    @JC:

    how long did it take Noah to round up all the animals? did he have a staff of animal catchers? did he leave them to drown once he had used them for the task?

    How long did it take him to build the super-zoo/holding pen for all the animals while he completed the task of rounding up the animals?

    how did he capture all the birds? How did he locate all subterranean animals and insects? How did he transport them? How did he save all freshwater fish, did he have an aquarium for them?

    how long did it take him (or his staff) to locate and trap two of each polar animal?

    How many surplus animals were trapped and transported to allow for fatalities during transportation?

    what happened to the infant animals that were a result of the breeding pairs being locked up during the rounding up years?

    how was all the perishable food stuffs preserved during the years/decades it took to round up all the animals?

    Who built the ark while all this was happening and how long did it take to complete? How did the test the ark was sea-worthy?

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    Jesus, I'm arguing with a guy who gave a link earlier as "proof" that showed us how Noah kept dinosaurs on the arc!

    This part is wrong, Noah built two arks, one for regular animals and one for dinosaurs, then God sent Noah a message to kill the dinosaurs because he foresaw events similar to the Jurassic Park storyline, Noah built a Howitzer to sink the dinosaurs' ark. It's vividly described in this picture

    ... all the freshwater rain may have contributed to their survival!!!:)
    Many also didn't survive ... and are found as fossils, as a result.

    how did the water become fresh/ remain fresh when mixed with the worlds oceans?

    The animals came of their own accord apparently directed by God to do so.

    How long did it take him to build the super-zoo/holding pen for all the animals while he completed the task of rounding up the animals?
    It took Noah less than 100 years to build the Ark. He was 500 years old when God named him in Gen 5:32 and Noah was 600 years old when the flood of waters came upon the earth. Gen7:6.

    how did he capture all the birds? How did he locate all subterranean animals and insects? How did he transport them? How did he save all freshwater fish, did he have an aquarium for them?
    The birds came of their own accord apparently directed by God to do so. The insects didn't come ... and survived on flotsom ... and the freshwater fish likely survived in rainwater pools


    how long did it take him (or his staff) to locate and trap two of each polar animal?
    There were no 'polar' or 'tropical' animals at that time as the temperature variations were minimal over the Earth at the time before the Flood due to atmospheric 'greenhouse' conditions at the time that increased the temperature at the poles and reduced it at the equator.

    How many surplus animals were trapped and transported to allow for fatalities during transportation?
    The only allowance was with the 'clean' animals ... where 7 pairs came on board.

    what happened to the infant animals that were a result of the breeding pairs being locked up during the rounding up years?
    It didn't arise as there were no 'rounding up' years ... they all arrived spontaneously in the days before the Flood.

    how was all the perishable food stuffs preserved during the years/decades it took to round up all the animals?

    Noah and other people under his direction built the Ark in less than 100 years ... possibly a lot faster.

    The shallow waters over the higher submerged landmasses were probably almost pure rainwater and 'layering' of waters of different salinities would also have occurred. Because salt water is denser than freshwater, layers of different salinities can occur resulting in stratification of the water column and this also impedes mixing.

    The animals just showed up.
    a 500 year old man spent 100 years building a boat.
    There were no polar regions!?!
    insects didn't go on the ark and survived on flotsam? Even bees for example?
    There was no problem storing perishable foods for the animals because you say so.
    There were somehow self-contained freshwater pools within the oceans.

    None of that comes close to a believable explanation for the events containing in the Noah myth.

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    the implication being that logic and reason are surplus to requirement.

    no it doesn't. I pointed out the problems with the Noah story. You said I'm beginning to think like a creationist. That suggests that even you don't believe Noahs story is true.:confused:

    Of course he did. And in all this time he only managed to father three sons and build one lousy boat.

    Whenever I read your posts,I picture a slightly more insane version of the Flintstones which views itself to be historical fact.

    .

    This is why Richard Dawkins refuses to debate with creationists. How did these things happen? Because God caused a miracle! Why do you believe in God? Because he creates miracles! Where is the evidence for these events? We don't need any because God just did it! The only reason for bothering answering these people is to try and stop children who may be reading their fairy tales from even considering them to be anything other than the lunacy that they so clearly are.
