Hahaha. You are right. I never noticed it before.

I think the Ark was a story...no ship could hold all the creatures of the earth, especially the whales (and my sister-in-law) and fish. But it was a GOOD story, to teach a lesson.

There WERE huge floods at that time, shown on cave drawings in other parts of the world...must have been a very WET year.

If you're going to start "thinking" this or that part of the Bible is just a story, then you're going to be on very shaky ground indeed. How are you going to know what to believe?

All the creatures of the earth were not on the ark. Two of each were, and seven, I believe, of sacrificial animals (could be wrong there).

We tend to limit God, but if it was His will to save Noah's family and all of those animals, and it was, then it was perfectly possible. Think of it this way....the greatest miracle of all, His creation of the heavens and the earth, had already happened. From there, it's a small thing indeed to shut some animals up in a boat.

This is about the OTHER “ark,” the Ark of the Covenant, not Noah’s ark.

Wow, you got to be kidding! Why would the Noah's ark need to hold whales? They were surrounded by water. Perhaps you think Noah was a proto-Japanese? And the fish, yeah let's put fish on board and then we can dip buckets to fill all the aquariums we'll need. You're right, ark wasn't big enough. Probably ran out of gopher wood after the whales ate all the gophers. Catholic right?

You got the wrong Ark there Dude.

You think this is claiming that Noah's Ark just happened to land in Bethlehem and Mary and Joseph came out??

HAHAHA

You missed a few centuries.
