After much thought and research, I have come to realize that the God of the OT was/is the same as the God of the new.  And He is love.  He showed great love before the flood, when the earth proved bad and He was heartbroken (Biblically, He was hurt in His heart.)  Although He had regrets that He had created mankind because of the evil disposition of man, He sent Noah to warn everyone that all they had to do was enter the Ark to be saved.  That's it.  No blood atonement, nothing.  Just get on the boat.  Of course, we know the end of the story.  And He showed great love to Abraham, who beseeched God to turn His great wrath aside from Sodom and Gomorrah if he, Abraham, could find 50 righteous amongst them.  God obliged Abraham, even down to 10.  There were none found, and God destroyed them all.  But, He always, ALWAYS gives us a way out.  It's just that we are either too wicked, selfish, stupid, stubborn or blind to take it.

I do not believe this is achievable. This is an example of a real occurrance going mythical over time. I'm pretty sure the writers of the Bible had no real idea exactly how many kinds of animals there are on this planet. \n\nThis story existed in Sumer and Babylon prior to the writing of the Bible. The hero in the Mesopotamian myths was either Ziusudra or Utnapishtim, depending on the tablet. The story was incredible enough then, and by the time the Bible was written, it had become moreso. \n\nIn all likelihood, "Noah" was a trader in livestock who got washed out to sea during a bad storm, the likes of which were well known in Mesopotamia at the time. It would certainly have looked like the world had flooded. \n\nWhy seven days? Seven is the most sacred of numbers in that part of the world.

Leviticus 11 and Dueteronomy 14 gives the list.\nNoah was told to take two of the unclean animals into the ark and seven of each of the clean animals.  This was because God knew that they would begin to eat them for food more after the flood. IS still a law because it is a health issue and anyone who says otherwise is making an excuse for their eating habits.4. What did God give people to eat when He created them and provided a perfect diet? \nGod prescribed a vegetarian diet for Adam and Eve.  \n"And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed ... and every tree ... yielding seed." "Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat." Genesis 1:29; 2:16. \nAnswer: The diet God gave people in the beginning was fruit, grains, and nuts. Vegetables were added a bit later (Genesis 3:18).  \n5. What items are specifically mentioned by God as being unclean and forbidden? \nAnswer: In Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14, God very clearly points out the following groups as being unclean. Read both chapters in full. \n Pigs are unclean.  \nA. All animals which do not have a split hoof and chew the cud (Deuteronomy 14:6). \n Shellfish and catfish are unclean.  \nB. All fish and water creatures that do not have both fins and scales. Nearly all fish are clean (Deuteronomy 14:9). \n Birds of prey are unclean.  \nC. All birds of prey, carrion eaters, and fish eaters (Leviticus 11:13-20). \n The ones which live all or part-time in water and do not have both fins and scales are unclean.  \nD. Most "creeping things" (or invertebrates) are also unclean (Leviticus 11:21-47). \nNote: These chapters make it clear that most animals, birds, and water creatures people ordinarily eat are clean. There are, however, some very notable exceptions. According to God's rules, the following animals are unclean and are not to be eaten: hogs, squirrels, rabbits, catfish, eels, lobsters, clams, crabs, shrimp, oysters, frogs, and many others. \n6. But I like pork. Will God destroy me if I eat it? \n"For, behold, the Lord will come with fire ... and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many. They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves ... eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord." Isaiah 66:15-17. \nAnswer: This may be shocking, but it is true and must be told. The Bible positively states that all who eat "swine's flesh," the "mouse," and other unclean things that are an "abomination" will be destroyed with fire at the coming of the Lord. When God says to leave something alone and not eat it, we should by all means obey Him. After all, the mere eating of a piece of forbidden fruit by Adam and Eve, a sinless couple, brought sin and death to this world in the first place. Can anyone say it doesn't matter, when God so clearly shows it does? God says men will be destroyed because they "chose that in which I delighted not." Isaiah 66:4.  \n7. But didn't this law of clean and unclean animals originate at Sinai? Wasn't it for the Jews only, and didn't it end at the cross? \nNoah's sacrifice of a clean animal (Genesis 8:20) shows that he understood the difference between clean and unclean.  \n"And the Lord said unto Noah, ... Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens ... and of beasts that are not clean by two." Genesis 7:1, 2. \nAnswer: No indeed! The Bible has ample evidence that there were clean and unclean animals from the very dawn of Creation. Noah lived long before any Jews existed, but he knew of the clean and unclean, because he took into the ark the clean animals by "sevens" and the unclean by "twos." Revelation 18:2 refers to some birds as being unclean just before the second coming of Christ. The death of Christ had no altering effect whatever on these health laws, since the Bible sa

