....Where did Noah get all the wood from?

I would think there had to be pool on the ark for sea animals because they would survive without it. I mean we couldn't have sea animals if he didn't.

@WorDazza I actually never thought about that before. I mean in more depth. I did ask a Jehovah Witness once if water animals were on the ark and she just said no they remained where they were since the flood wouldn't affect them... Does this mean he collected ants, bees, flies, wasps, scorpions? Did he have to come here to grab Kangaroos and Koalas? I've been through stages. When I was little I just believed because I was under the impression that he was sort of like Santa. Not that I ever prayed for presents but I did pray to have help when I was going through a really tough time. Then I become Atheist because things were getting so much worse before it even began to get better. And growing up learning about how screwed up this world is....I didn't believe it at all. Even though yes I know, people create evil in this world. Now because I don't know just as much as the believers I call myself Agnostic. It's all well and good to believe but I once believed in Santa...and turned out he wasn't real. Who's to say that what is in the Bible is really true OR maybe it's based on something else we have yet to discover. Like when we discovered our parents were Santa all along.... I just class myself as Agnostic. I don't believe in a LOT of what I read and hear but I don't like to just dismiss it totally. Because at the end of the day, none of us know the truth. Seeing "Jesus" in a piece of toast just doesn't do it for me lol

I agree to each their own. There will always be toast people I laugh it off and ignore it too. Lets face it the bible and other books called holy was and is still being used in a crazy or forceful way to accomplish someones goal. I don't have all the answers and many questions as well. Nothing wrong with that. My questions though don't lead me to doubts about my most basic spiritual belief. As for the story of Noah, if you also read my comment understand it from the perspective not like that of factual science but of events as they were seen through people eyes of that time. We can always find holes in something if we look for them and end up missing the whole point of the story to begin with?

@LadyDuck Good point. I've never believed in it anyways but to be honest, this is actually the first time on this thread that I've heard to not take that part literally. Just because the religious people I've known, who told me the story, told it in a way that THAT's exactly what happened lol I'm so confuzzled!

@Daljinder .......... Say whaaaaaaaaaaat? ....so...that how mermaids came about?

@VivaLaDani13 I agree with Anna. I will tell you a story which is taken from such book. Sorry! I don't remember exact details. Only main things. A man (king or maybe common man I am not sure) couldn't be home but he needed a heir urgently. He sends his sperm back home to his wife. Now imagine that! In another scenario, a fish gets pregnant because it ingested human sperm. How about that?

@12345fun Great answer. I liked how you said that you live on this Earth and try to get along with everybody. Once I said that to a Christian and she said that it "Wasn't good enough." And that I "HAD to believe in God to be a good person."

@VivaLaDani13 I am sorry that you had to be told that. Some of them go to the extremes. I could never live with myself if I did that. Everybody has their own struggles and we do not need to make it worse on them. Just smile and move on if you do not want to talk to that person. I wish more people knew how to do that.

@12345fun Exactly right. Some people struggle knowing others have a different opinion than theirs. Some people can be accepting where as others want to Bible bash to the point you just don't want to hang around them anymore. That's what happened to this old friend of mine. I banned her from my life. Couldn't take it anymore among other crap she was putting me through.

@Daljinder LOL no I was thinking of this for a long time. :D besides there are other loopholes in the story too for example keeping predators nearby some animals etc.

@skysnap LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@skysnap Are you taking lessons from @vandana7?

@Mike197602 Really? So... ah no that's really going to annoy me! lol Like a never ending loop of questions that can't get answered yet...somehow it still makes sense and true to some people.... Miiiiiiiiiiiiike I neeed the aaaaaaaanswers!

I know people who believe humans and dinosaurs co-existed. I've tried to explain to them that The Flintstones is NOT a documentary!!!

@VivaLaDani13 it's because the bible was written by people with no clue whatsoever how the world was created so they just invented a story...threw in a few dubious historical facts and some true ones and robert's your mothers brother...there's the bible

You missed the very best part, not only deer, goat, horse, camel etc Noah got Tigers, Lions, Bears and their food too. So, what is the food of those non vegetarian animals? By the way if those animals were vegetarian, then there should be support for vegetarianism in Bible which is opposite there.

Totally agree. As an agnostic person. i find theory of evolution reasonable for current changes in the animls and the nature in general. Only gap I see with evolution is that in between timeline there are some gaps with the nature which we can't explain with religion and science.

@yugocean LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Vegetarian animals

@VivaLaDani13 These kind of discussions are among my favorite! On the animals, God may have given Noah baby animals to bring into the ark as that would have saved a lot of space and food and they would have been easy and fun to take care of. Of course that is just a thought and I don't know for sure. It will be fun to meet Noah one day and have him talk about his experiences.

@1hopefulman Thank you so much for answering. I enjoy reading what people have to say about this!

@yugocean okie! Thanks for answering!

@Fleura Good question! I'm not sure about that either!

@VivaLaDani13 Yeah, you would think that's what should have happened. Unless the dinosaurs were just an experiment prior to Adam & Eve. Ya got me.

@VivaLaDani13 You're welcome.

@just4him Thank you SO much for answering my questions!! I really appreciate that!

@VivaLaDani13 I love that movie. I think they need make more movies with Morgan Freeman as God.

@JESSY3236 lol I agree!

@JESSY3236 So kinda like how it happened in Evan Almighty lol Don't know if you've seen that. All the animals were following him around. Was funny. Thank you for your answer!

@franxav Thanks for your answer! Was just curious. I got told that Noah really did do this. It's hard for me to believe to be honest but I'm open to hear about it regardless.
