- einrobstein, on 05/26/2009, -33/+132How do you make a replica of something that never existed?
- trucanadian, on 05/25/2009, -9/+89Doesn't look full-size to me. The ark would have had to been the size of Manhattan to hold 2 of every animal in the world at the time of Noah.
- zuiquan, on 05/25/2009, -8/+68Don't you understand magic, er, I mean God? Stop applying logic to faith, it makes people's brains hurt.
- Flashtone, on 05/26/2009, -0/+49you ever watch starwars?
- Khast, on 05/26/2009, -3/+40Most zoos are bigger than the Ark supposedly was...and most zoos don't even have 1% of the total number of species which exists.
They would have had to play tetris with all the animals....They learned that didn't work, when the unicorns, dragons and dinosaurs just vanished. /s - tmyprod, on 05/26/2009, -3/+35Not even just 2 of each animal. You've got to store the food to feed them for however long they were afloat.
And how would you build the damn thing? The middle east isn't exactly know for its lush and abundant forests.
And how does one go about rounding up two of each animal. How the ***** did Noah get Polar Bears? - inactive, on 05/26/2009, -6/+31I'm laughing my ass off at the guy talking in this video. Noah's Ark stands for love, care and peace? You know the story is about god killing almost everything on earth because they were worshiping the wrong god, right?
- misreto, on 05/26/2009, -3/+27Now tell me this. Does that look like it can hold over 10 to 101 Million different species of animals!?
- sepelester, on 05/25/2009, -3/+26But does it have unicorns?
- Diggnabbit, on 05/26/2009, -1/+22No. The unicorns weren't on the ark. That's why they're extinct now. Duh!
- HollowNuke, on 05/26/2009, -5/+26There are so many holes in the Ark's story that it just doesn't float.
Enjoy some science: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-noahs-ark.html - lepetitmousse, on 05/26/2009, -1/+21do you have any idea how many kinds of animals there are?
- publiclurker, on 05/26/2009, -1/+21How about fish. That much rain would have diluted the salinity of the oceans to the point that none of the salt water fish would survive.
And, if you want to say all this water somehow was salty, then you have the same problems with the fresh water ones. - Khast, on 05/26/2009, -2/+21Genesis 6:15 "And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits."
450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high. (1 cubit = 18" )
That could've EASILY fit every "kind" of animal on the whole planet. /s - banderwocky, on 05/25/2009, -0/+19Not a very exciting ride...
- JoeHague, on 05/26/2009, -1/+18I'm going to book a trip to go see this/
I'm thinking late December 2012 - CrazyChair, on 05/26/2009, -1/+18If the story was true, it really makes god an *****. He kills many innocent people including every child on earth as his lazy way to "cleanse" the world. Then Noah and his family incest their way to repopulating the earth.
- inactive, on 05/26/2009, -0/+17It's stupid and contradictory.
It's also a total rip-off of the tale of Gilgamesh. Seriously, the Bible rips off the Noah story from Gilgamesh, a legend at least a thousand years older. - generalalcazar, on 05/26/2009, -1/+17I like how it is raining in the video.
- mGARANDEUR1, on 05/26/2009, -0/+16ba zing....
- scy1192, on 05/26/2009, -0/+16you're tens of comments too late
- intthis, on 05/26/2009, -2/+17does that include the dinosaurs?
- inactive, on 05/26/2009, -3/+18But that was a documentary.
- JigoroKano, on 05/26/2009, -1/+15According to the bible, Yahweh murdered babies and children because of the sins of their parents, not only in the Flood but also in at least 3 other situations.
So seriously, ***** your god. Even if he existed, he would be worthy of nothing but scorn. - GoKings, on 05/26/2009, -3/+17Big enough for two of every animal to fit on!
/s - Metalcard, on 05/26/2009, -1/+15Seems kinda weird to put a metaphoric story in the middle of a bunch of literal ones, unless the others are metaphoric as well, in which case you can make any story mean just about anything you want and can be changed at any moment because it will have 'many meanings' which is crap.
- spongya77, on 05/26/2009, -0/+14Freeze-dry, and pulverize the animals. This way they can fit into small glass vials. Also, no problem with feeding, cleaning and diseases.
As soon as the flood is over, add water :) - inactive, on 05/26/2009, -1/+15Tell that to the crazy fundies and see what kind of reaction you get.
