Wouldn't the predators on the ark have eaten everything by the time the 40 days was over?

let say noah did manage to get all the species into the ark... about half of them would have been predators and the other half natural prey.. are we going to belive that they went without eating for 40 days and nights?

or the ridiculous theory as the wt would have it that noah fed them nice tasty bales of straw which they happily munched on?.

and even if one of these two exhuses were true, when the animals were let out of the ark into a world now deverstated by a flood, then wouldn't they have continued eating eachother???

January 1 WT - Garden of Eden - Most inane article in a while

the wt has really managed to outdo itself in regards to stupid, poorly researched articles attempting to defend ancient myths as literal history.

the latest effort is the cover article "the garden of eden - myth or fact?".

no moderately educated adult should have to ponder that question for long before answering "myth".

they had better wine glasses at this hall, but otherwise everything was the same.

we had one at our hall last year.

so the people in the side rows get to hold the wine glass twice.

has anyone read this book?

i haven't, but i just watched a documentary on it.

the author's premise is that the idea of jesus as a god coming to earth came out of egyptian mythology and that there is no real archeological evidence that jesus actually existed.

thanks for your letter and the thoughts contained.

others had commented on the latest shift of the interpretation of this generation.

as you recognize this allows for an unending extension of time and likely stems from an awareness of the approach of the year 2014 marking 100 years since the date of 1914.. .
