Noah's Ark: A Feasibility Study

or

Sailing with sauropods

To start out, I reviewed what Scripture actually teaches about what kinds of creatures were taken on the Ark in order to dispel the oft-repeated charge that the Ark needed to carry perhaps 50 million species of creatures. I then figured out how many animals were on the Ark, arriving at approximately 16,000. Since animals vary so much in size, a numerical figure itself is not too informative. Therefore, the 16,000 animals were assigned into body-weight categories. As a result, there were eight logarithmic categories spanning the hummingbird (a few grams each) and the largest dinosaur (nearly 100 tons when adult). Since most of the animals were small, the median animal on the Ark was about the size of a rat.

I also showed how the dietary needs of vampire bats, king cobras, certain highly-folivorous primates, and three-toed sloths could have been met on the Ark.

It turns out that simple labor-saving techniques could have enabled eight people to care for 16,000 rat-sized animals assuming the availability of only rustic tools, along with a 10-hour day, 6-day week, with time to spare.

...when we look at all these anti-Ark arguments, we note a conspicuous lack of scholarly response to most of them...

Make Up Your Mind....

>>God is MEAN
or
Xhosa EXISTS

Don't tell God that. It is easy to sit in an office and make up little click sounds for people to communicate with. When you actually go out and try to click along you face the brutal reality.

Catholics have the most rules, God spent a lot of time on the Catholics because it was all done alphabetically, the Protestants just got a bunch of Coles notes God copied at the last minute rather than real rules.>>

The fundamental nature of Mankind's egoic insanity is the default position that attempts to "play both sides of the story."

The position of "having one's cake and eating it, too" is totally antithetical to the nature of freedom, risk, light, truth, energy and Love which supports the entire universe.

Playing both sides against the middle is the essence of the spiritual forces of evil which are essentially spirits dissconnected from the source of energy, light and truth. The only thing left for spirits like this is to find homes - ie. conduits - to express themselves through individuals in this world. And individuals who accept this matrix become unwitting worshippers of this process which can only seek to define, label, limit, claim, blame and shame control the universal energy, light and Love which is FREE. And because of this internal spiritual disconnect, since these individuals aren't getting it from within their souls direct from our Father in Heaven they seek to get it and control it from others.

When you examine this for yourself Graystone, I don't believe you really want to be serving and worshipping limits. This process only enslaves ourselves and others.

Transcend!

Reach for the stars!!

Smile!!

Dance!!

Ask our ONE Lord God in Heaven who is our Father to show you and replace your will with the freedom, light, energy and Love of His will.
