I am appalled that the voting is this close.
Hundreds of acres of land to stage the animals
Hundreds of tons of food (every day) to bring in and tons of excrement (every day) to cart out
Millions of species, most of which do not want to be right next to the other... Fights, escapes,
panics, mating riots... Read just one of Gerald Durrell's many books on collecting live animals and
you'll see the disaster this would have turned out to be.
It's an exaggeration of something like three guys on a raft with a goat. |

It's just a story. Besides, why would god kill millions of people? It just doesn't seem like the god
that the church teaches. The church teaches that god loves us. If he did, then why would he drown
millions of people? |

As I do not believe in God, then yes,
I believe that it is fictional |

The fable of "Noah's ark" is a retelling of a story from ancient Babylon, about king Atrahasis.
But then, every story in buybull mythology is borrowed from earlier religions:
- The word "christ" or "christos" in Greek, is a perversion of the name of "Krishna", the Hindu
god.
- The "ten commandments" fable is a direct ripoff of the tale of Gilgamesh, Marduk, and the Code Of
Hammurabi.
- The myth of "moses" is stolen from the factual story of Ramses (a baby found floating on the Nile
and raised to be king of Egypt).
- The mythical "jesus" is a ripoff of more than dozen "saviours" from mythologies more than 2000
years old: Krishna, Mithras, Osiris, etc. There were SIXTEEN mythical "saviours" before the jesus
myth was invented.
And so on. Everything in Christianity is stolen from pre-existing religions, especially the myth of
noah.
I forgot! Not only the above, but consider this:
(1) The fictional "ark" is a stationary object almost 200 metres long on a 2000 metre tall mountain,
and it cannot be located using satellites and other technology.
(2) Asteroids in the asteroid belt, over 100 million kilometres away and travelling at 10,000
kilometres per hour, can be individually identified by satellites. Many of the asteroids are as
small as 10 metres long.
Scientists cannot find what does not exist. The ark is a myth.

I actually had an argument with a Jehovah's Witness about this and he was convinced it had happened.
His reason that it was possible was because the boat was big, about 450 feet long and that there
weren't millions of species just around 400 types. His logic was you didn't need all the species of
monkeys, for example, just one type that the other types came from. (Evolution?).
When I still queried how they all fitted on, he said some were eggs! He was serious.
He also told me that the majority of dinosaurs were vegetarian and had been put on the earth to
clear the vegetation out of the way for the coming of man. I shut the door.............. |

I wonder how many people on the right column are religious because they chose to be or because they
follow their parents beliefs. My grandparents are catholic my mother had to go to a catholic school
all the way through to middle school and she decided that religion was fictional. And I too am
Agnostic. Now at the same time I will not say that if my mother had decided to follow the catholic
faith that i would not be catholic. I recently went to a friend's mother's funeral and they had the
whole religious thing going on with asing into the next life and times of healing. I realized that
religion isn't all bullshit, and I scold myself for believing so previously. There are a lot of good
morals that many religions promote. But as for bible stories I believe that nearly all of the are
fictional. Without undeniable proof there is only theory. Religion unfortunately is just one of
those theories.....Now as for Noah, maybe somewhere on this earth when that story was written there
was a huge flood and it wiped out most of a city and one crazy dude thought he might save life's
existence by building an ark maybe not even a large ark, told all the people in town that he was
going to get to of all animals and upon the end of the flood people wrote stories of Noah and his
ark which came to be what it is today...But simply believing something because it has been written
down and read by millions does not make sense. Right now I could go out and tell people that The
moon farted created Earth and everything in it and that is how earth was created and I bet you that
someone out there in this world will believe it right it down in a book and maybe some tribe in a
foreign country will practice a religion that worships the moon......That is all that the Prophet
Mohammad did and Islam is one of the most widely practiced religions in the world. If one person
creates a story and others feel it explains there existence and how they feel about life then you
have the foundation of a religion that can spread into many small tales and stories which people
will believe such such as Noah's Ark. To the people to the right --------------->It is time to get
real and ask ourselves if you can truly think for yourself on religion or have our parents decided
for you and you have never contested there beliefs

So for all of you quoting the bible, I would like to know how you explain the 30 million different
species on Earth. If Noah didn't pack them up on his Ark then surly evolution had a role in their
creation. Either way it contradicts your literal translation of the bible and fervent disbelief of
Evolution. You can't have it both ways, sorry.
Also, during the time of the "global" flood man had no concept of the vastness of the Earth so how
could anyone possibly know that there was a global flood in a time when everyone still believed the
world was flat? |

Of course it didn't happen, it's a fairy tale like everything else in the Bible. Every shred of
evidence we have shows conclusively that a worldwide flood couldn't possibly have happened and even
the most cursory evaluation of the story in the Bible demonstrates that the whole concept of the ark
is ludicrous.
But to a true believer, no matter how idiotic the idea is, they'll cling to it desperately because
they're intellectually incapable of admitting that their most cherished beliefs are complete BS. |

If it did happen, which of course it didn't, why did Noah save the blo ody wasp? How did he tell a
female hamster from a male one? How did he stop the Tigers and Lions ragging the wildebeest and
Gazzells? No I am starting to think this Bible is made up. |

It's in the Bible - it probably didn't happen. |

When looking at the Bible, I see a piece of literature just like any other book I would read. I do
not consider the majority of content within the Bible to be literal in any way, as many of the
concepts and ideas within the book seem very metaphorical to me. Also, in order for someone to
assume that the story of Noah's Ark was not fictional, they must first assume that the global
catastrophe associated with the Biblical references even occurred to begin with, which present day
evidence clearly does not support. With that said, there is not a single piece of archaeological,
geological, or historical evidence supporting the idea that a global flood occurred anytime within
the recent past. |

It was a real ark and a literal flood. Here is a link to help you better understand how it
happened.

also, there are many, many different flood stories from the ancient world that parallel the Bible's
account of it. |

During the age of Noah, there wasn't as many species as there is today. Take a mule for instance,a
mule is the product of breeding a horse with a donkey. Mules cannot reproduce. Today's species are
the many centuries of cross breeding, whether natural or by humans making it happen. |

Something may have happened that was exaggerated to a huge proportion. Most legends are based in
something. |
