Hello people, I've decided to make a new post because I feel that it's good to have a discussion.
I'm sure that you are all aware of the bible story of Noah and the Ark that God commanded him to make and herd 2 of each animal onto the Ark, for God was to cleanse the world of sinners. But what's stricken me recently is when, Noah had to huddle on 2 of each species onto the ark so that when the waters cease, Noah can release the animals into the wild so that they can repopulate the plains. We all know that the Ark was ( after 40 days and 40 nights ) resting on the mountains of Ararat, but, was the flood global? if it was, then how do we explain the animals that are on Australia? such as the marsupials, the birds in the amazon , the polar bears in the cold climates of the world and many more.
If Noah did indeed rest the ark in Turkey, then how do you explain the animals on the other continents if Noah released the animals to the 1 continent. This never ever made sense to me, but I would appreciate some thought taken into this.
Thanks guys! Have a blessed day! )0(

Well I suggest.
1. I beleive that at the begining of creation the land was in unity. thats why the continents of today fits together.
2. this means that after the flood the animals could relocate if they didnt like an area.
3. Then an ice age must have happened to the earth due to the flood incident. which must have killed the dinosaurs and other creatures that failed to adapt.
4. there then had to be a continental drift mayb before or after the ice age (i Suppose after)
5. then life still went on after the ice age which lasted for some years

Species is based on Evolution - the Biblical Kind - Baramin would be 2 Cat like creatures, 2 dog like creatures etc
much less animals - all these animals would have the genetic variations we see today - once the flood ended - they theorize a global ice age - land bridges etc - be fruitful and multiply to the animals - natural selection as we see today - not in dealing with evolution - ice melts, animals trapped on continents easy peasy
Your suggestions imply one of two things:
1) The flood occurred millions of years ago which means humans have been around for that long.
or
2) The ice age and continental drift and diverse speciation all occurred within 100 thousand years and had rapid effects on the Earth.
Both situations seem to be contrary to scientific evidence.

You say that like you think Science is a neutral field of study. It's not. Everyone is biased to some degree by their worldview. Most of Science shares a worldview that there's no God and then they set about trying to prove it. Those who oppose this belief are often censored or fired from their position.
T
Because you say so?
It is referred to as 'flood', but you are correct on one thing; the whole of the surface of the globe was covered with water. That does not mean there wasn't earth (land) underneath those waters.
Why would that matter?
There is no "flood" associated with Genesis 1:1-2. What exactly was flooded? There was nothing but water. There was no land...
( not to mention, there was no sun or moon or stars either )

I agree most people have biases and presuppositions but evidence and facts are by definition neutral. Science doesn't care if there's a God, the observations remain the same regardless. Also scientists are NOT trying to prove there is no God because that is impossible .

All I know is the following...
1. The ark was real.
2. If it was found, it wont matter as the word of God overrides any experience and or any physical proof.
3. What ever evidence will be burnt to a crisp during the fiery wrath of God when he renovates by fire!
Whether or not the ark has been found is irrelevant to the grand scheme of things as God's plans and historical context will play out exactly as God has deemed it to. The truth as found in Genesis stands and you either believe it or you don't!

Well, yes, it's impossible to prove the metaphysical by scientific observance but many scientists still try to do anything to keep God out of the picture. Because we all know humans are supreme, yes?
Science is impartial to the ultimate cause or anything metaphysical. Even given that God is the cause for everything, you still need science to discover and describe HOW things interact in reality.
With scientific results you either find a natural explanation or you say there is no explanation at this time.
This does not exclude God it only means we have no way of knowing what is the ultimate cause.
This is why any person with any religious belief can be a scientist and get the same results, the bias comes out in the interpreting of the results.

Noah, his family and later their descendants probably used the wood from the Ark to create shelters and the like. If there was anything left after that, pieces were probably broken off and used as sacred relics. Also, wood breaks down over time and a few thousand years have passed since the Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
This is bad reasoning that leads to bad decisions. Why not trust your senses and observations and see if the word of God holds up? If it is correct then future discoveries will validate its claims.
Otherwise you are stating that you know the truth and nothing can be presented to prove you wrong.
This is the very essence of stubborn ignorance.
