It was a big boat, three stories high, and longer than a football field, and only the young of those beast and fowl who were living souls and breathed the "breath of life" needed to be on the ark, with their food supply.
God took care of the rest.
Sorry, but the young of many species rely on their parents for survival. And where does your Bible state that only young animals were taken? Moderator cut: Deleted
Oh, and if your God can "take care of the rest" then he wouldn't need to use a flood in the first place.
The tower of Babel rebellion was in the 49th year of Abram's life, according to the book of Jasher, and Abraham was born 75 years before Bishop Usher calculated, having not had the "Correct Record" -"Book of Jasher" at his disposal at the time he calculated.
Do you carry on your own parents' culture? How about your grandparents culture?
My husband's "culture" was northern [from Michigan], mine was Southern [KY hillbilly], and we spent many many years warring it out over differences in our family cultures, before we settled down to our own "family" culture [we've been married 47 years, next Oct.].
so your telling me that they started all the Hindu traditions which recognise 33 million demigods(and thats not including all the expansions of The Supreme Personality of Godhead) that even out date your 4000 year's,now thinking that they all came from Noah,and Noah being so close to God wouldnt this religion have been established within the generations,how would such diversity arise in these cultures and even the language Sanskrit is the oldest language in the world and still one of the most advanced,the vedas that were compiled are written in this language how did the hebrews create such a language-even our number system we use today originates from India,that whole zero-nine number system,is the basis for all science today,what i mean that without that number system calculations would be immpossible.-you have to admit your way ovrer your head here,there is no way this flood wiped out the whole world,or everyone would still be speaking hebrew or something very similar
kangaroo is not the name of the animal, but an English invention. It was called "mee-nuah" by the Aussie natives in at least one tribe's language.
About the word: kangaroo........
Quote:
Word History: A widely held belief has it that the word kangaroo comes from an Australian Aboriginal word meaning "I don't know." This is in fact untrue. The word was first recorded in 1770 by Captain James Cook, when he landed to make repairs along the northeast coast of Australia. In 1820, one Captain Phillip K. King recorded a different word for the animal, written "mee-nuah." As a result, it was assumed that Captain Cook had been mistaken, and the myth grew up that what he had heard was a word meaning "I don't know" (presumably as the answer to a question in English that had not been understood). Recent linguistic fieldwork, however, has confirmed the existence of a word gangurru in the northeast Aboriginal language of Guugu Yimidhirr, referring to a species of kangaroo. What Captain King heard may have been their word minha, meaning "edible animal."
Um....you REALLY should learn to do some investigative research before posting such crap.The "stones" also depicted such things a "brain transplants".LMAO!
It turns out that the discoverer of these stones later admitted carving them himself.
"Then, it seems, the bubble burst. A BBC TV documentary was severely critical of the Ica stones, drawing the attention of the Peruvian press and resulting in the arrest of Uschuya by the local authorities. Interrogated, he soon admitted he had carved the stones himself; he wanted to bilk the tourists and claimed he never thought it would get out of hand on such a large scale. After his release, Uschuya continued to make and sell stones, presumably with official knowledge."
Next?
You should do some research that is honest and investigative on the Ica stones. All you have done is repeat falsehoods as if they are true.
And any copies of Ica stones are obviously not the same as the real and original and historical ones, which have been written of since the Spanish Conquerors took some back to England in the 1500's. http://www.dinosaursandman.com/resea...AUR_STONES.pdf
Brain transplants are depicted on the ica stones, as well as heart transplants, caesarian sections [of course they would not have called them that name], as well as many other things not known to so called modern science at the time the over 50,000 stones were brought to light, and all were anatomically correct; but you want to believe that a poor uneducated peasant had knowledge, before modern surgeons, of those things.
Not only that, you want to believe that he depicted anatomically correct dinosaurs with the patina of age, on stones that no modern tool could have carved the depictions on, and before those dinosaurs were even known to modern, much less the correct anatomy of them known. Only a laser could have carved the Ica stones that are genuine.
-Oh, and modern men have transplanted the brains of monkeys by switching the heads, and there are reports from China and Russia from surgeons who have defected to the west in past years, that brain transplants have been done in those nations -on unwilling political and religious prisoners; but the Ica stones depicted brain transplants, not just head transplants, long before those reports came to the west.
That is a hoot, what a load of crock to justify a fable that is beyond any reasonable possibility, except in the mind of the deluded. It does not matter the language or the name, since it is here today, the fables says it was on the big boat.
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, and
a kangaroo by any other name would have the DNA of today's kangaroo.
You missed the pictures on the Ica stones of Kangaroos in Peru.

Sorry, but the young of many species rely on their parents for survival. And where does your Bible state that only young animals were taken? That's obviously another one of those little "retcons" you apologists pulled out of your arses.
