    Um, not really. Maybe some engineers, if they're bored.

    Do you think when Noah saw the Elephants he said "We're gonna need a bigger boat"?

    I wonder how many of the species that went on the Ark are extinct now.

    Gotta be like at least half. Some of them suckers were pretty big and mean, too.

    For starters, shouldn't we expect some compelling evidence that there was a global flood around the time specified by the Bible? Or that there were so few animals existing at that time on the planet, that two specimens of each could conceivably fit on a ship of the specified dimensions?

    I'm amazed how creationists can be skeptical in the face of overwhelming evidence for Evolution, and yet they can believe a story like Noah's Ark based on the flimsiest of evidence (it is written in a book).

    BTW, if a man in India claimed he could fly, what would it take you for you to actually believe it?

    Engineers don't get bored, they're too busy make the world a better place, but I thought about it. The answer is:

    A lot of water.

    I hope one of these wasn't on the Ark.

    1. Yes and yes.
    2. I'm amazed at that too. Since the Bible is really just a story written by man, believing everything in it verbatim is crazy. But crazier things have been said and done "in the name of god" than just building a boat for animals.
    3. This scenario is useless without pics.

    don't tell, but we keep one of those in our church to defend us against godless scientists and book-smart folx.

    Ugh, my ex girlfriend was an Aetodactylus.


    She was always biting my head off, and oral sex? Forget about it.

    Ah yes, the good ship Diversity.

    A marvelous vessel she was.

    Wouldn't the clever raptors find a way to get out of their cages and go to town on the rest of their shipmates?

    Or better yet, more than could've existed while leaving the surface as we know it today?

    BTW, the story of "Noah's Ark" was taken from the Babylonian story "The Epic of Gilgamesh."

    That's true. I'm not a literalist at all with respect to the OT...I don't really care whether this story "happened."

    But does the fact it's connected with Gilgamesh make it more or less credible in your view?

    God got rid of all the extra water. That's how He could promise that he wouldn't ever destroy the Earth with water again.
