I'm really thinking about going to this:

This circus act features one of the most loveable clowns in the creation sci biz, "Dr." Baugh. Cirque Du Soleil, watch out!

If this doesn't whet your appetite, perhaps this one minute radio spot will. "No, this is not science fiction, but actual history." Wow, I get goose bumps just listening to it!

Hmm. And I was thinking about whipping myself with barbed wire wrapped around tire chains that weekend - this might be even better!

No. That's wrong. I've heard Mr. Baugh speak and he isn't at all credible as long as you are actually capable of thinking. However, semiliterates who prefer to be told what they should believe may find him credible.

Well, I'm hoping for a prologue when Noah is all wasted and stuff, that he exposes himself in his tent. I hate it when that happens.

How are they going to recreate the animals? Using dogs and cats and rats? And then let it be known that of the 8 pair of each animal taken, all but one pair was slaughtered to appease god. Will they show that part?

Noah: T-Rex's?
Shem: 8 pair check.
Noah: Velcoraptors?
Ham: Oh my god! The pain, the pain! Get these damn things off me!
Japath: Looks like Ham died.
Noah: No bother, we'll just replace him with Canaan.
Japath: Where'd he come from?
Noah: No worries. Hippos? Who's got the hippos?

I keep saying, all the YECs need to do is re-create the ark. Build the damn thing, stock it with lots of food, load it up with several thousand animals (I'll even let them get away with just one representative species from each "kind", as long as they tell us what a "kind" is), and lock 8 people inside it to take care of themselves and the animals for, what is it, almost a year? Think of the publicity! Think of the press! Think of the conversions! Think of the satisfaction of finally shutting up all those naysaying evolutionists!

Are they going to have a two-headed calf as well? How about a mummified mermaid. Maybe a grossly deformed pickled baby in a jar? Bearded lady? Sword swallower?

Well, they'll probably juggle logic, contort the truth, suspend disbelief, and end with the everpleasing crowd favorite, the False Dichotomy.

Yes, that certainly is a difficult question for YECs to answer. How did people live with the dinosaurs without being eaten? Of course, they can probably create some crackpot answer for it, just like they do with any other question they are asked.

Here's a good link about Noah's Ark. http://www.abarnett.demon.co.uk/atheism/noahs_ark.html

In reality, "Noah's flood" was probably the regional flooding of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers in what is now Iraq. There may have been a historical man named Noah, and he may have built a boat to save himself and his family from this regional flood, but the boat was not the size of a Navy destroyer, did not contain every animal, and the entire world was not flooded. People just exaggerated the story over the centuries, and that is how the legend of the world-wide flood came to be.

If you do go, make sure you get the $20 premium seats. Rumor is the cheapo seats end up below the water line....

The response is that they are "baby" dinosaurs. They have an answer for everything. Oy!

Problem with that is the clear indication that the story is of Babylonian descent. After the flood, they came from the east, shin'ar. Shin'ar is Babylonia. I believe the Babylonian myth has the storm coming from the ocean, perhaps a tsunami or a powerful 1000 year event typhoon. There is another Hindu story, almost an origin story regarding the flood. The flood story was well under writing before the Hebrews even really existed, from what I have read.

Ironically there are two Noahs in the bible. The drunk farmer I alluded to previously in the thread and the pure Noah. A Noah did exist, but to the same extent that Cain, Ham, Japeth, Canaan, Abram did.

But does the bible say a global flood or a local one?

YEC's need to be spade and neutered.
