Noah's Ark?

Weren't as many animals then. Many of the animals around today have come from crossbreading. For example... look at all the different breeds of dogs there are.

6. The geography of the world was drastically different at that time.

I'll take a stab at answering your questions.

1. Times change...and they also didn't have a Wendys or Mcdonalds around every corner back then.
2. By the grace of God??? How the heck are we supposed to know that?
3. I've never said that. How should I know? God instructed him on how to build... we don't have the exact blueprints. Also; for questions 3 and 2 you have to consider that back then people weren't as stupid as we think. Many ancient civilizations had quite advanced technology for their time.
4. Weren't as many animals then. Many of the animals around today have come from crossbreading. For example... look at all the different breeds of dogs there are.
5. Answer for number 4
6. The geography of the world was drastically different at that time.
7. They could throw the exrement overboard(and no I don't mean Feceman)
8. Windows
9. Fewer animals then...they didn't really navigate...they just floated around.
10. If God brought the animals to the ark two-by-two I think he could keep them from killing each other for a while.

So, are you saying that you take the story of the flood literally?

Echuu....didn't you read about Noahs wife on the previous page... 😂 Where did Noah put the fire ants?

No, don't run and hide. I'm not going to attempt to convince you of anything. That's a total up-hill battle that I can't win. Anyone who would actually believe that story has far too many problems for me to address.

Well in my opinion truth comes from revalation...if you aren't open to a revelation you won't see the truth... open mindedness is the key.

I am definitely open minded. In studies I have done this ark thing makes sense for me and you are just going to have to respect that but I am completely open to anything you would like to say.

So what are my problems now?

I don't HAVE to respect anything you say or believe.

As for your problems, I would think they have something to do with your belief that santa claus ordered this simple drunk to march two of every species on earth into a big boat, so he cold wipe out every living thing, save those on the ark, off the face of the earth.

If you believe that the ark story is true, then you likely don't believe that the earth is more than 6 thousand years old either. So, you've got bigger problems than I can address.

lol! No of course you don't HAVE to but it's good for people to repect other peoples beliefs. After all, what it is you guys accuse Christians of again??? Bigotry and hatred?? I think that's it.

I never said the earth was or wasn't more than 6,000 years old so don't lump me into some group please. You seem to lack the openmindedness to consider that I am openminded!!!!!!

Well, I think some Catholics think the world is older...OH, I don't know...there are so many denominations...all with differnt views now..But most churches teach that the earth is 6000 years old and on the 7000 year, then we will have a new earth...Cause they say gods number is 7.

It is good. I think my silence in regards to your beliefs is the most respectful thing I can do.

So, you take the Noah story literally, but not the age of the earth. Okay...so how old do you think the earth is? Closed-minded? I never said you were one way or the other.

It's not silence when you come on and say 'You've got bigger problems than I can address.'

No... I have come to the conclusion that the story of Noah is valid and true. I have not come to a definite conclusion as to exactly how old the earth is because various passages of the bible can be interpreted different ways.
I think that generally I would like to slant in favor of it being around 6,000 years old but I have not come to a definite conclusion yet.

debbiejo... I would say that thing about 7000 is almost as silly as the Seventh Day Adventists predicting the end of the earth numerous times.

OOPS!!!!! I think it was last Tuesday!!! Looks like we better have the ushers bump it up to next Friday on the newsletter!!! 😆

Okay...we can get into it.

Tell me what it is about the noah story that lends some measure of legitimacy to it, for you.
