Question

Help answer this question below.

Noah had 7 days--from the time the famous ark was completed until the flood came--to get all the animals on the vessel. How did 7 people, 4 men and 3 women, managed to load 3 millions animals on the ark in such short time?

They arrived in pre-packaged selections of various flavors of jerky, to be later reconstituted by adding some water from the receding floods.

7 is just used here as a number of completion. The main focus of the flood narrative is not about Noah putting a bunch of animals on an ark, its about God's new covenant that was made with Noah after the flood, which was that He would never destroy the world again.

- So we must dismiss all the animals and the ark as some irrelevant
  gibberish?

First, where did you get the number 3,000,000? Back then, much fewer were known.

Second, God helped.
Comments
- In science(Biology) it is said that there's approximately 1.5
  millions deifferent known species. There probably were more animals that today are extinct. If double that number(male and female of each species) that's the 3m animals. In addition, I didn't see anything in the bible where's clearly stated that "God
  helped". +6.

- It's not clearly stated, but as you noted, it would be damn near impossible for "7 people, 4 men and 3 women" to do it. Therefore, logically, God directed the animals to Noah's ark. ;-)

  by BigDaddyBS on August 23rd, 2009
- So since it would be "logically" impossible for Noah and his
  helpers to do such a monumental task, then it was God who actually
  did the job. God actually "directed" so many animals to the ark,
  so Noah didn't actually have anything to do with that. I can't
  even imagine a vessel with measurement of 450 feet long, 75 feet
  wide and 45 feet high, being all cramed up with 1.5x2 millions
  animals. How could Noah have gathered male and females of each kind when some species are asexual, others have only females, and
  others are hermaphrodites and still beat the dealine? Do you know how much food two elephants consume a day? Why would the God give a task to a human that God already knows he can't do?
  - Report
  by buttman on August 24th, 2009

  to say that Noah had anything to do with it. What did the God need Noah for then?

  close with just 1 or 2 windows. Elephants, lions, tigers, panthers, bears, kangaroos, allegators, snakes in all of its

- A fairly good size vessel to be built by only 4 guys, and nowhere
  in the Bible it's mentioned that God offered any assistance. So it's quite fair to infer that it took many years for 4 guys to
  built such humongous vessel. Many of those animals are carnivores--they must hunt--it's their nature. Did Noah bring extra animals aboard to feed them? Where did all that water come from? The Bible
  states that the waters prevailed 22 feet above the highest point,
  but it only rained for 40 days. Yes BigDaddyBS, lets talk about
  using "reason". To completely cover the entire surface area of the Earth, 22 feet above the highest point, would require millions

  have been so thick, the Earth would probably have compared to a gas giant planet like Neptune, for example.
  (http://wiki.answers.com/Q/In_Noah's_ark_story_how_big_is_the_flood_and_about_how_many_animals_were_on_the_ark_and_where_did_it_happen_exactly) Listen to yourself: "Many people feel that all dogs,

  anything. I believe you're a man who can think and reason for yourself. I would like to think you're smarter than that.

  I'm certainly not trying to change your mind, just pointing out how I CAN believe. It's up to you to "believe" what you want, and obviously, it's that the Bible is untrue. That's you're prerogative.

  Just don't insult me (and others) by implying that "belief" and "reason" ARE not compatible. If that were true, there wouldn't be those scientists proving that the Bible COULD be true. And they are.

Noah was actually a mad genius and using the power of genetics and knowledge of evolution he actually didn't bother rescuing any animals. He just made them all in test tubes aftewards.r

  you look at it it defies logic and reason. According to Biology
  studies, there's approximately 1.5 millions different species of
  animals. If he had to put male and female of each species that's
  1.5x2=3 millions. The story says he loaded all those animals on a
  vessel that measured, according to the bible, 450 feet long, 75
  feet wide and 45 feet high. Goodness, you don't have to be a
