I don't Noah the answer to your questions, but I'm pretty sure he brought along 2 red herrings.
Heaven is no more than a carrot on a string at the end of a tunnel; Hell is no more than a gunbarrel at the back of your head.  When we are good people for the sake of being good people, we\'ll have no further use for religion.

Here's a simple question to put your Biblical knowledge to the test. But don't worry, you don't have to go to church or temple every day of the week to get it right: How many of each kind of animal did Moses bring on his ark?


Mary's mother has four children: April, May, June and …?

Who gives a fuck? Magic babies with super powers is still a stupid claim and human flesh does not survive rigor mortis.

You can go to the movies and see Superman fly around New York city, but because the city is real doesn't make magic real.

Sorry to spoil your fun, just had to put that out there.

You didn't figure out the fourth kid was Mary I take it?

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how he got two Kangaroo's.  Did they fly, or swim?
Freedom is Free.  It\'s included in Democracy.  Democracy is Hard.  It involves coexisting with people who think that sayings like "Freedom is not Free" actually makes some kind of sense.

Maybe he made a pitstop in Australia?

Christian sites generally go with 1) the Earth's geography was very different in those days (maybe Australia was landlocked or something?) 2) God made the animals come to Noah somehow.  Magic.

I'm sure they could explain how Missouri got a thousand feet of solidified plankton excrement, aka limestone, during the flood, right?

I asked my Sunday school teacher how one breeding pair didn't result in fatal genetic bottlenecks.

She told me I should not take it so literally.
A cynical habit of thought and speech, a readiness to criticise work which the critic himself never tries to perform, an intellectual aloofness which will not accept contact with life’s realities â€" all these are marks, not as the possessor would fain to think, of superiority but of weakness. -TR

Did you use the opportunity to suggest that she should likewise not take the crucifixion literally?

Haha, if only I were sharp enough to think of that. I was just a kid and still not an atheist. I was just a thinker.

Well there's some delightful religious inconsistencies.

"Wouldn't adam and eve being the only humans mean adam would need to have sex with his daughters or eve with her sons?"
"Don't think about it"
"wouldn't noah have to be incestuous with his children, or his children with each other?"
"Don't think about it"

But then this is a faith that thinks its okay to give your daughters away as to be gang raped to protect your sons from being raped by mobs.

You know, I never had the balls to ask about Adam and Eve and genetic diversity. Knowing what I know now, though, I think the explanation would involve some sort of divine act that provided the needed diversity for our species to survive.

I was too sciency when I was a kid, and was told that I talked too much.

did you ask a lot of questions, cause that is the pursuit of an analytical mind.
