@@billybob-ro6qf God would have had to suspend the laws of nature and biology for the story to be true. And of course there is NO EVIDENCE for a world-wide flood a few thousand years ago (or ever)!
Ahh.. This takes me back to the 4 times I’ve visited the Ark Encounter. I’m always a skeptic and have yet to find anything that comes from AiG to be non biblical. They are presenting options that could easily have been aboard the Ark during this time. Honestly, this occurred only 1,000 years after Adam’s sin. The gene pool was still in good shape. I’m feel certain that they were much ‘smarter’ / common sense than modern society.
@@stactionsmedia3318 It is all, way beyond ridiculous but the ancient Hebrew mythology believers will not be deterred from believing it, even though logic and common sense - let alone science - have no place in their religious convictions. For them, it all has to be true 'cause the bible tells them so. Primitive minds.
@@theo9952 Because believing that everything came from nothing is so much more logical? Where does logic come from in a worldview based on random chaos? You worldview is a complete contradiction. You can't claim both logic and random, chaotic, meaningless processes.
@@stactionsmedia3318But evolution is? Contrary to the evolutionary view, humans were far larger, stronger, and smarter at the time of the flood than they are today. Modern humans only use about 10% of the brain, they were still using much more of their brain back then. The air was more oxygen rich; their food and water was healthier, etc. God was the one causing it to happen, so it wss possible, unlike Evolution, which supposedly spawned the universe into existence without meaning, purpose, or order. Your entire worldview is an unproveable contradiction.
If you guys could actually build one that worked it would be a million times more convincing. With peace and love I promise you that this doesnt convince anybody who doesn’t already believe it.
@@LightentheEarthMinistry I can agree that if they actually built the mechanism it wouldn’t immediately convince everyone who doesn’t believe. What I am saying is that this is really not very persuasive because nothing like this has ever been built before. *talking specifically about the mechanism. If this video isn’t about trying to convince people or give creationists arguments they can use to convince people, then what is the point?
@@LightentheEarthMinistryif the ark encounter was built according to the measurements and materials available in that time period? Yes! With actual evidence to prove it would be logistically possible to gather the animals and their specific dietary needs from different continents? Yes! With proof that so few people could feed and clean up after that many animals adequately for an extended period of time? Yes. If we weren't made to do mental gymnastics to make any of this plausible? Absolutely!
Storing water in overhead cisterns may sound a workable solution, but in reality it would have been disastrous. Storing significant volumes of water high up in any vessel raises the centre of gravity and leads to instability. The Ark would likely have simply rolled over and sunk. Also using bamboo as a drainage system would not have been possible as it does not grow in the middle east.
Yeah just 1 foot of water on a modern flat roof and it will break at its weakest point. With rebar 3 feet of water and the ceiling will crack and begin to break in. Water unless it’s ice isn’t a solid and it will run in and 90-100% of all the water will fall into the spaces. The most this group tries to prove the their point the less they are able too. Why because the flood is a morality story not history! Where there local flood on the Tigris and or Euphrates rivers? Absolutely! Was there a world wide flood at one time? Geology 🪨 does not support this! Could it happen? Given certain circumstances possibly. Did it happen in antiquity? No. Why? Because there is zero evidence to support that claim! If you really want to change intelligent well educated people’s minds then you need to stop with the premise that the Bible is ALL 100% fact, true, history. Are there historical cities or places that are mentioned in the Bible that have been found through the science of archaeology? Yes, but the fallacy is that this means that ALL of the Bible is true- meaning factual, is true and can be relied on as such. No, it’s a religious opus that contains some places that existed as verified by archaeologists. Notice it takes outside science to verify this, not the Bible which is self referential and therefore is not scientific. Additionally creationism is not a science it’s a fallacy that has a religious bias at its core and therefore is not a science at all! Just because you put - ism at the end of creation doesn’t make it a science! 🧪
they could've been sitting on fresh water the whole-time waters can layer even rivers can go out into oceans 100 miles before becoming brackish.they could've had water kept right next to animal pens. I mean there's things you're not considering your leaving God out of the equation here. the water for animals during a global flood would have come from existing natural sources, rainfall, and expanded water bodies. The impact on animals would vary, with both benefits and challenges arising from flooding events. Also salinity levels may been lower if the ground waters came from underground.
A very simple test anyone can do to assess the viability of the Ark story, is to try and imagine how we would cope today if another flood was imminent. We would have no problem constructing the Ark itself with modern materials, although it would take considerable resources and manpower and time to complete. The problems are numerous and would include, finding suitable examples of every kind of creature, even deciding what is meant by kind would pose a major problem. Then we would have to locate and transport them from all over the world to where the Ark was located. All the food necessary for each animal kind would have to be collected in sufficient quantities to feed the animals for the duration of the flood and for a considerable time afterwards, whilst the animals natural food sources were re-established. Similarly huge quantities of fresh water would have to be stored on board. Then there would be the not inconsiderable problem of returning all the animals to their natural environments after the flood, presumably many years later when the natural vegetation had had time to re-establish itself. For the carnivorous animals alone this would require the addition of a large number of additional prey animals to provide an on going food source that might in itself have to last for years. All this, with the exception of the construction of the Ark itself, would we are told, be undertaken by only eight people. When you consider the enormity of the problems that would have to be faced including in addition issues of illness and disease and breeding whilst in captivity, I think any sensible person would have to conclude that it would be an impossible task for the advanced technology we have today never mind for a stone age era family.@@diamondlife-gi7hg
Very clever and resourceful animals the Panda. Unlike many others who would just arrive empty handed and expect Noah and his family to provide everything they needed and be waited on hand and foot. Perhaps they thought it was a P&O Cruise ship called the ARK? @@amelialalllalala3914
This is a great series! Kudos to Calvin! As to waste management, manure can be composted. Done right, it eliminates the odor. Also animals eating a vegetarian diet produce a less offensive excrement. Still a big job, though; and it makes me think that the number of kinds is probably significantly smaller than your "worst case" estimate. God commanded that the ark be stored with food for the animals. But this does not prove that they were awake for the whole year. It would have been a mercy to all concerned if they could have slept through the most terrifying first half of the ride. They would be hungry when they woke up.
It shows that there were numerous options, it doesn't mean that any of these were used but it shows that there are pretty easy solutions and that it was possible.
@@Theodor857 , I have never seen anything that was possible when they say “could have, would have”. It’s just a way of getting around an unanswerable question.

