounds legit.

Indeed. The original argument is predicated on "well, the marine life could have just stayed in the water". At levels with sufficient oxygen for them to survive they'd be crushed like a bug.

Goalpost hath been moved. How much more before we are done. Also it was brought up that after they got on land lions would have killed a lot of animals. Also Kangaroo's how do you do that thing you do in Australasia. Air would have been filled with water after flood, Genetic Bottle-necking, Poo problems, Fish problem.

OK guys, poll time. Poe, or just really dumb?

God could've made them not starve until they got back to their homes. How do you know that God doesn't have that power? You underestimate God's power.

What did they all eat when they got off the ark? Flood kills vegetation=herbivores die=carnivores die=no life. This is obviously wrong, which makes me question the whole premise of the flood.

We're not talking about how he got the animals there. By the way, did the Ark carry marine animals? If not, how did they survive the combination of sea and fresh water the flood would have created?

How do you know the flood would kill vegetation? Vegetation can survive underwater.

Yeah I'm going with Poe. You shot your load kid.

We're done here.
