How would one go about fitting several millions of species into the ark as it is described in Genesis?
How Many Species? A Study Says 8.7 Million, but It’s Tricky

By CARL ZIMMERAUG. 23, 2011

In the foothills of the Andes Mountains lives a bat the size of a raspberry. In Singapore, there’s a nematode worm that dwells only in the lungs of the changeable lizard.

The bat and the worm have something in common: They are both new to science. Each of them recently received its official scientific name: Myotis diminutus for the bat, Rhabdias singaporensis for the worm.

These are certainly not the last two species that scientists will ever discover. Each year, researchers report more than 15,000 new species, and their workload shows no sign of letting up. “Ask any taxonomist in a museum, and they’ll tell you they have hundreds of species waiting to be described,” says Camilo Mora, a marine ecologist at the University of Hawaii.

A guy who painted a book about it said: I bet there were more than 2 flees on that boat.

No, I was not taught that the story of Noah and the ark was untrue. I wonder how all the animals managed to fit in. It's an interesting conundrum.
That's why the dinasours became extinct .. they were to big to fit on the ark ... ark ark ark

There is evidence to suggest they never existed - or never existed as they are portrayed in movies and museums.

Nearly all the bones you will see at museums are plaster casts, they will not show you real full dinosaur skeleton bones. Too delicate, they will say - but there is no way for anyone to test that what they represent as casts is the complete truth.

Many dinosaurs you see (as casts) are merely the imagination of a paleontologist who is only working with a few small bones - extrapolating a full frame based on them alone. They want you to believe they can find a collar bone or a jaw bone and magically put together an entire skeleton from it. They can't.

Most dino discoveries came in the 1800's, when the evolutionary model was gaining momentum. Large and significant finds were just coincidentally found by opposing heads of two different museums, who's entire business model depended on dinosaur finds and exhibits. This obviously begs the question of why monetarily disinterested humans had not been finding them periodically or regularly for hundreds/thousands of years before this.


Creationists have to come up with "work arounds" (such as baby dino's on the ark), or that they weren't included in "every pair" (making the flood story part lie by their reckoning) - simply because they have never questioned the validity of the information we are sold on dinosaurs. Like the Globe - it's one of the things ingrained into us as children as "scientific and undeniable fact", and part of Western Societies regular entertainment. Dig a little deeper - and it's easy to show the foundation of this "fact" is not so solid.

I just woke from a nap but I think I over slept so now I am feeling kind of uncoordinated and dopey .... I might have some tomatoes and crackers as a wake up meal though it is too late to consider it breakfast

Do you think there really was a wooden ark filled with two of every kind of animal and seven of every kind of "clean" animal? It seems like it would be hard to fit several million different kinds of animals into a wooden boat.

I wonder why Noah didn't just swat the two mosquitoes and save future generations endless problems.

I shifted somewhere north of 300lb of trash from my attic, shed and garage into the car, then took it to the dump. I had planned to do some wiring this afternoon but fell asleep instead. My body periodically reminds me I'm not 25 any more...

Then I saw a good deal on lawn mowers, and I need a mower, so I went out to get one. And I might have accidentally picked up some wiring supplies while I was there...

My body gives me that age reminder from time to time too!! I have so much motivation though!

Time to get the new lawn mower assembled. This is the bit where I hope I didn't already use my gas can... hate the useless attachments to it that make it impossible to use.

Well. It isn't gopher wood . I don't know how accurate it is. It has to be mostly speculation. The artwork is cool.
I liked the ice age exhibit.
They are building the 4th deck which would be an exhibition deck I think.
