Dinosaurs and Man

[Panglossian]

I highly doubt that it rests on Mt. Masis. Do you know how many animals that ship would have had to carry? How much the food would have been? There is no way Noah's little dingy could have supported two of each animal, his family and the food required to feed all of them.

Watch "The history and the facts about the Ark of Noah". It clearly gives mathematical equations about how many species were on the Ark (for some reason did he did not include insects, worms, etc. but nevertheless, there still would be plenty of room on board). The plant-eaters ate hay, grains, etc. The meat-eaters ate dried meat.

Well if we're going to go into history to prove Noah's Ark, it's worth mentioning the fact that the Euphrates river (Turkey, Syria, Iraq) floods every Spring/Summer. However - according to archaeologists - there was a great storm around 130bc that caused the river to flood much more severely than it usually does. It then burst its banks, overflowed the levis and started sweeping away entire villages, killing hundreds, maybe thousands of people. One survivor was a local Sumerian king called Ziusudra, who managed to find a commercial barge - loaded with livestock - and rode the flood downstream and into the Persian Gulf, where he ran aground.
The Noah's Ark story isn't supposed to be interpreted literally. It is a story of redemption and new beginnings, and to take it to heart is bordering on insanity; you cannot get 5million species onto a boat (well, 10million as it's two of each), then correctly establish isolated, sustainable habitats on-board so that the amphibians had water, the cats had taurine in their diet so they didn't go blind, all African animals had a hot environment, whilst Arctic/Antarctic animals had a cold environment etc etc. then correctly distribute them around the planet so that the marsupials were in Australia, pandas in China etc etc.
Also, how did Noah accomodate all the marine life? They wouldn't have survived in the sea after that amount of rainwater, so where did he put the blue whale? Or the whale shark? Or the Portugese man o'war? It seems god instructed him to save only the animals known to man at the time, and extended the life-span of a certain few who wouldn't last 40days.
If you genuinely believe all this happened, I suggest you seek mental help...fast.

EDIT: Damn, ace beat me to it
