"101 Contradictions In The Bible"
There's a thread about Noah's Ark somewhere on here.
Noah's Ark is so full of contradictions it's incredible.
God saw that humans were going bad. Humans.
If not humans and he saw all this "violence".... then, well.... he created CARNIVORES and then complains about "violence", that makes no sense whatsoever. He created humans as OMNIVORES, ie, they go around killing animals anyway. He literally created humans as killers. So, again, makes no sense.
So he decided to kill ALL ANIMALS by causing a flood. That doesn't make sense. Why not just cause a plague among humans that wouldn't impact all the other animals?
Then he wanted animals to go aboard a boat.
The Story of Noah - This is the account of Noah and his family. Noah was a righteous man, the only blameless person living on earth at the time, and he walked in close fellowship with God. Noah was the father of three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Now God saw that the earth had become corrupt...

"“Build a large boat[
a] from cypress wood[
b] and waterproof it with tar, inside and out. Then construct decks and stalls throughout its interior. 15 Make the boat 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high."
The size of the boat comes from "
- 6:15 Hebrew 300 cubits [138 meters] long, 50 cubits [23 meters] wide, and 30 cubits [13.8 meters] high."
Now, this is about the size of the largest wooden boat that was ever built, the Wyoming, this boat was so big that it needed pumps to pump the water out continually because the wood couldn't support a boat like this otherwise.
Then he wanted "Bring a pair of every kind of animal—a male and a female—into the boat with you to keep them alive during the flood. 20 Pairs of every kind of bird, and every kind of animal, and every kind of small animal that scurries along the ground, will come to you to be kept alive. 21 And be sure to take on board enough food for your family and for all the animals.”"
So, what does "every kind of animal" mean? That's a HUGE topic, did he take two cats? Or two of every type of cat? And FISH are animals, did he take fish on board? Says so.... And birds, I mean....
And then the food. There are millions of types of animals, the boat simply would not have been big enough. And then for all the food. To feed this number of animals would have taken a lot of people, and to keep them in sanitary conditions and not have them dying of disease with them shitting all over the place and peeing all over the place.
And then the carnivores would have eaten everything or fought with everything.
