Two of every animal, and 7 of every clean animal rounded up on a boat of that size, then a global flood? You see nothing improbable about that? And dinosaurs? It's silly.

it could be a prediction for the future, you know, global warming and all that... rising sea levels... not sure who noah is in all this though
And to put ALL species , one of each kind in a ship, you would need a ship 100x bigger then titanic.
Good thing Noah lived hundred of years, or else he would never had time to build it.
I wonder how he went to Australia to save the koalas and kangaroos.
Just another made up story from the Bible. It's fun to tell kids, though.

Why, because you don't think God could or would do it?

KellyJay has quite a high chess rating, he's certainly not unintelligent, and I don't mean to come across so dismissive. I'm no longer a Christian, though even when I was I never thought there was any contradiction between Jesus being the Savior and Noah's Ark being a fable. Though I know a lot of Christians who adhere quite strongly to a literal Biblical interpretation. And for them that would be a contradiction.

On the surface it sounds so ridiculous as to be discarded offhand.
For example: There are 350.000 different sorts of beetles.
Now, that's already 700.000 beetles Noah would have had to have on board his boat.

According to Wikipedia:
Estimates put the total number of species, described and undescribed, at between 5 and 8 million.
That means between 10 and 16 million (two of each kind) aboard the Arc...