@davidgardner863 respectfully, that's your opinion, I believe that it is true, that the flood happened. I believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I believe in Jesus. I believe that I am excepted into God's kingdom because Jesus made it possible by taking my place and taking my sins on him, died for me and every single person, defeated death and rose again. So that all can take part in His eternal glory. I didn’t deserve it, does anyone deserve it? Yet God made a way for us to be freed. Bless you
So if it was raining for forty days and forty nights there would have been a constant flow of water for Noah and his family as well as all of the animals. Noah would have had a problem in storing the water but if God was able to flood the earth I am sure that water storage would have not have been a problem

At best, perhaps merged with some half forgotten folk tale about some actual devastating local flood. Yet here in the video, the channel hosts take a few lines of old ambiguous text, and try to spin some money generating views by throwing around baseless speculation about entirely imaginative things like practical systems for the generation of freshwater over a year for a few supposed founders of earth’s extraordinarily massive and complex biodiversity.

@@jasonaltig985 so because genesis says there is a window in the ark you presume to know its size and function and that it was the only opening and also dictates whether or not it could be used for water collection? You sure you dont have the blue prints because you seem to know so much.
As for the animals on the ark... I think it was Chuck Missler who suggested that God could have put the animals into hibernation. Another person--I forget who suggested that the animals, especially the larger ones, could have been young instead of fully grown.
I'll give you another answer.The animals were all new borns,very young,feed most of them goats milk.chicken eggs,rabbits that over breed.Butvlittle baby animals would take up 1/10 of the space,and eat very little.
@@ricklamb772 New borns take MUCH more care than adult animals. A newborn kitten for example: they cannot regulate their own body heat and they require an absolut eminimum of feeds every two hours, day and night, without fail. Oh, and if you feed baby mammals goats milk they will die. Each mammal species produces milk exactly tailired to the specialised needs of their young. That's why there are special kitten and puppy formulas for orphaned animals, and even then, the mortality rate is substantially higher
@@richardgregory3684 I agree,completely.But I'm not sure what your point is,I f animals were weaned from their parents.And the water question,it still rained after the flood,as it does now.God taught Noah exactly how to build the ark.And that means water containers.
@@ricklamb772 If the animals are weaned then they're no longe rbabies drinking goats milk. WHich the OP introduced to try to solve the problems of the ark lol _God taught Noah exactly how to build the ark_ Where in the bible does it say that? All god does is give the overall dimensions and to use gopher wood and pitch. Now if it mentions those things, it would surely say god guided Noah's hand. But it does not. Adding to the bible, including by presumption, is a sin. How much water do you think thousands of animals require every single day? A adult male elephant can drink over two hundred liters - forty gallons - every single day. So how much rain would you need to collect enough for just two elephants? Remember the early explorers in sailign ships: if rain worked, they'd have done that. They didn't.
I also like to make up stories about Noah's ark. It was also covered in gold and was capable of launching into low earth orbit. It would have been difficult to build, but completely doable.
So, of just the species we know of, Noah would have had to collect 150 thousand mating pairs of species. That's just the ones we know of. That doesn't include the one million types of bugs and spiders. Just that amount of cargo would have required a ballpark figure of 150 super tankers of today. That does not include the millions of tons of food that would have been needed to feed them the 150 days until the waters receded. As far as water goes, it had just rained for 40 days and 40 nights. Did god continue the rains so Noahs creatures could drink? The waters needed to recede. But even if the rains continued, imagaine amount of water needed. A few barrels of rain water would not do the job. And just consider that the longest wood boat constructed using 1900s know how, was 350 feet long. When it went over the waves, it bent and leaked because the trough of the waves between peaks stressed the center section. There's just too many absurd claims in the bible to believe that the story of the flood and the ark is meant to be historical and not anacedotal. One other important note to consider, plant species had to be aboard. also and bacteria or fungus that couldn't survive the deluge. None of this is mentioned in the bible. And since we don't believe in spontaneous evolution, where the heck did all the present day bacteria, fungi and plants come from? Religious scholars argue that we take the bible literally. But how do we reconcile these glaring facts?
He didn't take species, he took "kinds"... So a breeding pair of lions was taken on the Ark, breed and 4000 years later we have tigers, lynx, bobcats, the common house cats.... Totally believable
So one pair of felines from the ark produced 38 species of cats not to mention the dozens of extinct ones, and they didn’t have 4000 years because many of those were known in ancient times as they are now? And from the creation to the flood, about 1,700 years, what did those “kinds” do, just reproduce more of the same kinds then suddenly explode with a super hyper evolution when they stepped off the boat? Did that feline “kind” have a litter of lions, then a litter of bobcats, then a litter of cheetahs, then a litter of sabertooths, then a litter of house cats? Starting to see how comically absurd your comment is?
If God created the Cosmos, do you think He could not provide food and water for those on the Ark? He provided for the Children of Israel in the desert. He even became angry at the complaining throng and sent them meat. More meat than they could choke down. I imagine that they SHOULD have learned a lesson, but human nature always screws us over. With no refrigeration tons upon tons of rotting quail would have been...breathtaking. To say the least.
Lots of could, might, and maybes in all that conjecture. Still cannot fathom how Noah managed to get so far south to New Zealand to pick up Kiwis and Moas and then on to Antarctica for a pair of Emperor Penguins. and then back to Arabian Peninsular via Australia for Kangaroos and Dingoes in time to catch the flood. Maybe Noah just loaded up his own farm animals in order to start all over again once he hit dry land again.
@@jkoonce4244 The closest the land of North America is to Europe is 3,047 km, according to Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis (the one who owns the Ark Encounter) argues the flood happened 4,359 years ago. That means that in that time the land had to move 0.70 km per year (thereabouts). or that equals to about 1.9 meters per day. If that was the case we would be experiencing at minimum a magnitude 8+ earthquake everyday. As it is the land is only moving at a rate of 0.08 meters per year. which means in that time since the flood the distance between North America and Europe would be 349 meters. Pangaea does not work when you take into account all this information.
This sounds like a more believable story than the one put forth in the Jewish " book of fables" known as the word of God. I have great difficulty believing anything in the bible that promotes these "fairy tales" as being true/real. All the twisting of words does not make it any more believable.