Oh, and if your God can "take care of the rest" then he wouldn't need to use a flood in the first place.
The rest do not breathe the "breath of life", and had no need of the Ark, as the skeptics want to make believe they do. Gen 7:15 And they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life.Gen 7:22 All in whose nostrils [was] the breath of life, of all that [was] in the dry [land], died.
Noah did not take sucklings on board.
The Book of Jasher is the record which Moses compiled, using the writings of the patriarchs, which he redacted for "The Correct/Upright Record" and redacted even more for Genesis. Jasher correlates with and explains what Moses shortened, without needing to explain, in Genesis, for "behold, it was written in the "Correct Record -the Book of Jasher"
At that time, after the death of Methuselah, the Lord said to Noah, Go thou with thy household into the ark; behold I will gather to thee all the animals of the earth, the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and they shall all come and surround the ark.
And thou shalt go and seat thyself by the doors of the ark, and all the beasts, the animals, and the fowls, shall assemble and place themselves before thee, and such of them as shall come and crouch before thee, shalt thou take and deliver into the hands of thy sons, who shall bring them to the ark, and all that will stand before thee thou shalt leave.
And the Lord brought this about on the next day, and animals, beasts and fowls came in great multitudes and surrounded the ark.
And Noah went and seated himself by the door of the ark, and of all flesh that crouched before him, he brought into the ark, and all that stood before him he left upon earth.
And a lioness came, with her two whelps, male and female, and the three crouched before Noah, and the two whelps rose up against the lioness and smote her, and made her flee from her place, and she went away, and they returned to their places, and crouched upon the earth before Noah.
And the lioness ran away, and stood in the place of the lions.
And Noah saw this, and wondered greatly, and he rose and took the two whelps, and brought them into the ark.
And Noah brought into the ark from all living creatures that were upon earth, so that there was none left but which Noah brought into the ark.
Two and two came to Noah into the ark, but from the clean animals, and clean fowls, he brought seven couples, as God had commanded him.
And all the animals, and beasts, and fowls, were still there, and they surrounded the ark at every place, and the rain had not descended till seven days after.
And on that day, the Lord caused the whole earth to shake, and the sun darkened, and the foundations of the world raged, and the whole earth was moved violently, and the lightning flashed, and the thunder roared, and all the fountains in the earth were broken up, such as was not known to the inhabitants before; and God did this mighty act, in order to terrify the sons of men, that there might be no more evil upon earth.
And still the sons of men would not return from their evil ways, and they increased the anger of the Lord at that time, and did not even direct their hearts to all this.
And at the end of seven days, in the six hundredth year of the life of Noah, the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
And all the fountains of the deep were broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened, and the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
And Noah and his household, and all the living creatures that were with him, came into the ark on account of the waters of the flood, and the Lord shut him in.
And all the sons of men that were left upon the earth, became exhausted through evil on account of the rain, for the waters were coming more violently upon the earth, and the animals and beasts were still surrounding the ark.
And the sons of men assembled together, about seven hundred thousand men and women, and they came unto Noah to the ark.
And they called to Noah, saying, Open for us that we may come to thee in the ark--and wherefore shall we die?
And Noah, with a loud voice, answered them from the ark, saying, Have you not all rebelled against the Lord, and said that he does not exist? and therefore the Lord brought upon you this evil, to destroy and cut you off from the face of the earth.
Is not this the thing that I spoke to you of one hundred and twenty years back, and you would not hearken to the voice of the Lord, and now do you desire to live upon earth?
And they said to Noah, We are ready to return to the Lord; only open for us that we may live and not die.
And Noah answered them, saying, Behold now that you see the trouble of your souls, you wish to return to the Lord; why did you not return during these hundred and twenty years, which the Lord granted you as the determined period?
But now you come and tell me this on account of the troubles of your souls, now also the Lord will not listen to you, neither will he give ear to you on this day, so that you will not now succeed in your wishes.
And the sons of men approached in order to break into the ark, to come in on account of the rain, for they could not bear the rain upon them.
And the Lord sent all the beasts and animals that stood round the ark. And the beasts overpowered them and drove them from that place, and every man went his way and they again scattered themselves upon the face of the earth.
The rest do not breathe the "breath of life", and had no need of the Ark, as the skeptics want to make believe they do.
Say different here...
Genesis 7:4 "For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth."
Genesis 7:23 repeats.........
"And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark."
Genesis 7:4 "For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights, and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth."
Genesis 7:23 repeats.........
"And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark."
Whatever living substance was on the" face of the ground" was destroyed, but that which was in the waters, and that which was under the ground, not on the face of it, was not destroyed, and that which was on the Ark for keeping alive was that flesh which breathed the breath of life, and the foods they ate.
Noah did not take seeds of plants on board to replant the earth, but only what was eaten by those on the ark. God took care of the replanting of the earth.
