Post Noah never existed

(note: moderators please feel free to move this as I am new to this branch of the forum)

Noah never existed. Plain and simple. Why? I'll try and break it down for you.

The Jews (who I believe wrote this passage) had little to no knowledge about any of the so called "God's Creatures," not even themselves. Not only that, but there were animals that would remain un-discovered to X-ian Europe for thousands of years. There are creatures we are still discovering today? What about in Asia, or the Americas, which the Jews didn't even know existed? How could Noah possibly get those animals on board, seeing as the flood supposedly covered the Earth.

Okay, let's say that, somehow, Noah managed to round up 2 of every animal in the world and kept them from eating each other. The size of a ship needed to carry all those for any length of time would have to be the size of a small country. An amount of wood that size doesn't exist, and it would have to be a very LARGE miracle, which the Bible doesn't state happened.

X-ians, go ahead and try to prove me wrong. I'll be keeping an eye on this forum, and feel free to e-mail me.

Welcome, Sushi.

I think this post is better off in Biblical Criticism and Archaeology.
