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 think they were killed in the flood, but have you ever read (I think) in Job about the leviathan?  Sounds so much like a brontesaurus or dipladucas doesn't it?  People try to say it's a croc, but it's  nothing like a crocodile.  Also Psalms 74 says He lopped off the heads (plural) of leviathan, and made mincemeat of the dragon.  I'm not trying to make people believe anything, it's just one of the things I wonder.

The probiscus of the mosquito has two tubes, one injects saliva and the other suck out blood. The diseases are in the saliva.

The first boat was probably a raft...\n\nAlthough it was before recorded history, there is evidence that some of the first Homo Sapiens to leave Africa, traveled from Ethiopia to Yemen, between 75-80,000 years ago. The distance is less than 10 miles, so they could see which direction to explore, and it was after an Ice Age, so the water levels were down appx. 150'...\n\nThe motivation for these Hunter/Gatherers was to find new food sources, and it was clear that wood floats, so they had the confidence they could make the journey safely, which they did...\n\nLater, perhaps 70,000 years ago, there is evidence that Australian Aborigines could have only arrived there my the making of rafts...

No, b/c God made a promise that He wouldn't send a great flood again like in the days of Noah.

The story of Noah's ark is only a retelling of a much older Mesopotamian flood account. However, the Mesopotamian's didn't have the god and punishment of sin in their story. It was added for the drama and fear that is seen throughout the bible.\n\nHow big would it have been? Well the bible tells you! A cubit is about a foot and a half long. Do the math. And how did Noah get 2 of each species from all the continents from all over the world?\n\nModern day shipbuilders don't believe the story. He had tools made of stone! It is simply not possible. (just watched a National geographic show on Noah's ark)Why should we? \n\nGrowing number of scientists who believe? Where? Can you give your source of info? Oh do you mean they believe in a flood or in the story of Noah?\n\nThere is much to doubt not only about Noah, but about the entire book.

We were just discussing this at a family meal the other night. It's interesting to say, WHAT IF the government knew it could be spread that way and didn't tell us. That would be scary.\n\nI believe the chemical process that happens in a mosquito has to do with passing on malaria and similar type things.  I've been told the chemical process in the mosquito kills any chance of passing HIV. I sure hope that is true!!\n\nThe government is using fish to eat mosquito larvae to slow the spread of West Nile Virus.

Noah’s deluge. To understand you have to start with Gen.6:1.\nGen.6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, \nThe word “men” is Heb. (ha-adham) means “the man Adam” or his progeny. The word “them” is referring to Adam and Eve. The scripture is talking about Adam and Eve’s clan and not mankind. Mankind a subject for another time. \nGen.6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. \nThe term “sons of God” means angels or fallen angels. The word “men” again means Adam and Eve’s progeny or clan. Satan was trying to corrupt God’s plan. That is, from umbilical cord to umbilical cord would come Christ. This is why Eve is called “the mother of all living”.\nGen.6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. \nThe word “perfect” Heb. (tamin) means “without blemish as to breed or pedigree”.\nGen.6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. \nThe word “earth” Heb. (erets) means “land”, not the whole earth. Besides God says, “to destroy all flesh” in Adam’s clan.\nGen.7:24 And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days. \nGen.8:11 And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. \nIf the entire globe had been under water 150 days, where did this olive leaf (pluckt off) come from.\nGen 9:11  And I will establish my covenant with you; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. \nRemember what God said in Gen.6:17, “to destroy all flesh”. Here God makes a covenant with Noah and his sons. Neither shall all flesh be cut off any more. Neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. Two floods. One for flesh, Noah’s deluge. One to destroy the earth back in Gen.1:2. The global flood is a subject for another time.\nSome consider the plateau of Pamir to be the original Eden. This probably was the homeland of Adam's descendants up until the time of the Flood. Today it’s known as the Tarim Basin or Eastern Turkestan. This region is surrounded by a ridge of very high mountains forming a gigantic basin in the midst of them. It measures 1,000 miles long and is about 350 miles wide.  \nUssher’s Chronology says 2348 B.C., Davidson says November 2345 B.C. to November 2344 B.C. for Noah’s deluge.\nRecords of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia., their King Lists date to about 3350 B.C., and show an ongoing civilization well through the period of the flood. Egypt felt nothing of the deluge, they had an uninterrupted succession of Dynasties. China's civilization during the Yao Dynasty (between 2400 B.C. – 2200 B.C.) with no record of a cataclysmic interruption. \nSo Noah’s deluge was a local flood. But there was a global flood in Gen.1:2. Study II Pet.3:5-7,  Jer.4:23-27.\nPsa.104:6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. Psa.104:7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. \nGen 1:6  And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

