The real question is whose boat was bigger?

Noah's, by far.

[RedRightReturn]

I wonder how many funny looks that comment will engender...

[mikeus_maximus]

A) the Gilgamesh story is significantly different;

B) Almost every ancient culture on every continent had a universal flood story;

C) The Genesis version was from oral history that predated them all.

Dig a little.

[mikeus_maximus]

Bogus question. That's not the biblical claim- it said two of every "kind".

[Michael_Michaelangelo]

Could Noah's Ark really hold all the animals that were supposed to be preserved from Flood?

[ivyleaguebrat]

If noah only saved two of every kind, speciation would have to have occured through macroevolution.

[Tallguy]

Would a modern aircraft carrier be large enough to hold two of every species of animal on the Earth?

Yeah but the elephants keep crapping on the catapults & screwing up air ops.

[Casekirchen]

Why doesn't someone just walk (climb, ski, whatever) over there & take a look?

[immigration lady]

just how many animals were there on the earth at the time of Noah??? At least, how many that he knew of and had access to?

But of course, we all know that all species came from some other species which in the end was born of a single celled critter so - yeah - Noah could have carried two of all critters on his big boat. Two single celled critters multiplied and boom - all the animals of the world were thus born over the course of the next 2000 years (but back then, their days were like a month or something like that to our year), so...

[TASMANIANRED]

Wouldn't that shake up a few folks.

Not true, my friend: http://www.trueorigin.org/arkdefen.asp

a key question: If a boat were truly that huge, would it float?

A person that question occurs to might see almost anything in satellite images.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

This is by far one of the pictures that makes me laugh every time I see it. Yours got me laughing just thinking about it.

>>>Yeah but the elephants keep crapping on the catapults & screwing up air ops.

Wonder who had the job of cleaning out the Brontosaurus stall?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

If noah only saved two of every kind,

That is actually an incorrect statement. He only took two of each unclean animal. He took more of the clean animals, otherwise when he landed, built an alter and started sacrificing to God, he would have made the most wanted list of PETA in his first act.

[rwfromkansas]

know the guy's name?

[rwfromkansas]

Gilgamesh is a pretty cool story, but it is not the Word of God.

[rwfromkansas]

sure looks like a natural formation to me.

Can't remember believe it we Mark Larsen on KOGO 600 out of San Diego that did the interview. Him or Hugh Hewett at 870 in S.Cal.