The ark journey was the original "rite of passage" as practiced by cultures worldwide.. Eveyone onboard was hibernating. The crew were fasting the enire year, and noah killed and incierated a large number of clean beasts, which were consumed in the first barbecue. The image of the "grim reaper" is based on noah since he was a farmer and used a pruning hook (or scythe) to dispatch the beasts before broiling them.
@@haggismcbaggis9485 after 40 days of continual rain I'm sure they had more than enough water for the entire year. We aren't told ever detail in the bible obviously. Just know GOD was with them & GOD is their & our provider. GOD is our everything. With Him we lack NOTHING.

the water for animals during a global flood would have come from existing natural sources, rainfall, and expanded water bodies. The impact on animals would vary, with both benefits and challenges arising from flooding events.
There are no natural sources to cover entire earth with water. And most animals would have died, including fresh water animals and some one salt water side.
You weren't there, I wasn't either. But since we believe the whole ark story, be have to believe in God---right? And God knew for a long time that He was going to do the flood; it took Noah and family many years to build the ship. Who designed the ship? We know it wasn't Noah, so it was God. Is God brilliant or not? What is so hard to believe that Noah built God's plans. What is so hard to believe that all that rain was put to use by incorporating gutters/scuppers through out the whole ship. Scuppers directed the collected rain waters into the cells, into a drinking trough then overflowed to wash out the animal cells/cages, and overboard without the crew having to manage that part. And people always assumed each animal that came into the ark were adults---I don't think so. Even 6-month-old baby animals are considered animals. They don't eat the same amount as adults. And finally, God does the miracles He wants to do. If he wanted Little Caeser's to deliver every day, it would have been so. Throughout this ordeal at sea for longer than the rain fall of eighty days, the baby animals needed less calories, and less food, and may have in fact been hibernating for 2-3 months. When in the future, God causes the lamb and the lion to lay down together, God will still control that. So too, was what the animal as ate in the ark. God made them all eat the same grain, no special steak for Noah or the meat eaters either. Simple solutions.
All that interior construction would have taken longer to build than the hull. Many young animals need one or both parents until nearly full grown and many are fully mature in a year or less. Your one size fits all approach just doesn’t work.
@keahi7646 Ah yes, such simple solutions by an apparently all-knowing and all-powerful God, who according to your view got a single man to spend an age building an elaborate water management system on a giant boat made of wood before making select animals walk to there then changed their properties and habits which he made so they’d coexist peacefully for a year while he wiped out the rest of his own creation, then once done release them all together on one mountain in the Middle East. Is any of that really the simple and elegant solution for amazing God who created all matter and life? Why not just instantly zap the chose few to another plain of existence or some chosen protected place, then after back again to select chosen places around the globe after, or any other such far more efficient ways to save the. restore life how decided best. Even the basic idea of getting a man (or men) to hand build a boat out of wood is a terribly basic and archaic way to do that for an alleged all-powerful God, why not themselves place a self created spaceship made out of amazing new materials or some other such solution which is actually wondrous to us mere humans. Else I really don’t still get why an all-knowing (omniscient) God would decide to create any of those living creates that they already knew would need (nearly) wiping out later, then it seems doing an incomplete job by not actually wiping any of them out as ‘a few babies that had their properties specially changed to coexist for a year were put on a magical wooden boat for a year, which had been hand built by one man”.
Aka: its true because book said so. There was no technology Noah could have built to help out with life support system even if god was real and he told him how to make one... Stop making excuses for most obvious fictional story from entire book.
I really appreciate all the information, but you go way too fast and doing this I'd like to spend much more time and looking at the actual proposed solutions as they seem really exciting.
GOD FEED Moses & all Israel in the desert for 40 YEARS with Mana, bread from Heaven. So He could & did take care of 8 people & the animals for one year upon the Ark. With GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!

And we also don't know whether the animals were babies or not.

There was not enough room on the ark for all the "kinds" let alone water and food. There's many "kinds" that eat a very limited if not single food source. Also everything would've died since the flood killed everything so there would be nothing to eat. No plants for the herbivores and the gestation petiod is too long to feed the carnivores. Elephants alone need tons of food. Anyone who believes in the ark myth simply did not do any math.

When it comes to water supply one has to realize that man suffered from that before the flood. The megalithic stone structures that were built before the flood clearly show man's ability to harvest what the Earth provided. The megalithic construction of man is what gave rise to the term "Stone Age", Noah built out of wood and was scoffed at those around him accused of being a fool for 70 years.
Since Noah's Flood is fantasy, Answers in Genesis can make up any nonsense theory that they want. I enjoy the stories of the Olympian Gods more, plus they predate Judiasm by well over a thousand years.
I'll just point out that all of these "explanations" are speculation based on nothing. In fact the bible says there was only one window, 20 inches square, and all of the inside and outside of the ark was coated in pitch. There is nothing in the bible about any aspect of the ark other than it's outer dimensions, coating of pitch inside and out, and one tiny window. In fact, it is a story that is exactly what you'd expect from a people who had no idea of what was actually required for such a vessel on such a voyage.
Where did they get drinking water from LOL. that's the dumbest question I have ever heard. It rained 40 days STRAIGHT!

