I can see where the Noahs ark story is plausable..

If Adam and Eve only had sons....then the sons would of had to mate with.....their mum to produce offspring. A bit fucking weird isn't it? Also it's inbreeding, which can be fatal. It's genetic suicide.

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity. Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist. You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them. RE: Noah's Ark

As can I, an old kook rides out the river overflowing it's banks in his bathtub while clutching a pig, a chicken, and his favorite cow (which would be his wife..of course). Since he never left the farm, either before or after, that's the whole world to him..lol
@Ace, but they didn't have to do anything of the sort, we've taken the adam and eve story and ran with it as an origins, but that's not how it was first envisioned. It was only an origins story for a select group of people, with full knowledge that there were other people. These people were just special, gods favorite. It's ethnocentrism by cosmic mandate. The narrative also provided a vehicle for the "our way of life is better than their way of life" drama that plays out between Cain and Abel. We can actually see how these shepherds regarded agriculture very plainly both in the "first murder" narrative and earlier in the curse that was placed to have thorns pricking the farmers, and how terrible their "toil" would be going forward. It's social and political commentary, not, strictly speaking, origins.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
You know in Dr Who where the TARDIS is smaller on the outside than she is on the inside. That's the technology that Noah built into the ark. Its all in the bible. I'm currently building my own TARDIS.

Through science we know that noahs ark existed in the historical data of the old testament and that animals exist just like God does. Through faith we know that all of the worlds animals fit on the ark.

Easy. They put it in their fucking bible! Quote:In the first century CE, Caligula built two massive pleasure boats of massive size, shallow ,but very broad of beam.(the Nemi ships) Very true, and they were called the "Nemi ships" because they were built to sail (only) on Lake Nemi, not the open ocean. Italian archaeologists in the 1930's did recover the ships, deliberately sunk after Caligula's assassination, from the bottom of Lake Nemi. Quote:Prima nave We don't know how high they were and the specualtion is that the first "ship" was more a barge meant to be towed by the second which had oars. We do not know how high they were but again, they were on a small lake not the Med.
