Noah probably didn't know that there were any other continents.
Ah another example of why literacy does no good for some people.
There are two versions of that allegory in Genesis, most people wouldn't know that, since most of the wankers who criticize it have never read it so don't have a clue; the first version has single pairs of animals in its narrative, while the second narrative in another chapter has seven pairs of animals.
Now, let's see if any of the 'realists' can explain what is meant by each version.
The waters didn't recede for 6-7 months.In the Bible, Genesis 6:9 - 9:17 it says:
"And of every living thing of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female."
So, they put two of every species on the ark.
Like sharks, fish, jellyfish....
How on EARTH did fish, and jellyfish and sharks survive on the ark for 40 days and 40 nights?
If you're going to use miracles to accomplish what you want, why didn't God just kill everyone he didn't like and skip the whole flood mess? I assume the animals were just collateral damage.How did Jesus feed all those people from one loaf of bread and a few fish?
Miracles and planning by God, that's how.
Claiming there were seven pairs of every species of animal does not make the story more believable.
Depends on what you think the stories mean; you clearly don't.
I believe they are just stories, used to teach lessons. I do not believe they are literal.

It was a dna storage area.Dove=bald eagle,cat=lion,any turtle=any turtle.Hoofs is hoofs

Israel and Judah had different creation stories that were cobbled together during the reign of king Omri.Ah another example of why literacy does no good for some people.

Bible scholars say otherwise. What is your theory? Omri was on a mission to reunite Israel and Judah.Wrong. It has to do with something entirely different. The two allegories are too close together to be a 'mistake' or an 'error'.

I have no idea. But I'll ask Him when I join loved ones already there with Him. *wink*If you're going to use miracles to accomplish what you want, why didn't God just kill everyone he didn't like and skip the whole flood mess? I assume the animals were just collateral damage.
Per the fable, Noah was on the Ark for 371 days. He was 601 years old at the end of the cruise adventure.
According to the text, Noah is instructed to take the 'animals that were with him', i.e. local ones. Jews weren't concerned with the rest of the world or others than themselves in their theology; 'other continents' and animals outside their own needs are an irrelevancy.
This doesnt make much sense.In short...I DO question the bible. I do NOT question God.
Arguing details of a myth is funny to me. In Sumer Noah was a king who hauled livestock, beer and grain downriver on barges to sell.Well, Genesis 8:3 says 150.
Doesn't really matter, the Bible isn't consistent at all....
Also your reply doesn't answer the question.
