How ridiculous is this?

Noah's Ark. I mean, you have to laugh out loud at how we've in a sense taken possession of all the animals, how we anthropomorphized them by this absurd myth. Honestly, humans are the most bigoted creatures on earth, no one else would be that arrogant and false sense of superiority to animals that we have to make up a way of saving them all.

You think that's funny, there's a 'Creation Museum' in Kentucky

 

Uhm, who is the "no one else" that you are referring to?

 

The bigger question is why do you care?

 

It's funny and shows something about us, maybe how dumb we are/were

 

Funny how the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami killed mostly humans and the animals saved themselves...

It's funny until they start trying to cram these lies and myths down children's throats in public school systems as "facts." Then we instantly transition from "funny" to "terrorizing."

 

Get ready to laugh.

Today we have to save them all... from ourselves

 

If the story of Noah's Ark never existed- I would have missed out on one really awesome toy that I used to have...
But anyhoo, it is a bit of a stretch...And humans are the only animals who aren't smart enough to save them(our)selves in the time of a natural disaster. As said before, that tsunami is a perfect example; all the nonhuman animals took refuge-many even saving humans, while the humans carried on in blissful ignorance.

 

Yes there is quite an extreme contrast there:

Natural flood - animals save themselves, man perishes
God-made flood - man saves animals and himself

I mean, how out of touch with reality is that? Animals are by far the better creatures, they don't have to create stories to adjust their perception of themselves.

 

Careful, there are people who think humans aren't animals.

 

There's nothing ridiculous about it at all, I did this same thing last week and called it DMOB's ark.

 

Some interesting points to consider about the alleged ark:
1. Each pair of animals would have had to carry between them all viruses and bacteria which afflict their species which must live in a host.
2. They would have to have brought marine animals on board as well, because if the flood was salt water it would kill most freshwater life, and if it was fresh water it would kill most salt water life.
3. If we use the very conservative estimate of one million living species, and if we assume that the ark was about 55,000 cubic meters of internal volume (McGowan 1984:55) this gives us 0.0367 cubic meters per species, and this assumes that every inch of internal volume is devoted to the animals with no room for divisions within the ship, or barrels for provisions, and that the animals are stacked on top of each other. Many scientists believe the actual number of living species to be closer to four million.

Of course there are many more problems (like the conflicting accounts of the flood in the bible: was it 2 of every kind or 7 pairs of the clean?) but there is no point in beating a fossilized horse.

 

Eman

Lets just say its fitting a room full of stuff in a matchbox

The flood is idiocy
The world could not be inundated


Creationism is the most amazing laughable crap the peasants ever embraced

Hitler was attributed with the line
'the greater the lie the more likely it will be be believed'

He stole that line from the church
'Creationism is the lie that makes anti semantism and white power a small weak farce'
It is is the daddy of all lies.

Thats why it is acepted by so many.. because so many have no idea whatsoever

 

Truly a divine comedy

If animals knew how to subjugate humans they would.

 

Seriously....I dont think we are supposed to take the bible literally. A lot of it is a metaphor and used simply to illistrate points and teach morals. I am not a religious person but I can see that the bible is by no means biographical.

 

Well I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'biographical', but when I read the bible it seems to me to be written in such a way that the author's meant it to be taken literally. Especially when you get to parts along the lines of "...and these are the generations of so and so...(followed by lists of people and who they begat)" What metaphor or moral can be drawn from that? Seems like it was intended to be a historical document.

 

I like the part where they ALL Come out as meat eaters too roflmao,
Like there wasnt enough peanuts on board to remain vegetarians ..

loada crap..
