I was reading one of those Christian Answers sites the other day and they were theorizing that God placed all the animals in suspended animation so they could be easily stacked and packed into the ark. Makes about as much sense as Al Gore’s belief the earth has some ideal climate that would never change if not for SUVs and plastic grocery bags.

I'm a little shaky on my Noah story, but it's my understanding that god was pissed at humans and wanted to get rid of all of them except Noah and his family. If that's the case, rather than having a big storm, why no just "blink" them into nonexistence, kind of like Jeanie?

God placed all the animals in suspended animation ................ God could have shrunk them to amoeba size. If he left them the normal size he'd need an Ark the size of Manhattan to carry all the species. My big question is who was doing all the shoveling on the Ark? It has to be a 24/7 job otherwise they'd be buried in ....., you get the idea. Besides, did he forget the Chinese who were most likely around at that time? Oh, right, that was a different other God's responsibility.
