Noah's Ark

Cat Creature of Cyberspace "In Fluffy We Trust" How is it that all the species on the Earth can evolve from a single cell but a huge ark can only hold 1/6 of the species? Or why would the Ark need to be able to hold all of today's species unless they couldn't evolve from other species? |

BAD DAY AT THE ARK ------------------ Roger McGough, Liverpool poet On the eleventh morning Japheth burst into the cabin; 'Dreadful news, everybody, the tigers have eaten the bambanolas!' 'Oh, not the bambanolas,' cried Mrs Noah. 'But they were my favourites, all cuddly and furry and such beautiful brown eyes.' Noah took her hand in his, 'Momma, not only were they cute but they could sing and dance and speak seven languages.' 'And when baked, their dung was delicious.' added Shem wistfully. Everybody agreed that the earth would be a poorer place without the bambanolas. Noah determined to look on the bright side. 'At least we still have the quinquasaurapods.' 'Oh, yes, the darling creatures,' said his wife. 'How would we manage without them?' On deck, one quinquasaurapod was steering, cooking, fishing, doing a crossword and finding a cure for cancer. The other was being stalked by a tiger. --oOo-- |

Noah's Ark
I am still trying to see how you would think it is ok to drown
innocent children but save a drunk. On Fri, 11 Jul 2008 19:35:01 -0500, "RogerN" wrote: "Shat T.

Noah's Ark
Ask a liberal, they think it's OK to kill children through abortion but don't want to see a serial murderer get the death sentence. We all agree it's terrible when our troops get killed in Iraq fighting terrorism but liberals think innocent children should get the death penalty for their own convenience.

Noah's Ark
Grumpy,
I'll bet that's very similar to the questions they asked Noah. Remember, he worked on that ark for almost 120 years. However, A few years back they found that the "Gopher wood" referred to in the KJV of the Bible was "gophered (laminated) wood" and huge beams were made by assembling multiple boards together. These were held together with *metal* *pins* which had large *metal* washers on either side and had been braded so that the pin served as a very large rivet. It was also learned that this *metal* pin and it's *metal* washer was made from a type of brass or bronze *thought* not to exist until about 50 to 75 years ago. I wonder how Noah knew to make this brass or bronze thousands of years ago and the geniuses of today only learned how to do it less than 100 years ago. Do you think "somebody" may have told him? I started to question your "God bothering" comment but I suppose you could be right. Since there are many gods or the first commandment could not exist as it says thou shalt have No Other Gods before Me. To lift one up must in some slight way tend to "bother" the other gods. Congratulations. Al ------ Grumpy wrote: Just what part of this is "metalwork" bone head? Why can't you stick to the God bothering newsgroups and save us all some time ?
