They only took two of each, so that’s like half as many as you think. Obviously.

But we’re discussing a flood story that transcends cultures and religions in that region that has geological support for its occurrence in that area, albeit without the details that the various religions have injected into it for teaching purposes.
You’re referencing the pinnacle question of all science and existence, and something we’ll never have a definitive answer for.
The flood stories can be explained. The creation of the universe cannot.

It's very well possible to believe the World and 'life' began by a divine being while also believing the Hebrew stories of the Torah are historical fiction. Even the Jews admit this.

Ok, if the story of the flood isn't real....what lesson exactly does it teach?
That humans are the masters of earth and all its animals, and are not mere animals who have no direct link to God.

This. Same applies to evolution and various other scientific theories that some religious groups claim are anti-God.

Can find things 46 billion light years away or diameter of 92 billion light years, yet still not found Noah’s Ark.
Fables are tough to find. Unbelievability easy to find.
Can you imagine?
Gathering all 6,500 mammals that exist on Earth in one place - from all corners of the planet…And, particularly a male and a female for each. This excludes reptiles and others. Probably need to get extra to cover attrition in the process.
How big was the Ark?
Must have space for all on the Ark and food for all of them. Many food chain links so have to keep them from not eating one another. Keeping cheetah away from wildebeast. And then place them back on Earth in a new ecosystem.
What a fete by Noah. That dude not getting what he deserves if able to accomplish this IMO.
Oh yeah, Not to mention the people to repopulate the Earth and without incest / DNA roulette.

If God can feed a mob of thousands with 2 fish and five loaves of bread, then getting two of every animal on the planet into the ark is no problem for Him.

It's not far fetched to say there was a great flood in Babylon, and a guy had a hunch to build a large boat, and put his family and a bunch of animals on it, and survived the flood to tell his story to people, and you know how stories go. I tell somebody one version, then he tells someone his version of my story, then that person tells someone their version, eventually the story is completely incorrect and exaggerated and with extra shite added and important stuff left out. But I think the original story did happen, just not exactly like it's still told today, with two of every animal etc.

That picture has been passed around for 20 plus years.
If it was there it would be a theme park by now.

quote:plenty of biblical events are historical events. Everything we know to be true in the Bible is a historical event since it happened in history. But saying Jesus of Nazareth existed and was a holy man of his time, is different than saying he had actual magical properties, was the son of God, died on the cross and rose from the dead 3 days later. I’m not saying you’re wrong to believe in Christ, but just saying archeologists find old shite that proves biblical events means everything in the Bible must be true is not a sound argument. Hell we don’t need archeological evidence for most of the new testemant to be proven true or false because it occurred during the height of the Roman Empire. Record keeping was pretty good.
I wonder how long it'll take you to realize that archaeological discoveries are regularly providing evidence that biblical stories are in fact historical events

If the flood really happened, the lumber it was made of would have been used for building and fire immediately after the waters receded and for years after.
Why would the actual boat still exist?

Why couldn’t it have happened? We weren’t there. Not not mention it was impossible for people to use the internet and know of the existence of animals native to other places thousands of years ago so when they say “every animal on earth” it probably just means the animals the writer knew existed. I don’t think it’s illogical to believe that a guy built a huge boat and put a lot of animals on it during a flood.
