   * And not one word on how Noah trapped and shipped millions of living   
   creatures from ALL OVER the earth to this ark - or how he fed them and

   *  Seeing is believing and there would be no proof it was the ark.

   * What evidence????   
      
   Evolution, contrary to popular

   "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.'"
