/In regards to Noah's Ark

THE THING WAS A GIANT SPEHSS SHIP WITH ITS OWN ECOSYSTEMS BECAUSE IT WAS SO DAMN MASSIVE AND BIG AND SPEHSS

Thinking about it, I realize that any such ship would have to be approximately one........Earth.

You could get by with a smaller one, as long as it was properly maintained. I mean look at the various Closed Eco systems that we've done so far. It's just that the smaller a system is, the more micromanagement it requires and the more prone it is to destabilization.

People talking about how the bide is impossible
you do know tyhat in order to take the bible as truth in the first place you have to acapt the idea of a god who is all powerful in which case all of these "problmes" would not be problems

you cant just take the "parts we cant do" and ingore the base idea thta God can do anything, thats not how the bible is meant to be take, now before you say it I'm not saying you HAVE to belive in god, just if you dont anyways then looking at the bible serves no pupours when it comes to "debunking it" as even the bible cites all theser things to god

[Karnewarrior]

Ok, one second.

PROCESSING...

Alright. You make a valid point, though it's wrong as we're discussing this from a mostly atheist or deistic viewpoint.

However, there are several arguments against God being truely "all-powerful". One particularly pervasive bit of Fanon (Not sure if it's actually in the bibel, though most things from Dante's Inferno are taken to be canon) states that Satan managed to shake his throne, implying some limit to his power. If he really is all powerful, why did Satan get a opportunity to trick Eve against Gods will? And if it was Gods will that Adam and Eve partake of the Fruit, why not just tell them to do it once and then say, "k guys I'm going to plop you down on Earth for a bit it's gonna suck but you're still cool wit me"?

God is either Limited or Illogical.

A piece of advice:
People will be much more likely to listen to what you say if you use capital letters and periods. Apostrophes and other proper spelling will also help, and personally I always suggest running anything you type through a spell-checker if you don't already have one present on your computer.

Well, that's now God-canon. Earth is Noah's Ark and old Earth was obliterated. Saucy.

Book: What are we up to, sweetheart?
River: Fixing your Bible.
Book: I, um... What?
[Pan over to River, who works on a book with pens, brushes, and loose pages.]
River: Bible's broken. Contradictions, false logistics... doesn't make sense.
Book: No, no. You—you can't...
River: So we'll integrate non-progressional evolution theory with God's creation of Eden. Eleven inherent metaphoric parallels already there. Eleven. Important number. Prime number. One goes into the house of eleven eleven times, but always comes out one. Noah's ark is a problem.
Book: Really?
River: We'll have to call it "early quantum state phenomenon". Only way to fit 5,000 species of mammals on the same boat.
. . .
Book: River, you don't... fix the Bible.
River: It's broken. It doesn't make sense.
Book: It's not about... making sense. It's about believing in something. And letting that belief be real enough to change your life. It's about faith. You don't fix faith, River. It fixes you.

BUT GOD WANTS A BIOSPHERE

[pisskop]

Hence 'faith', the idea God is greater than mortal logic.

[Descan]

Unsatisfactory!

[Helgoland]

Meh, it's enough for some.

[10ebbor10]

What's up with the atheistic elithism anyway?

Why does all faith have to be naive, stupid, archaic nonsense just because that's what you believe it to be.

[Descan]

Because... That's what it's believed to be? Uh, you just answered your own question. Especially with faith, which is just about belief.

So I go into the kitchen to eat nom some spaghetti, when suddenly an ad for a romantic comedy with Jesus as the main lead on TV.
