Question

Help answer this question below.

Was Noah able to place all of the animals on his ark?

Could there be another reason so many animals were saved from the flooding such as going to higher ground?

Could there be even a realistic reason. No Noah, just myth.

There was no "higher ground". Other than fish and mammals of the sea, unless they were on the ark, nothing would have survived.

- And then after the flood God took a big bucket and scooped all the water off the planet again, while filtering out the fish of course.
  
  What's more: To flood the entire earth you need well over 8 km of water, which with the 40 days of rain story means 200 meters (more than 600 foot) of rain a day, that's more than 8 meters an hour, or a meter every 7.5 minutes. Even if Noah's ark was not picked up and smashed by an enormous mudslide or tidal wave or something than he still would have had to do a hell of a job pumping out any rain that fell into his boat.
  
  In short: the story is simply ridiculous. It's mythology, and it shoul be treated like that.

I was just told by someone, that it was probably only a small area from where these animals were taken and not the whole planet, which would be ridiculous.

He probably made a raft and saved the family goats and chickens from a flash flood, and then the local media blew the story up a little.

No... the physical dimentions of the boat/ship to take all the animals could not have been built back then or even today.. a Myth is a Myth is a Myth.

yes , it is possible to gather the dna from all plants, animals and humans for safe storag for the preservation of life. One would be silly to literally think that Noah really gathered two of every thing and walked them into an ark. That would be impossible for there would have been countless amount of species and two of each would be infinite. It is probably true that there was just a few combinations of dna, a recipe of sorts, that would reproduce everything on Earth given enough time. Since everything in our galaxy is composed of atoms it only makes sense that the possibility exists where at one timee verything began as an atom, hence the word Adam. Maybe there's alot in the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth (BIBLE) book that people have failed to really interpret correctly.
Anything that can be conceived in the mind is possible. Isn't that written somewhere too?

Who knows ... some people say that there were unicorns, too, but apparently they died before getting on the ark. It'd be cool if there were dragons, too. And, because of their ability to fly anywhere at any speed, they wouldn't have needed to use the ark, because they'd merely find some other place to settle. =o)

- There is a great deal of fabrication with regards to The Flood and the animals. It is true Noah built an ark, and only a few animals were installed on the ark. Many animals took to higher grounds and were saved from drowning and so did the people.

Yes, he teamed up with Dr Who and stowed them all in the TARDIS along with all of the 'evidence' that backs up creationism and religion.

DR Kent hovind and others have suggested that Noah may well have placed on his ark Babies of most of the animals he had. Remember not all animals take years to grow up and become muture enough to breed - so Noah, his family and the Animals were only on the ark for 40 days and nights and the Animals were put on the ark BEFORE the flood, and so as a result Noah was able to fit two OF EVERY KIND on the ark. Plants may well have been saved as seeds, and thus, when the flood disappeared they all eventually grew back. weather of not noah saved grass seed is debatable - no one knows, but he may well have done. Also, Noah and his family probably knew how to make what we call "Hay" and "Silage" - how else was he to feed most of the animals. It's also likely that a surplus of fruits were saved for the 40 day duration, Monkeys and the like would've had to be fed. Also, remember that it wasn't untill AFTER the flood that God said that Humans could eat meat - so that meant that Animals and dinosaurs probably didn't eat meat, so Lions, Tigers, baby T-rex's and the like were probably fed vegetation of some-sort.

It's interesting when we think about thi, isn't it? search for DR Kent's creation seminars on Youtube and you'll see how the earth was really created.

All of the higher grounds were completely covered, so unless you were a fish, you were in trouble.

Maybe that's why there's dinosaur boneyards - massive amounts of bones in centralized locations.