Share fact that China civilization existed at that time and "surprisingly" it went through this all kill event without ever noticing it... Why? Did they forgot to read memo that they needed to die on thursday or something? At best you could claim that this magical flood was local and its entire meaning was completely different from what it was said in bible, but biblical global flood never happen, deal with that.
@@stactionsmedia3318 its SAD that atheist try to ignore or reject the word of God. But God's word is eternal & all who die lost in sin & unbelief will be cast into the lake of fire forever! Best to REPENT of all sin & GET SAVED!
Except that it was raining for the first 40 days, after that, no rain for remaining year... So like... Where did this water came from? And you do understand that you would need daily rain to sustain all those thousands of animals?... Flood would have never ended at that rate....
@@Zripas did you write your own version of the bible? It truthfully does not mention if it rained every day after the flood for all we no.Since we are looking at the fact that this took place and that since then it has continued to rain now and forever,it's no stretch that he collected rain water in hollowed logs or collection containers.Since God skilled him in the making of the ark,God knew he would need water.And the fact that the story of the flood has reached us today is its own proof of the fact,if not there would have been no survivers,because they would have died in a few weeks tops without water.
@@Zripas Yes the rain stopped after 40 days, but the earth was covered in all that water for about an entire YEAR. I'm sure much of it was still FRESH water. I've heard that even today where fresh water rivers pour into oceans that the water stays fresh for many miles out in the ocean.
@@stactionsmedia3318 JESUS HIMSELF spoke of Noah & the flood. With man alone this would be impossible, but WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! Noah didn't have to be anything other than a man of God, God took care of the rest. It's not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit saith the Lord God.
@@billybob-ro6qf That's not how reality works... You even debunked your own comment here by stating that fresh water remains for many miles, cool, many miles isn't the same as ENTIRE earth being covered with it for entire year... How many miles is that? Water animals/fish in majority of cases have specific requirement of waters saltines, aka how much salt there is in water to survive. Fresh water animals will not survive in ocean water and ocean animals will not survive in fresh water, by covering entire earth with extra fresh water on top of entire oceans you will have wild mix which is not suitable for both groups of animals which would result in mass extinction. This is not even debatable, ask any biologist and every single one will explain to you why global flood doesn't work to keep anyone alive.
God shrunk the animals and put them to sleep which solved the problem of food, water and waste management. Besides, god can make new animals any time he feels like it, cuz god can do anything. Ain't that right?
But again, like virtually everything else on this channel. You state something couldn't be true because we don't evidence for it. Then, spend the entire remainder of the video saying this is how Noah did this, without having any textual evidence for it.
@@TickedOffPriest Providing answer isn't actually proving it to be true. I can give answer to ANY question you can come up, will not really indicate that what I'm saying is actually a representation of reality. But let's try it. What is your explanation in how Noah managed to store, safely, enough water for thousands of animals for entire year? Like for example, single elephant needs up to 100L of water per day, so you have 2 of those for more than 365 days. So lets say its 80L per elephant, so 2*80*365 = 55200 liters of water for 2 elephants. By the way, while you provide answer for that, can you explain where exactly did fresh water animals lived? Like crocodiles, beevers, hippos and so on.
@@TickedOffPriest Boiled inside? When you only have single window, you would create a fire inside wooden ship?... Can you even comprehend how much water you would need to boil for all those animals daily?... And quite few animals grow up and reaches adulthood in less than a year. So do you have a valid answer?
Biblically the flood wasn't global but regional around the black sea and persian gulf, the places destroyed must have been so evil that parents with babies and good people would leave the corrupt cities and would survive noahs flood.
@@noob8033_2 and you feel the Justice of slaughtering children is a good justice? A god who will eternally torture, or annihilate (depending on your belief) his “children” simply for not believing in him despite not providing evidence of “his” existence is a good and just god?
@@jasonaltig985 No he won't torture forever, I am Catholic but study the Bible a lot meaning that I have a different view on the Bible. I am going to answer two of your questions below this: 1: The chances of children dying under the flood are very very low since parents who would have not have been corrupt and evil would take their children away a move far away. (Note the flood was biblically regional) If children stayed in the horrible places they would be so traumatized that they would probably kill themselves anyway and since they were still young, it to a small purgatory for them. 2: After we die our soul isn't conscious. The soul is quantum information that only stays conscious when connected to the brain. Information cannot be destroyed and so after we die we aren't conscious. This is called in the Hebrew Bible "Sheol" and is mentioned 66 times. We know that the books of daniel and revelation are biblical but they accuracy is questionable. Daniel is just a copy of Isaiah and revelation talks about that particular time it was written. This is why we need to look at the other books like Psalms and even what Jesus said. Jesus and many early jews did belive in a sheol but also an afterlife. When the time is right, christ will come and create a new heaven here. The good and bad will rise from Sheol where they have been sleeping. After judgment the evil will go back to sheol (no afterlife) the middle will either feel all the pain they have done or just have to accept god quickly and will be purified. The good will stay on earth in new heaven where the Supreme being will modify physics and our body. Note: it's kinda like "belive and be immortal or just have no afterlife 👍"
You think, that's cool, but in reality it would have still been salty with bunch of dead bodies floating around. It would have been poisonous to any animal
Not salty? Why not? And if its no longer salty then every single fish in oceans died, so you would have had one big soup of rotten bodies in the thing you are picking water from... Not a good thing I might say...
Ha ha ha. How much dumber can this story get. The Ark would have been floating in a sea of fresh-water miles deep. This story is so full of holes that nothing floats. 99% of the crammed in animals would be dead in a week.
The God Culture videos prove The Ark of Noah landed at Himalayah mountains. Animals migrated to all parts of hinginentsefore in days of Peleg Genesis 10, the Uk was cut off from Eu, Australia from Indo etc. The length of pre flood human brings were 12ft. Thus the dimensions of the Ark were much larger, using your forearm ( el) as measure stick. Hibernation was a fact. No dinosaurs. All drowned. Most awesome event took place 4500 years ago!
Using water from the rain would kill you soooooooooooo What would the animals eat The ark could not fit all the animals The Bible says two of every animal that’s every animal
I don't know if there is a "GOD". But if there is one, he would laugh with the naivety and pseudoscientific explanations of the Bible (ancient Hebrew mythology) believers, if he bothered at all to check on this little speck of dust in the universe which we live upon and we call Earth.
This is beyond insane
Why isn't anyone asking, "Where did all the dead bodies go when the flood was all over?" Both humans and animals. That is my biggest question.
Thank you for sharing. :)

Ahh.. This takes me back to the 4 times I’ve visited the Ark Encounter. I’m always a skeptic and have yet to find anything that comes from AiG to be non biblical. They are presenting options that could easily have been aboard the Ark during this time. Honestly, this occurred only 1,000 years after Adam’s sin. The gene pool was still in good shape.

Storing water in overhead cisterns may sound a workable solution, but in reality it would have been disastrous. Storing significant volumes of water high up in any vessel raises the centre of gravity and leads to instability. The Ark would likely have simply rolled over and sunk. Also using bamboo as a drainage system would not have been possible as it does not grow in the middle east.
Yeah just 1 foot of water on a modern flat roof and it will break at its weakest point. With rebar 3 feet of water and the ceiling will crack and begin to break in. Water unless it’s ice isn’t a solid and it will run in and 90-100% of all the water will fall into the spaces. The most this group tries to prove the their point the less they are able too. Why because the flood is a morality story not history! Where there local flood on the Tigris and or Euphrates rivers? Absolutely! Was there a world wide flood at one time? Geology 🪨 does not support this! Could it happen? Given certain circumstances possibly. Did it happen in antiquity? No. Why? Because there is zero evidence to support that claim! If you really want to change intelligent well educated people’s minds then you need to stop with the premise that the Bible is ALL 100% fact, true, history. Are there historical cities or places that are mentioned in the Bible that have been found through the science of archaeology? Yes, but the fallacy is that this means that ALL of the Bible is true- meaning factual, is true and can be relied on as such. No, it’s a religious opus that contains some places that existed as verified by archaeologists. Notice it takes outside science to verify this, not the Bible which is self referential and therefore is not scientific.
Additionally creationism is not a science it’s a fallacy that has a religious bias at its core and therefore is not a science at all! Just because you put - ism at the end of creation doesn’t make it a science! 🧪

