Jellyfish are not "living flesh" like man, apes, wolves, tigers......that can walk or fly onto the Ark.
Well, that is clearly what the ancient authors thought. In reality, fish would not survive a catastrophic flood, just would not happen. Fish have VERY specific environments they need for survival. The massive size of the ocean ensures that such conditions change VERY slowly. That would not be the case if there were a global flood as such would require far more water than the Oceans themselves even contain.Why would anyone put fish and jellyfish and sharks on a boat during a flood? Afraid they might drown in the water? Something very fishy here.
Not exactly. It was 2 of each unclean animal and 7 pairs for clean animals. Noah had to have some left for a blood sacrifice after all. Which he promptly did when they got off the ark. The earlier and later stories do not really disagree with each other as much as one says he will have 2 pairs with him and the second commands him to bring 2 pairs of everything and also 7 pairs of clean animals/birds.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.
Those were specifically left out. It stipulates all animals (separate from fish 'kind') and birds and things with the 'breath of life.' This has led some literalists to claim insects and the like, as they do not 'breath' in the same manner that biblical 'animals' do, were not included. It is also how they do not include anything under the water. Here is where they continently forget about whales and other things that look and act like fish but are not. They really need this as the rate of speciation after the flood is already insanely fast and the space available is laughably limited.Except the Bible says the flood killed all animals on the Earth that weren't in the ark.
What about the fish and other water borne animals?
Well, that really is not what it says, at least not in the manner that you think. 'Animals' in no way represents the current taxonomic classification of animals. It is talking about ancient animal designations which were based on what things DID rather than what things were and, again, those that had 'the breath of life.' That is why they thought whales were fish when they clearly are not.Yeah, that's MY POINT.
Why would the Bible say ALL ANIMALS when not all animals needed the ark?
You were the fool who said you ask for repentance every day. Now you blaming me for your filthy lies.You are the hypocrite. You claim I cannot stop sinning, something then you claim doesn't exist. You are so full of hatred that your sins have overcome you. Such unhappy words coming from an unhappy atheist. Lives for nothing but complains about everything he cannot control. You suffer from it all. Give it all to the Lord. Life your burdens off your shoulders. Be happy again...
....People tend to lose sight of what the Book of Genesis is all about.
It is not a history or science book. It is a book about God's relationship with Man.
The story of Noah is not about a great flood. It is about the fact that God cannot destroy the earth every time that humans get out of control. If He did then there would be constant starting over. The real lesson is at the end of the story with God's promise to let humans have free will and be responsible for their own fate.
Fits in well with the other stories in Genesis.
You DO believe in God. I can prove it.You were the fool who said you ask for repentance every day. Now you blaming me for your filthy lies.
I'm as happy as a pig in mud when I'm tearing strip's off you jesus junkies. When the heat increases, you all squirm, quite passages, have pity on me, ask me to shed my anger that doesn't exist and so on. The problem is you lot of frauds cannot perform for your beliefs. You have all been conned.
With all the evil that has been in the world how many times have God destroyed it in say the last 3000 years?....
That is the EXACT opposite of the story of Noah.
So, "Magic".How did Jesus feed all those people from one loaf of bread and a few fish?
Miracles and planning by God, that's how.
Harry Potter doesn't exist. But we can discuss our thoughts about him.You DO believe in God. I can prove it.
Question: Why do you hate something if it doesn't exist?
God must exist for you to hate Him does He not?
Not really. I said he HATES God.Harry Potter doesn't exist. But we can discuss our thoughts about him.
So a big faceplant by you, there.
Yes really. You can hate a fictional character, right?Not really. I said he HATES God.
I don't hate "god", but that general character is something I can make up.Not really. I said he HATES God.
Why would you watch a movie if you don't like it?Yes really. You can hate a fictional character, right?
How would I know I don't like it, if I had not watched it?Why would you watch a movie if you don't like it?
Most atheist have to go on and on about how they hate God. Would you keep watching it if you hated it?How would I know I don't like it, if I had not watched it?
No, but try to keep in mind the scale, here. This is a discussion board. The one place where, hey, let's discuss.Most atheist have to go on and on about how they hate God. Would you keep watching it if you hated it?
I all can see is the magnitude of the universe created by the big bang

No one ever addresses how monumentally this would fuck up genetics if all the animals were descended from such small populations but meh, they also thought Adam and Eve make sense.
