animals on the ark

Or possibly not simply intuitively known previously as it's highly likely that God and Adam communicated more than is reported in the Bible. The skills of growing crops are somewhere later said to have been learned from God as I recall, implying that all kinds of necessary knowledge was learned directly from Him.

Exactly! Doubters might point to the inhabitants of the pre-colonized Americas as people who never heard of the bible or god yet somehow managed to learn how to farm. What they missed is that Jesus did come to the Americas and even left another version of the bible for later generations to find. We now know them as Mormons.

Isn't it obvious what happened? The Ark flew around the earth at near lightspeed and thus they didn't need to feed the animals! When they came back to normal speed the flood was over - it was only about an hour to them.

You do realise you've just come up with an explanation that is better than most (any?) of those used by the YECs!?

I must admit that this is the first time the thought of using time dilation to explain the flood story has ever been presented to me. And yes, I agree that this is probably the best explanation for the flood story yet.

Now all we have to do is find out how Noah got the Ark moving so fast without destroying it. Directed Sauropod farts perhaps?

Isn't it obvious that God gave Noah warp drive technology?

The idea that 8 people could care for thousands of different "kinds" of animals on a big boat with no steering during a flood that was supposed to be rearranging all the worlds geology is so silly that it would be totally laughable if their weren't some people who are so gullible as to take it seriously.

Hey, don't laugh! Some of these people are your parents, your brothers and sisters, your friends, your wife/husband, your teachers, and even me (once upon a time at least).I've been trying for years to figure out how such a fairy tale could have been believed by otherwise bright minded people for ages. Until then, we have to assume that either most of the people in the world are complete idiots or there is something hypnotizing about this story.
