How did the animals know where to find Noah? Birds would alright possibly, but non-migrating animals?

The Great Flood
|
And how long was Noah willing to wait for them all to arrive? I mean, imagine how rushed a South American snail would feel, first of all trying to make it to the border and then hoping it could get a lift from a friendly bird.
And still, no-one has thought about the plant life. This would all die as well but no-one mentioned how they managed to survive being drowned by all that salty water.
The apologists have to use all kinds of get-outs, the plants survived as seeds bobbing on the water, the animals were miraculously supported by God so they wouldn't starve.
In fact they have to add in so many "God did it"s that it begs the question of why God bothered with the ark and the flood at all, he could have just clicked his fingers and disappeard all the wicked people. Would have been more merciful than drowning. Don't forget to remind the christers that also drowwned in the flood were infants and babies, crying in fear, clinging to their mothers as the water rose. God really is a bastard.
'How can you say, "We are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely? Jer 8:8

God really is a bastard. They have an excuse for this too. Apparently God made it impossible for these wicked people to have children so all the people who drowned were adults. Yeah, that justifies the death of billions of creatures.

Also, christians are big on the death bed repentance deal. ie: if Hitler was born again at the last minute he's in heaven.
Well when God told Noah to get building, he made no provision for anyone saying: "A flood you say? because we've been wicked? Shit! OK I'm with you, I repent and submit to YHWH" And Noah took some hundred years to knock this boat together. It means God knew there would be no repenters, so where Free Will?

EXACTLY! Like God living forever for example. That isn't in there. (August 28, 2008 at 6:30 am)Tiberius Wrote: When did you ever see the God of the Old Testament being merciful? That's news to me. Well he did spare Isaac's life when Abraham was about to sacrifice him on the alter, but you have to question if this is God being merciful considering he asked for Isaac's sacrifice in the first place. Yahweh is a sick, cruel, twisted and seriously f*cked up individual, and I challenge any christians to prove he was otherwise in the old testament.

When God ordered Saul to slaughter everyone to make room for the them to live he spared the king. God kicked him out and got someone else to do it. Oh yes, he's that merciful. |