- Knowa22, on 05/25/2009, -2/+15I like how the tiger replicas were walking out of the ark right next to some yummy herbivores which had apparently NOT been eaten during the voyage....
- mrawl, on 05/26/2009, -8/+20How incredibly sad.
- bk1808, on 05/26/2009, -4/+16Think about the money the Chinese wasted on this that could have been spent removing lead from all the products we buy from them
- r0g3r, on 05/26/2009, -1/+13Forests or not there's only so big a wooden keeled ship can be and still be seaworthy....and it's nowhere near the size the ark would have to have been.
- Disgod, on 05/26/2009, -1/+12Well if you want to take the bible as written by god then you've got a big ol'e problem because it would mean it was lying it's ass off. There is not a single shred of evidence ANYWHERE on Earth which supports the biblical flood. No geologic or biological evidence. The flood goes against EVERYTHING known about biology, anthropology, physics, chemistry, geology, oceanography, and the rest of modern science. The biblical flood is fiction and not even new fiction, as Warty said, the bible ripped off the Epic of Gilgamesh.
Even if we were to take the flood as a given, which is ridiculous, the very act of the necessary amount of water falling onto the Earth would BOIL the oceans and sterilize the planet. Noah and the animals would have been baked alive in the ark. - alpha88, on 05/26/2009, -1/+11To be a "replica", it does have to exist. A replica implies a copy or recreation of something that has already existed.
- publiclurker, on 05/26/2009, -1/+10I hope you are joking, because otherwise, going from one of every kind (whatever made up definition you want to use to make everything fit), to the current number of species in less than 6000 years (I'm assuming you are a young earther in order to have such a bad grasp of reality) would require a burst of evolution that defied the imagination.
- Nysul, on 05/26/2009, -0/+9You don't need 2 of every animal, like maybe a couple of monkeys, dogs, cats, and horses. The reptiles, insects, and birds will sort themselves out. Everything else can be formed by mating the monkeys, dogs, cats, and horses to form hybrid species, like the platypus.
- Pinkertinkle, on 05/26/2009, -2/+11The bible also speaks of an onboard microbiology lab with two of each sexually reproducing microorganisms and one of each asexually reproducing microorganism.
- chinaman1212, on 05/26/2009, -1/+10ding!
finger on nose - gemlarin, on 05/26/2009, -0/+9Christians attest to a 6000 year old earth and you are calling atheists ignorant? Really?
Also, I thought Christians are supposed to bring people to their "flock" though peace. love, and understanding. You are really representing Christian values so well by calling people ignorant. - zuiquan, on 05/26/2009, -1/+9I think we need to look no further than "Fringe" when we're trying to figure out how this was possible. See, Noah1 took a ***** on his big boat on Earth1, Noah2 took a ***** of different animals on Earth2, and so on and so forth and God said it was good. Then after the flood, Noah1 went to all the other Earths and stole their ***** animals and kicked all the other Noahs in the taint as well. That's why we've got all the animals on Earth1 and all those other Earths can suck it. Because our Noah is hard and their Noahs are soft like 4 year old girls.
Thank you JJ for giving me the key to figuring all this ***** out. - tmyprod, on 05/26/2009, -3/+11Let's see... Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. hmm, don't see KIND here anywhere.
- takamalak, on 05/26/2009, -1/+9Define "kind".
- isny, on 05/26/2009, -1/+9That's what they said about the Tardis.
- the2989, on 05/26/2009, -0/+7yeah you did. dig through the comments under the 3rd main comment of this story (by trucanadian).
BTW, you're gonna lol. - publiclurker, on 05/26/2009, -0/+7So they made an accurate reproduction or a parable? I think you need to go back to the drawing board on that one.
- Shmebber, on 05/26/2009, -0/+7You're a bit late, we've been going at it for a while now.
- ZeeZee2k, on 05/26/2009, -0/+7They had 2 unicorns, but one of them was gay...
- cmyk, on 05/26/2009, -2/+9But did they replicate the smell?
- GoKings, on 05/26/2009, -1/+8"There are so many holes in the Ark's story that it just doesn't float."
Oh I see what you did there... - publiclurker, on 05/26/2009, -0/+6I think they were in the CD attached to the front cover.
