I Googled the information for how many animals. It is not that difficult, take the known species of today, add the species that went extinct, take two of each and seven pairs of each clean species and a pair of each unclean.
If the flood account is a lie than so is everything else in Genesis.
It amazes me that men and women, who have existed on this planet less than 100 years, (and therefore witness to nothing of pre-history) can be so adamantly "cast in concrete" opinionated on what did or did not exactly happen 5000, 10000, or even 15000 years ago.
Are we so proud that we cannot admit that we "just don't know"?
Sigh...
But we do know that a world wide flood is not possible, and we also know that the earth is billions of years old, not just a few thousand...Perhaps the people who wrote those stories in the bible did not, but today over 2000 years later we do.
Not to mention the vast underground reservoirs of water. That's one reason they didn't want the oil pipeline going down through the middle of the US due to the underground water getting messed up.
Like I said before, If Mt. Everest were put into the Marianas Trench it would be covered by 1 mile of water.
ALTER2EGO -to- EUSEBIUS:
Exactly. I forgot to mention the vast underground reservoirs of water.
You will notice that atheists never have any evidence to prove anything they say. They simply state "I don't believe it happened" or "such and such scholars with Ph.Ds said it didn't happen." They then proceed to make false statements in which they further express theirs and their scholars' opinions--not fact.
Somehow these people are convinced that because they have an opinion (just like everybody else on this planet has an opinion), their opinion must therefore be given more credence than other people's opinion. Facts/evidence is what's necessary to overcome another person's belief. Since the atheists have no facts to prove that the global flood did not occur, their opinion is theirs and theirs alone and is meaningless to me.
Did you notice that there isn't one link to a reputable geological website? No links to academic papers.....nothing ....just Bible apologetics from people that don't have a single degree in archaeology, geology or any other related science..

The earth could be billions of years old.
Between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 could be billions of years. After God created the earth it **became** chaos and vacant (vs.2).
But whether the earth is billions of years old or many thousands does not prove nor disprove a world-wise flood. What proves it are the facts. The facts are on our side.
Not only is the world-wide flood possible, it actually happened.
So where did all the different species come from then? Ah...........you believe in evolution! Interesting.
Tut! Tut! Play nice now.
ALTER2EGO -to- RAFIUS:
Variation within the exact same species or type of animal is not evolution. That's where most people have been conned by scientists in the pro-evolution community. When people that are interracial marry (eg. a white person and a black person), they produce a child that has both of their HUMAN genes. The child might look light skinned aka a VARIATION of its parents. No evolutionist in the scientific community would have the gall to refer to the resulting child as an example of "evolution." Yet, they turn around and apply that terminology to variation within the animal kingdom where we see different variations of dogs, cats, horses, etc.
The example I used with the interracial couple having a child is what happened with the animals from the ark of Noah. They simply produced variations of themselves after they came off the ark.
