I certainly see it as a belief system that puts a lot of “faithâ€

Oh yeah meant to say thanks for the compliment lol....though I just know where to look for my answers


If I'm not mistaking, on the boat (Noah's Ark), Noah's sons brought their wives which could have attributed to less incest...just a thought outloud lol.

Another thought on the flood issue. There are some things we don't know.

1. Was the earth's continents still together? If so, you wouldn't have the mountains such as mount everest probably...or shall we say possibly. We don't know how big the mountains would have been.

2. You've also got the theory of the waters evaporating since that time, so we may have...less ocean water today than we did then.

3. Once again all the inhabitants would have been on the "one continent" so it'd be easy to wipe them all out lol.

4. I've heard of there being evidence for another layer of atmosphere in the earth's earlier years that may have attributed to the excessive rainfall it would take.

Found some other questions of interest as well:

If the Flood was local, why did Noah have to build an Ark? He could have walked to the other side of the mountains and missed it.


If the Flood was local, why did God send the animals to the Ark so they would escape death? There would have been other animals to reproduce that kind if these particular ones had died.


If the Flood was local, why was the Ark big enough to hold all kinds of land vertebrate animals that have ever existed? If only Mesopotamian animals were aboard, the Ark could have been much smaller.

If the Flood was local, why would birds have been sent on board? These could simply have winged across to a nearby mountain range.

If the Flood was local, how could the waters rise to 15 cubits (8 meters) above the mountains (Genesis 7:20)? Water seeks its own level. It couldn’t rise to cover the local mountains while leaving the rest of the world untouched.

If the Flood was local, people who did not happen to be living in the vicinity would not be affected by it. They would have escaped God’s judgment on sin. If this happened, what did Christ mean when He likened the coming judgment of all men to the judgment of ‘all’ men (Matthew 24:37–39) in the days of Noah? A partial judgment in Noah’s day means a partial judgment to come.


Just thought these thoughts were interesting

I wanna know why there are no traces of an ark the size of a zoo/.

Yes I know lol that's one of the many questions. I've heard it could have been the younger animals, then the fact there weren't as many different species as we have now, etc. etc.

Just doing a lil search I come up with these 3 articles, all of which I find quite interesting.



AnswersinGenesis is a Christian site that poses it's "why's, how's, when's, what's, and where's" to todays non-creationists arguments. I just started looking at the site yesterday and I do find it interesting...I won't say however that agree with every word of it...cuz I haven't read much of it lol. But from what I have seen there is some good logic about some of the questions raised here.



A non-creationist view of things, and in this article he, Morton, debates the things Woodmorappe’s book and explanations bring forth about the feasibility study of Noah's Ark and the animals contained in it. Then at the end, Morton supplies a link to Woodmorappe’s reply to Morton's reply lol:




I do say, you'll find all 3 of these pages rather interesting if you're really interested in this debate lol. I think all 3 are put forth very nicely and could really answer some of the questions raised about the ark. They really aren't that long of articles to read.

kind of back to the incest thing... i'm not so sure about the adam and eve story, but i thought god created adam and eve, that makes everyone else brother and sister?

16000 animals or 8000 pairs of animals on a boat......and you believe that. Man, I have never heard such BS in all my life that so many people believe. If anyone claimed anything even close to this today, they would be laughed at and put in a padded room. Sloped floors, animals trained to feed themselves food that they don't even eat and that they let themselves in and out of their cages. This is a prime example of why the bible is just an old story book.

Rember that not to long ago we thought everything revolved around the Earth and that the Earth was flat and just dropped off into no where. Learn for the science of today and the mistakes of yesterday.



Maby all that incest made the world as fucked up as it is today.

well the first generations would be brother and sister then cousins...then......you get the point...


Kinda reminds me of JOE DIRT, your my sister your my sister...LOL

Did you even read the 3rd page in which it was explained about the animals not "trained" like Morton has said? Or, on the first page, how about the actual scale at which the Ark was built and the amount of space the animals would have actually took up...to which Morton actually thought was a very good explanation, so much so he didn't refute the room needed again, but instead focused on the "impossibility" of taking care of all those animals

Looking back at the links, it definitely appears you only read the "secular" page, because answersingenesis.org doesn't mention the "trained" part and the 3rd page, Woodmorappe’s reply to Morton's assertions says, "I did mention such training as a POSSIBILITY, but in no sense did Ark waste management depend upon this."

You keep believing the Bible's just old stories...even though the historical events have been found to be accurate...which leaves nothing but the "God" part to be questioned. Which brings up an interesting question, why would the writers of each of the books go into such detail of everything, and we've found the historical events to be true, yet lie/fabricate/dream up the "God" parts?


Btw I'm not trying to convince you to believe as I do, nor have I made jokes about your beliefs. We all believe the earth and people came into being somehow. We all believe it happened that the earth came from "nothing" so to speak. That people came into being from "nothing" so to speak. You believe it's by chance we just came to be, and I give God the credit for everything, cuz I believe that most of the science has shown to prove there has to be a Creator for us to have everything neccessary to live, and yet just be on the brink of the razor's edge. The human eye alone has thousands of interesting things about it that makes it work that to me points to a God who made it the way it is.

We all have a faith, it's just placed in/on different things. The Christian faith has been tested and tested and tested, especially by those who want to disprove God, yet no one has disproved Him...or ever will . Science continues to evolve. Continues to change, continues to theorize, continues to change it's own rules. Yet I believe the two, as many scientist belive, can coincide with each other. I believe they compliment each other very well. As I've stated, I believe science has done nothing but reveal God's workmanship.

You know Muslims, Jews, and Christians alike, all believe in Noah's flood? And looking on wiki ( ) there are even a few other "non-major" religions that believe the "story". Some believe there were up to 78 (Islam) people on board, yet that all the descendants were from Noah's family only. So, you realize the believers of this "story" make up the vast majority of this world's inhabitants?

Well then the vast majority of the world are f$#King idiots. Logic prevails in all of this and I'm done replying to this post.
