My Ark Challenge

[Kylie]

If I remember him correctly, he agreed that it was the tomb that is considered to be occupied by Jesus Christ at one time.

So? Two people agreeing on something doesn't make it true...

Then let him get his $800.00 back if he can.

I think you missed the point.

It was a once in a lifetime trip all over Israel. Priceless to me really. And Jesus was right, not one stone left on top of the other from the 2nd temple.

Were you warned about pick-pocketers before you walked the Via Dolorosa?

And Jesus was right, not one stone left on top of the other from the 2nd temple.

I know.

 

[Colter]

I know.

Not on the Via Dolorosa, but on the Mt of Olives yes. More cats than troubled youth.View media item 59327

More cats than troubled youth.

Well, it is the land of "milk and honey."

If the Ark story is true as documented:

1. What made it seaworthy?

2. How did all those animals fit on it?

3. How did all those animals get to the Ark?

4. What did all those animals eat for a year?

5. How did all those animals get back to their respective ecological niches?

6. Where is the Ark today?

7. Shouldn't we all be inbred depressed?

#1. Godly design.
#2. Tightly packed like sardines.
#3. One word: Bait.
#4. Hopefully it wasn't any part of Noah or the boat!
#5. On either two or four legs, assuming they weren't snakes.
#6. Certainly not on Mt. Ararat in Turkey.
#7. Quite a few people today take anti-depressants.

 

[Kylie]

#1. Godly design.

Then why need Noah at all?

#2. Tightly packed like sardines.

And how did they survive that?

#3. One word: Bait.

And exactly what bait was used to get kangaroos from Australia to the Middle East?

#4. Hopefully it wasn't any part of Noah or the boat!

This doesn't actually answer the question. You can't give us a joke and hope we'll forget about it.

#5. On either two or four legs, assuming they weren't snakes.

This is not sufficient to answer the question. Why are there no remains of sloths on their way back to South America? How did they manage the water crossing?

#6. Certainly not on Mt. Ararat in Turkey.

Not on the moon either, but this does not answer the question.

#7. Quite a few people today take anti-depressants.

Again, this is avoiding the question.

LOL! God gave man a sense of humor in order to tolerate some of the stories holy men invent for their holy books!

Tolerate the heresy … right?

 

[Colter]

Tolerate the heresy … right?

Well no, It was the church that invented heresy so that when they were challenged about what they wrote they could rationalize murder and banishment.


"While personal religion precedes the evolution of human morals, it is regretfully recorded that institutional religion has invariably lagged behind the slowly changing mores of the human races. Organized religion has proved to be conservatively tardy. The prophets have usually led the people in religious development; the theologians have usually held them back. Religion, being a matter of inner or personal experience, can never develop very far in advance of the intellectual evolution of the races." UB 1955

Good points, but I don't think the dude was being serious.
Well, I hope so at least, otherwise my head is going to hurt for a week due to the many facepalms.

But I'm fairly certain he was joking.

But yeah, it's hard to tell on this site sometimes.

Did you ever get your $800.00 back?

Oh look, the new revelation Jesus sent.

I'm sure He wouldn't have touched it.

 

[Colter]

Did you ever get your $800.00 back?

I'm sure He wouldn't have touched it.

Why would I want to get my money back? It’s the land where Jesus overcame the anti-Christ? It was like visiting the Hollywood set of the Israelites movie but where the real life documentary of Jesus occurred.

The mud bath in the Dead Sea was priceless!

I was joking. Nobody will ever know the answers, although I'm sure some theories could postulate how it might have been accomplished.

It's all a matter of faith, which is what Christianity is based upon. Even if the Ark were to be found and it could be determined how/what all was loaded, what does it prove? Its not going to change what people want to believe or how they behave.

Oh, dear.

You mean overcame Satan?

If the Ark story is true as documented:

As other posters have pointed out the answer to most of your questions is magic. But:
6. The Bible says where it turned up. There is no credible evidence of it today (some idiocy about what look like rock formations).
7. Yes.

An article about a recent paper: What’s the Minimum Number of People you Should Send in a Generational Ship to Proxima Centauri?
The answer is that 32 or less leads to a genetically unhealthy crew at the destination.

There is no evidence of any human population bottleneck corresponding to the Ark even if it carried thousands of people or a genetically health number.

 

[AV1611VET]

As other posters have pointed out the answer to most of your questions is magic.

And they're wrong.

Magic is forbidden.

But:

6. The Bible says where it turned up.

I know It does: in the mountains of Ararat.

That's why I asked where it is today.

There is no credible evidence of it today (some idiocy about what look like rock formations).

Either that, or Noah dismantled it to make his homestead.

7. Yes.

And does the fact that we aren't tell you that God had something to do with it?
