   ## How do we know this myth is true?  There's another story in the bible   
   where a donkey has a conversation with his owner.  Where a wood stick turns   
   into a snake, here a virgins comes up pregnant.  These are anything more   
   than ancient myths and fables.  Who was there to mark the non existent   
   calendar when Noah supposedly built his ark?   
      
   How would they have known about   
   > this "local flood" that was to come?   
      
   ## That region was known to flood - also, since it was written long after   
   the supposed incident anything can be claimed.   
      
    And if they did   
   > know about this :local flood", why didn't they just   
   > move?   
      
   ## To WHERE?  To them that area was the whole world.  Now answer my   
   questions please - how did they remove the tons and tons of manure and urine   
   from the ark?  How did they ventilate the thing?  Where were the tons of   
   meat for the lions and wolves kept?  Where was the millions of gallons of   
   water stored for all the beasts?   How did Noah get the animals from the   
   other continents to the ark?  Who kept tract of the specialized diets all   
   animals must have?  What did they eat when the ark landed in the stinking   
   slimy mud, rotting corpses and dead vegetation that was the earth?   
   --   
   FP......   
   Wise men stare at the unknown, and boldly asks, WHY?   
   Others... fall on their hands and knees, and start mumbling...   
   (God did it! God did it!)
