Souff Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 Sorry to burst your bubble here Souff but the RSPCA would have been waiting to charge Noah for Cruelty. All those animals confined on a boat without being able to go out and exercise. Very very cruel, even though they were being saved. It is better to let them drown than to save them you know.As for the new ark perhaps thats what the new shipyard in Adelaide is for. Its not for building new destroyers after all. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souff Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 Noah would never have got development approval from his local council for building such a large structure on his property, plus he would not have been allowed to 'collect' so many animals (seen as hoarding) and keep them in a confined place. He would have needed to provide refrigeration facilities for the carnivores food which then raises the question of power - as he didn't have a permanent address, the energy company would not have hooked him up. Also which animals were sacrificed for carnivore food.........????? Just another fairy story....lol Yes, I suspect that old Noah would be the patron saint of all animal collectors and would have just thumbed his nose at the council, as all collectors do. Don't worry about the food ..... they would have a load of dried food on board with them, but in those days you didnt get a choice of brand with the dried food and it didnt come in packets either.

Souff Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 As well as building approval all the wood would have to come from sustainable sources. Can't just go and chop down a forest even though it was going to be flooded anyway.Not too mention that every animal must have its own individual food bowl. Could you imagine all the noise on that boat?? Trough, Yarracully, trough. Not bowl. Any initially stressed creatures would almost certainly have been managed with a little bit of some of those exotic spices and 'erbs and a little bit of that stuff that comes from poppiesprobably. A little bit of harp music would filter around the deck .... aaaah bliss. There would have been no distress at all I imagine. A peaceful cruise on troubled waters.

Souff Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 Luckily all his neighbours were too dead to complain. Yes, it is hard to complain when you are under water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souff Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 If Noah and his band of merry men only saved two of each animal, all animals after the first generation are the result of incest. And if there wasn't one of each sex then... Oh dear.... Yes, Souff has wondered about this too. Perhaps there were already a few extras on board, or a few pregnancies already confirmed, before the media conference when they brought them on board, 2 by 2. People since have used a bit of poetic licence methinks. As they do. Noah probably thought in terms of "at least 2". That is how a collector would think.

Souff Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 And what did they eat? I'm pretty sure they didn't have fridges in those days, so how did the carnivores survive? Perhaps they actually took a lot more than 2 of each, but they only had 2 of each when they finished... Dried food lasts for much longer than 40 days and takes up very little space. And they had plenty of water to re-hydrate it. There is plenty in good camping stores these days - you should buy some and try some - you can even get stroganoff these days!

HeavyPaws Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I wonder how they all survived at that altitude. Apparently the flood covered the entire land, which surely means the mountains as well. Would they not have frozen to death? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeckoTree Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Its a load of crap where do these evangalists get off huh? I know that noahs ark was really a vedic spaceship the vimanas and the pair up was really a DNA storage system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamuzz Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Anyone who like reading about theories of religion could try some Immanuel Velikovsky. He postulates - that there were physical upheavals of a global character in historical times - that these catastrophes were caused by extraterrestrial agents - that these agents can be identified. Only in his case, the extraterrestrial agents are comets and other planetary bodies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immanuel_Velikovsky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you it makes you wonder with all that is being said about climate change and sea levels rising. Probably won't get to the same level for a while but I might get the old row boat out of the shed roof just in case. Look good me and ten dogs in a fourteen foot dinghy.

ellz Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Goodness me...don't you all get it? Noah wouldn't have needed refrigeration for dog food......he would have fed BARF!! Ready supply with many of the other species on board! But I do agree the aRSePCA would have been after him for neglect. You're not allowed to keep certain species confined.

Hang on Ellz, they were only on it for 40 days, that is, a bit over a month. They wouldn't have been breeding up too many things for food supply during that time. Sun dried or smoked would have been the go. Smoked meat can be really nice ..... Hope they managed to smoke a goodly number of snakes and feed them to something else ..... Oh and btw, NOAH was the RSPCA ...... because he really was caring for all creatures great and small. Souff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
