From here, it looks like you're so wedded to the idea of the big boat that you've decided to ignore literally every relevant fact about every relevant thing in order to maintain a belief that is simultaneously absurd and trivial.I could argue either side of the debate with equal vigor. As this story in the Bible does not have to play out as I perceive it in order for me to maintain my beliefs. In fact that is the reason I had answers for most of the questions asked. Is Because I question everything myself and try and find all the fatal flaws in everything. If I were presented with this story of eggs and baby mammals I have at least 6 points I could use to end this discussion with. and of those 6 points only one of you came close to broaching the subject, but did not follow through with.
That's what I mean from the outside looking in, it may 'seem.' As the general appearance looks like I am invested in something I am really not. I can do this because I am ok with not knowing for sure. If things work out the way I described great! if not that's ok too. as the Ark could have literally been a space ship fleeing from another planet or it dosent even have to be a boat at all. It could have been a series of caves that Noah (which could have been one man and his family or a whole civilization known as the noahans.) Again, none of this truly matters to me. It matter to you guys in that it could be what the Bible says. Which is where my interest lies. In demonstrating to you that it is logistically plausible. that as fantsiful as this may seem, that it is still plausible.

lol, does it really matter if someone accuses God of something or not? If you are strong enough you just tell your accuser to go pound sand.
why would God care what someone He did not like thought of Him?
