BA,
Yes, 8 healthy people working full time for 100 years could conceivably build a box to the dimensions specified in the bible. But I have a couple of questions for you...
Why did you personally attack someone simply cause they disagreed with you? (As in proclaiming that they had an IQ that would make them retarded.)
Do you actually believe that the flood story is legitimate?
Is your only point that a group of 8 people could build the physical ark in 100 years, or are you actually proclaiming your belief that these events occurred?
Thanks.
PS - That wasnt a haiku, by the way...you have 4 too many lines, and way too many syllables...
Please note that I said they had up to 100 years between Gen 5 & 6 to build the Ark. It could have been accomplished in much less time. As for gathering enough food for the time on the ark, it was (and still, for some cultures, is) common to store food, enough for a year, or in the case of the Egyptians for example, years. There is nothing impossible about anything in the Biblical narrative.
Anyone with good reading comprehension would note what I stated about the 100 year period being a maximum, not the actual time it took to complete the Ark. So now as usual on this forum I am forced to repeat myself to defend what I already stated to those who don't comprehend what they read. Such is the norm here. Again, this also the case with the IQ statement made previously. Note the word "if". Nuff said?
Of course the flood story is legitimate. These events actually occured. Correct. 100s of pages have already been dedicated to answering that question. Again, if you choose to disbelieve, alternative explanations can be bandied about ad nausem. But the fact remains that everything the Bible describes happened, and will happen, and no serious proof that these things did not or could not occur has ever been advanced, only alternative theories and prejudiced viewpoints based on an agenda of Bible Bashing.
BA- Faithful.
PS- On the Haiku, yes, of course, I should have called it a poem as it is not a 5-7-5 syllable, 3 line Haiku. I have a black eye on that one, true. I'm all better now, though!