Noah's Ark\n\n  Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, there lived a man named Noah.  Noah was a very good man, and God loved him because he lived like God wanted him to live.  Noah had a wife and three sons, named Ham, Shem and Japheth, and each of his sons had a wife. \n\n        It wasn't a very happy time on the earth.  There were big ugly giants that lived in those days, and people became very mean to one another.  There was a lot of fighting between people, and lying and stealing, and it was just all bad.  But Noah and his family were always very nice.  God became angry with all the mean people and the big ugly giants.  He was so upset with them all that he was sorry he made man on the earth, but he was very pleased with Noah and his family. \n\n        God talked to Noah one day and said, "Noah ... Noah.  I have to put an end to all of the bad people and giants on the earth.  I will destroy them all, people and animals, by sending a Great Flood, to wash them all away.  I want you and your family, to build an ark out of gopher wood.  Make it with rooms inside and make it really, really big.  Put a window in the top, so light can get in, and build a door on the side.  I want you to make it three stories tall with rooms inside." \n\n        God told Noah all the measurements to use in making the ark, like how long and how high and how wide to make it.  Then God said, "I am going to send two of every kind of living thing on the earth to keep them alive during the Great Flood.  They are going to live with you and your family on the ark.  And I will start my promise with you." \n\n        Oh my!  Noah had a very big job ahead of him.  He had never even built a boat before, let alone, an ark.  God told Noah just exactly how to do everything.  So, Noah and his family began building the ark.  They had to cut down big, tall trees for the wood and had to haul it to the place where they were building the ark.  They had to cut the trees so all the wood would fit together just right, the way God told Noah to.  They didn't have the same kind of tools back then, that there are now, so it took a lot of time, and a lot of hard work.  They needed tar to go between the wood, so that the water couldn't get in at all. \n\n        They had to build separate pens for all the different kinds of animals.  They built big pens for the big animals, like the elephants and the giraffes.  They built medium sized pens for the medium sized animals, like the cows and the horses.  They built smaller pens for the smaller animals, like the deer and the sheep.  And they built little cages for the little things, like the chickens and the birds.  They also had to build places to store all different kinds of food, for all the different kinds of animals.  Yes, it was a very big job, indeed!\n\n        People made fun of Noah and his family while they were building the ark.  They laughed and said, "Noah, you crazy old man, there isn't even a lake close by!"  Every time they passed by, they had something mean to say to Noah and his family about how silly they were to build an ark.  They didn't know that God was going to bring a Great Flood to wash them all away. \n\n        Noah didn't care that the people were laughing at him.  He didn't let the people or anything that they said, bother him because he knew what was going to happen.  He was very happy doing whatever God told him to do, whistling and singing while he worked.\n\n        It took a very long time to build the ark.  Many days were spent cutting and lifting and measuring and fitting.  It was hard work.  When the ark was finished, God told Noah to start loading the ark with his family and the animals because in seven days, the rain would start.  God said it would rain for forty days and forty nights, and that would destroy every living thing on the earth. \n\n        So, Noah did what God told him to do, and he, and his family started bringi

We had this read at our wedding. It's from Genisis, chapter 2\n\n 18 The LORD God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." \n\n 19 Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. \n      But for Adam [h] no suitable helper was found. 21 So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs [i] and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib [j] he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. \n\n 23 The man said, \n       "This is now bone of my bones \n       and flesh of my flesh; \n       she shall be called 'woman, [k] ' \n       for she was taken out of man." \n\n 24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. \n\n \nI think verse 24 is what you're looking for.

God made the animals. That's your answer. Now ponder something really tough - like where that one sock goes that I keep losing when I do laundry.