they could've been sitting on fresh water the whole-time waters can layer even rivers can go out into oceans 100 miles before becoming brackish.they could've had water kept right next to animal pens. I mean there's things you're not considering your leaving God out of the equation here. the water for animals during a global flood would have come from existing natural sources, rainfall, and expanded water bodies. The impact on animals would vary, with both benefits and challenges arising from flooding events. Also salinity levels may been lower if the ground waters came from underground.
A very simple test anyone can do to assess the viability of the Ark story, is to try and imagine how we would cope today if another flood was imminent. We would have no problem constructing the Ark itself with modern materials, although it would take considerable resources and manpower and time to complete. The problems are numerous and would include, finding suitable examples of every kind of creature, even deciding what is meant by kind would pose a major problem. Then we would have to locate and transport them from all over the world to where the Ark was located. All the food necessary for each animal kind would have to be collected in sufficient quantities to feed the animals for the duration of the flood and for a considerable time afterwards, whilst the animals natural food sources were re-established. Similarly huge quantities of fresh water would have to be stored on board. Then there would be the not inconsiderable problem of returning all the animals to their natural environments after the flood, presumably many years later when the natural vegetation had had time to re-establish itself. For the carnivorous animals alone this would require the addition of a large number of additional prey animals to provide an on going food source that might in itself have to last for years. All this, with the exception of the construction of the Ark itself, would we are told, be undertaken by only eight people. When you consider the enormity of the problems that would have to be faced including in addition issues of illness and disease and breeding whilst in captivity, I think any sensible person would have to conclude that it would be an impossible task for the advanced technology we have today never mind for a stone age era family.@@diamondlife-gi7hg
Very clever and resourceful animals the Panda. Unlike many others who would just arrive empty handed and expect Noah and his family to provide everything they needed and be waited on hand and foot. Perhaps they thought it was a P&O Cruise ship called the ARK? @@amelialalllalala3914
This is a great series! Kudos to Calvin!
As to waste management, manure can be composted. Done right, it eliminates the odor. Also animals eating a vegetarian diet produce a less offensive excrement. Still a big job, though; and it makes me think that the number of kinds is probably significantly smaller than your "worst case" estimate.
God commanded that the ark be stored with food for the animals. But this does not prove that they were awake for the whole year. It would have been a mercy to all concerned if they could have slept through the most terrifying first half of the ride. They would be hungry when they woke up.
“Could have, might have”. Yeah, that answers every question.
It shows that there were numerous options, it doesn't mean that any of these were used but it shows that there are pretty easy solutions and that it was possible.
@@Theodor857 , I have never seen anything that was possible when they say “could have, would have”. It’s just a way of getting around an unanswerable question.
@@davidgardner863 if he said that is definitely how they did I would scroll to the next video knowing that he isn't being honest about it. To be honest I don't think the way it is said in the video is how it was in most part. I wasn't there when it happened so who knows?
@@Theodor857 , Nobody was there because it never happened.
@davidgardner863 respectfully, that's your opinion, I believe that it is true, that the flood happened. I believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I believe in Jesus. I believe that I am excepted into God's kingdom because Jesus made it possible by taking my place and taking my sins on him, died for me and every single person, defeated death and rose again. So that all can take part in His eternal glory. I didn’t deserve it, does anyone deserve it? Yet God made a way for us to be freed. Bless you
So if it was raining for forty days and forty nights there would have been a constant flow of water for Noah and his family as well as all of the animals. Noah would have had a problem in storing the water but if God was able to flood the earth I am sure that water storage would have not have been a problem

I personally can see how it can be viewed as a fascinating story about how a man putting all his faith into an epic task set to him by God then earns salvation and for his kin who do likewise, etc, but I find it beyond logic to say it’s anything more than just an allegory or moral guidance. At best, perhaps merged with some half forgotten folk tale about some actual devastating local flood. Yet here in the video, the channel hosts take a few lines of old ambiguous text, and try to spin some money generating views by throwing around baseless speculation about entirely imaginative things like practical systems for the generation of freshwater over a year for a few supposed founders of earth’s extraordinarily massive and complex biodiversity.

