   ================================   
   There's no need to even do the math.  Common sense alone tells us that the   
   ark story is a myth.  The fundies will try every scheme, every twist, every   
   guess imaginable to make the story "fit" no matter how absurd.....   
      
   Anyone who has worked in a zoo or on a farm would realize how silly the Ark   
   myth is.  This story got started like so many others - there was a huge   
   flood, some family packed all their farm animals into a large boat of some   
   kind and floated off!   After this story passed through a few thousand   
   people, everyone adding a bit of their own spin, we end up with Noah and his   
   ark.   
   --   
   Finzy....   
   "We look at the ancient Greeks with their gods on a mountain top throwing   
   lightning bolts and say, 'Those ancient Greeks. They were so silly. So   
   primitive   
   and naive. Not like our religions. We have burning bushes talking to people   
   and   
   guys walking on water. We're ...sophisticated.'"
