Quote:"Point out that to get two of each kind of animal from every part of the world may not be so unbelievable because of the size of the world at the time. The theory of Pangaea (which basically states that the continents were all connected forming one big "supercontinent") is probably true. Before Noah's flood, all of the land masses on earth were all joined to form one continent. This would eliminate the idea that animals would have to cross oceans to reach the ark."
Even better is their parting advice...
Quote:Point out that doubting God's word shows a lack of faith. While He may not have left much proof of the flood on earth, this is no reason to turn our backs on God and doubt the one thing which is The Truth.
Translation: Just don't think about it too hard, and submit your intellectual curiosity to whatever the bible spews as truth.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
