This article is really badly written and in need of mob attention! ħumanUser talk:Human 23:21, 31 March 2009 (EDT)

take off a bunch of animals , because they were maybe aboard as eggs , and hatched after the ark landed, and a bunch of the others hibernated. And creation SCIENCE has shown only one pair (or maybe 7 , or seven pair) of each KIND were taken onboard. Gentlemens remember yer Baraminology Hamster 00:13, 1 April 2009 (EDT)

[edit] Given the extremely advanced technology of the time...

(as documented on Conservapedia) ...is it possible that Noah's ark actually contained an intricate CES inhabited by shrunken animals? 71.193.206.116 01:55, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Can one shrink the animals (and then have to Breed them back to original size?) without accepting evolution? Perhaps. K61824Ahh! my eyes!! 00:58, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
Noah just harvested their DNA and resurrected them once dry land was available again. It's really very simple. ħumanUser talk:Human 03:31, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] 8 people

Through out the article it always says 8 people, but the Bible talks of Noah, his three son's and their wives, it never specifies how many wives each man has. We can't discount the possibility that Noah's son's (or himself for that matter) had multiple wives. - π 02:42, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Urine

What about rotting? Anyone who has kept pets in wooden cages can tell you that piss can rot through sealed wood. - π 02:45, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Uh, God did it...

Couldn't God filter the water, water the animals, muck out the stalls, feed the animals, and so on? Jimaginator (talk) 13:26, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

If God is going to stoop to that level of divine providence, then why not use his magic powers to poof the evil people off the face of the planet? Why go through the rigmarole of a global flood, just to kill off a few million humans? The story of the flood only works if you're prepared to suspend disbelief for one aspect - that God required a big flood to kill everyone and everything whilst saving a select few. If you start allowing for magic powers to eliminate the perceived physical difficulties then why not go the whole hog and question the absurd logic of the entire process?

If you ask many christians, especially the more fervent, fundi ones, they will say he DOES step in that minutely. he wins football games for people, and finds lost children in the woods. Cures the cancer in a hospitalized (and treated) child. but sadly, has never chosen to grow and arm back, or repair a deaf person's ear. but they must not be as worthy as the foot ball team.--Sun mowse.pngEn attendant Godot 14:41, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
And don't forget; if there's a disaster or something that kills a lot of people, the sole survivor is a miracle!. Never mind the 99% of the other people who died, or that god was responsible for the whole sorry mess in the first place, that one person, surviving against the odds, proves god's mercy!Natman (talk) 14:56, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
It's certainly true that the flood would be a bizarrely inefficient way of killing everybody - requiring as it does a whole series of wildly improbable sub-miracles to keep the big one going and then to re-boot the biosphere. Simply turning the bad people to dust would have been far more efficient.--BobSpring is sprung! 15:23, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
Especially since the flood required the drowning of innocent babies, pregnant mothers (guess it's not abortion if god kills the mom, too), and cute little kittahs, and koalas, and eye-eyes, and sloths. God must hate sloth.--Sun mowse.pngEn attendant Godot 15:25, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
Plus all those dinosaurs, and the poor old unicorns. WèàšèìòìďWeaselly.jpgMethinks it is a Weasel 20:10, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments, I am enlightened. And I was all set to convert to the type of Christians that play with the snakes in church. Rats. I mean, Reptiles. Jimaginator (talk) 19:50, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Parasites

Just saw a yt video that mentioned the parasite dilemma. The unbusinesslikeman of business 16:35, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

[edit] The poor crushed critters

With all of those animals confined in such small spaces for over a year and with the ship rocking and rolling for as long as it did during the flood, they would have been turned into a mushy pile of viscera after a month. Let alone a year. And even if they were able to survive being thrown and pitched against the wall for that long, God is still an enormous dick for putting all of those animals through that. 208.54.86.196 (talk) 21:41, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
