Another question, did boat have some type of cover? Roof perhaps? With such tremendous amounts of rain for 40 days and 40 nights, you'd think boat would be filled with water and sink?
Wait, they must have had water pump at that time, or kept family busy with buckets...

Hmmm.....

While I was out today I was contemplating Dr Noah then it occured to me that a lot of the bibles miracles could be answered with modern science.
For example: Mary's virgin birth....IVF
raising Lazarus from the dead....CPR
Casting out demons.......anti-depressants
I'm sure there are countless other examples, certainly made me smile while I was pushing the shopping trolly.

As for the cover on the boat, I'm sure God would have had the forsight to tell him to stick one on there.

You think about that stuff while you're shopping? With thoughts like that, I'd probably forget why i came to the store.

How about talking animals, can we explain that scientifically? I shall contact pet psychic!

Just how my mind works , I'm a thinker biding my time till I start a psych degree next year.The usual day to day stuff bores me so I do things like try to see things from a completely different angle and see where it takes my thoughts. People can be entertained or taken aback by me at parties and get togethers, just depends on how open their mind is.

As to the talking animals...I don't actually recall ever reading about talking animals in the bible but ,taking your word for it, I would say how about a gifted vantriloquist (sp?).

I had a thought about the water into wine.I can't think of how he might have done it with science but I was thinking ....what a cool skill to have.How popular would you be socially? Um...excuse me Jesus, I hate to be a bother but would you mind...?

Me and some friends of mine had a nice long talk about religion(s) over some hookah and wine a couple of nights ago and the subject of the platypus came up. My friend Derek's conclusion? He must have been SUPER trashed to come up with that

My question is.....what poor species got wasted for this sacrifice??????
Maybe you should actually read Your bible. If you had you'd know the answer to that question.
