If everything has a purpose then evil doesn't exist

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

It seems that if you're going to take the Ark story as literal truth, then you are constrained to follow a literal reading of that story:


It says the creatures entered the Ark. It doesn't say that Noah put embryos into the Ark, or that he built incubators. Not a word about eggs.

As an aside, it says a pair of 'everything with wings'. Nearly two million insects on a boat that size would have make the Ark unlivable.

Kinda answered this with mr agenda:

So.. let's say god sent Noah live birds and or reptiles.. and 1 chicken lays a few dozen eggs.. Noah sees this chicken that takes up/Needs say 2 cubic feet to live... but the dozen or so eggs it laid in the last week early takes up 1/2 a cubic foot. which one do you think someone responsible for getting 7 pairs of clean animals and 2 pairs of unclean animals on a limited food and space hand built wooden ship?


Not not say every animal needed to be an egg or baby. just the big ones, the dangerous ones or the ones who eat non stop. Why wouldn't someone do this? If Elon makes it to mars and the goal is to colonize the planet do you think he is sending live chickens who need a whole host od support to keep live? or a few dozen trays of fertile eggs in stasis where He could choose the time and place to incubate the eggs?

If a 4 year old could make this call (as to which passenger chicken or egg is more efficient to transport) Why is it your opinion the man who built a boat big enough to save creation would be too stew-pid to have the spacial reasoning of a current 4 year old?

‘Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark.’

Spin it however you like. Even the most cursory reading precludes eggs or baby animals. The story isn’t meant to be taken literally (it’s an allegory about the wages of sin), so arguing the it was an historic event makes you look - no offense - like an idiot.
