The purpose was to allow God's chosen DNA to continue during the flood.
Only the animals that would not survive the flood were chosen by God
for the voyage. Even then it was a symbolic gesture becasue he could
have saved them all on a island if He chose. God likes symbolism.

It is always interesting to see how believers in the myths of the Bible reinterpret the Bible when even they can see that a literal reading leads to disaster.

Wrong again. You do not even seem to know what "circular reasoning" is.

When you are ready to learn I am ready to help you. Since you don't know what is and what is not evidence why don't we start your lesson there? Or are you still afraid to learn?

I know what circular reasoning is. It is accepting God's Word based on God's Word. It's the SAME with godless evolution. We are asked to accept this thinking because other godless evols AGREE with the false theory. When you ask for actual evidence of this event, some evols call you names and imply that you are uneducated. It helps hide their willing ignorance of the Truth. 2Pe 3:5 The only thing they will accept is the word of another evol believer. Such arrogance is rampant.

I already have and have moved on to other topics.

When you are ready to learn I am ready to help you.

Sure you have BUT you find it impossible to tell the Truth about the issue. IF you could ever have refuted me, either Scripturally, scientifically or historically, you would post proof of your refute instead of hiding and claiming to have moved on. The only person fooled is yourself. God Bless you

If the animals already here could produce children with those on the Ark, then what was the point of bringing any animals on the Ark? What purpose did it serve?

And since you ignored the content of my question, here it is again.

Which animals, specifically, were on this earth and which did Noah bring with him? Don't just say dinosaurs, we have lots of other fossils. I'm looking for specifics. Were lions here but tigers came with Noah? What about marsupials? Did kangaroos come with Noah but possums lived here already?

It was the SAME point in God The Trinity creating other animals Eternally. Gen 1:21 He loves the innocent animals He created. I answered your question but you didn't like my answer. His kinds are temporary but Their kinds are Eternal.

You are half right. What you do is circular reasoning. And you can't even support your claim that the Bible is "God's Word".

The theory of evolution has been tested countless times. It is not based upon circular reasoning.

Your Bible warns you not to test it because even back when it was written the authors knew that their ideas would not hold up. If an idea is true it should welcome testing. Strangely you won't find that in the Bible at all.

1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

Now please, you should never ever make such claims about someone else. Do not make any more such false claims about me.

I refuted your rather ridiculous claims many times. So have others. You won't bother to try to learn.

When you are ready to learn I will gladly help you.

So what? There is no reason to think that is talking about the Bible. If you want to claim that the Bible is the "Word of God" you need to do a lot better than that. The countless errors, bad morals, self contradictions etc. in the Bible clearly tells us it is not the "Word of God". You are insulting your own God when you make that claim.

If the Bible and the Word of God are two different things, show them to me please.

If God exists, then show him to me please.

I am not the one claiming that the Bible is the word of God. Christians are the ones that keep doing that. That puts the burden of proof upon them.

I already explained the problems with making that claim. You tend to claim that God lied to excuse some of the problems in the Bible. That really does not help your case.

Of course your attempt to shift the burden of proof indicates that you know that you have nothing.

He's invisible.

1 Timothy 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

I know you're not -- I am.

If you say It isn't, show me the two separately; or your chatter don't matter.

You're good. But that was my point. I can never show you that the word of God differs from the Bible because I do not have such a Word to present to you.

Yes they do. Butt I'm having trouble finding divine bookstores.
Okay ... so I'm sorry if this sounds crass, but I get the impression you wouldn't recognize the Word of God if you walked right past It.

Is that right? or am I wrong?

Wrong. If the word of God came to me, I would know. Unless God is a deceiver...
