See the dark night has come down on us
The world is livin’ in its dream
But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep
And set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way.
The time has come to trust that guiding light
And leavin’ all the rest behind
We’ll take the road that leads down to the waterside
And set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way.
And we’ll sail out on the water
Yes we’ll feel the sea grow
Yes we’ll meet out on the water
Where are all strangers are known.
If you travel blindly, if you fall
The truth is there to set you free
And when your heart can see just one thing in this life
We’ll set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way.
And we’ll sail out on the water
Yes we’ll feel the sea grow
Yes we’ll meet out on the water
Where are all strangers are known.
See the dark night has come down on us
The world is livin’ in its dream
But now we know that we can wake up from this sleep
And set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way.
And we’ll sail out on the water
Yes we’ll feel the sea grow
Yes we’ll meet out on the water
Where are all strangers are known. - Gerry Rafferty`s "The Ark"

yes and no.Yes I believe that Evolution is real (see the "True or False"

punish a sinful world, so just as He used His powers to
bring on the flood, He also used His powers to help out
the animals, who were not the main target of His wrath.For me, the story of Noah is my favorite. Not only is it a
story about human pride and stubbornness, as well as
human faith and perseverance. But I also see it as a
message of love and compassion towards animals. God
tells Noah to save all the animals, not just the cute ones,
or the edible ones, or the useful ones, but all the
animals, big and small. That to me is a message that we
humans should take care of animals, and not just those
that we find useful to us, and not hunt them to extinction.
So Moses lived in the Middle East...which as far as I could tell the last time I was there hasn't got equitorial jungles, polar ice regions or a lot of standing water areas. I'm also sure that Moses would surely been eaten trying to collect some of the more dangerous animals. And how long would it of taken him to collect all these animals?!?