From  Earth Science Explorer:\n\n"Tropical Savannah: Animals\nThe species of animals in a savanna depends upon the geographic location of the biome. The African savannah, the savannah with which most people are familiar, is home to a wide variety of animals. A short list of some of those animals includes wildebeest, warthogs, elephants, zebras, rhinos, gazelles, hyenas, cheetahs, lions, leopards, ostrich, mousebirds, starlings, and weavers. "

Hello The agitator.. :)\n\nI pray you had a Blessed Thanksgiving Day.. :)\n\n \nCould Noah's Ark really hold all the animals that were supposed to be preserved from Flood?\n\nA growing number of scientists believe that geological evidence indicates our world has undergone a catastrophic flood. This is causing them to question whether or not the biblical account of Noah's ark could be true. Many people are rereading the Biblical description of the Ark to ascertain the feasibility of such a vessel to fulfill its designated purpose in light of present day knowledge of both zoology and our present day knowledge of shipbuilding.\n \nSize comparison between average size one-story home and Noah's Ark. Illustration from The World that Perished.How big was Noah's Ark?\n"And God said unto Noah… Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt though make in the ark, and thou shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 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. A window shalt thou make in the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side therof; with lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it." (Gen. 6:14-16)\n \nA cubit is the distance between an adult's elbow and tip of the finger, no less than 18-inches [45.72 centimeters]. (Scene from The World that Perished.)Most Hebrew scholars believe the cubit to have been no less than 18 inches long [45.72 centimeters]. This means that the ark would have been at least 450 feet long [137.16 meters], 75 feet wide [22.86 meters] and 45 feet high [13.716000000000001 meters]. Noah's Ark was said to have been the largest sea-going vessel ever built until the late nineteenth century when giant metal ships were first constructed. Its length to width ratio of six to one provided excellent stability on the high seas. In fact, modern shipbuilders say it would have been almost impossible to turn over. In every way, it was admirably suited for riding out the tremendous storms in the year of the flood.\n\nThese dimensions are especially interesting when compared to those given in the mythical, Babylonian account of the Ark. Here the ark is described as a perfect cube, extending 120 cubits in all directions and with nine decks. Such a vessel would spin slowly round and round in the water and from the standpoint of stability, would be a disaster.\n\nWas the ark big enough to hold the number of animals required?\nThe total available floor space on the ark would have been over 100,000 square feet, which would be more floor space than in 20 standard-sized basketball courts.\n \nAssuming an 18-inch cubit [45.72 centimeters], Noah's Ark would have had a cubic volume equal to 569 modern railroad stock cars.The total cubic volume would have been 1,518,000 cubic feet [462,686.4 cubic meters] --that would be equal to the capacity of 569 modern railroad stock cars.\n\nNow comes the question, how many land dwelling air breathing animals would have had to be taken aboard the ark to survive the flood?\n\nAccording to Ernest Mayr, America's leading taxonomist, there are over 1 million species of animals in the world.\n \nGod only provided the Ark for the protection of humans and land-dwelling, air-breathing creatures. A huge number of animals would not need to be taken aboard the Ark because they are water dwellers. Representatives would be expected to survive the catastrophe. With God's protection against extinction during the Deluge, survival would have been assured. (Scene from The World that Perished, a Christian motion picture about the Flood)However, the vast majority of these are capable of surviving in water and would not need to be brought aboard the ark. Noah need make no provision for the 21,000 species of fish or the 1,700 tunicates (marine chordates like sea squirts) found th

Here's something to think about.\n\n1) How could he have possibly fit 2 of every animal and insect on an ark that size?\n2) How did he control the situation of having animals that are natural enemies on a boat together?\n3) How did he feed all the different animals when some can only eat specific food from their region (other animals or region specific plants)?\n4) How did he fit a months worth of food on the ark with the animals?\n5) What about the specific climate needs of each animal?\n6) How did Noah and his family repopulate the globe with different races of people?\n7) Who the hell cleaned up all the shit?!?\n\nI could really go on and on - THINK!

In the Bible, in Job 40:15-24, God describes to Job (who lived after the Flood) a great beast with which Job was familiar. This great animal, called ‘behemoth,’ is described as ‘the chief of the ways of God,’ perhaps the biggest land animal God had created. Impressively, he moved his tail like a cedar tree! Although some Bible commentaries say this may have been an elephant or hippopotamus, the description actually fits that of a dinosaur like Brachiosaurus. Elephants and hippos certainly do not have tails like cedar trees!
