“So it is a nice little fantasy tale, and a valuable bible Parable, but people who really think Noah saved the world’s land animal population by putting them ALL in a boat for 40 days, need a severe reality check on reality.”

You don't have a terribly high opinion of the Power of the Author of Time. Whats more you limit God to the degree of your own understanding and your own imagination. “Reality”? Who is the author of your “reality”, you or God?

Noah only had to do what God told him to do. Noah, like the rest of us, didn't have anything near the whole picture. You don't think the Author of All Things and Time itself couldn't possibly have gotten into one place everything necessary to what ever His ends were?

The story of Noah being true would place no strain on the God of the Bible like the strain of Creating Man and encoding him in his entirety in a piece of biological matter not even visible to the naked eye and containing tens of thousands of links in it's makeup yet you doubt this God's very Word because YOU can't imagine a particular and relatively small element of His Story?

Once you doubt an element of the Almighty you doubt The Almighty. Once you doubt His Word you lower Him to the level of a man. The Bible contains ONLY what God wanted it to contain. The Bible tells the ABSOLUTE Truth. What's so hard about that? God does not ask that you understand Him. He only asks that you have Faith in Him.

Don’t bother him, his god fits in his navel.
