Noah's Ark.

[wildwood]

I'm bored so here goes...

Are there any religious folks on Answerbank who believe the Noah's Ark account as in Genesis? I mean, only 6 people left 6000 years ago, and some insects are parthenogenic so so not possible to have a pair most of the time. Not to mentioned the animals that lived on island/continents.

> But 6 people on the Ark?

There were eight.

Where did Cain get his wife from?

[peashaq]

and why did Noah let the unicorns drown?

wildwood - next time you're bored, go and paint your ceiling or read a book or something.

Ark, omg.. that sounds heavy.

Mark, I've already said there were 8 people aboard the ark - but without making a special effort to highlight someone else's error. Perhaps that's why you missed it. ;o)

Wouldn't these animals have eaten each other? Where was all the food stored? I hope he kept a careful eye on the wood worms he took.

[weecalf]

Why did he call it after an angel . Ark the herald the angel .....

Ah, but the mountains might have been lower in thos days - you have to account for heave and tectonic plate movement, since Days of Yore.

I know that this should be elsewhere but given the wonderful insanity expressed already, this is apropos:

One day, God speaks to Noah. "Noah", he says, "I want you to build another Ark."

"What, like the last one?" asks Noah.

"Yes," replies God, "Except this time, I want it to have 14 decks."

And shall I lead all the animals into it, two by two, like last time?' asks Noah.

No, this time I only want you to lead fish into it".

Noah is a little puzzled. "Just fish?" he asks.

"Yes," says God. "In fact, just carp."

"Just carp? Why carp?" Noah quizzes.

"Well," says God, "I've always wanted a multi-storey carp Ark!"

lol too early in the morning for that DT haha!

[naomi24]

DT, ha ha!! I like daft jokes. That's brightened the morning. :o))))

[weecalf]

If it took him all day to build it then it would not be ready till after ark

[boxtops]

that's what ark lights are for, weecalf......

[squarebear]

Reminds me of the old joke:

Teacher: Who was Noah's wife?
Boy: Joan of Ark

Thank you boxy, now it convinced!! :)

Actually, they could also have been higher, what with the erosion from all these mountain climbers and day trippers, mountain goats etc.