I find that question rather thought provoking and slightly humorous.\nMaybe we could communicate with all animals back then.\nHow did Noah get all those animals and bugs and creatures on the boat for instance, maybe he just asked.\nAdam did run the garden of eden and therefore he must of been very knowledgible with many things.  And if he had such a close relationship with God then who knows, maybe you are on to something.\nI did hear someone say that the animals had fear of man put into them after the flood.  And God did confuse the language of the people at the time of Babel and who knows what else .\nI think CS Lewis wrote a divinely inspired story that tugs at the heart strings of those who can see the love , gentleness and bravery and integrity of that beautiful lion. I felt like bawling my eyes out when he had to take that cruel humiliation for those whom he loved and looked after.  Just like Jesus did for us.

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

it has to do with faith. You believe in God and he will provide. In the bible Jesus multiplied the bread and fish and fed all the people that went to hear him. So, why not believe that God could have helped Noah, and allow him to get all the animals in the boat. Don´t you think? It is a matter of faith, he(Noah) believed that he could fit all the animals in the boat because God ask him to and he trusted God.

None, Moses never took any on the ark, Noah did. Thus the title, Noah's Ark!

1.) Paul and Saul\n2.) Noah had the ark not moses
568667
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!

Yes God did kill eveyone eexcept Noah and his family and the animals of course. The reason he did this is because eveyone was sining so greatly and the only one who not was Noah. God wanted to start over and give us all a second chance. Aren't you glad he did? Or you wouldn't be here now would you?

Media releases concerning the possibility of mosquitoes transmitting AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) were common when the disease was first recognized, and the subject is still addressed by tabloids that seek captivating headlines to increase their circulation. The topic was initiated by reports from a small community in southern Florida where preliminary evidence suggested that mosquitoes may have been responsible for the higher on average incidence of AIDS in the local population. The media was quick to publicize claims that mosquitoes were involved in AIDS transmission despite findings of scientific surveys of the National Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that clearly demonstrated that mosquito transmission of AIDS in that community appeared highly unlikely. Nevertheless, media releases perpetuated the concept that mosquitoes transmitted AIDS, and many people still feel that mosquitoes may be responsible for transmission of this infection from one individual to another. \n\n     There are three theoretical mechanisms which would allow blood-sucking insects such as mosquitoes to transmit HIV.\n\n1. In the first mechanism, a mosquito would initiate the cycle by feeding on an HIV positive carrier and ingest virus particles with the blood meal. For the virus to be passed on, it would have to survive inside the mosquito, preferably increase in numbers, and then migrate to the mosquito's salivary glands. The infected mosquito would then seek its second blood meal from an uninfected host and transfer the HIV from its salivary glands during the course of the bite. This is the mechanism used by most mosquito-borne parasites, including malaria, yellow fever, dengue, and the encephalitis viruses.\n\n2. In the second mechanism, a mosquito would initiate the cycle by beginning to feed on an HIV carrier and be interrupted after it had successfully drawn blood. Instead of resuming the partial blood meal on its original host, the mosquito would select an AIDS-free person to complete the meal. As it penetrated the skin of the new host, the mosquito would transfer virus particles that were adhering to the mouthparts from the previous meal. This mechanism is not common in mosquito-borne infections, but equine infectious anemia is transmitted to horses by biting flies in this manner.\n\n3. The third theoretical mechanism also involves a mosquito that is interrupted while feeding on an HIV carrier and resumes the partial blood meal on a different individual. In this scenario, however, the AIDS-free host squashes the mosquito as it attempts to feed and smears HIV contaminated blood into the wound. In theory, any of the mosquito-borne viruses could be transmitted in this manner providing the host circulated sufficient virus particles to initiate re-infection by contamination.\n\n     Each of these mechanisms has been investigated with a variety of blood sucking insects and the results clearly show that mosquitoes cannot transmit AIDS. News reports on the findings, however, have been confusing, and media interpretation of the results has not been clear. The average person is still not convinced that mosquitoes are not involved in the transmission of a disease that appears in the blood, is passed from person to person and can be contracted by persons that share hypodermic needles. Here are just some of the reasons why the studies showed that mosquitoes cannot transmit AIDS:\n\n \n\n  Mosquitoes Digest the Virus that Causes AIDS\n\n\n    When a mosquito transmits a disease agent from one person to another, the infectious agent must remain alive inside the mosquito until transfer is completed. If the mosquito digests the parasite, the transmission cycle is terminated and the parasite cannot be passed on to the next host. Successful mosquito-borne parasites have a number of interesting ways to avoid being treated as food. Some are refractory to the digestive enzymes inside the mosquito's stomach; most bore their way out of the stom
