There's no way he's going to fit 2 of every species in there.

I wouldn't want to look inside because the smell will be dreadful. Shocked

Just think about all the insects he would have to collect. The whole thing is bollocks quite frankly.

There's a reason why some of us don't take the book of Genesis literally!

There is evidence that suggests a great flood did take place in the cradle of civilization, where Noah would have lived, but how do we interpret what it says about animals? I don't know. In some Bible illustrations, you see drawings of Noah with giraffes and elephants, but was that really the case? Perhaps he took animals from that region?

I've never been one for taking the Bible literally. For me to believe the Earth was created in 7 days is just too much. No, it wouldn't be possible to cram the Ark full of the entire planet's animals. I'm afraid no believer in the Judao-Christian God could ever be confident how much is borrowed from other religions and what they should believe, especially from the Old Testament. As many have said, the texts were put together by man, and not necessarily commissioned by God.

The problem with Noah's myth is not only one of size (which has to include the place, not only for animals, but also place to store food for forty days or more), but also a problem of environment for the animals. Clearly you can't have a polar bear and an elephant in the same conditions. Not to mention fishes and other animals living in water - salty or not?

i think we can safely say that the future holland will possibly need a lot of these-the only part of holland not to be flooded is hte far far south, if the sea rises.
