When lion and lioness are released from the ark, they are going to have to wait for a long while, years before they eat their first meal. Their prey can't be eaten until their cubs are old enough to survive on their own and reproduce. Or perhaps, the lions did eat something that obviously went extinct the moment they ate them. What about tigers...and pumas...and cheetahs...

Why the story of Noah's ark is scientifically impossible: Minimum Viable Population
by ILoveTTATT2 ini didn't know this but there is a way to calculate the minimum population required for a certain species to survive over the next 100 to 1000 years.
this is called the "minimum viable population".. genesis states that 2 (or 7) of each "kind" went into the ark.
supposing that each "kind" means each "species", and they all could fit in the ark, and they came out safely, most of the species would have died, because it is impossible to survive, long-term, with a starting population of 2.this is interesting:"an mvp of 500 to 1,000 has often been given as an average for terrestrial vertebrates when inbreeding or genetic variability is ignored.

Woman's Purpose
by StopTheTears ini'm probably going to say some things here that will disappoint many.
there are some that may look back over the years and say "man i really blew it" i'm not writing the following to scold for failures, but rather to help those who are young enough to put into practice what god wills for their life, and also to those of us who are in our middle years that still have time to change some things, in order to please god and find a peace that only being in his will can bring.
first let me say that god didn't create man for you.

American democracy in crisis

the united states has got a problem.
hillary clinton is so unpopular that practically any republican who ran against her would probably have beaten her.

I don't know how much the video has been edited, but from the first second I expected someone in the group to say "this is comedy" or something along those lines, but they were quite serious about the whole thing. Quite incredible, assuming that this group is a random sample and there are no actors/actresses. I am more prone to believe that participants are knowingly playing stupid in exchange for money.

Sun,moon, earth and mathematics .
by atomant injust thought id let you all in on some info i found on northeasttruth.com.
that magical moment where the moon blocks out the sun!
but only just enough to perfectly cover the suns disc, whilst still allowing us to see the corona of light and other electromagnetic forces radiating from it.. this only happens because the moon diameter is exactly 1/400th the size of the suns and is positioned at exactly 1/400th of the distance between earth and the sun!so, when we see it from the surface of earth, we are in the only place this can ever be seen, at the only time it could ever happen.

End of mysteries:
there are trillions of trillions of possible ratios and other relations between numbers used to measure things (degrees, distances, speeds, heat, change of phases, etc) that you can find in the universe. The odds of a particular sequences of numbers appearing again and again are 100%. I can assure you that you can win the lotto more times than you find "2732" if you buy all the tickets available multiple times. Also, I am sure that, if I am willing to waste my time, I can find another sequence appear more times than your "2732" simply because I have trillions of possible combinations to play with. It's a numbers game. Just a game. There's nothing divine, Only human narcissism.

Welcome,
Your story highlights the worst of the WT: blood and shunning of family members
I am curious. What's happened to your sister, your mom and your other brother since your breakdown?

I got something even better, but it points in the same direction. You be the judge.
A broken clock is right twice a day, even if you use accuracy to the 1 billionth of a second. Isn't that incredible?
Two is the base of the binary system, which is indispensable for any digital system. Two is the number of humans that is required to produce life in a natural environment, "2" is required for human life to exist. Also, in mitosis a cell subdivides in two (not three or four or five). Also we have pairs of chromosomes, not triads. Also the day is divided in two stages, day and night. Also it takes two to tango. The miracle of the number two should not be ignored. It's proof that we are special, that we are the center of the attention of Jehovah and Jesus (here's "2" again: two deities, the letter "J" twice). Coincidence? Hell no. Now I am a believer in the divine powers of "2"

Why are the atheists on this site so hateful?
by HopeEverLasting inall us creationists try to do is offer true evidence that the one and only god is out there watching and looking down on us.
we present that certain scientists know the truth about god and that he is everything that we see from trees, life, weather, the air we breath, and even the most simple molecules.
but of course you atheists reject it because it is your nature to not be humble and see god because you want to rule your own life.

I used to like religion and religious people until I found the high levels of dishonesty that pervade religion and religious people. I don't hate, I just have a much lower level of toleration for pious B.S.
All us creationists try to do is offer true evidence
See what I mean

My big problem as a teenager and as an adult is that I saw women only as sexual partners/girfriends, never as friends. So I never had female friends. That's half the population that I dismissed; big mistake.
Garret, if she is not interested in you as a future sexual partner, then take her as a friend. No losses. This way you won't get as nervous, and you will allow the relationship to develop smoothly in any direction it is meant to go: friend, girlfriend, wife or nothing.
EDIT: I guess Garret is gone. I just noticed this thread is a year old
