  So... according to the WTS, Adam was created a little over 6,000 years ago. After being created he was given the task of naming all the animals. Then Eve was created, a talking snake got them to eat some fruit and the rest is history...

  Anyway...

  How long did it take Adam to name all the animals before the fairer sex was brought to him, undoubtedly distracting him from the heavenly chore set before him?

  And...

  Later in Genesis, Noah was tasked with building an ark, so as to preserve 8 humans and 2 (or 7, depending on which chapter you prefer to read) of each of the animals.

  So...

  How many of these ga-jillion critters was Noah able to fit on his boat, along with enough food/water for them all?

  These are questions that beg to be asked after reading the "Watching the World" segment on "How Many Species on Earth"...

  Wow that is very interesting. Hence based on the 6,000 years of Adam (1975 WTS prediction) and this Awake comment , the end will come after more than 1,000 more years.

  Noah... LOLZ

  I remember being a kid and hearing that BS story and thinking... ok 2 of everything and 7 of everything else... on a boat roughly the size of a football feild... even stacked in little square crates that couldnt be done. Not to mention the sheer weight of all the animals and food and water and whatever tooks Noah would have loaded onto the boat for after the flood...

  Oh yea and then theres the whole thing on how it flooded the whole earth all at once... and how the dinosaurs died out at this time as well... i mean wow. At 8 years old I had figured out that little mystery.

  I think I once heard that a solution to this problem is by adopting the idea of semi-evolution. If Noah for instance had one pair of "cats", they would become all the cat species we have today. Laughable theory though!

  Notice the satellite hovering over the pyramids. . .

  I wonder if he's trying to do some end-times calculus. . .

  It is laughable. To accept that notion of evolution means a much, much faster rate of evolution than what scientists say. So it creates a paradox for someone like JWs who refuse to accept "man-made" evolutional theory, yet have to create their own version of evolution to justify the belief in the flood.

  I suggest anyone that thinks the first couple are real to research "Geb and Nut". Look at the Epic of Enki and see where the whole account really came from. Do independent research on these Egyptian stories and see for yourselves where these fables came from. And I am not saying that's the only sources from which this account was stolen from--there could well be many others.

  Sooo many species; I bet this is just a blessing from jay-hoover. Ya know, so we have something to do to stave off boredom in the noo-system.
