Oh yes you are completely right.
Ill adjust the calculation on page 1 according to this. Thankyou! PS: nice avatar.

I don't understand why we are still talking about this. Christians donate billions of dollars each year to preachers and faith healers so people like Peter Popoff could live in a multi-million dollar mansion. Why not spend a fraction of that money and build an actual ark, put 2 animal of each "kind" on board, load it up with as much food and fresh water as possible, put a dozen or so christian volunteers in there, seal it up, and then open it after a year to see what's left? It's a relatively easy experiment to perform. I'm sure such a simple experiment will shut off the skeptics once and for all!

PS: nice avatar.
Thanks...

can it be that animals (and maybe humans) were in state of hibernation for most of the time on the ark? Also, why can't it be that animals were not full grown adults ?

Is there any evidence to support this, or is this just another in a long line of "what ifs" presented to rationalize the flood and ark stories. "What ifs" are not evidence, nor do they contradict existing evidence. They are simply unsupported questions. If you think suspended animation was involved, perhaps presenting some evidence would help convince others of your idea. Welcome! Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Why can't it be that the whole story (or stories since there are 2 Flood accounts woven into 1) is a work of fiction?

Thanks Peg.
I am using the explanation found on that page:
quote: I a have two questions: a) Do you agree with the above logic? If not, why not? b) Are you suggesting that "chistiananswers.net" is stating this so that they can sell something? I'm interested to know your explanation of their ulterior motive. Thanks

I'm interested to know your explanation of their ulterior motive. a) i dont agree with the above logic for the reason that dinosaur bones are regularly found in lower earth layers than are human bones, leading many to conclude that they belong to an earlier time period. 2ndly, it would be rather odd that a all wise creator would allow such a destructive species to live with us. I believe they had a purpose for a time and when that purpose was filled, they were destroyed. b) i was being facetious. I dont know if they have anything to sell lol

Not all animals hibernate (actually very few do) Many animals, even if they would have been babies when they came on the ark, would have been full grown or nearly full grown after the year or so on the ark. And that brings up another point - you do not just have to account for space for animals - you need to account for space for food also. Not to mention the labor needed to feed and water all of those animals and remove their waste. 8 people did this? I don't think so. Also if young animals were chosen, why wasn't this mentioned in God's instructions to Noah? Seems like a fairly critical detail to go unmentioned.

it would be rather odd that a all wise creator would allow such a destructive species to live with us. What makes you think dinos were any more destructive then bunnies or weavels? Genesis 2 17 But of the ponderosa pine, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt sorely learn of thy nakedness. 18 And we all live happily ever after.

And I have a nice bumpersticker that reads: Archaeologists Assume Superposition Perfectly straightforward statement but I get odd looks and an occasional snicker. Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.

Would everyone please not head off discussing geology here. Thanks.
However a discussion of superposition would make a fine topic of it's own.

their sheer size would make them destructive
there would be competition for food issues with other smaller animals do you really think we could live with a trex? Please tell me you dont believe that. Edited by Peg, : No reason given.
