Putting the animals on the arc is just one part of the story. I'd like to ask these douches where they think rain comes from. Last i checked rain is water vapor condensed into and then released by clouds. The water that falls from the sky is the same water that evaporated from the earth's surface. So how could it have rained enough to put MORE water on the earth's surface than there already was? One could make an argument for local flooding, since that's a fairly common thing. But global flooding? What, did god borrow the extra water from one of Saturn's moons? Why isn't this argument made more frequently? Am I missing something?

I have a better one for you.... the twits who believe this nonsense insist that the water covered every piece of land. This means that Mount Everest was under water!

Now let's do the math...

Mount Everest is approximately 29,000 feet high. In order for the water to cover Mount Everest, at least 29,001 feet of rain had to fall from the sky. According to their idiotic book, the rain fell for 40 days and 40 nights. So, 40 days adds up to 960 hours of rainfall. Now, for 29,001 feet of rain to fall in 960 hours, you would have a little over 30 FEET of rain falling EVERY HOUR! This translates to an inch of rain every TEN SECONDS! All over the world! That isn't rain, that's Niagara Falls coming down from the sky! For 40 straight days! "Rain" of this magnitude would have quickly turned anything made of wood into kindling!

If anyone would honestly look at the Noah's Ark fable with an open mind they could only conclude that the story is, at a minimum, heavily embellished and, at most, a complete myth.
