Okay. They were stupid enough to build a tower, trying to reach God. This wasn't the best thing to do, and God specifically told them to spread out and filled the earth. They disobeyed and so God divided thier languages.

They couldn't understand each other, so they spit up and (African, Oriental, Latin, etc.) went their own ways. Eventually, Latin (In Italy) split up into most of the Euro laguages (French, German, Spanish, English, etc.). African (Somewhere in N. Africa) became all different dialects. I don't know where Oriental started, probably in China somewhere did the same thing.

Was that before or after the flood? I have forgotten.

so thier was many races and one language and when the tower fell all the people that spoke a language found all the people that spoke that same language and they all jump in a big ship sailed across the sea ended up in the middle of the rain forest with rings in thier noses.who got to choose who should stay on the land when the tower fell anyway

Thats an easy one and at least remotely possible. The real question is how the tortoises made if from easter island. And what about all the insects?
Plants and freshwater fish of course are left out of the equation altogether.

But hey, what use is a miracle if it is actually possible!

You obviously want to go to the flood now, so we will. There were only 2 animals each, and since the earth was pretty much the same climate-wise all the way around, there would be plenty of animals right where Noah was building his ark.

Have you ever noticed that an if you drop an ant in the toilet it won't drown? Insects don't need to breath. Sea creatures live in water so you don't need them in the ark, do you?

A newborn hasn't done anything wrong. When Adam ate the forbidden fruit he sinned, and he put sin on all of humanity. Adam doomed us all to hell. God gave us the way out by sending Jesus to die on the cross. When doing that, he saved us. Only we have to accept Christ as our saviour.
