====================
The above is cut & pasted straight from the Jehovah's Witness magazines.
You can't reason with a religious fundamentalist. Any sane person knows if
water covered the entire earth for months at a time there would no
vegetation left alive but sea plants. Everything would have starved to
death shortly after the preditors ate the vegetarians.
When the ark landed everything would have found itself in a stinking,
unsanitary, muddy world of rotting carcasses and vegetation.

"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.'"