As for the animals on the ark... I think it was Chuck Missler who suggested that God could have put the animals into hibernation.
Another person--I forget who suggested that the animals, especially the larger ones, could have been young instead of fully grown.
I'll give you another answer.The animals were all new borns,very young,feed most of them goats milk.chicken eggs,rabbits that over breed.Butvlittle baby animals would take up 1/10 of the space,and eat very little.
@@ricklamb772 New borns take MUCH more care than adult animals. A newborn kitten for example: they cannot regulate their own body heat and they require an absolut eminimum of feeds every two hours, day and night, without fail. Oh, and if you feed baby mammals goats milk they will die. Each mammal species produces milk exactly tailired to the specialised needs of their young. That's why there are special kitten and puppy formulas for orphaned animals, and even then, the mortality rate is substantially higher
@@richardgregory3684 I agree,completely.But I'm not sure what your point is,I f animals were weaned from their parents.And the water question,it still rained after the flood,as it does now.God taught Noah exactly how to build the ark.And that means water containers.
@@ricklamb772 If the animals are weaned then they're no longe rbabies drinking goats milk. WHich the OP introduced to try to solve the problems of the ark lol
_God taught Noah exactly how to build the ark_
Where in the bible does it say that? All god does is give the overall dimensions and to use gopher wood and pitch. Now if it mentions those things, it would surely say god guided Noah's hand. But it does not. Adding to the bible, including by presumption, is a sin. How much water do you think thousands of animals require every single day? A adult male elephant can drink over two hundred liters - forty gallons - every single day. So how much rain would you need to collect enough for just two elephants? Remember the early explorers in sailign ships: if rain worked, they'd have done that. They didn't.
I read that he shrank them all down to the size of pebbles so that it would be easier to take care of.....
I also like to make up stories about Noah's ark. It was also covered in gold and was capable of launching into low earth orbit. It would have been difficult to build, but completely doable.
So, of just the species we know of, Noah would have had to collect 150 thousand mating pairs of species. That's just the ones we know of. That doesn't include the one million types of bugs and spiders. Just that amount of cargo would have required a ballpark figure of 150 super tankers of today. That does not include the millions of tons of food that would have been needed to feed them the 150 days until the waters receded. As far as water goes, it had just rained for 40 days and 40 nights. Did god continue the rains so Noahs creatures could drink? The waters needed to recede. But even if the rains continued, imagaine amount of water needed. A few barrels of rain water would not do the job. And just consider that the longest wood boat constructed using 1900s know how, was 350 feet long. When it went over the waves, it bent and leaked because the trough of the waves between peaks stressed the center section. There's just too many absurd claims in the bible to believe that the story of the flood and the ark is meant to be historical and not anacedotal. One other important note to consider, plant species had to be aboard. also and bacteria or fungus that couldn't survive the deluge. None of this is mentioned in the bible. And since we don't believe in spontaneous evolution, where the heck did all the present day bacteria, fungi and plants come from? Religious scholars argue that we take the bible literally. But how do we reconcile these glaring facts?
He didn't take species, he took "kinds"... So a breeding pair of lions was taken on the Ark, breed and 4000 years later we have tigers, lynx, bobcats, the common house cats.... Totally believable
So one pair of felines from the ark produced 38 species of cats not to mention the dozens of extinct ones, and they didn’t have 4000 years because many of those were known in ancient times as they are now? And from the creation to the flood, about 1,700 years, what did those “kinds” do, just reproduce more of the same kinds then suddenly explode with a super hyper evolution when they stepped off the boat? Did that feline “kind” have a litter of lions, then a litter of bobcats, then a litter of cheetahs, then a litter of sabertooths, then a litter of house cats? Starting to see how comically absurd your comment is?
If God created the Cosmos, do you think He could not provide food and water for those on the Ark? He provided for the Children of Israel in the desert. He even became angry at the complaining throng and sent them meat. More meat than they could choke down. I imagine that they SHOULD have learned a lesson, but human nature always screws us over. With no refrigeration tons upon tons of rotting quail would have been...breathtaking. To say the least.
All things are possible with God by his word he made ever
@@willleonhardt3827 you mean all things are believable if you make them up.....
Lots of could, might, and maybes in all that conjecture. Still cannot fathom how Noah managed to get so far south to New Zealand to pick up Kiwis and Moas and then on to Antarctica for a pair of Emperor Penguins. and then back to Arabian Peninsular via Australia for Kangaroos and Dingoes in time to catch the flood. Maybe Noah just loaded up his own farm animals in order to start all over again once he hit dry land again.

@@jkoonce4244 The closest the land of North America is to Europe is 3,047 km, according to Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis (the one who owns the Ark Encounter) argues the flood happened 4,359 years ago.

If that was the case we would be experiencing at minimum a magnitude 8+ earthquake everyday.

There are no natural sources to cover entire earth with water. And most animals would have died, including fresh water animals and some one salt water side.
You weren't there, I wasn't either. But since we believe the whole ark story, be have to believe in God---right? And God knew for a long time that He was going to do the flood; it took Noah and family many years to build the ship. Who designed the ship? We know it wasn't Noah, so it was God. Is God brilliant or not? What is so hard to believe that Noah built God's plans. What is so hard to believe that all that rain was put to use by incorporating gutters/scuppers through out the whole ship. Scuppers directed the collected rain waters into the cells, into a drinking trough then overflowed to wash out the animal cells/cages, and overboard without the crew having to manage that part. And people always assumed each animal that came into the ark were adults---I don't think so. Even 6-month-old baby animals are considered animals. They don't eat the same amount as adults. And finally, God does the miracles He wants to do. If he wanted Little Caeser's to deliver every day, it would have been so. Throughout this ordeal at sea for longer than the rain fall of eighty days, the baby animals needed less calories, and less food, and may have in fact been hibernating for 2-3 months. When in the future, God causes the lamb and the lion to lay down together, God will still control that. So too, was what the animal as ate in the ark.

@keahi7646 Ah yes, such simple solutions by an apparently all-knowing and all-powerful God, who according to your view got a single man to spend an age building an elaborate water management system on a giant boat made of wood before making select animals walk to there then changed their properties and habits which he made so they’d coexist peacefully for a year while he wiped out the rest of his own creation, then once done release them all together on one mountain in the Middle East. Is any of that really the simple and elegant solution for amazing God who created all matter and life? Why not just instantly zap the chose few to another plain of existence or some chosen protected place, then after back again to select chosen places around the globe after, or any other such far more efficient ways to save the. restore life how decided best. Even the basic idea of getting a man (or men) to hand build a boat out of wood is a terribly basic and archaic way to do that for an alleged all-powerful God, why not themselves place a self created spaceship made out of amazing new materials or some other such solution which is actually wondrous to us mere humans. Else I really don’t still get why an all-knowing (omniscient) God would decide to create any of those living creates that they already knew would need (nearly) wiping out later, then it seems doing an incomplete job by not actually wiping any of them out as ‘a few babies that had their properties specially changed to coexist for a year were put on a magical wooden boat for a year, which had been hand built by one man”.

Part 8
wasn't it pissing with rain . .. . .
God designed the ship, and Noah built it. So I expect it had some impressive technical ingenuity on the life support system.
Aka: its true because book said so.
There was no technology Noah could have built to help out with life support system even if god was real and he told him how to make one... Stop making excuses for most obvious fictional story from entire book.
I really appreciate all the information, but you go way too fast and doing this I'd like to spend much more time and looking at the actual proposed solutions as they seem really exciting.
Food for all of the people and animals
GOD FEED Moses & all Israel in the desert for 40 YEARS with Mana, bread from Heaven. So He could & did take care of 8 people & the animals for one year upon the Ark. With GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!

How did all the fish survive the Flood? Rain is fresh water --- all the salt water fish would die. Oceans are salt water -- all the fresh water fish would die. A mixed (brackish) water would kill both salt and fresh water fish.
In tidal rivers, fresh and salt water fish survive quite nicely in brackish water.
Rain
It supposedly only rained for first 40 days, remaining year was without rain, so no.

And I have no idea what you tried to say here with that "waters came from our the earth" when topic was about fresh water supply on that ship... Water coming from earth will not make it fresh, as it will flow into oceans, not even to mention billions of dead animals rotting in that water... So its definitely not drinkable, so ONLY source of water would have been rain, which stopped after first 40 days. So, again, NO, its not a rain, because this event never happen.

