    Defending the flood

    http://www.evolutionisdead.com/forum...opic.php?t=355

    Some amusing replies on this thread. Dinosaurs on the ark!

    It would be interesting to work out how many cubic meters of food would be required to keep the animals on the ark fed. I think it may exceed the vessels entire capacity.

    God changed the animals' metabolism or something

    I saw this great video on YouTube filmed in the creationist museum in the states. The museum purports to have a Godly explanation as to why similar animals were found all over the world. During the flood, a great many trees were uprooted and acted as rafts, carrying animals (and plants) across the ocean.
    There was even a swirling-logs-in-the-sea graphic to illustrate it. It was so ridiculous it had a kind of poetry to it.

    It's about 1 minute 15 seconds into this video:

    Hilarious. Yet other anti-evolutionists are equally convinced that animals couldn't possibly have been carried by floating vegetation from one land mass to another in the remote past (ie more than six thousand years ago)...

    Do'h! Why didn't I think of that?

    Ok then, Lucifer Advocatus*

    Kangaroos are only known in Australia and New Guinea. Did Noah travel all the way from the middle east to collect these marsupials and then travel all the way back post flood to return them to their correct geographical location? Did Noah do this for all region specific animals?
    Explain away that one.8)


    *Yeah, I know. My latin is non gratum anus rodentum.

    Well, of course he did. How else would that have happened?

    Like a lot of religious nonsense, it is like a lie that gets out of control. You start with a statement designed to create a sense of awe in the followers. Then some people get a bit more intelligent and start asking awkward questions. So you embellish the story and make it a bit more complex to get rid of those objections. Then some people go 'hey, wait a minute' and come up with some more objections to the complexities you've introduced. So you invent some more back story etc etc etc.

    And on you go, and if you are really lucky you end up with something like the Catholic Church. Limbo anyone?

    I wouldn't limbo if I were you, it's a seriously dangerous sport. Last time I saw someone limbo they ended up in hospital with a dislocated knee.
