Hahahahaha. There are more than 1 million animals and insect species in this world and you want us to believe Noah's boat that is not up to half of the Titanic carried 2million animals and insects plus dinosaurs plus human plus all the food they'd need for 1 year? LMFAO!

Who said species and insects were invited into the Ark? There is a clear difference between 'kinds' and 'species', animals and insects. cool

In the Bible, God commands Noah to build a boat that is 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high in advance of a great flood.

Now the question you should ask yourself is how many species of living things do we have?

Secondly is this Noah story really true?

You are only talking about animals, what of plants species and even fungi. There are close to 400,000 plant species in the world. How did Noah preserve the plants?

species is a group of closely related organisms that are very similar to each other and are usually capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring.
Asian elephant and African elephants are different species. While donkey and horse are of the same species.

Kind is an ambiguous term.

But even if he took few animals the size of his ship is too small that it would fail. While the amount of water required to fill the earth to the highest point is not possible.

How many mice entered the ark and how many left a year later? If one couple of mice enter your house, in a year you will have millions, as one female mouse is able to birth an average of 8 children every 6 weeks.
Not forgetting that insect produce thousands of eggs at a time.

This issue applies to all animals, chicken, reptiles, etc.

Maybe Noah sterilised all the animals.

What about the housefly and numerous insects that have relatively short life span? How were they able to survive for a year.

Another problem with the Noah myth is the Kangaroo problem. How did kangaroos and other animals unique to Australia make it to Australia within 6000 years without leaving a trace along the way. Australia are isolated from any other land. Same problem with Madagascar. Most of the animals in Madagascar is unique to the island, and there is no way, animals could migrate from the middle east to Madagascar without flying there.

Elephants belong to the same kind. Horses, Donkeys, Zebras etc. are also a kind. The elephant kind would have given rise to African, Asian, Woolly mammoth and any other type of elephant kind that came into being. The animals needn't be mature or even post pubescent.

God formed the world "in and out of the waters. There is still water above and below the earth. The windows of heaven were opened and the waters of the deep released. Look up, why is the sky blue?

So how many kinds of birds and how many kinds of animals are there according to your classification of kinds? Are Ostrich, dove, sparrow, chicken, Turkey the same kind or different kinds of birds? What of Dogs, are wolves, foxes and jackals the same kind or different kinds? What of hyenas?
Also tell me is Bonobos, chimpanzees, orangutans and gorillas are same or different kinds with humans. You guys need to publish your classification of kinds, so others can understand.

As I said provide a well written journal of your classification according to kinds.

There is still water above and below the earth - What is meant by above and below the earth? Does that include space?

windows of heaven were opened and the waters of the deep released - windows where?

Look up, why is the sky blue? - We all know why the sky is blue and sometimes orange and even red.

So what happened to plants. Plants do drown also if submerged in water for prolonged periods.
If all the plants die, what did the animals and Noah's family eat when the left the ark?

I have absolutely no idea how much water it would take to flood the earth such that the highest point at that time - or any time - would be covered.

The earth would have been vastly different at that time. Climate, topography the works. Don't forget according to the biblical account rain wasn't even a thing. The Earth was like a perfectly configured biosphere.

Myth? In as much as myth is often taken to read fable, no I don't. I believe that it is absolute truth. The earth was covered until all that had breath died. And it was a global flood.

Dogs are a good example, as are cats. All dogs including wolves, jackals, coyotes etc. would have been a kind. What is commonly termed speciation today is the loss over time of information the original near-perfect pair would have had in localised populations, as certain features are de-emphasised or emphasised, various traits become more pronounced or recessive.

Humans are uniquely created in the image of God. And in some ways are a good example. Adam and Eve would have hade a perfect genome, containing traits we see in what are termed the "races" today (although through the descendants of Noah).

Over time, some traits would become more or less pronounced as populations diverge and localise. It evidences genetic information being lost or becoming recessive, as opposed to the acquisition of new information that proponents of evolution are yet to evidence.

it marries with what we can glean from the historical record. It takes greater faith to believe evolution.

There is no space - not in the way it is typically presented in movies. There is water above and below the earth. Above the firmament of heaven and in the "deep".

I suppose not all would die. And there would be seeds. The waters receded gradually after the flood which would have given others time to sprout again. On-board food stores would have sufficed for a time.

You are yet to provide a concise classification mythology for your "Kind".
The first problem with your examples of kind is that inter breeding is impossible between your kind, as a cheetah cannot breed with a lion.

Now how does your cat "kind" differ from the ape "kind"?
