CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Should I keep quiet about it when someone asks how all those animals could fit aboard the Ark?
Or should I keep quiet about it when someone says all those animals couldn't have fit aboard the Ark?

Depends on your reason for putting yourself in the situation of having to provide an answer to the question in the first place, I suppose.
An honest 'I don't know' is probably the answer enquiring minds are seeking .. you can't rule out the possibility the question is aimed at probing your honesty (and thus your credibility).

But let me ask you this:
Knowing that there are eleven dimensions of space ... or even thinking there may be ... why would someone ask how all the animals fit aboard the Ark?
A more potent question:
Knowing (or suspecting) there are more than three dimensions of space, wouldn't it be disingenuous to say x,y, or z couldn't fit aboard the Ark?

I don't need Dr Who to figure this one out.
Albeit God gets the credit for opening my eyes to the fact that even scientists believe in more than three dimensions.

I think he's trying to explain that, if space is so big, why couldn't you stick a couple of elephants in the gaps between sub-atomic particles. By utilising this wasted space AV can fit anything and everything into the Ark.
I think he's come up with a brilliant hypothesis.

I'm not sure, to be honest.
But for those who swear by the town clock that three dimensions aren't, I would like to introduce them to what string theory can do for them.

Good question.
And for those who avoid the question mark like the plague and just affirm that all those animals couldn't possibly do so ... well ... I have to disagree with them.
Wouldn't you?

I give God the credit though.