Why didn't you people build an actual working/functioning ark rather than this building with an ark facade on the front? You could have implemented your theories on how it would have worked.
They know it wouldn’t work and would discredit their lies.
and I wanna see it built by one old man
@@ninhil2 well his centuries old sons helped him so that makes it totally plausible.
@@ninhil2 He had help from his 8 sons, and don't forget Adam was 15 feet tall, we know the people at the time were far different from us. So we have no idea how tall or strong Noah was.
@stactionsmedia3318 Not species, *kinds. He wouldn't need polar bears, nor grizzly bears, or black bears. All he would need is the original bear kind that adapted into other species. Noah had roughly 55-75 years as to build the flood, and he had 3 sons along with their 3 wives and his wife. These people were essentially superhuman, too. And we also don't know whether the animals were babies or not.
So there are no calculations made cncerning the water demands of ths floating zoo. It would have been fairly simple to do a small scale experiment say twohundred animals ranging from mice and snakes to panthers and zebras.
Noah most likely have been blessed and equipped with great understanding of the "Technologies" that would address the challenges of the Flood.
Noah could have possesed Amazing Knowldege and Understanding in the ff. Disciplines:
- Engineering / Architecture
(Maritime and Civil)
- Agriculture
- Genetics
- Chemistry
- Economics and Accounting
- Energy Consumption
Among others 😊😊😊
There's no evidence of any of what you said is true...... Most likely is not evidence....
Too bad all that technology was lost so quickly. We could have had colonies on Mars by now. Did God make him burn the blueprints?
There was not enough room on the ark for all the "kinds" let alone water and food. There's many "kinds" that eat a very limited if not single food source.
Also everything would've died since the flood killed everything so there would be nothing to eat. No plants for the herbivores and the gestation petiod is too long to feed the carnivores. Elephants alone need tons of food.
Anyone who believes in the ark myth simply did not do any math.
God provided in some way.
At the time of the flood the water was fresh then about 20 years later they became salty
So how did water based animals survive this change?
All these large animals blasting out methane would’ve killed everyone in no time……all these things required, literally impossible in so called Noah’s time . Hope those snakes weren’t poisonous……there is no end to the explanations that are beyond absurd ! This is emblematic of extreme gullibility ! Lots of ants for the anteaters, lol !
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Genesis 1:1-2 how long a span between verse 1:1-2 and verses following? no one on earth knows.???????????God bless,Matt.6:33,Prov.3:5
I wonder if God could have made some of them hibernate? Just a thought.
Highly intelligent people that lived nearly 1000 years must have been at least as technologically advanced as we are. Most likely a trivial problem for Noah.

Ark is secondary fictional thing, so wasn't a priority to mention... But ok, wooden ships in size like that can't survive open seas. Wooden ships would have started seriously rot at the bottom if it took 100'ish years for Noah to built it. Noah and his family would have never managed to build ship in size like that. Share amount of wood you would need is enough to realize that its just not doable by a single family without some funding on the side and bunch of slaves/workers helping out. Not even talking about general challenges in building wooden ships without any metal reinforcements... Was this enough objection or do you want more?
What is more interesting that you didn't object to what I said here, you just objected that I did not objected to some other fictional part from that story...
Even if this magical boat was 100x smaller, even if it wasn't about housing thousands of animals for entire year, that global flood is still just a fiction.
He went by Home Depot and bought a large storage tank.Then went to tractor supply and got some feed.and they all peed in a bottle have no idea where the 600 yr old man through it

Stone age thinking for a stone age Ark.
*You are going to open the roof with 5 miles of water is falling as rain? Going to use up the oxygen with candles & lamps with 7K plus animals on board??*
When it comes to water supply one has to realize that man suffered from that before the flood. The megalithic stone structures that were built before the flood clearly show man's ability to harvest what the Earth provided. The megalithic construction of man is what gave rise to the term "Stone Age", Noah built out of wood and was scoffed at those around him accused of being a fool for 70 years.
Since Noah's Flood is fantasy, Answers in Genesis can make up any nonsense theory that they want. I enjoy the stories of the Olympian Gods more, plus they predate Judiasm by well over a thousand years.
I'll just point out that all of these "explanations" are speculation based on nothing. In fact the bible says there was only one window, 20 inches square, and all of the inside and outside of the ark was coated in pitch. There is nothing in the bible about any aspect of the ark other than it's outer dimensions, coating of pitch inside and out, and one tiny window. In fact, it is a story that is exactly what you'd expect from a people who had no idea of what was actually required for such a vessel on such a voyage.
duh from the facet
@@stactionsmedia3318 how you're able to write 2 paragraphs in response to a JOKE is beyond me
the ark was inspired by God (JHWH) so what will u aspect my friends? HE knows all what human and animals needs in life.
Where did they get drinking water from LOL. that's the dumbest question I have ever heard. It rained 40 days STRAIGHT! I'm sure they collected water somewhere upon the ark & with all that fresh water pouring down I'm sure it stayed fresh around the ark for a long time afterward. And on top of everything else GOD WAS WITH THEM & GOD IS OUR PROVIDER OF EVERYTHING WE HAVE NEED OF!
Do you even grasp basic reality in how much water you would need for entire year for this magical boat filled to the brim with animals?... Hint: It's more than 2 buckets.
the waters they were on couldve been fresh theres a river in south america that runs into the ocean for 100 miles before it mixes the oceans we have now have more salinity they have more added every year theres answers to all your questions.@@Zripas
@@diamondlife-gi7hg
Will not even fact check about that 100 miles claim here, why you ask? Because its not even relevant. You had entire earth covered with water, so fresh and salt water had plenty of room to mix, on top of this, all this magical flood took entire year, so clearly it would have mixed in that time.
Next point. By killing every animal on entire planet you would have had bunch of floating dead corpses in the water, rotting away... How fresh would that have been?... Some salt and fresh water animals are extremely picky with water salinity, aka, change it by a bit and they are dead. having entire earth covered by extra fresh water on top of salt water you would atleast kill all fresh water animals and quite few from salt side, but with all dead copses more or less all would have died anyways.
Stop making excuses for most obvious fictional story from entire book, it did not happen... Not only that it could not have happen, but because we have actual evidence that it did not happen... Share fact that China civilization existed at that time and "surprisingly" it went through this all kill event without ever noticing it... Why? Did they forgot to read memo that they needed to die on thursday or something? At best you could claim that this magical flood was local and its entire meaning was completely different from what it was said in bible, but biblical global flood never happen, deal with that.

