DESTROY NOAH'S ARK

[SteelCurtain]

It's like animal Tetris, and the amount of pure waste manure and sewage they would have produced in such tight quarters would simply have sealed in the freshness, and kept the animals from moving around too much.

Imagine god's fury when Noah left a hole in row 2. NOAH! You're doing it wrong!!!

[Fidel_Castronaut]

There are literally no reasons, be they scientific, philosophical, logical, or hell even theological, to believe that the flood was an actual event as described in the bible.

The story is absurd to the extreme, even for the bible.

[Bad Writer]

"I know it's ridiculous, but I swear I can flood the earth, kill everything except for a single family and a few animals, pack em all up on a large wooden boat, which is still too small for this task, and then make the water magically disappear as if the whole thing had never occurred!" -Yahweh

[max-greece]

I don't understand the problem. Its a simple enough story.

A 500 year old guy with no boat-building experience spends a hundred years constructing a wooden ship to hold 2 of every type of animal on the planet.

Somehow all of the animals get to the location and are loaded up - Noah was good at packing.

They spend a year on board - the ship holds up fine. They deal with the food and waste issues with no problem (Noah's family spent a lot of that year knee deep in shit).

They land on a mountain. Noah explains to the Koala's - good news, you made it, bad news - Oi vey do you have a shlep home.

All of this without leaving a trace of evidence in the geographical record, nor, come to that, in the genetic record of any species - oh and there is a bit of a problem as to where all the water a. came from and, b. went to.

Simple enough - its just magic what God did back then before he became agoraphobic and went into hiding about 2000 years ago.

What's not to believe?

Drippy, you're a dumb gullible fuck.

Instead, Huibers and his team built the boat by welding together the metal hulls of 25 barges into a single frame, which was then covered with Scandinavian pine.

Huibers initially wanted to sail his ark to London for the Olympics to share his message with sports fans. But he was forced to abandon his plan to sail across the North Sea after authorities raised safety issues.

Huibers may be a dickhead but at least he was smart enough not to put to sea in that absurd contraption.

Watching Drich defend the Noah's Ark story in utter seriousness is a like a watching a slow motion train wreck. God's willing to drown babies to show his support for one man's faith? And you people wonder why you are quickly losing your credibility on social issues and public policy (grown up stuff).

Are you blind or just foolish? We as a soceity grind up and dismember babies to perserve "a woman's right to choose." Yet all you can see is what God has done, or a perverse and wicked 'people.' (Not all were.) In your defence I guess it is pretty hard to see clearly with that plank sticking out of your own eye..

So in Drich's opinion, a 450' boat is more than large enough to hold 17.4 million animals.

Maybe look up the word logistics...

Again not a logistical tale. It is a story about faith. Noah on the word of God spent a life building this ark. It was God who save the world through this act, not noah nor the boat he built.

If God can feed 5000 men and their families with 5 loaves and 2 fish how is it then impossiable for him to save the planet from his own works to cleans it?

I'm not aware of any demonstrations involving babies and a coffee grinder. Either way, that's a non sequitur, and you're just upset how foolish you look defending an impossible story "because it makes you feel better" with all the "wicked people" coming to get you.

Hint: They're wearing white coats and have nets.

I love atheists.

While I was prefer abortions not happen unless the mother's life is in danger, there is a considerable difference between an embryo/fetus that hasn't developed a brain, and someone who has a life somewhere that may or may not be malicious towards their fellow human being. In your god's opinion, I am just as bad as Hitler, or possibly worse because at least he was religious. The opinions of a deity of this mindset have no more place in society than any other dictator who thinks he's above everyone else just because he can commit genocide when he is displeased.

Evidence that it ever happened?

No one is impressed by the bullshit in your fucking bible, drippy. If you had half a brain you'd know that by now.
