Theists: Why do you love God?

[Ace Otana]

then i guess we agree reverendjeremiah except for the part where you think the flood didn't happen of course

The flood never happened.
I want to list some of the problems with the whole story.

1. The boat would never float because it'll be too big, wooden ships built at 355 ft were weak and suffered structural failer. The idea of one being at 450 ft is simply a disastrous idea.
2. Two of each animal would mean inbreeding which causes genetic disorders, fatal for the species. The very attempt to save the species would be futile.
3. Noah only had 7 days to build a 450ft ship (that cannot float) before the flood arrives. Also he has to gather the animals up which is also impossible, since most would rip him to shreds and they are far away.
4. The ship at 450ft would have to survive many days of rough water and being at it's size and weight would prove fatal.

Thing is, people who invented this story didn't know about the size limits of ships, nor did they know about genetics, nor were they aware of animals living in the Americas or Australia or Antarctica. Which is why Koalas among many other animals were never mentioned. People back then (like you) didn't know.