He collected water every time God made it rain after the flood,not very complicated
Except that it was raining for the first 40 days, after that, no rain for remaining year... So like... Where did this water came from? And you do understand that you would need daily rain to sustain all those thousands of animals?... Flood would have never ended at that rate....
@@Zripas did you write your own version of the bible? It truthfully does not mention if it rained every day after the flood for all we no.Since we are looking at the fact that this took place and that since then it has continued to rain now and forever,it's no stretch that he collected rain water in hollowed logs or collection containers.Since God skilled him in the making of the ark,God knew he would need water.And the fact that the story of the flood has reached us today is its own proof of the fact,if not there would have been no survivers,because they would have died in a few weeks tops without water.
@@Zripas Yes the rain stopped after 40 days, but the earth was covered in all that water for about an entire YEAR. I'm sure much of it was still FRESH water. I've heard that even today where fresh water rivers pour into oceans that the water stays fresh for many miles out in the ocean.
@@stactionsmedia3318 JESUS HIMSELF spoke of Noah & the flood. With man alone this would be impossible, but WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! Noah didn't have to be anything other than a man of God, God took care of the rest. It's not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit saith the Lord God.
@@billybob-ro6qf
That's not how reality works... You even debunked your own comment here by stating that fresh water remains for many miles, cool, many miles isn't the same as ENTIRE earth being covered with it for entire year... How many miles is that? Water animals/fish in majority of cases have specific requirement of waters saltines, aka how much salt there is in water to survive. Fresh water animals will not survive in ocean water and ocean animals will not survive in fresh water, by covering entire earth with extra fresh water on top of entire oceans you will have wild mix which is not suitable for both groups of animals which would result in mass extinction. This is not even debatable, ask any biologist and every single one will explain to you why global flood doesn't work to keep anyone alive.
God shrunk the animals and put them to sleep which solved the problem of food, water and waste management. Besides, god can make new animals any time he feels like it, cuz god can do anything. Ain't that right?
Yes but god said in the Bible you cannot know his mind so you can't say what you just did or else it is a sin.
But again, like virtually everything else on this channel. You state something couldn't be true because we don't evidence for it. Then, spend the entire remainder of the video saying this is how Noah did this, without having any textual evidence for it.
Opinion...opinion...opinion...
Storing water is quite easy.
Not for entire year and for thousands upon thousands (it would have been millions, but let's go with Noah fictional story) animals...
@@Zripas If I answered every one of your objections, would you come to Christ or look for more objections?
@@TickedOffPriest
Providing answer isn't actually proving it to be true. I can give answer to ANY question you can come up, will not really indicate that what I'm saying is actually a representation of reality.
But let's try it. What is your explanation in how Noah managed to store, safely, enough water for thousands of animals for entire year? Like for example, single elephant needs up to 100L of water per day, so you have 2 of those for more than 365 days. So lets say its 80L per elephant, so 2*80*365 = 55200 liters of water for 2 elephants.
By the way, while you provide answer for that, can you explain where exactly did fresh water animals lived? Like crocodiles, beevers, hippos and so on.
@@Zripas You are assuming adult elephants.
Even if the water did go bad, there is a lot water outside that can be boiled inside.
@@TickedOffPriest
Boiled inside? When you only have single window, you would create a fire inside wooden ship?... Can you even comprehend how much water you would need to boil for all those animals daily?...
And quite few animals grow up and reaches adulthood in less than a year.
So do you have a valid answer?
God used the Ark in the process of killing everything and everybody, including babies and children. I think it's a sad story :(
Biblically the flood wasn't global but regional around the black sea and persian gulf, the places destroyed must have been so evil that parents with babies and good people would leave the corrupt cities and would survive noahs flood.
But their god is so loving. Not a murderous, genocidal petty tyrant at all.
@@jasonaltig985 Being all loving doesn't mean never taking a form of justice.
@@noob8033_2 and you feel the Justice of slaughtering children is a good justice? A god who will eternally torture, or annihilate (depending on your belief) his “children” simply for not believing in him despite not providing evidence of “his” existence is a good and just god?
@@jasonaltig985 No he won't torture forever, I am Catholic but study the Bible a lot meaning that I have a different view on the Bible. I am going to answer two of your questions below this:
1: The chances of children dying under the flood are very very low since parents who would have not have been corrupt and evil would take their children away a move far away. (Note the flood was biblically regional) If children stayed in the horrible places they would be so traumatized that they would probably kill themselves anyway and since they were still young, it to a small purgatory for them.
2: After we die our soul isn't conscious. The soul is quantum information that only stays conscious when connected to the brain. Information cannot be destroyed and so after we die we aren't conscious. This is called in the Hebrew Bible "Sheol" and is mentioned 66 times. We know that the books of daniel and revelation are biblical but they accuracy is questionable. Daniel is just a copy of Isaiah and revelation talks about that particular time it was written. This is why we need to look at the other books like Psalms and even what Jesus said. Jesus and many early jews did belive in a sheol but also an afterlife. When the time is right, christ will come and create a new heaven here. The good and bad will rise from Sheol where they have been sleeping. After judgment the evil will go back to sheol (no afterlife) the middle will either feel all the pain they have done or just have to accept god quickly and will be purified. The good will stay on earth in new heaven where the Supreme being will modify physics and our body.
Note: it's kinda like "belive and be immortal or just have no afterlife 👍"
I think the sea was not salty yet so they can drink the water
You think, that's cool, but in reality it would have still been salty with bunch of dead bodies floating around. It would have been poisonous to any animal
They collected water from the outside, the water by then was not salty
Not salty? Why not? And if its no longer salty then every single fish in oceans died, so you would have had one big soup of rotten bodies in the thing you are picking water from... Not a good thing I might say...
Ha ha ha. How much dumber can this story get.
The Ark would have been floating in a sea of fresh-water miles deep.
This story is so full of holes that nothing floats.
99% of the crammed in animals would be dead in a week.
The God Culture videos prove The Ark of Noah landed at Himalayah mountains. Animals migrated to all parts of hinginentsefore in days of Peleg Genesis 10, the Uk was cut off from Eu, Australia from Indo etc. The length of pre flood human brings were 12ft. Thus the dimensions of the Ark were much larger, using your forearm ( el) as measure stick. Hibernation was a fact. No dinosaurs. All drowned. Most awesome event took place 4500 years ago!
