Two of everything on the Ark; what did the anteaters feed on? (myth, church)

Yeah! Millions of 'em! Not only the millions of species we see today but millions of species that have gone extinct and millions of species that have yet to be discovered...they would have all had to have been aboard.

Me too. Quite hilarious! Like Woodmanthrope's classic claiming that Noah trained all the animals to crap into buckets which could then be emptied over the side of the boat. Noah must have been the greatest animal trainer in history!!

In any event, I believe that God spoke and created the universe. He was certainly capable of holding the ark together.

Ah yes! When you can't rationalise something, just invoke 'MAGIC'.

The 'flood' as you may have noticed, was an epic fail.

Mysterious ways.

Or did the anteaters all of a sudden turn vegetarian?

What about the vultures and other carrion eaters? What did they eat? Remember, only two of each kind was to be on board.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proofs, not "this might have happened".

The ants procreate 2 at a time...when TWO were born the old ones were eaten...and the cycle continued.

And as my mother used to say: "They" wouldn't let them make a documentary if it weren't true.

That's certainly a 'my mum' saying isn't it, like....'Don't leave your belt off, you'll catch a cold in your stomach.'

And they were created by a premier documentary production company. I believe it was called Hanna-Barbera.

I'm assuming you're an atheist...right? Just a guess.

Can you tell me why it seems like atheists are so obsessed with magic? Why do you guys believe in that so much? You're always talking about it. Christians certainly don't believe in that nonsense.
